ATTELL NOT LIKELY

Remarkably Fast But Blows

fective Left Jab-
DEFENSE is WONDERFUL

Abe Attell outpOinted Tommy Mowatt
before the Eureka Club in Baltimore
last night in fifteen rounds. and showed
that he is about the shiftiest. fastest
fighter in the ring.
Wonderful footworlz characterized the
man who claims the featherweight
championship. and RTowatt was con-
stantly making wild swings which came
nowhere near landing. With speed
so fast that it was almost impossible
for those at the Tingside to see what
he was doing Attell would dodge out of
tight places and whirl into action again
so nimbly that Mowatt was completely
dazed by finding his man exactly the
place where he did not expect him.
Perhaps the most remarkabIe part of
Attells boxing was in covering when
rushed 10 a corner. Mowatt had the
weight and expected to beat him down
with body blows. but although he rained
thumps at the ribs and stomach OF the
champion there was not one in five
went home. The audience thought AtteII
was receiving a terrific 1ambasting in
these mixes and yelled accordingly, but
to those along the ropes it was a huge
joke, for Attell received practically no
punishment
Blows Lack Steam.
If AttelTs punch were as effective as
his defense. he could make a middls-
weight hustle to beat him, but his
blows lack steam. They shoot over
with great speed, and reach the mark
but there is not enough stamina be-
hind them to knock out husky boy
and for that reason there is little or
no chance that he will be able TO knoc (
out such a sturdy lad as Kid Sullivan

the same club. On the other hand, Il

w. z. Hughey Tells Journal Of Com
merce Exporter About the Property

w. E. Hughey, one of the directors OF
the Red Top mine, is in town, and this
morning spoke of the property. He SAL
that the mine is looking better than
ever and in his opinion it is cheaper
today than when it sold at 3s cents.
"The property is looking splendid
and 1 think that the price will go high.
err. The conditions at the mine certain
ly warrant higher quotations. We had
5000 sacks of ore in the drifts which
will be shipped as soon as we can get
fair freight rates. At the present time
the freight charges are excessive. On
the dumps are about 1000 tons Of ore
that we value at about $4,000. The
men are now constructing an air chute
and as the ore is taken out it is placed
in bins and locked up in the mine. The
shaft is down 1855 feet and the bottom
is in good ore. There is no doubt but
what the company will soon be in "
position to declare dividends.
"The greatest worry at present Is
the treatment of the output. The mills
are doing good work, but their charges
are little high. The Red Top COMPANY
has just signed a contract with a re-
duction plant to work 1000 tons by
January 25th. We will grade u ore
down to 800, and the rate. on this
grade will be $19. The transportation
charges are something fearful. 1t costs
more to ship ore ninety miles than it
costs to ship from Nina to Salt Lake.
We had a carload Of machinery com
ing from San Francisco and the freight
charges were $715.43, and then we later
got an un~dercharge bill of $40 more.
"The Red Top will construct the best
mill in Goldield and work will be COM
menced lust as soon as the Jumbo mill
is running, which will be in about two
months. We want to wait until we see
what is the best process for Goldfeld
ores.
"The shaft in the Jumbo mine ls
down 500 feet, but there is not much
work being lone in the mine just now.
They are looking for water and expect
to strike a good quantity to run the
mill.'
