: INTERPRETATION
 The Bisbee Daily Reviews DEPARTMENT of SPORTS
The Champion.

There has been considerable talk about Jeffries' bad knee, and many are saying that he will never enter the ring with Munroe. His friends assert on the other hand that the big fellow will get into the ring with the miner at the earliest date possible.
 Jeffries has the best record of any heavyweight champion since the ear ly days of John L. Sullivan, as far as willingness to make matches goes. The big chap has never lodged trouble, and has always shown a desire to meet all corners.
 After Jim Corbeti won the cham pionship from old John L. Sullivan.
 the pompadour gentleman was the hardest proposition to make a match
 with that ever wore the belt. It took
 months and months of newspaper con-
 troversy. columns of talk from both
 men and statements from their manag- CTS before there was ever a chance to
 get two men together long enough to
 talk business. Jim Corbett used to
 work himself up into a rage at the
 challenger. and then insult him in
 some public place before he would
 fight. He tried to make a personal matter out of every fight he had after his trouble with old John L. Fitzsimmons was little better. but he preferred a road show to training,
 and it was not easy to get his sigma ture affixed to articles.
 But Jim Jeffries has been the most obiiging of champs. He can not act, and he does not care for the elevating influence of ten, twent' and thirt' at-
 fractions. Fighting is the only game Jim Jeffries knows, and he has shown his great liking for it by going down
 the line and whipping every aspirant twice over.
 Jeffries can not afford to climb un- der the ropes with husky opponent unless prepared to defend his title, and his knee has placed him out of it un- til August, but now that he has depos- ited 5000 to meet Munroe in August those who thought him shirking will have to pull in their horns.
 Jeffries, Billy Delaney, Joe Kenne- dy, Jack Jeffries and Mrs. J. J. Jef- fries have left Harbin Springs, where the champion has been training, and he will finish his work in Oakland. He will do light work at the Reliance Club. and finish his work in Croll's Gardens, Alameda.

aRufe, 1urner and EItzaeraId.

Despairing of securing the Hanlon- McGovern match for his club, Manas- CT Tom McCarey, of the Century Club, Los Angeles, has made liberal offers to Rufe Turner and Willie Fitzgerald for match to take place in Hazari's s Pavilion, Los Angeles. the second week in July.
 Los Angeles has been without box ing contests for several months owing to city ordinance passed by the council prohibiting the sport. This was tested and decided by Judge B. N. Smith in the Superior Court to be in violation of the terms of state law which permits of boxing contests be- fore a regularly incorporated club, for twenty rounds with six-ounce gloves. Since the ordinance was de clared invalid McClarey has been cast ing around for men to start the game, and it is probable Turner and Fitzger- ald will reopen the game there.

 Baseball may no longer be referred to as a national game" said President Harry Pullman of the National league, the other day in New York. Tt really is an international sport. and Is fast supplanting the so-called national sports of other countries all over the world.
 Within short time I have received inquiries from Mexico and South Afri- ca on the same subject-namely, de- cision on a play that occurs quite ire quently in the big leagues, and over which no controversy ever occurs Both of these inquirers-one at Tor renee, Mexico. and the other at Jo- nannesburg, South Africa-wanted to know how & ball should be called that had been accidently hit by bats man and had then gone into fair ter ritory, in both instances the accident al hit having occurred while the bats men were trying to get out of the way of wild pitches.

Madden. ..Ihe petermined.y

Billy Madden, manager for Gus Ruhlin, is a "stayer" when it comes to going after a match for his man. Madden has dogged Jeffries all over the country asking a return match. but the pubic do not look with favor on such contest, as they think Ruh- lin is completely outclassed by de champ" Madden now offers to let Ruhlin take Jeffries' place with Nun roe if Jeff falls down. but there is no likelihood of this coming to pass, and Madden will have to be content until some other pugilist comes to the front who has not met his man Ruhlin. Ii is not thought any match in winch Ruhlin was engaged would bring out a corporal's guard to witness it.

HANNA'S CANDIDACY.

The Ogden State Journal thus
comments upon the possibility Of
Hanna's nomination and his
strength as presidential candi-
date:
"There was never better COM
bination in American politics than
is now being made in behalf Of
Senator Hanna. In the first
place, Marcus Alonzo Hanna him.
self is one of the big men in
America. His methods may lie
reprehensible, his unconscious au-
tocracy may be utterly at variance
with the ideals; but he is a force
fearless and true to his friends
even unto death. In the second
place, he has the unlimited conf
dence of the business interests and
real politicians of his party, With
out a word from the inside and
simply from knowledge of the
men, one can easily argue what
forces would be brought to the
support of Hannas candidacy.
All New York finance would be
at his back; Plat, Beveridge,
Quay, Kearns and many other
senators would devote themselves
to his success; beneficiaries of his
kindness, like Perry Heath, are at
his instant command to 60 around
the country either whispering or
shouting as the occasion may re-
quire. Against his tremendous
ability and the people who are
allied with him, stands the acct
dental president of the United
States, full of zeal and its attend
ant indiscretions and supported by
men who give themselves to his
case, not because they love him
more, but because they love
Hanna less. If Senator Hanna is
really after this nomination, he
will get it. The Roosevelt rab-
BILE cannot withstand the Hanna

o. r. & N. to Build.

President Mohler, in an inter-
view in the Oregonian, as to the
probable construction work during
the present year, is quoted as say
ing: Attention will first be
turned to the proposition of build
ing the line from Riparia to Lewis
ton, Idaho. An agreement has
been reached relative to this piece
of road and it is to be built. Some
final details remain to be deter
mined by the directors, but nc
ears are entertained as to the re-
suits of the meeeing. Mr.. Mohler
could not state just when work
might be expected to commence,
but it will be within a few months {"
Another dispatch from Colfax,
January Z, says: Further details
of the contract are given in the fol-
lowing dispatch:
CoLFAx, Wash. Jan. IA re-
port which seems founded on good
authority is that the construction
of the Ripari-Lewiston extension
of the O. X. & n. is to begin at
once and work will be rushed to
completion. w. III. Stuart,
founder of Texas City, on Snake
river, on the Whitman county side,
opposite Ripari, is here and says
the contract for grading has been
let to Decks 4 Decks, of Portland,
and that the contractors are at
Texas City gathering supplies and
preparing to begin work immedi-
ately. Mr.. Stuart came to Colfax
to buy six carloads OF baled hay to
feed the teams engaged in grading.
He says a large lot of supplies are
being unloadpd at Texas City, and
men and teams are being secured
to work on the grade this winter.
Men, said to represent the con-
tractors, are riding through Whit
man county buying heavy draft
horses for work on the roadbed,
and a number of these horses
were taken through Colfax to the
Snake river today. 1t is generally
believed that the work of construc-
ton is to begin and that the long
delayed work of completing the
grade, much Of which was built in
1898, is to be resumed. Decks &
Decks, who are said to have the
contract, are well known railroad
contractors Of Portland, Ore, and
have been working for the o. r..
& N. during the past year straight
ening curves and reducing grades
in Oregon and Washington.

SmeIter at Work.

Thi Ladd Metal company, a
Portland, Ore, concern, is doing
extensive work in their smelter
and reduction works at Montreal,
on Snake river, in Idaho. Their
plant is on the east bank of the
Snake, 40 miles below Hunting
ton, Ore. They own a valuable
copper proposition known as the
Iron Dyke mines. The Ladd Met
ais company are cot treating any
of their own ores at present.
They have bought all the ores on
the dumps Of the Mining Hopes
Continued mines in the Seven
Devils mining district. The cop
per matte runs from 10 to 60 per
cent copper. They have already
shipped seven carloads of copper
latte to Salt City, Utah. The
company is at present employing
1875 men and will increase the
force in April.
The blowing in of the furnaces
of the Ladd Metals company makes
a new factor in the copper market
and fills long-felt want of an
opening for the disposal of the
copper ores of the Seven Devils
mining region.

Electric Roads Best.

The superiority of the electric
roads over steam is becoming more
and more apparent wherever both
roads are operated. Greater speed,
cheaper power and lower trans
portation rates are bound to win
business for the electric lines, and
as yet not a single failure has been
reported.
1t is said to be practically GER
tain that commencing with Feb
ruary the Occur d'Alene & Spo-
kane Railway company will have
the contract for handling the mails
between Spokane and other points
on the line, which will mean that
mail can be sent to and from
Occur d. Alene every hour, or that
a letter may be written and sent
and an answer received all in one
day.
The Spokane & Occur dAlene
company has put in bid for the
mail business, and it is understood
the company has received word
from Washington which is taken
as an absurd statement that the
contract will be awarded to them
as soon as the new cars are pu,
into service, which will be about
February |.
The Northern Pacific has SO fa,
handled and still handles all the
mail over this route, but because
of the better service which the
electric company will give the
change is to be made. The com
pany has placed such confidence il
its ability to get the contract thai
the new cars are being built will

has been acquitted of the charge of
conspiracy to defraud the govern

he would be, and just as others
have been who are connected with

these brazen robbers is certainly
consistent with the republican poll
