Realistic Fight Pictures.

The Britt-Nelson fight films, wonderful as
they are in themselves. and typefying the
greatest stride yet made in motion Pho
Biography, are yet more wonderful as
study of human character. No play that
was ever written showed its hero and Its
villain to the public eye as these cold
faultless unchangeful pictures lay bare the
souls of Jimmy Britt and Battling Nelson.
In every round their lives, their characters
arc made as an open book. You watch the
Battling Dane, and you realize ere hail
round has passed the ruthless purpose. the
dominance of determination and of bull
dog courage, the mercilessness of MIND
and body which actuated him throughout
the struggle, and impelled him tirelessiy
forward to his final victory. Then you
study the different type, the varying Or
ganization, of Jimmy Britt. You realize
at once that this is man of different race
different schooling and different mentality.
You see the high spirit and the naughty
pride Of the hitherto unconquered victor
You see the pluck. the determination, the
never-say-die spirit of the boy and you
know. long before the battle ends, how ne
will fight to the last ditch, and never yieio
till the breath is beaten out of him. A
wonderful study, those Britt-Nelson plot
ures-an open book, and novel or en-
trancing pages.

O'BRIEN-RUHLIN
MATCH DENIED.

NEW YORK. January 4.-Gus Rubin
was interviewed during the progress of the
bouts at Elmers Athletic Club last night,
concerning the report that he had been
matched to fight Jack O'Brien before Tom
O'Reurke's Tuxedo Athletic Club. near
Philadelphia. Gus said that he only knew
what O'Rourke had told him concerning
the match. O'Rourke had assured Rubin
that O'Brien had practically agreed to meet
him. and Rubin had not the slightest doubt
that he would within few months enter
the ring with the conoueror of Fitzstm-
mons.
Il have been reliably Informed said
Rubin, that O'Brten intends to cut MS
theatrical tour short in order to keep In
condition for the numerous matches he
will be- forced to make within the next
year or so. He has reached the conclusion
that the stage work is not good way to
rest
you know I was the first man to post
a forfeit to meet the winner of the o Brien-
Fitzsimmons fight, and 1 think 1t no more
than fair for O'Brien to give me the first
chance. If O'Brien won't fight me In the
near future 1 am willing to fight any
other good man. Somehow they all seem
to be afraid of me-"
There Is truth In the report that i
have signed to meet Gus Rubin at the new
Tuxedo club March L." said Jack O'Brien
at the Hotel Touraine. in Boston, yesterday
when was IN fnnadelphla last ouuuay
I was asked IL l was willing to meet RUN
lin. My reply was that I didn't care whom
I met as long as considered him worthy
opponent. This was the only remark
made In regard to meeting the Akron giant
I did not communicate yesterday or at any
other time for match with Gus. and L
don't see what reason or what authority
any one has to sign me up.
~ will meet every fighter in the due
course of events. I have signed a contract
to appear for ten weeks on the theatrical
boards with John Jerome of Philadelphia.
I am receiving 500 week and expenses,
including wages for my valet and secretary.
II Mr. Jerome cares to have me break my
engagement before the end of that time L
am perfectly willing"

nouncement Of the sailing Of the foreign
professionals added stimulus was given
to this end Of the affair. There is no
longer any doubt OF the tournament being
thoroughly International in Its flavor, with
Great Britain. Canada, the United States
and Mexico represented. There is an err
roneous Idea in some quarters that the
Mexican tournament Is for professionals
and that the amateurs are not wanted. A
glance at the program will show that In
the list OF tournaments scheduled from jan
uary 10 to 2S inclusive, amateurs will have
a chance to figure In three of the six con-
tests. In addition to these there will be
other special handfcaps, SO that the anna

guish between two in suit and three in

read the difference between three and
four immediately, and usually knows
on the first round that his partner has
two only, or a singleton, because the
card played is the lowest he can have.
AS rule, when third hand plays his
second best, on the first round and the
best he holds on the second. If he has a
smaller card il will be SO small that
the dealer can miss it, IL dummy does
not hold il and the dealer does not play

smallest card on the first round, but on
the second that card Usually falls, or
the dealer abandons his effort at con-
cealment of small cards.
Close attention to the fall of the
small cards is most important at no.

ference in the number of spots on two
cards may mean great deal. 1t is an
excellent rule for the beginner to re-
member that when the position of the
highest cards in the suit is known, the
attention should be directed to the low

The plain-suit echo at no-trumps has
one great and immediate advantage to
the leader-it tells him how many of

News of the Mining
Camps of Nevada.

TONOPAH, Oct. 20.-J. w. Travers
of the Round Mountain Nugget, the
weekly paper that was started in that
camp almost at it's inception, is here
and gives most glowing reports of
the work being done at the sensational
camp, fourteen miles from Manhattan
He says that the Wilson placer strike,
while most important discovery and
one that is netting its owner from
$500 to $4,000 a day, is no by means
the only thing in the district The
mines are being developed and Round
Mountain is one OF the few camps IN
Nevada where the development of the
mines more than justifies the business
venture of the adjoining town. Ex
-cept on Saturday night and Sunday,
according to Travers, the streets of
the camp are almost deserted, as all
the men are engaged at the mines and
leases and do not get to town. The
camp is well situated and has wood
and water in abundance close at hand
while the location of the lodges is ideal
for mining purposes. Chapman &
Moore are operating q two-Stamp Gus
tom mill at Shoshone Greek, one mile
from the camp, and at present treating
ore from the Daisy Fraction of the
Round Mountain Virgin Company with
good results. The mill has capacity
of about twenty tons a day on soft
rock, and the extraction obtained is
about 90 per cent or over. Part of the
machinery for the two-stamp mill to
be erected by the Round Mountain
Mining Company is now in the ground
and the rest is expected in few days.
At the Sphinx mine work is going
steadily ahead and the company is now
letting leases on tho ground below the
mine in the wash. Good indications of
placer values have been obtained here.
and as soon as machines can be Sc
cured work will start here. The Round
Mountain Cahill Company, which is
operating just to the southeast of the
Fairview ground, has made another
strike. The property is cut by a ledge
that carries remarkably high values in
silver and have recently unearthed a
new ledge that also runs high in that
metal.

ACTIVE WORK AT BLAIR.
Townsite Laid Out and Buildings Are
Being Erected.

ToNOPAH, Oct. 20.-The new town
at Silver Peak. Blair, is the cen
ter of attraction just at present. Now
that the railroad is completed and
landing supplies in the town, no less
than fifteen local business men are en-
gagged in building branch houses there.
The first train carried 500 tons of lum
Der. pipe and cement into the town,
and the demand for material is active.
One hundred men are engaged in grad
ing the site for the 100-stamp mill that
the Pittsburg Silver Peak Company is
building, and the contracts and speci-
fications for the plant itself are now
in the hands of the engineering firms.
1t is stated that the last of the bids
will be received in ten days and the
contracts let at once. A four-inch
water main is being laid at Blair and
will be in place soon, supplying both
town and mill. The Western Union is
building a line into the town, and the
application for a postoffice has been
made. In sixtyfive days railroad has
been constructed and freight hauled
over it's whole twenty miles. A town.
site has been laid out and many of the
lots sold. Effinger believes that this
week will see 800 people at work at
Blair and at least twenty substantial
buildings, besides many smaller ones,
will be in course of construction.

Machinery for the VaIcalda Mine VIII
BE InntalIed Without Delay.

TONOPAH. Oct 2o.-M. ]. O'Meara
of the O'Meara-Lynoh Company has
returned from the company's Silver
Peak property, the Valcalda. Work
on the mill site at the mine is
going steadily ahead. and General Man
ager Curtis Knight is employing all the
men that can find working room. The
first shipment of machinery has been
made from Denver and should arrive
here before long. It will be hauled
to the mine and the installation begun
at once The electric power will be
turned on at the Valcalda this week,
as the mining machinery. the compress
sor, etc, are ready for work. The de-
velopment of the mine is still showing
up the Frank vein as a tremendous ore
body fully capable of keeping the ten
stamps at work day and night for
months to come. The pump and engine
are now on their way to the spring
from which the water supply for the
mill will come and will be in opera
ton in short time. O'Meara is greatly
pleased with the work that has been
done and believes that the Valcalda
will make a second Blair mine when
il is fully developed.

Trick 1-B begins his plain-suit echo

has the ace he cannot have either 10
or g. but If he has not the ace he must
have either 10 or or no more.
Trick Although he may think his
partner has the ace of diamonds, A
must follow the rule and continue with
one Of the second and third best both
of which he holds. If A fails to do this
the dealer wins the game in a walk.
When the fails, A knows that the
dealer must hold both A and 10, be-
cause if the was BIS second best and
he plays a better card on the second
round he can have only one other card
which must be smaller than either; In
this case the deuce. If B had held A, g.

cause II he had held the ace he would
have gone. as dummy's clubs must

would not have led the on the second

With regard to the dealers play, the
student will see that rs best chance ia
win the game is TO hold off the dia-

If he wins the first or second roun4
OF that suit he risks everything on
catching the K of clubs. If the club
