San Francisco, June s.-The eyes of
the sporting world are turned toward
the Pacific Coast, where the next bat
tie for the heavyweight championship
IS scheduled to be fought between
Champion Jim Jeffries and the Butte
miner. Jack Munroe. on June II.
Fast has been the rise of this Jack
Munroe the Butte miner, who boldly
throws down the gauntlet to the great
Jeffries and challenges him to defend
his title.
Two years ago AIunroe was the anna
teur champion of the Pacific slope,
unknown to the world of sport ut
large Then one night he accepted
Champion Jeffries' open challenge to
any man who would stay with him for
four rounds.
It was in Butte, Munroe's home.
The fight was bitterly contested. Moth
ing like it had ever been seen in the
mining city and the swarthy and stall
wart miners went wild with JOY as
the battle ragged fercer and fercer,
and still their comrade gave the cham
pion blow for blow.
When the gong sounded at the close
of the fourth inning the miner was
ready for more. He had proved too
much for the unbeaten Jeffries.
Stories differ as to that fight. Mum
zoe and his friends insist that his ter
rible right hand blow brought Jeffries,
dazed. to his knees for moment
. Jeffries and his adherents deny any
ouch tale, and insist that the cham
pi-on had the better of the struggle.
1t is certain that the fight took
place. It is certain that the referee
gave the decision to the youthful min
err, who that night passed the Rubicon
into the professional ranks.
When the Butte miner faces Jeffries
in the ring he will find him a stronger
and faster man that ever before. The
champion realizes that in Munroe he
will meet a man who, although lack
ing in ring experience and boxing
skill, is no mean opponent because OF
his great size and enormous strength
Consequently. jeff is leaving nothing
undone that will increase his chance
of victory. His trainers say that he

The Sugar Bounty

sugar bounty, under the act of the
last legislature. lis exciting consider
able interest just now and many ar
guments both pro and con are being
advanced. The Tribune has never
taken much stock in bounties-it does
not believe in them. The question of
opposition to or support of bounties,
however, does not enter into this case
and we can scarcely see how there can
be any but one position on the matter
at issue. The state promised. 1t is
just as essential for the state to persue
an honorable business course as 1t Is
for an individual We hardly think
that 1t will be argued that the state
has no authority to give a bounty and,
If 1t has such authority, we can not
regard any attempt to evade such pay
ment through some technical defect in
the law as other than dishonorable.
The state of Idaho is too big to stoop
to any such business methods.

Dlsastroas fire.

Last Monday evening the resi-
dence of Mrs. James Meadows, in
the lower end of the valley, was
discovered to be on fire, and the
flames had gained such Roadway be-
fore being discovered that the build
ing was completely consumed in a
short time. The blaze, no doubt,
started from a defective stovepipe.
There were no facilities for fighting
the FIRE and hardly anything was
saved from the building. The loss
to the owners is a very heavy one
as there was no insurance, and
many family relics were consumed
which can never be replaced. Mr..
and Mrs. Meadows will rebuild, and
we understand that subscription
list has been placed in circulation
by their friends and neighbours to
raise funds to assist in the construc-
ton OF new home. 1t should be
signed literally by the residents OF
the entire valley.

The white Mas Taint.

Last Monday evening a Pluto
squaw named Mamie committed
suicide in the camp in the field back
of DR.. G.. l. Leavitt's residence. In
stead of using the usual method of
destruction by Piutes-wild parsnip
Mamie placed the muzzle of shot
gun against her stomach, and in
some manner pulled the trigger of
the weapon and sent charge of
shot through her abdomen. The
deed was committed about shutdown
and the woman lived until about
II o'clock that night. She was an
unusually intelligent and good look
ing squaw, aged about 2S or 30 years,
and from all appearances had white
blood in her veins. AS near as could
be learned the deed was committed
on account of trouble with her
husband and buck she had discard
ed some time ago on account of his
dissolute habits.

Mechanical fnQlaeerIna.

The application of machinery to
almost every phase of human in
dustry has developed the mechanic
arts to such an extent that a large
field of usefulness is open to a me-
chanical engineer well trained to the
theory and practice of his profession.
The present demand for such men il
much greater than the supply. Fol
lowing the lead of the most progress
sive States in the union, five years
ago Nevada established the School
of Mechanic Arts as a department of
the State University, at Reno. The
training given is thorough in both
the theory and practice of Mechani-
cal and Electrical Engineering as
well as the operation of engines,
dynamos and other machinery.
Under the direction of Professors
Blessing and Scrugham over four
hundred exercises in shopwork and
ORA awning were prepar ed and sent to
the Worlds Fair at st. Louis. The
head of the department has received
letters from experts in charge of the
exhibits commencing it as one OF the
best, it not the best, sent from any
technical school in the United States.
In this exhibit were some highly
creditable pieces of woodworking
by Dwight Leavitt of this town,
who is a Freshman in the school.

Nearly Drowned.

Last Saturday, while riding colt
and crossing the river near the
Miller 4 Lux place, Eddie Brooks
came near getting drowned. The
water was pretty high and Brooks
climed up in the saddle on his knees
while crossing the stream. The
horse became frightened at some
thing, and throwing up his head
struck Brooks in the head, knock

Asa Mitchell happened along and,
being handy with rope, fished
young Brooks out. He was taken
home and given the best of care
and is now no worse off for his bath
