EOUND NEW FOSSILS
IN THE NORTHWEST

Stanford Universit, Cal, Sept. g.
Professor James p Smith, of the De
partment of Mining and Geology, has
returned to the University from a trip
through the northwest, wnere he spent
a portion of the summer in scientific
investigation connected with mono
graphs, which are to be published
by the United States Geological Sur
vey. These monographs deal with
Smell fish fossils, and when completed
will contain all the genera of the
west. The first monograph is to ap-
pear in the fall, and will contain but
one specie Of each of the seventy odd
genera. The second monograph will
not appear Tor several years, owing to
its exhaustive character.
After leaving the university two
weeks were spent in the western
Humboldt range in Nevada. Two more
weeks were spent in the Wasatch
range, in southeastern Idaho. Prof,
Smith then spent some time in Shasta
county, California. He has been over
this field three times, and in his last
investigation found many new and
valuable specimens. The discoveries
are principally triassic ammonites,
and will require several years of study
before their exact identity is ascer-
tanned

ing today between Premier Komuratz
and members of both houses, repre-
senting their respective parties and
associates, was had, and Count Kaz
tura made a full statement regarding
peace negotiations.
Baron Yamato, minister of the navy
who was present at the meeting, said
that although there was strong popu
lar dissatisfaction with the terms OF
peace, it must be borne in mind that
far heavier sacrifice of life would
be necessary to take Vladisvostok
than that involved in the capture OF
Port Arthur, besides a heavy monetary
outlay. It was advisable. therefore
he said to be satisfied with the pres
ent terms.
NJ. Oishi, leader OF the progressive
party, suggested that the cabinet
should resign after concluding peace
upon such satisfactory terms. When

Round 9-Nelson co.nered and then
forced Britt around as usual, Britt
trying to keep han off. Britt landed
two more left jabs and then another
and then another, and followed with
a right hook to the jaw All of this
failed TO phase the Dane, who al
ways waded in for more. Britt struck
rather low, and was warned. In an ex-
change Nelson put two upper cuts to
Britt's face and body, and then Britt,
finding Nelson in an exposed condi-
tion, landed two terrific rights and
left to the jaw. Nelson kept try
ing to get to close quarters, but Britt
smashed him at will with left and
right TO the face but could not keep
the Dane at a distance. Britt had the
hOnOrs of battle, every inch, this
round which had been contested at
most to the limit Of human endurance.

The Rrltt.NeIson Eiaht.

Colma, Cal, Sept. 9.-Not since Jim
Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons boxed
in Carson City, has any prize fight at
tracted as much attention as the bat
tie which Jimmy Britt and Battling
Nelson will fight this afternoon in the
new pavilion erected within the Union
Coursing Park enclosure. Nearly all
the important fights since the Cor
bett-FitZsimmons affair were between
heaVyWeights. No contest between
lightweights of the importance of the
two fighters who are to meet today,
has taken place for many years, and
it is that fact as well as the condi-
tions of the fight which will make, It
a memorable event.
At first the proposition was to make
the fight one of fifty rounds, but that
was afterwards changed to torty-fiye
rounds. Even as it is, there is scarce
ly any doubt that it will be a finish af-
fair as both men are too active and
swift fighters to make it probable that
the battle will go on for so many
rounds without one or the other being
knocked out, The mill is practically
for the lightweight title, as the condi'
tions are in accordance with the rules
of that class.
Today being Admission Day" le-
gal holiday in California, commemor-
ating the admission of California into
the statehood, the fact that the fight
has been set for today is attracting
much larger attendance than il
would have attracted on any other
day. The management of the Colma
Athletic Club, under the auspices OF
which the fight is arranged, counted
on the holiday to increase the box re

ing. Britt sent in several jabs with
'he left to the face, and right to the
face also, out pointing the Dane. A
right upper cut caught Britt on the
face, and Britt fought back, landing
his left lightly at will Nelson went
after Britt to keep close quarters
but Britt was too shifty and clearly
outboxed Nelson. Britt then landed
a stiff right to the jaw, wObbling
Nelson's head. Then followed fierce
exchange, both landing telling blows.
Britt shot his lett twice 10 the jaw
and then put up two stiff rights to the
same place. Nelson continued to be
the receiver general of Britt's left
and rights clouts, but nothing could
stop him. In the mix a left hand
caught Britt in the jaw, but he was
not affected by the punch. Britt
clearly outpointed Nelson and had the
advantage.
Round 11-Both missed left swings
and Nelson forced as usual. He con-
stantly bore in, but Britt kept send
ing right and aeft blows TO Nelson's
jaw. Britt stabbed Nelson with left
TO the face, and after landing two
similar blows, shot left and right hard
to the jaw, but could not make Nell
son keep his distance. They clinched

in a rally swinging rights and lefts
TO the face and jaw. Nelson still
went in, but his blows were short

to the jaw, and the gong rang with

the Dane back, and sent a terrifiC
right upper cut to the body. Brit
followed with a right and left TO the
jaw and then followed with a left
hook to the jaw. Britt shot TWO letts
to Nelson's sore place, and easily
avoided Nelson's amateurish efforts
at retaliation. Nelson, however, never

wavered. Receiving two stiff hooks
and right to the jaw, he kept going
in, but Britt forced him to a clinch
with terrific right and left clouts to
the jaw. Even then the Dane seemed
to take punishment without any ap-
parent effect, and showed no distress
from the constant ripping of Britt's
left and right punches. Britt again
had the advantage.
Round 13-They missed lefts for
the face. Nelson followed Britt to the
ropes, but Jimmie peppered away with
lefts to the head. Britt then swung
two rights to the head and received

, KLONDIKE MERCHANTS
FIX UNIFORM PRICES

Tacoma, Wash, Sept 9.-Merchan-
disc wars promise to become a thing
of the past in the Klondike. Whole
salers and retailers have organized for
the first time in the history of the
camp, and have formed a combination
TO maintain the uniform quotations
for the Dawson market. The under
taking became effective last week.
The rtailers have stiffened a number
of their quotations. On the whole, the
wholesale rates are changed but little,
while every jobber or wholesaler has
once price TO offer. The only differ
ence that may be gained getting prices
will be on the different quality of
goods. This at least, is the purpose
of the organization, and all of the
Dawson merchants are in line.
