Baltimore, Dec 3o.-Jack Ward, the cx-
champion bantam puglist, who has, be-
sides fighting for living, done a thrifty
shoe trade at Highland, Md,
with resulting bank account of five hg-
ures, defends the boxing game. lac says
Il have been boxing about eight years.
In that time have had about 100 contests.
and five times | fought for the champion
ship of the world in my class, SO you see
! ought to know what harm or good it does
man to be a boxer Out OF all the 100 or
more fights have had. only twice have |
received black eye. That is all the harm
boxing has done me.
Now, | will tell you what good it has
done me. When | was 10 years old |
weighed only 8 pounds | was very thin
and in delicate health, and the doctors or
dered me to take cod liver oil. This did
for about year and it never seemed to do
me any good, Some physicians said | had
consumption and told me to take exercise.
u then started to box, and will tell
you there is nothing better in the world to
make one healthy and strong than to 20

match You build your system up so that
it takes a great deal to break it down.
Il have never been sick day since /
started boxing When man starts to be-
come boxer he gives up lots Of bad hab-
its, such as smoking, chewing, staying out
late at nights and drinking too much. OF
course few drink little too much at
times, but there are many more besides
boxers who do that.
Il would Ike to see the bouts limited to
10 rounds, because a man with very lit
the training can go 10 rounds and keep
strong and clever. Many times two men
will be matched for 90 rounds. One will
be trained well enough to the 20 rounds
and the other will not They go along for
about 10 rounds and the one that is not
trained enough gets weak and cannot de-
fend himself 1t is then that he begins to

BLACK DIAMOND
COAL ALL RIGHT
SAID THAT A SOLID VEIN OF WHAT
is KNOWN AS CANDLE COAL
HAS BEEN DISCOVERED.
SPECIAL TO the INTER MOUNTAIN.

Anaconda, Dec. GIT is reported that
the work now being done in the Black
Diamond coal mine. which is situated Just
across the creek from this city. has dis
closed vein OF what is known as can
die" coal
1t is said that the vein is more than
four feet in width and that it is all solid
coal So far the development has not
been sufficient to determine tie extent or
value of it, although tn. ccal experts are
firmly of the belief that the most valuable
coal lands III Montana. or in the West
anywhere, are right at Anaconda's door.
For many years it has been known that
coal was to be found on Lost creek aud
along the mountain ranges on either side
OF the Deer Lodge valley. hut for some
reason no one ever thought that any of
the veins were worth prospecting. 1t is
only of very recent date that any one
had thought there was coal mine
or coal at all in or near Anaconda This
discovery is a surprise to all, aud rs the
coal is Of such high grade the owners OF
the property and citizens generally are
jubilant and feel that it may be the means
OF making great city here.
The Black Diamond Coal company il
organized under the laws of the state of
Montana and il is oiicercd by citizens of
this city, who realized the possibilities
should they succeed in finding a mine.

GRANITE COUNTY
PEOPLE EXCITED
MEAN TO FIGHT A SCHEME TO MAKE
ANY CHANGE IN THE COUNTY
LINES AS THEY ARE.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

Anaconda, Dec. 3I-One of Granite
county's citizens was in town today and
when spoken to in regard to the proposed
change in county lines became very indig-
nant. "The people of Granite county have
the Inter Mountain to thank for exposing
the scheme said he. I'VE have recently
learned that it was the intention to keep
the whole plot secret until after the
legislature was thoroughly organized and
tnen present the necessary bill and push
it through as soon as possible.
When the story was first printed in
the Inter Mountain many of our people
said that il was a dream and made light
of the matter, but in recent days it has
been discovered that all of the pre-
liminaries had been arranged and that
there really was wel-organized plot to
eliminate Granite county, dividing it up
between Powell and Deer Lodge counties.
Was All Figured Out.
Some of the long headed schemers had
it all figured out that after the thing had
been accomplished ii would be an easy
matter to move the county seat from Deer
Lodge to Drummond. but that it would
not be well to say anything about that
as it would make the people who live III
the town of Deer Lodge wary, and they
would oppose the bill. 1t was pointed out
that the additional territory and the large
increase in taxable property that would
be added to Powell cou lty would appeal
to the cupidity of the Deer Lodgers and
they would therefore favor the measure
Later on the county seat question could he
brought Up and settled. Drummond
would have an easy victory.
Now that we have had warning and
have, almost accidentally might say, dis
covered that the warning was true and
timely, Granite county citizens will be
and are prepared to meet and combat the
danger. In fact, now that the whole
matter has been exposed | am inclined
to the belief that we will hear no more
of it.
'The talk that Granite county is in
bad financial way is all nonsense.
know what / am talking about when |
say that it is in much better financial
standing than several other and older
counties in Montana.
They Were All Right
at is true that many mistakes have been
made since the creation Of the county. 1t
Is also true that we have had many
criminal trials that have been very eX-.
pensive, notably the II, ntcr case, but we
are still issuing warrants and selling them
at 100 cents on the dollar. and, while
taxes are pretty high, they will from now
on be gradually reduced and we have
nothing . fear, except possibly our covet-
Gus neighbors.
Granite county is unquestionably one
OF the greatest mineral producing coun-
ties in Montana II is one vast mineral
zone and except for a very small area
has not been prospectcd at any depth.
