FRISCO WANTS THE BATTLE
Yosemite Club Has Asked supervis-
ors for q Permit


New York. March PA dispatch re
ceived from San Francisco states that
the Yosemite club has already fled q
petition with the supervisors of that
city for a permit for the fight between
Jenries and Corbett and has announc-
ed that it will give a purse of $4,000
for the scrap. The officers of the club
are certain that the permit VIII be
granted. but friends of the boxers are
not so sure that the club viii get the
mill unless the purse is increased The
articles signed by both Jeffries and Cor
bett state explicitly that the clubs bid
ding Tor the encounter must give $4,000
and no less in order to be in line for the
fight.
There is no clause in the articles that
a percentage of the gate receipts would
not be preferable. 1t is said that sew
eral shrewd promoters Of San Francisco
do not think that the fight viii be much
of a drawing card. In the opinion of
excellent judges the fight should draw
very well because the battle will show
whether Jeffries has gone back or not.
In spite of his long campaign in the
ring Corbett win have to hustle to out
point him.

A TRAGIC DEATH.
Isaac Girton Meets Fearful End
at Saltwater Paper Mill.
ACCIDENT UNWITNESSED.

Isaac Girton, an employee of the
Saltwater Manufacturing Company,
met horrible death at the paper
mill, about half past ten yesterday ,
morning. There was no one near
when the accident occurred, and
the account Of the manner in which
it happened is of course supposi-
ton. The belief is that the unfor-
tunate man was attempting to ad-
Just the belt on the big fly-wheel
when he was caught, and was car
ried from the second story with
awful speed down into the engine
room and back again to the second
story, and then hurled out upon
the floor. His body when found
by Harry Berlin and Charles Wes-
ley, two other employees of the
mill, was crushed and bleeding and
the clothes were torn in shreds.
He had cried for help and Berlin
and Wesley heard him, but they
reached his side too late, life had
already departed.
Mr.. Girton was a man of excel
lent character, and he commanded
the respect and admiration of the
whole community. He manifested
a deep interest in things religious
and was the Superintendent of the
Methodist Episcopal Sunday School.
He was sixty years of age, or
thereabouts, and is survived by a
wife and five children, namely,
Arthur Girton, of Buckhorn, and
Hattie, Winifred, Calvin and John,
residing at home. The funeral will
be held at his late residence in
Saltwater, tomorrow afternoon at
one o'clock. Services will be con-
Quoted by Rev. A. Houtz, of
Orangeville, and the remains will
be laid to rest in the cemetery at
Light Street.

A number of people in Blooms

Over 60, 900 shares of the stock is
held.here. Capt. w. 7. Hall, the
fiscal agent, has opened an Office in
Mrs. Hendershott's building next
to McKelvy's drug store, which is
handsomely furnished and with a
complete outfit for showing the
workings, ore samples, etc, His
son Walter is filling the position of
clerk and typewriter. The MoAa9s
County Miner, published at King
man, Arizona, i'll its issue of June
Goth, contains the following item
concerning the Yucca property,
known as the San Francisco Mine.
1t says
'It is rumored that an immense
body of rich ore has been encount-
cred in one of the drifts from the
400 level of the San Francisco mine,
Cedar Valley. Superintendent Pick
ering is. getting i'll machinery for the
mill and mine, a big compressor
plant having gone out few days
ago. This plant will be installed at
| the mine and air drills put in for
shaft and drift work. Under the
present management the mine has
been brought to high state of
development, SO much so that it is
; thought advisable to equip the mill
with late machinery and keep it
running on ore from the develop
ment now being carried on. No
Stopping will be done for some
time"
These mines are under excellent
management and give promise OF
great results.
