the successful boxer there can be no doubt, judging from the fat bank ac- counts possessed by the big heavy weights and some of the small fstic stars. Although many of the modern champions have acquired thousands of dollars by the use of their brawny arms, probably none has been so for tunate as the present champion heavy weight, Jerffies, in putting away for tune for a rainy day. It is estimated that the big boilermaker is worth at least $100.000 in his own name. He
 has not made this big sum in purses alone, but has added to his prize fight winnings by lucky deals in oil fields at his home in Los Angeles and in the
 stock market. An intimate friend of the champions, speaking about the
 success of Jerffies as a boxer, said that
 he had seen the big fellows bank ac- count for $92,000. Unlike other great | fighters that won their money in punches, Jeffries has showed the sense | to put it away and he announces that he is now Independent. Jeffries five years ago was practically unknown,
 working away on riyets in big boiler l factory for paltry salary. But the then plain boilermaker. was building up fortune in his muscles, which after ward enabled him to capture the cham pionship as well as the money that
 goes with such an honor.
 l James J. Corbett, although out of pugilism, is still earning big money as
 monologue artist and has a goodly
 sum invested in gilt-edged securities.
 He enjoys all the pleasures of life that | r1nnQv 6an cna11ra for. man
 Terry McGovern Is another wise one, but the little featherweight has been so busy making money that he really
 hasn't had time to dig into his bank
 account to any extent. Up to his de-
 feat by Young Corbett he went along
 the line of aspirant featherweights and always came out with the big end of l the purse.
 1 Of the many great fighters that were
 knocked out by their own success and ] the plentiful use of money, George Dixon. the colored demon, and John | l.. Sullivan are probably the most con- l spicuous. They are in extreme classes of pugilism, but in the same class as 1 the man financially embarrassed. Or
 dinarily this would not be strange, but
 when it is considered what these two
 ex-champions have gone through. it should and evidently has proved a good
 lesson for those who follow.
 Dixon made and lost several for
 tunes as well as the championship and to-day he does not own dollar and is
 ready to take on an opponent for what
 ever there is in it.
 Sullivan's money spending feat has
 probably never been equalled He is
 said to have through at least million
 dollars. He has been q good fellow to
 all and even at this stage he cannot
 hold the few dollars that come to him
 for support.
 1 Ut is all right to be good fellow \ says Jeffries, ''but see that you are a
 good fellow to yourself first"

BASKETBALL GAMES.

Notwithstanding the indictment weather over POO persons witnessed the basketball games at the r. NJ. c. A. gymnasium on Saturday night. The Stars gave the Monitors hard rub, but the latter won by the score of 25-19 The Monitors were minus two of their regular players, but neverthe- less played good game. H. Cook had his leg severely hurt during the game but pludlily continued to play Curtis, Cook and Sanderson played a nice game. The Eagles had an easy time with the Normans, winning by the score of 34-16. Reeves, Kenealey, Chapman and Hannegan. excelled ill good playing. The last game was one of the best and most interesting which has been played at the gym in some time The Business Men and the Lob sters were the opponents. The play was fast and somewhat rough. Um- pire Clapp must have had his eyes shut or he would have called number of fouls on Minor and Fitzsimmons of the Business Men for holding. The former was playing against Captain McKeon and they had a battle royal. The playing of both was of star na- ture. Margraff, who was knocked out for several minutes during the second half, also played a clever game. The first half ended with the score 7-3 and the second half 15-10 in favor of the Business Men. Joe Danaher, as usual,
 made good referee.
 Only five more games remain to be played in the Y. M. c. A. Basketball league. The Business Men are still ahead, still maintaining their lead of one game over the Monitors. Either of these teams will win the pennant. On next Saturday night there will be battle royal when the two teams meet. Much will depend upon the re- suit of that game. If the Business Men win, well, the pennant will in all probability be theirs, but If the Moni- tors are victorious then they will have something to say in regard to the pen nant. The standing of the league is ao fo110WS.

GOLF IN THE SOUTH.

 for Spring Campaign.

rem, LOW ana Nichols In Good shape
 for Spring Campaign.
 Palm Beach, Fla, March 1O.-Under the shade of the sheltering palms, with the thermometer in the neigh borhood of 70, it is hard to realize the stories newcomers from the north bring of blizzards,. snow storms, sleet and rain. To anyone who has played golf in the winter in the north, with frozen links, red balls and snow rules our balmy climate and rolling, sandy links are revelation.
 Between golfng and swimming in the pool made famous by Lady Mac kenzie, to say nothing of the delights of cycling, fishing for pompano or tar pon, or riding in jinrikishas or wheel ed gondolas, our northern visitors manage to fill up their time quite com fortably.
 Golf, as might be expected, draws by far the largest crowd, and the real ly fine links here are crowded from morning until night by hundreds of followers of the royal and ancient Scottish game.
 George Low, the crack Dyker Heights professional from Brooklyn; Bernard Nichols, the Boston expert, who, by the way, was the only Amer ican golfer to beat Harry Vardon on even terms, and A. H. Fenn have played many exciting games here this season, and as they have had many pupils they have passed a pleasant and profitable winter, and are in fine condition for the coming summer campaign.

WITH TEE NREsTLERs.
Wittmer and Tuohey Will Arrive To-
 Morrow.


 Buffalo, N. Y., March 9.-"Hotspur,'' Y the sporting critic of the Enquirer, spent several hours at Wittmer's s training quarters at Block Rock Sat urday afternoon, and over his own signature says:
 'The big Cincinnati man moves with surprising ease and grace for a man of his tremendous physique, and in his workouts with five different men he showed that he was as fast as any of the big fellows who have been seen on the mat here in years. All though his best style is Graeco- Roman he showed that he is familiar with catch as catch can and he is fast learning how to use his feet, some thing at which he has been lacking in his matches in the past. He has been devoting considerable time to this style of wrestling in the past and according to reports from cities in which he has appeared at that style, he is capable of giving the best of them a hard run to beat him. Witt mer is big, massive fellow, with broad shoulders, short, chunky neck and pair of arms that resemble tel egraph poles He is undoubtedly the
 
 Ter now before the public. and the fact that not wrestler of note in this country will take a chance with him in a straight Graeco-R Roman match speaks volumes for his ability at that style. Wittmer has never lost a fall at Graeco-Roman only that stolen from him by an incompetent or dis honest referee at Cleveland and even 0d 11nf T when he was awarded the fall. The fact that Dan has repeatedly declined to meet Wittmer in finish contest at Graeco-Roman indicates that he ap- preciates that the big German is his master at that style.''
 Wittmer leaves here for Waterbury on Tuesday next and will go from there .o Worcester, Mass, where he expects to meet Lundin in a mixed style match in the latter part of this month.
 Later Tuohey wrote: Wittmer and myself will try to arrive in Water bury early on Tuesday morning, if we can make connections here after the match on Monday night. If we cannot get away then we will start as early Tuesday morning as we can. We will SO HlA CSI " WdleIUuEy IFOIu u0re, ln- stead of going by way of New York. l W1ttmer is ill great shape just now and has been working with a good Cornish wrestler in order to get ac- quainted with the hooks and crooks and other tricks incident to that branch of the wrestling game I have received several offers for the contest between Dwyer and Wittmer, but pre- fer to wait until arrive before I close any deals, as I want to study the ground well. Charley was tickled to death when he learned that Dwyer had given him chance for a return match. He felt worse over the loss of that match than anything I can call to mind, and now that he is to get q chance to redeem himself he is work ing like q Trojan and will certainly be faster in the next match than he was 1 i'll the previous contest. He is work ing every day with big Mort Hender- son, the Rochester ssButcher Boy" and as the latter is big, husky fellow, fast as a bullet and tricky as can be, Charley will naturally show faster, as he was about stale owing to lack of wrestling work when he was in your | city last

WHITE OAKS MINE.
That Portion OF Kew Mexico Is Doing
Well at Present.

The development of the mining re-
sources of Lincoln county since the ad.
vent of the Rock Island has been little
short of a revelation. Consolidation is
now the order of the Cay. The famous
Old Abe mine at White Oaks. the
South Homestake. near the same
place. the Helen Rae, at Nogal, and
the big Parsons group, on the Bonita.
have been secured by the wealthy
Eagle Mining & Development COM
pany, made up of Chicago and Iowa
capitalists. An immense electric plant
Is t be installed at White Oaks, and
power and light for all the mines will
be furnished. Work is being done by
the company on the four properties,
and in each case satisfactory returns
are being produced.
Splendid results are now being Sc
cured from the American mine at No.
gal. The miners are 10Y at work in. a
large body of ore, which averages 500
to the ton. Wire gold occurs plenti-
fully, and several pockets of almost
pure gold have been found.
In the Jicarilla district great activity
is shown, and in every mining district
of the county new mines are being de-
veloped and old ones r%eopened. People
are pouring into the railroad towns.
No part of the territory is making as
rapid a growth as this county.
Paralleling the line of the FL Paso &
Rock Island railroad for a score of
miles is the largest body of gypsum in
the world. 1t Is in the form of pow
dered sand, of snowy wilderness, which
shifts in dunes and valleys before the
heavy winds of the region. The White
Sands" as they are called. have been
much talked about, hut no practical
use has ever been made OF the de-
posits. But with the coming of the
Rock Island the wealth contained in
the snowy hills is to be utilized. At
the little station of Ancho an i'm
mense cement plant is now being in.
stalled. The product will be prepared
for plaster, ~stucco, cement, plaster of
paris and building material. The gyp-
sum is also to be hauled to Kansas in
large quantities, to be used as fertil.
izer for the big wheat fields.

One of the queer results of the coal strike has cropped out in St. Clair, Pennsylvania. At the suggestion of the pastor of the Protestant Episcopal church of that place, the male members of the congregation are found daily on the refuse banks of the several collieries picking coal for the church's winter supply. The pastor, attired in over alls and with sleeves rolled up, accom- panies them. The banks are 8 mile from town and the product is hauled in by teams. The church has capacity 1 for seventy-five tons in the cellar and the idea Is to fill it.

NO GLANCE HERE.

Henry watterson of Kentucky says he doesn't want the nomination for gov ernor which some have been talking of giving him. T am too old to turn ras- cal" he adds.
 There has been some talk il Cennec- ticut of nominating men for governor who do not want the nomination. and they have said So, but they haven't in- dicated that they would have ito turn rascaI' in order to seek or accept the nomination. If Brother Watterson feels that he would have to turn rascal in order to take the nomination for gov- ernor of Kentucky there must be sad and bad condition of affairs in that State. Thank goodness, there is no such condition of affairs in this State. Here many men are seeking the nomi- nation and they are not changing their quality.
