SharkeI and Rubin.

Two hard-hitting pugilists with hea-
vy-weight championship aspirations,
will battle for the supremacy and so
per cent of the gross receipts at Che
Seaside Sporting club at New York to-
night. They are Tom Sharkey and
Gus Ruhlir.
Sharkey has beaten all the celebrated
boxers except Jeffries. but he Is the
only big man who has been able to last
25 rounds before the boilermaker since
the latter won the championship from
Fitzsimmons. Sharssy also has VIC
tory over Rubin in one round two
years ago.
While Sharkey has not gone back, by
any means, Rubin has improved con-
siderably. At the time he fought the
sailor he only had very crude ideas of
the rudiments of sparring; now he is
regarded by such an authority as Cor
bett as clever boxer. In the matter
of science, he clearly outclasses Shar-
key. but In punching power and ag-
gressiveness the man n-of-warsman Is
the superior OF the Akron giant.
Sporting men freely admit that Rub
lin has improved. yet they cannot re-
gard him as the winner. This is due
very largely to Sharkeys wonderful
boring-in tactics, which seem almost
irresistible, and his well known ability
to strike powerful blow. So the
sailor is favorite at odds of 10 to Z.
Rubin xill have a decided advan-
tage over Sharkey in height and reach.
He is at least three inches taller than
the sailor. If both men employ their
usual tactics. Knockout should be wit
messed inside OF Is rounds.
Rubin will enter the ring weighing

about five pounds less.

PUGILIsM is A BUSINESS.

'Pugilism is a business. and II should
be conducted in a methodical and busi-
ness-like manner. The position fighters
occupy in the sporting world is much
akin to that occupied by the solid mon-
ey men in financial circles. without
first obtaining public confidence the
fighters can accomplish nothing. With
out first obtaining the confidence OF
business men financiers can achieve
nothing.
IF II is impossible for financier to
achieve success unless every safeguard
Is thrown around the interests of his
clients. how much more impossible is it
for fighter TO advance I'm the scale or
public confidence unless the public
which patronizes this class OF sport Is
convinced that its interests are fully
protected. The fighter owes II to him
self. to his own interests to the sport
Nom which he is seeking 70 draw sus-
tenance. 10 offer no objection when
plans are hatched for the advancement
and protection of pugilism."

 Regarding the limiting of placer claims the committee has this to say: "The placer mining law now In force in Alaska is the same that is in force in the states and territories, but in the other localities the abuses of the privilege of locating claims without limit has been mlnlm- lzed.

 "The abuse is not local to Alaska, but with long seasons to work in, the regula- tion by miners meeting, organized in places so conditioned, fixes the assessment so as to prevent the abuse from becoming so very serious, but in Alaska the neees'

MEAT MEN IN DAWSON
Miller and Others Get fin With
 Heavy Loads of Beef.

Heavy shipments of meat recently began to arrive in Dawson from the coast. A part of H. F. Mlller's big expedition got there March IT. He had the meat of I4o cattle which he drove from Bennett to SeI- kirk. Al the latter place he killed the cattle and took half of the dressed meat forward with 2s sleds drawn by 90 horses. The other half will soon be taken on to Dawson. Mr. MeNamara got to Dawson four days before Miller with rco quarters of beef.
 Other large quantities of meat were on the trail up the river from Dawson March I2. The price of meat In Dawson was then 30 cents pound. MT. Miller intend cd to retail his meat'direet to the consumer and not to lower the price. Some predlet> ed lower prices soon and some thought the quotations would remain as they were.

BEATS ALI RECORDS
 OUT FROM DAWSON
Mrs. MahOney Entitled to the
 Medal for Speed.
RACED WITH A BICYCLE
She Stayed in the Dog Sled Most of tho Time, Doing Her Eating and Sleeping in It-Exhausted Whom She Arrived in Skagway.

Mrs, Mahoney, wife of one of the man. agers of the North American Trading & Transportation Company in Dawson, came in on the evening train yesterday with the best record that has vet been made from Dawson. She went straight from the train to the steamer Clutch, whi,h, un- fortunately. was not scheduled to leave until nearly twelve hours later. Other wise this trip would have been the most marvellous in point of speed that has yet been made from the Klondike capital 10 the Sound.
 As it Is, Mrs. Mahonev carries with her the crack record from Dawson to Bennett. In yesterday mornings DAILY ALASKAN the surprisingly good time of the best trip of the mail carriers was stated at { days, z3H hours. Mrs. Mihonev beat this rec ord by three and halt hours. She start ed out of Dawson at 4:4o D. m. on the roth and she registered her name at the Pacific hotel, Bennett, at I:Io on the 24th. In other words, her time from Dawson to Bennett was exactly days, 20 hours.
 On the morning of the 10th Yrs. Ma honey received a telegraphic dispatch from Minneapolis that her mother was danger ously sick. That she could in So short a time make all the arrangements for so long a journey and could come out Tn such speed Is credit to the transportation facilities of the interior and to the excellent state of the trail.
 On her way out Mrs. Mahoney passed H. C. Croffot, who was coming out on a bicycle. Mrs. Mahonev was on one of the sleighs of the Canadian Development Company that was carrying out the mail. These mail carriers travel day and night, having relays of dogs about every thirty miles, and relavs of men also. To large extent, Mrs. MahOney lived in the com. fortable fur lined and fur covered sled all the way from Dawson 10 Bennett. She did all of her sleeping in this sled and some of her eating also.
 Mr. Croffot, on the contrary, came out alone on his bike, and he managed to make the trip in five days actual travellng, and seven days elapsed time. The two days were spent with some friends on the Hootalinqua whom Mr. Crofot chaneed to meet. and who had been his partners when he tolled over the White Pass trail in the miry days of 'o7. But five days on bicycle as compared with four days and twenty hours with reilvs of dogs and men Is splendid record,
 When she arrived here yesterday after noon Mrs. Mahonev was, In the language of her Canadian dog team driver, "eom- pletely played out" She Is woman of about 2S years of age with many preten- tlons to physical beauty, and she hurried on to the boat and into her state room with the exclamation that "she was just to horrld to see anybody"
 When she sets back to Dawson next month the Canadian officials will in all probability present her with a handsome medal commemorative of the fastest trip that has ever been made from the kondlke capital."

Report of the House Commit
 tee on the Subject.
ALASKA MINING ABUSES
Great Complaint has Reached Wash ington of tho Abuses of Powor of Attorney to Tic Up Whole Creeits and Prevent Development.

The bills relating to Alaska which have been fayorably reported bv the house conn mitTee or public la1ds are;
 House bill o2o5, to prohibit the location of mining claims by power Of attorney in the District of Alaska; house bill oIoI. to extend the timber and stone acts to the District of Alaska; house bill o2o6, to amend the homestead laws of the District of Alaska; house bill o2oO, to extend the system of public surveys to the District of Alaska; house bill o7o4, to limit placer mining claims In the District of Alaska.
 House bill o2oa has an explanation of its provisions In a report by the committee, which says:
 "Great complaint comes from Alaska of the abuse of the use of powers of attorney, for location of mining claims. The same criticism has occurred in other states and territories; but where the season of work Is long, miners meetings have been able to provide suitable rules as to the amount of work to be done, so as to compel lOeat. Ors to expend money on their claims or else abandon them.
 "Undsr the general law in the absence of such legislation. an entire creek or guleh can be tied up from work by the pow CTS of attorney. This method results in the holding of large areas for speculative purposes, without work, for a year or more after the location Is filed. In a coun- try where the period of actual work Is so limited by the severity of the climate,
