tory Is Assured.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Tom Sharkey and
Kid Mccoy both profess to be ready and
eager for the contest In the Lenox Athletic
club tomorrow night when they will battle
for $4,000 purse. They completed their
training today, and are as fit as human
hands can make them. The confidence of
each in his ability to triumph over the other
borders on the marvellous Admirers of eth
er man may or may not have their doubts.
Not so with Sharkey and McKoy. Each IS
as calmly confident of victory as if the battle
had already been fought and won. Sound In
wind, quick and scientific, these men should
put uo one of the best contests in the his
tory of pugiHsm. They have youth strength,
agility and science. Where one is weak the
other is strong. Mccoy is the more scien-
tine Sharkey the stronger Of the two In
qulckness there Is little to choose from be-
tween them. In height and reach Mccoy
has the advantage. In sturdiness Sharkey
is more than his match.
Among the betters the bulk of the money
is being placed on Mccoy. The betters ar
que that McCoys cleverness will carry him
safely over every mine that Sharkey may
plant for him, and enable him to ride safely
over the sailor when he is at his stornliest.
The men who stand by Sharkey-and they
are legion-say that the sailor will be on
top Of his man at all stages, and that all he

punch, and that it will decide the contest in
his favor. No man that Sharkey gets going

SILVER In PLAIN SIGHT.
John G. Steel Says 1t Rolls Down the
Hills in the KOOtenaf


On table in the room of John G. Steel
at the Ryan hotel. lie some chunks of Koo-
tenai ore that are worth money. Mr.. Steel
is from SLOGAN. but his special interests are
near little mining town of perhaps 1900
named Sandon. Sandon is not a pretentious
community. 1t has one street and that
hardly wide enough for two teams to pass.
But the street is as wide as 1t could be
built, without abolishing buildings on either
side OF 1t. for 1t lies between two of the
rlchest sflver-bearing mountains that have
yet been discovered, one Silver Mountain
and the other known as Payne mountain
Within sight of Sandon, on the slopes of
these two mountains. are twenty-five or
thirty mines. and there are twenty-four div
fdend payers there 1.-The discovery of this
silver was most romantic" said Mr. Steel
last night "A prospecting crew was follow
ing the recedfng snow line in the spring
They had been out for several weeks with
out much success, until one of them, chanc-
Ing to walk near a moss covered boulder
struck 1t casually with his pick. Its sound
was unusual, and investigation showed that
1t was galena. 1t sold shortly for 81, Co.,
later for $4,000. and when split up realized
$1,000 in silver and lead ores" The pros
pectors traced the boulder to the ledge from
which it had rolled. and now there are
dozen claims on top of the mountain which
are practically in plain sight, as the rains
have washed the everything loose earth from
the ore, deposits and left them practically
from $500 to 81, 900 ton net. New mines are
being opened constantly, and Mr.. Steel who
already has interests in the American Boy
Chetopa and Miller creek claims, had a new
property at the forks of the Kasle and Slo-
railroa, one of the Great Northern feed
ers. which he is developing This is near

of Blows I'm CIinches.

of Blows I'm Clinches
NEW YORK, Jan. 9-Some uneasi-
ness has developed among patrons of
boxing, owing to the attitude assumed
by kid" Mccoy on the question of
hitting In clinches. Mccoy says that,
under clause Is of the articles which
Sharkey and he signed for the fight
tomorrow night, neither can hit while
the other has hold of him, and that
the holding constitutes a clinch Nc
Coy's position Is said to be at vari-
ance with an express understanding
between the two men at the time the
articles were signed, and while agree
ing with the letter of the articles, is
declared to be contrary to their spirit.
The verbal agreement was, 1t Is rep
resented, that a man might hit so long
as both hands were free. That Mccoy
should have raised the issue almost on
the eve of the contest is regarded as
an evidence Of apprehension on his
part that he may not be able to cope
with the eX-marine at all points of the
game. If the article was strictly car
ried out, all a man will have to do
when in a tight place is to place his
hand on the others shoulder, and this
would according to the articles, con-
stitute a clinch.

ginning Last Night.


bright bill was put on for the opening of
the week at the Palm Garden last evening,
and judging from the hearty reception at the
hands of the audience bids fair to fill the
popular concert hall at each performance.
There Is good music, lively songs, graceful
dancing and a trapeze and aerial ring act
that adds much to the performance. The
show opens with farce entitled "A Tramp's
Feast" in which the entire company is cast
Sam Green, as the tramp, enlivens the cur
tain raiser with some good dialect and funny
sayings.
The return of the Wilma sisters, Edith and
Edna, who made a hit at the Palm some
weeks ago, was received with favor. The
young women sing in an accomplished man
ner. duets and solos, Miss Edna essaying
sentimental ballads, while Miss Edith renders
up-to-date coon songs In manner peculiarly
her own. Miss Grace Gilmore is playing her
farewell engagement. The petite young
woman has a pleasing voice and a manner
that makes her strong favorite with the
audience. De Forest and WILDER are holding
over from last week, but render new songs as
effectively as heretofore, insuring genuine en-
tertainment while they are on the stage VIII
Malcolm and Bessie Malcolm do clever char
acter sketch and sing we'll. The work of
Richard Leonis and Maggie Leonis on the
rings is one Of the best things on the bill,
while the Van brothers, in comic musical
sketch, also make decided hit with their
versatile musical talent.
