CAVALIER N PEON.
Both Consider Cock Fighting q Most
Interesting Sport.
Down In Mexico Game Biras Are
Groomed and Dfeted with Par
tfcular Care-Fortunss Won saa
Lost on battles Royal.

In Mexico cock fights are commonly
termed los gallos, just as bull fights
are called los toros; and at all the
popular fiestas they are only second in
favor to the latter. A good game cock
often costs as much as a horse, but
this is not saying much, as a fair sad
die pony is frequently sold for SIS, Oh
even less; while a game cock may
bring $50. and occasionally 500. The
usual price paid. however, is from $12
to SIS, according to weight, breed and
past record of the strain as fighters.
The best cocks come from the United
States, and hundreds are shipped into
Mexico during the year, being in con-
slant demand during the ~f1estas, which
are always in progress in one part or
another. There are also many cocks
bred there, the hens being largely
Japanese. The cocks are cared for by
trainers, who feed, clean and exercise
them as regularly as a jockey does q
running horse. Their house is in real
ity a stable. each cock having his own
stall, with his name above it, as El
Garrean THE Sparrow. Chato (Snub
Nose), Tesorero (Treasurer), Moreno
Brunei, Tirante (Tyrant), Cato
(Cat) and so on. A champion is called
"El Mauser." In these little stalls the
cocks eat. drink and sleep. being
fastened by a cord to a ring in the
floor. Every morning they are taken
out for a run. one at a time. and each
has half an hour in the dirt box, to roll
and lust himself.
When not fighting they are fed once
a day, about shutdown, when they have
all the wet corn they ear eat. in indi-
vidual pans, set in the stalls. They are
then watered. and the inner rooster
being satisfied each cuddles down in
his stall and goes to sleep. Their
spurs have been cut for their COM
fort in sleeping. and to prevent their
hurting themselves.
In trimming the combs a curious
custom prevails. The piece cut of is

The Tonapah Bonanza makes the
following statement regarding the
mines OF that district:
The doubt and uncertainty as to the
value of the Tonapah mines may be
said to be q thing Of the past. Facts
speak louder than theories, and the
fact Of the production OF thousands OF
dollars of high grade ore every twenty
four hours, the shipment OF the same
10 smelter and the circulation OF the
proceeds, which is the putting OF new
blood into all this part OF the state,
needs no explanation or comment,
but on the other hand, however, the
manner Of occurrence Of the ore bodies
which produce these values is q ques-
ton which is still open to speculation.
OF course eventually all these things
will be finally determined. At present
the most plausible theory, and the
one which seems to be best supported
BY the facts which We have at hand, is
that the lodges contain chutes OF high
grade ore, of greater or lesser length,
which dip to the east.
1t must not be inferred, however, by
the reader who is unscquainted with
the Tonapah district that these chutes
contain all Of the gold ore and that
the intervening spaces are barren.
The chutes referred to carry ore oil the
value of from $3.50 to $500 and up
wards per ton, and it is these chutes
that gladden. the heart OF the leaser
and are making fortunes for 80 many
Of them. But in between these chutes
along the various lodges occurs what
is termed in Tonapah as poor ore.
that is to say, ore that carries a value
of only from $50 to $75 per ton, and
which cannot be worked by the leaser,
with profit under present conditions.

A joint wagon is being made at st.

Jack Webster, a refugee ~jointist from

Richard j. Garvey, president Of the

with dynamite Webster will be safe.
The wagon has not been weighed yet,

something admirable in the general
department of the fighting cock, and
he seldom knows when he il licked"
Some cocks go through five and six
battles, their wounds being clean-cut
and easily healed OF this account.
Los gallos are usually held in a small
plaza. surrounded by seats, like a
miniature bull ring. An orchestra dis
penses lively music, while a peon
stands in the ring and shouts at the
top of his lungs, announcing the next
event, and urging the spectators to
place their bets-in any amount from
rs cents to 500. or even more. Heavy
players stake - high IS $1,000 ON q
single fight.
All this means. too, that in Mexico
are many men who make a life bust
ness of cock fighting. 1t makes a
queer sight when these cock fighters
transport their birds from one place
to another. The birds are carried in
c~one-shaped baskets. several of them,
n above another. The particularly
odd feature of it is that only the dandy
tails of the ROSTERS show. AS the
fighter carries along his burden of
several cocks the gaudy tails dance up
and down. making a very singular
sight.
Among the men who follow the
cock-fghting business are some who
have lost fortunes at the sport. but re-
fuse to abandon it. 1t is not unusual
to see women at cock fights in Mexico,
and they bet their money as freely as
men. At these fights an orchestra
plays. and people eat. smoke, gossip
and drink with more vigor than they

q discovery shaft upon the claim located to
the depth of at least ten feet from the low
est part of the rim of such shaft at the sur
face, or deeper if necessary, to show by
such work a lode deposit of mineral in
place. A cut or crosscut, or tunnel, which
cuts the lode at q depth of ten feet. or an
open cut along the ledge or lode equiva-
ent in size to a shaft four feet by six feet by
ten feet deep, is equivalent to q discovery
shaft. The locator must define the boun-

feet six inches in length, set one foot in the
ground, with o mound of stone or earth
four feet in diameter by two feet in height

cipitous ground. to sink such posts, they
may be placed in . pile of stones; or
where the proper placing Of such posts or
monuments of stone is impracticable or
dangerous to life and limb, it shall be law
full to place such post or monument OF
stone at the nearest point, properly marked
to designate its right place. When a stone
is used. not a rock in place, II must be at
least six inches square and eighteen inches
in length. set two-thirds of It's length in
the ground, which trees, stakes or monu-
ments must be so marked as to designate

BOILER IRON SALOON

similar wagons if Webster is success
full in defying the crusaders.
In the rear end of the boiler-iron
joint there is a huge door, with fas-
Jennings inside. 1t cannot be opened
from the outside except with a key.
Inside there are seats for a dozen
persons, with cushions on them, and
across the center there is a small bar.
Behind the bar there is room for two
or three kegs of beer and a good sup
ply of whisky.
Webster will have the wagon painted
to resemble weatherboard covering
and there will be a surprise in store
for the first crusader to strike it with
a hatchet. 1t is not his intention to
entertain many of his customers in
side the boiler-iron joint, but to serve
the most of them through the port
holes on the sides and al the ends.
In the front end of the boiler-iron
room and behind the bar there is a
trap door in the floor, which Webster
says will be used to open into an under
ground passage when he locates the
joint in Florence. He owns a lot there
on which he intends to locate the joint.
The underground passage has already
been constructed and leads to a stable
on his premises.
