A SMOKER.
An Amusing Time and Every
Member Present Pleased.

An unusually diverting smoker
was held in Elks hall last night un-
der the auspices of the Woodmen of
the World. Knowing that the even
ing would be especially amusing and
attractive, the members invited in
their friedns to participate in the en-
ioyment. When the program began,
there must have been nearly two hun
dred people in the hall The Unity
stringed orchestra played several Sc
lections at the opening of the exer-
cises and then internationally through
out the evening. The features of
the smoker which stamped it as an
extraordinary one were the boxing
matches. There were one preliminary
and two main bouts The six pugil-
istic contestants showed remarkable
skill in dealing blows, and altogeth-
tainment for the spectators.
johnson and Morrison who were the
principals in the second encounter
were we'll matched in size, reach and
weight. and were about equally capa-
BILE in the sport of applying the nit
to the face. H. Freebone. a strang-
er, and Chas. Jackman, who gave the
third and last exhibition, were not so
we'll mated in point of size. Free
bone was much smaller than his ad-
versary and increased this natural ad-
vantage by crouching in his work. He
gave and received some smart cuffs,
but was outclassed from the beginning
and outdone in the third round. Sing
ing. music, card playing and refresh
ments were other attractions of the
evening.

NEW SMELLING SCHEME.

New York, April, 80. Thomas A.
Edison has scheme for extracting
the untold billions of dollars worth
of gold that lie in the immense low
grade quartz gravel beds in Lower
California, New Mexico. Arizona and
northern Mexico. These cannot now
lie worked because the old fashioned
placer hydraulic system is lacking
and the gold runs in too small a
quantity to the ton to make mining
it profitable. An air blast is employ
ed by Mr.. Edison in his solution of
the problem to separate the gold
from the mass. The system, it is
claimed, has now reached working
basis. Experiments on the desert
near Santa Fe by Floyd M. Chapman.
one of Mr. Ediso assistants, have
enabled Mr.. Edison and Mr.. Chapman
to produce machine which they de-
clare will reclaim 9S per cent. of the
gold from the gravel
In hydraulic mining it was thought
remarkable if rs per cent of the gold
was washed out.
One man, it is claimed, can run
scores of separators. The gravel is
first dug out of the ground with a
steam shovel. conveyors then carry it
to sieves that separate it into parti-
cles of uniform size, and the gravel is
automatically distributed to the hop
per of its proper machine. The gravel
falls through a narrow slit before a
rotary blower, which drives a full
blast of air against the falling gravel.
The gold being heavier. falls to the
lighter gravel and sand is blown into
separate compartment.

Berlin. Dec. 31.-The foreign office
continues TO assure inquirers that the
German government does not believe
war will result from the Japanese-Rus-
sian controversy This is also the view
OF the press. whether derived from OF
fetal sources or as independent opin-
ion Ii does not appear that Sir fFaBk
Lascelles. the British ambassador here
as previously cabled. said that war
is not unlikely unless Russia yields.
The Japanese legation believes and
hopes Russia will grant Japan's just
requests.

representative al Toxic has not been
informed in the sense which the l-okal
Anzeiger says he has and, further, that
the Russian government has not re-

not received any intelligence from To-

REACHES A CRITICAL STAGE.
War in the Far East Now Appears Z
Certainty.

Washington, Dec. 31-At the Rus
sian embassy and at the Japanese le-
CATION the Associated Press is inform.
cd that the situation In the Far East
has entered upon critical stage. Both
the Russian ambassador, Count Cas-
SIM. and MIR Takahira the Japanese
minister. express the hope that war is
not yet inevitable.
Count Cassini goes further and is of
the opinion that the situation may yet
b0 saved without recourse to arms.
but the ambassador has no official adj
vices on which to base this belief and
1t is only his personal view of the mat
ter. Mr.. rakahira takes a more pes
simistic view of the case.
Russia and Japan are receiving nu-
merous letters from Americans all
over the country offering their serv-
ices in the event of war. The Russian
ambassador and the Japanese minister
a.e declining all offers of assistance
AT the Japanese legation the an
nouncement is authorized that for
days Mr.. Takahira's mail has con
tanned many letters from
Americans Wishing to Enlist
In the japanese army or navy The
minister is sending a personal note to
each writer expressing the profound
appreciation Of the Japanese people
for this evidence OF sympathy and sup
port on the part of the citizens of the
United States, but saying that even if
assistance were needed the laws of
Japan preclude the employment of any
foreign troops. Furthermore Japan 5
army and navy are adequate 10 meet
the emergency.
Mr.. rakahira has advised his gov
ernment by cable of these offers Of
assistance and the Japanese embassies
and legations throughout Europe also
will be made aware of this demonstra
ton of American sympathy
Count Cassini. in declining the of
fers which his government is receiy-
ing. also Is expressing his appreciation
of the spirit which prompts them. He
Is likewise advising st. Petersburg of
the fact that the Russian government
may know of the sympathy felt for
Russia in the present crisis.
