Mr. ". k. Whee1ccb, who, with Ir. Dan Stual-, managed the Ccrbas--F'l1z- simmons fight at Carson City, arrived d the Adams yesterday.

 'Thera are a great many fake shows Of this sort travelling through the country" said Mir Wheelcek to Re publican reporter yesterday afternoon at the Adams, which is a disagreeabla thing for us to contend with.

Under such circumstances we geF a chilly re- ceDtiOn the first night, but the show never faiis to win q crowded house when Il is repeated the next night.
 When We were in San Francisco I ran across Q FTeEchman who was very much in;eI ested in t4Ie reproduction Of the fight but he criticised the four taeath round, which is the most eEeit- ing owing to the knockout blow which ,ZsimmCns delivers. He came to me with 9 device which he perfected Q decrease the natural speed Of the con test, and which he claimed would work satisfactorily.

With this arrangement the re- pr0dUC ion is even beer than the fight itself and every one Of the blows is dis tiuctly seen by the audience.

Cost OF silver.


A distinguished American ass.
known to fame as Edward Atk-
inson, the statisiician. alleges
that 1.-The average cost Of mining
silver all over the world is 25cts.
an ounce" The conclusion Of
this educated idiot is so palpably
absurd as to call forth no argu-
ment In rebuttal. 1t is on'a par
with the weak, driveling state
ments usually made to bolster up
the single standard cause. Il
silver mining was done the world
over by coolies, working for
sow-belly and beans and cheered
up By the hope Of death, freight
and smelter charge would run
the averages much higher than
Atkinson's figures.
The average cost Of mining any
metal must include its extraction
from ores. l. is not silver
u itil it Las been treated. but is
merely crude ore. But if Atkin-
son wishes 10 figure the cost of
merely taking the ore out OF the
ground, on the basis of present
wag s, his figures are no nearer
the t:lti. Possibly this math-
erat:cal genius has figured Silver
wholly as a by-product, charging
up the cost Ct its extraction to
the copper or gold found with it.
But this would not cover silver
mining "all over the world"
Ia Mexico. for instance, lover
wages are paid than in the Unit
Ell States, but more men are re-
quiIed to extract tie same
amount of ore, SO tie great stat
istician gains little il tha direc-
ticn. In countries where low
wages prevail crude appliances
and Inadequate machinery means
the employment OF a hundred
pc cont more men Z an would
D cthe wise require. We are.
therefore. a; loss to discover the
basis upcn Inch Atkinson
makes his figures.
No intelligent man viii v,n-
ture a definite opinion as to the
the average cost of producing
silver, as many conditions en-
viron the WORK OF extraction & e
treatment. In so far as Montana
mines are concerned every ounce
of silver produced, all things
considered. has cost an average
of S1.29. Some mines have pro
duced the metal as a by-product

GIDEON w. MARSH SENTENCED
The Former President of the Wrecked Keystone National Bank of Phiia-
 deiphia Gets twelve Years.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1S. S.-Gideon W. Marsh, former president of the wrecked Keystone national bank, was to-day sentenced by Judge Butler in the United States district court to an i'm. prisonment of 12 years ard three months and to pay a fine of $500 Marsh was charged with conspiracy in making false entries in the books and issuing false reports to the comptroller of the currency. It was thought prob- able that Marsh might, when broupht up for sentence. make statement i'm. plicating others in the wrecking of the bank, but he merely informed the court that his predecessor in the presi- dency of the bank had left a defalca- ton of over Sl,OOO. 900 and that he (Marsh) had never profited s. throu oh the banks losses.
