Shaughnessy and his father were taken

Erne Will Not Fight Under the Aus
pices of the OLYMPIC Club.

The patrons of fstic sports in this
city were somewhat surprised yester-
day on reading a report from some ir-
responsible Eastern correspondent that
Frank Erne was journeying to this city
ostensibly for the purpose of meeting
Dial" Hawkins in a twenty-round con-
test under the auspices of the Olympic
Club.
The leader of the club, John Ham
mersmith, stated yesterday that pro-
fessional contest of this kind has never
been taken under consideration, and
furthermore, the Olympic Club does not
propose to give any high-class profess
SIGNAL boxing events in future.
Consequently the HaWkins-Erne pro-
posed twenty round contest will have
to be decided under the auspices of
some club unknown to the general
public.
It was whispered around last even
ing that one Ellinghouse, who has been
slightly interested In the past in affairs
pugilistic which had a rather unsav-
DRY reputation, was somewhat mixed
up in the Erne and Hawkins f1stic pie,
and that under his management the
proposed fake" would be introduced.

was passing down an alley with his wife.

ED. MESSENGER -
This place is quiet. yet there
is great deal of business tran
sacted here, and perhaps this is
the busiest section of Custer
county. although it would prob
ably not appear so to the travel
er or stranger. There are 80
men at work at the copper mine
at Cliff. The smelter has been
put in repair and will begin pro-
ducing bullion in few days.
Cue. Gilbert & Carr are driv-
ing a tunnel on a very promising
copper ledge at the head of Rio
Grande Gulch. They are now in
20 feet.
Reed & Davidson, of Copper
Basin, are preparing to ship two
cars of high grade copper ore
from their mines, via. Ketchum.
Dave Taylor located a copper
property on Lake creek a short
time ago, and a few days later
bonded a ! interest to Mr.. Wayne
Darlington for S., 900.
E. J. Schermerhorn came in
last night from the line of Blaine
county, where he has located and
lis opening some fine copper
claims. We believe the section
between Houston and the Blaine
county line will soon be the big
gest mineral producing sectior
