BRITT WINS DECISION.
San Francisco Champion Has the Best
of Twenty Rounds.

San Francisco, Dec 21.-At the end
of the twentieth round, with Jimmy
Britt of San Francisco and Battling
Nelson of Chicago fighting like pair
of bulldogs, the gong sounded the end
of the contest and Referee Roche un-
hesitatingly placed his hand on the
California boy as the winner Of the
contest.
In the closing round Britt was
punching the Chicago boy all over the
ring, but his blows lacked sufficient
force to put quietus on his opponent.
The fight was an exemplification of
how much punishment human being
can endure and not succumb. At sew
eral stages of the fight Nelson was
badly punished, but he always kept
gamely coming up to the firing line,
and all through the twenty rounds he
forced the fighting. In one or two in
stances he had the local boy in dis
tress, but Britt's excellent generalship
and the advice of his seconds saved
him from going too close to the dan
ger point.
Nelson is unquestionably a wonder
in the pugilistic world. Time after time,
taking blows heavy enough to put out
an ordinary fighter he would come up
apparently in his early form and
bring the fighting to Britt.
Referee Roche announced that he
gave the fight to Britt on cleaner hit
ting and the greatest number of points
scored, and a retrospect of the fight
bears out the justness of his decision.
Although Nelson did most of the lead
ing Britt displayed the greater ability
as a boxer and his blows were cleaner
and more forceful while majority of
the shots fired by Nelson were at
close quarters. Nelson was sadly de-
ficient in long arm. and most Of his
attempts to reach his opponent while
both men were free were ineffectunl.
The house was one of the largest
ever seen in San Francisco, and 1t is
estimated that the fighters will divide
nearly $4,000 between them.
There were no visible marks of pun
ishment on Nelson, except some slight
puffiness about the eyes. and Britt's
face was bleeding in several places
from the force of the blows delivered
by Nelson in the clinches.

Money Goes to Schools.

Denver, Dec. 21.-Attorney General
Miller has rendered an opinion in the
disposition of the $79,S50, received by
the state several weeks ago In the sale
of timber on 1850 acres of public
school and State Agricultural College
lands in Montezuma county, which is
of extreme Importance to the schools
and agricultural college. especially to
the latter as without its share of the
money Immediately 1t would have to
issue deficiency warrants to carry 1t
through the year. Attorney General
Miller gave 1t as his opinion that the
money should be paid into the income
fund for the use of the educational in
stitutions, which gives the use of the
total amount Immediately.
In his opinion the attorney general
said that as the timber. the product of
the land. and not the land itself, had
been sold, the money realized right
fully belonged in the income fund; II
the land itself had been sold the money
would belong in the permanent fund;
that the money realized from a prod
uct should be regarded as the interest
and not as a part Of the principal. The
share of the college amounts to $15,-

Portland Output Increased.

A Victor correspondent says: From
thoroughly authentic but not official
source it Is learned that the Portland
mine this month will eclipse all for
mer records. In addition to the regu-
lar monthly output of milling ore
shipped to and treated at the COM
pany's mills at Colorado City, aggre-
eating $500 tons of an average value
of $50 ton. the management will ship
to the smelters at Denver, Pueblo or
elsewhere between 1000 and 1000
tons of ore that will return values of
not less than $50 ton.
The movement of this smelling ore
has been commenced already. Be-
sides this heavy tonnage shipped on
company account 1t is estimated that
the leasers who are already at work
on the mine dumps of the estate will
market about 5000 tons of an average
value of SIS to the ton.
Taking these figures as a basis at
the lowest calculation the gross out
put from the estate for the month will
not be less than $5OO,OO0.
Wit this remarkable increase, and
the prevailing conditions prior to the
holiday times, there seems to be no
doubt that December figures will ex-
ceed by many thousands of dollars all
previous monthly records for produc
tion in the history of the camp.

Main Forts Still Held.

New York. Dec. 21.-Though the
Japanese besiegers of Port Arthur
have by the capture of 203.Meter hill
and the outer keekwan fort obtained
valuable positions, yet the chain of
great permanent forts in the main line
of defenses remains practically intact.
These forts are actually great strong
holds. each able to offer independently
resistance to a besieging force, while
supporting each other. owing to the su-
perb engineering skill of their con-
struction. They may be starved out or
run short Of ammunition, but 1t is now
practically certain that to capture any
one of them must entail upon Nogi's
army immense sacrifices Of life.

A POSSIBLE CLUE
in THE SPRINGS MURDER CASE.
Man Seen Near Place Where Dead
Body Was Found.-Woman Found
Pieces of Burned Clothing.


Colorado Springs. Colo. Dec 21--
Daniel Quirk of Denver, who viewed
the remains of the woman murdered
on Cutler mountain, yesterday decided
that they were not those of his wife.
This decision puts the officers at sea
again.
Mrs. Ellen e. Jack. who owns sew
eral mining claims on Cheyenne noun
tain, has supplied the latest clue to the
solution of the Cutler mountain
tragedy. and it is being investigated by
the officers at work on the case.
Mrs. Jack found several articles OF
feminine wearing apparel on her way
to the city Monday, but knowing moth
ing of the tragedy did not bring them
with her. She reported the discovery
yesterday. She noticed that they were
partially burned. She says, also, that
German, near the scene of the tragedy.
Mrs. Jack asserts that she left her
camp about o'clock Monday after
noon to come to this city. Her camp
is located on the side Of Cheyenne
mountain, beyond the Bruin Inn, on
the Palmer road.
In descending the hill she took a
short cutoff which led her along the
side of Cutler hill, between the north
and south canons. While following
the trail, and when near the settler of
lie Brookside water system, she came
upon the pieces of clothing.
A piece of white skirt and three or
four pieces of wooden goods showing
contact with fire, caused the woman to
wonder who had been burning CLOTH
ing.
Upon reaching the city Mrs. Jack
stopped with friend and then learned
for the first time that a murder had
been committed on Cutler mountain.
Yesterday morning she reported her
find to Sheriff Grimes and Chief Rey.

Tempering Copper.

The Denver Republican Of December
10th says: David Lamon gave DEM
onstration of his process for temper
ing copper in the assay office OF Fl. G.
Parmalee. 1755 Arapahoe street, yes
terday afternoon to several expert as.
sayists and electricians. He showed
how he heated the copper first and
then by applying either his liquid or
powder treatment could harden copper
SO that 1t would cut steel.
At demonstration OF the process In
Chicago last week fve-ton steel ham,
mer was Clipped In an effort to break
n bit OF the copper tempered by the
Lamon process. Plans have been per-
fected for the erection OF plant In
Denver and It Is believed that early
in the spring the plant Will be in ope-
ration. It will be devoted at first to
making wire, but later razors and
edged tools OF every character Will be
made.

Taylor Park CYANIDE Plant.

Under date of December 18th the
Buena Vista correspondent of the Den
yer News says: The last two loads
Of machinery which the Woods Gold
Mining Company have been hauling
into the park for their mill was taken
across the range last week. and as
soon as this is in place the mill will
be put in operation, which will be in
about thirty days. 1t is one OF the
largest cyanide mills in the West, and
was erected not only to treat their
own ore. but that of other mines in
the district. The capacity of the mill
will be 100 tons per day.
Work of erecting the mill was COM
menced early last spring. but owing
to the great distance from the rail
roads and the mountain ranges that
had to be crossed by wagons hauling
the freight, the work of getting the
machinery into the park was slow.
For the past few weeks the regular
force of millmen and carpenters have
been doubled with the hope that the
mill would be ready for operations by
the first of the year.
