WILL NOT BUILD
FEDERAL SMELTER WILL NOT
NOW ESIARlISn A PLANT
Company Holds Six Months Gen.
tract With the Kansas City
Smelfer and Notbino Viii Be
Done Until 1t Expi:es

| George M. Jacocks. president of the
Federal Copper company. arrived here
this morning and made the announce
ment that the proposed plant for this
| company would not be built, at the
present at least.
| When seen by a Herald reporter this
morning Mr.. Jacocks said: I'VE in
| tended to build and had everything
ready to begin work but the Ell Paso
smelter came to us with a proposition
that we could not afford to reject and
we accepted it. This is our scheme for
the present at least
Mr.. Jacocks said that he had made a
contract with the FL Paso smelter for
| six months only. this time which may
mean that when the contract expires
his company will take up another prop
osition again.
AT the time when the. Guggenheims
met here with the Kansas City Of
ficials of this company the press of Ell
Paso told of the combination and the
raise in the charges for treating ore
1t was then predicted by mining men
that smelter charges would be raised
TO where small mines could make but
little profit and that the large ones
would be able to make contracts cheap
enough TO prevent movement for an
other plant. Their prediction has, it
seems. come true.
While Mr.. Jacocks will have little to
say on the subject. it is said that he
has only accepted the offer made by the
FL Paso smelter temporarily and is
putting in his time buying new mines
In order TO have sufficient ore to keep
his plant running when completed, and
even now he is making all prepara-
tions to erect his plant
Several mining men and other cap
italists learned of Mr.. Jacocks' dec
laration this morning and We're inclin-
ed to discredit it. They think that the
company is going to build.
&. p. Eddy, of the White Oaks road,
says that he is confident that the Fed
eral company will build. and that is as
soon as the material can be put on the
ground.
The idea seems to prevail because of
the fact that the company is now buy
ing mines and making contracts for all
the ore il can secure. 1t is believed
smelter was made as blind so that
they would not interfere with the plans
of the Federal company

tion and is an Old Style Demo

Richard B. Hubbard. former COVER

the city last night and will lecture
under the auspices of the w. o. w.
here tonight.
Governor Hubbard has been one of
the nations leading characters for
thirty years and few people in the Uni
ted States nave not heard him speak
or known of his career. He WAS the
man who nominated Grover Cleveland
for the presidency at St Louis when
he made his first race and was after
wards appointed minister TO Japan un-
der CleveIand's administration. The
governor is not one of the new style
democrats and when Organism took
possession OF the country he retired
from politics with a good bye to the
democratic party.
II am not in the interview business
now" said the governor when queried
by q Herald reporter this morning.
''and I cannot give you what you want.
have retired from politics and have
nothing to say about the way the par
ties are managed. You know ! am not
in line with the new party and il would
not become me 10 take much interest
in it,
Gov. Hubbard stands with Reagan
on the expansion question. He doesn't
enumerate the things he opposes in the
recent democratic platform. When he
was minister tn Japan he travelled all
over the orient and when he returned
a reporter now on The Herald heard
him tell OF the advantages of trade
relations with that country. He has
never changed his views.
The governor will leave on the Tex
as & Pacific tomorrow for Midland.
where he lectures tomorrow night.

for we are getting our cattle above

have no ticks whatever.
Mr.. Farr said he was not prepared to
state that the New Mexico live stock
sanitary board had any selfish purpose
in putting on the quarantine but said
it looked very much that way. He says
the cattlemen of the territory have
raised no objections. so far as he
knows to Texas cattle coming into the
territory and thinks there is very lit
tie danger of ticky cattle being brought
in there.
I'VE get better cattle from Texas
than we can get anywhere else said
he. land will continue to get them as

proposition of last night, offering 60
per cent. of the gross receipts of the
club, while Julian still offered CT per
cent. in behalf of the West Chester
Athletic Club.
O'Rourke tried to show that so per
cent. at the Seaside Athletic Club was
better than 81 per cent. at Tuckahoe.
He claimed that the seating capacity
of the Seaside Athletic Club was the
greater. Julian said he was familiar
with the Seaside Athletic Club and
could accommodate as many. if not
more, patrons than the former organi-
cation.
On behalf of the West Chester club
Julian offered SO per cent. of what
might be received from the picture
privilege. O'Rourke did not make any
offer on that line.
At 100 p. m, Fitzsimmons rose and
said that as Sharkey had not appeared
with his forfeit the fight was off.
Julian then said that the offer of his
club stood good with Fitzsimmons and
any other man he might select, who
would agree to fight him. Fitz-
simmons said that was acceptable
to him and that he would select Kid
Mccoy. The party then broke up,
Fitzsimmons, Julian. Al. Smith and
George Tucker adjourning to McCoy's
cafe.
When Mccoy heard the proposition
he said he was agreeable and Fitzsim-
mons and he agreed to meet at Nc
Coy's place at noon next Saturday.

Tom MOores and Colts Failed to
Come to Terms.
The match series of games between
the Tom Moore and Colts has been de-
clared off because of the failure of the
two teams to agree upon conditions to
govern the contests.
The original agreement was a wager
of $40 to $50, the Moores putting up
the former amount, INT Mr.. Dan Bow
lin the latter on behalf of the Colts.
Tho first series of games was to be
rolled on the Musee alleys and the
second ON Fette's. and in case of tie
the decisive game to be rolled at the
conclusion of the second series on
Fette's alleys. Both sides posted for
felt money, and as a result of the dis
agreement last night, Mr.. Bowlin loses
his forfeit.
The Colts insisted upon new on
ditions. They proposed to allow aggre-
gate pins to determine the result in
case of a tie, instead of rolling an
other game. They also objected to the
use of new pins, on the ground that
their members lack the speed of the
M~oore's, and well directed slow balls
are more effective against old pins
than against new ones.

of boxing concerning the exhibition of
the moving pictures of the famous
Jeffries-Sharkey fight, which are to be
given at the Opera House Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, with daily
matinees commencing Tuesday. These
are the genuine fight pictures, said to
be the most realistic views ever taken
of any pugilistic contest. Several con-
troversies have resulted from this
battle, one concerning the merit of the
decision in favor of Jeffries, so that
lovers of the game will welcome the
opportunity to settle these questions
for themselves.

Last night at Benwood a big cock
ing main was pulled off at a we'll
known place on Water street, and at
tracted quite a large number of the
sporting fraternity from various
points. The main, consisting of nine
fights, was started at nine o'clock and
at two o'clock this morning it was
reported that Benwood was in the lead,
and that the fighting would probably
continue until daylight. The birds
that were pitted against each other
were from the industrial town, Wheel
ing and Bellaire and a considerable
amount of interest was manifested
generally in the results. The betting
was quite lively and much money is
known to have changed hands on the
contests.
