READY TO PRODUCE
(Soripps News Association

CALUMET, Mich, March 5. -
Within few days another mine
will be added to the list of produc-
ing copper properties in the Lake
Superior copper district. 1t is ex-
pected that the Victoria mine in
Ontonagon county, will start treat
ing its rock in its new stamp mill

mill is so by $50 feet, ground d.
mansions, and contains one head
with daily capacity of $50 tons of
rock. A railroad connects the mill
with the mine, which is 1890 feet
distant, and as the grade is from
six to II per cent, the loaded rock
cars will draw the empties ND the
greater part of the way back to the
mine. A stationary engine is at the
upper end of the road and will
facilitate the work.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5. -
Harry Tenny's death is the result
Of a double knockout at the hands
of frankie Neil Wednesday night is
apt to sound the knell Of prize
fighting in this neck of the woods.
Following as 1t does upon the heels
of the GansBritt scandal, the re-
cent death Of Alec DOWN at Colma
and the fight trust fiasco. it comes
as the final straw to the already
breaking camel's back of adverse
sentiment.
With a turf scandal of huge pro-
portions brewing in Los Angeles,
the police crusading with almost
puritanical zeal against all forms
of gambling, and press, pulpit and
populace denouncing nearly all
forms of professional sport, it looks
as if the Pacific coast were about
to take down its sign of THE
Sports Paradise" and greet the
gentry with another that will read
mo Thoroughfare."

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo,
March 5.-Work was begun today
on the highest railroad bridge in
the world. 1t is to be built across
the top of the famous Royal gorge,
near this city. 1t will be $500 feet

Denver and Rio Grande railroad

the roaring of the Arkansas river

powerful stream will look like a

For the first time during the
present indoor baseball series the
Fastidios have been beaten. Up to
yesterday they thought no team
could win from them. But with
the Highlanders playing good
game and the spectators yelling for
them they won from the invincible
Fastidios. This is exactly what
the other teams wanted, for it
places two teams on an even basis
and puts more enthusiasm in the
run for the pennant.
The game was good one. First
one team would be ahead and then
the other. Up to the last inning
1t was any teams game. Much
kicking was done over decisions.
The Indians won easily from the
tail-enders. The photographers
made five runs in the first and one
during the rest of the game.
