assist Tex Rickard as manager of af-

Eean in several mining claims. Egan
was manager for Jeffries and he stands
high with sporting men throughout all
America
For this reason his friends here and
the Goldfeld people requested that he

to leave his important interests at this
time. He is a clever manager, and is

cargo, instead of having it lightered from an
anchorage IN the bay, as has been the custom.
When the work of improving the harbor was
begun three years ago. the contract called for
the expenditure of 100000. in round numbers
A great deal of the bottom was dredged and an
immense brealzwator constructed for the prote

The usefulness of the best Larbor, however, is
limited without ample wharf facilities. Commo-
