pany's dredger on Grasslooper creek, in
Beaverhead county, talked interestingly
OF dredging last night ar the Cullen
There are-now four dredgers on Grass
hopper creek. said he and they are
making money: They can pay expenses
when the earth pays cents per cubic
yard, but we are getting from 10 to 81
cents per yard. The dredging is thus very
successful. Inc creek bottom is from
seventy-five to 800 feet wide. but of course
the paying ground does not extend over
that area; in some places the streak is
not more than twenty feet wide and il
hes upon the bedrock or in the few feet
OF edrth Just above bedrock. We use the
dredger with an endless chain of buckets
made of very heavy steel. so that they
can scrape the bedrock very clean. The
Gains which are patented extend ten
miles in length.

G. w. Strother of Denver. who is at the
knutsford. said last night that pugilism
promised for some time to be an influx of
nrst-cR ss fighters and many encounters
which would have made Denver the
sporting center of the country. But for
some reason the people failed to attend
the hgnts in large enough numbers to
make them profitable There has been
practically no contest of any note since
the Ruhlin-Ste;zner go.
mere has been a somewhat bitter
squabble between Otto c. Flotow and Bar
