The fight at San Francisco last
Saturday between Battling Nelson
and Jimmy Britt. for The lightweight
championship OF the World, resulted
in victory for the former. Accord
ing to the newspaper accounts 1t was
one of the fastest fights ever seen, as
the men went at each other with a
fierceness that amazed the specta-
tors. 1t is stated that up TO the fin.
ish Britt had all the best of 1t on
points. He administered terrible
punishment to the man from Dem
mark. who. to look at, was anything
rather than an inviting spectacle. The
Dane, however, had definite purpose
IL view. with his face badly battered
he stood up gamely and took all that
was coming his way just in order to
land the punch which would win the
championship. His opportunity came
In the eighteenth round, which has
been described as follows:
Britt opened with left to Jaw. Britt
peppeied Nelson and sent right to
head. Nelson scored with left to
body. Britt continued to hook right
and left to Nelson's jaw and mixed 1t
with stiff left to the stomach. Britt
sent left to jaw. when suddenly Mel
son shot his left and right to Britt's
Jaw like flash. Britt went down like
a log, gasping for breath and blood
came from his mouth and nose. The
fatal ten seconds were counted by
Timekeeper Harling. At the count
of ten Britt made feeble effort to
rise, but Immediately sank back ut
terly defeated. Up to the time of
the knockout Britt appeared to have
the lead. There was terrific tumult
at the conclusion Of the battle. Ref
cree Eddie Graney said after the
fighters had left the ring: at was
the greatest fight>we have ever wit
messed in modern times"

Out at a road house near Nome, a
barkeeper and guest got into fight.
The barkeeper tried to kill his guest
and assailant. One of the latter's ears
was shot away and the barkeeper set
out for Nome with the man he had
wounded to get doctor. The earless
man partook freely of the booze the
men had with them and when he got to
town he refused to go to the hospital.
He wandered around town, his bloody
ear and incoherent remarks stirring
things up generally for a day or so. No
arrests were made.
"Mysterious" Yannert, from Cold
Storage and Purgatory, was in Rampant

capture, and several outfits held up by
the enraged Yannert did not own sock.
One man on his way from Ft Yukon
had never heard of such an article of
apparel. The disgusted Yannert re-
turned home and penned a frantic ap-
peal to the authorities for proper police
protection, insinuating that he would
buy no more sox until his request was
granted; not if he lived in Purgatory
for life. 1t is reported that the federal
authorities referred him to the ecclesi-
astical department. A down-riVer tloater
stated that the bereft Yannert discoy-

Company's property. They have the
ore, he says, beyond doubt, and plenty
of it. The ease and facility with which
the ore can be handled from the mine
to the mill, and the product from the
mill to steamers, impressed him strong

the York region, where he and Q. y.
Hadley, also of Pittsburg, spent num-
Der of weeks looking into the tin pos
sibilities of that section. Mr.. Sanders
ders is a competent authority, being, as
has been stated, thoroughly familiar
with tin quartz. "The tin quartz out

Sanders, sis exceedingly bright. The
ore found in the BartelS mines and
elsewhere in the York country is iden-
ticaI with that found in Cornwall, Eng
land, which mines L have visited, only
the York ore carries much larger per-
centage of tin. There is absolutely no
doubt that quartz tin exists in great
quantities and 1 look for wonderful de-
velopments there in the near future"
Messrs. Sanders and Hadley sailed on

They will return next spring and will

The new strike on the Yentna river is
attracting good deal of attention out
that way just at present. The Yentna
strike is about one hundred miles
above Susitna station, which is twenty
miles from the mouth of the Susitna
river.
Section men employed by the Alaska
Central baked when ordered to unload
dynamite from the schooner Volante.
They thought they were expected to do
the work for the same wages as they
are paid on the grade work. When
they we're told that they would receive
longshoremen's wages they went to
work.
Owing to the parting of a guy line,
the steamer Isom sunk loaded barge
on the lower river, on her last trip to
Tanana. 1t is said that the entire
winters supply OF potatoes and hay for
the post at Tanana was lost on the
barge. An up-river passenger reports

aperture which is , inches high and 4
inches long, cut through plank l.25
inch thick, the lower edge of aperture
being 2 inches above the bottom of the
measuring bhok, and the upper edge .
inches below the level of the water.
Tin ore exists in southern California,
South Dakota, Texas and Alaska, but
for variety of reasons is not yet being
mined in a commercial way. In the
Federated Malay States is the greatest
present annual production. In Bolivia,
South America, a production of 5000
tons and in Australia an annual yield
of 1000 tons are reported. The cost OF
production varies. In Cornwall, Eng
land, at the Dolcoath mines, ton of
black tin now costs from 8275 to S4O0.
Over FIVE hundred stampeders have
left Fairbanks during the past ten days
for the scene of the new strike on the
Kantishua, and as many more will go

The find was made on Eureka creek.
An arrival at Chena recently reported
that he had panned on one of the
claims and got one pan of SIS. The
ground in the new district is shallow
and very easily prospected. A town,
site is now being surveyed at the head
of navigation on the Kantishna, which
is about so miles from the mouth. The
diggings are 40 miles further up the
river.
The figures showing the results OF
the tourist business done by the w. P
&Y. r. for the summer that has just
come to an end are encouraging. 1t
was much larger than the same class OF
business has been in any of the other
years that have passed since the con-
struction of the road. About 1000
people were handled during the season
and the fares they paid make hand
some addition to the gross income of
the company. A summary of the ex-
cursion tickets sold to tourists has
been made. 1t is as follows: Tickets
sold to Dawson, 165; to Atlin, 20; to
Bennett, 100; to the Summit, 17o0. This
list does not include tickets sold for
round trips to Whitehorse and only ap-
plies to tourists from the states.

very large cargo of cattle to Skagway
last month. 1t consisted of us head

The natives along the Yukon river
are protesting very strongly against
the practice of the river steamers burn
ing oil. 1t kills off the fish when it
leaks out from vessels.
A late Dawson dispatch to the White
horse Star says Jerome A. Chute has
thrown up the contract for building
the Klondike Mines railroad and will
leave at once for Tanana.
A stick of dynamite became tangled
up with load of garbage in scavanger

mashed up the wagon some. The Nome
police think it was joke.
Preliminary bulletins received at the

It is now up to the good people
