"Kid'' Herman Is Doing a New
Stunt in Training Line.
Chicago Fighter Climbs 400
Feet Out of Mines.
UNDERGROUND DAILY.
Has Privilege of Going Through
Schwab'ss TOnopah Property.
Arena Getting in Shape for the
Contest With Cans.

Tonopah, New, Dec. st is an old
saying that when in Rome do as Ro-
mans do and Kid Herman showed
that he is a believer in the saying.
The world knows that Tonopah is a
mining camp and that the people in
this country are all more or less inter-
esteG- in producing fortunes from the
big chutes that -underly this camp.
About the first thing that the kid
didsWllen he hit the camp was to out
ut In miners boots and hat and start
In to talk mines. Now part of the daily
recreation of Chieago's good little fight
er is to go underground in the mines
and wander about watching the men
at work. Today Herman and Lewis
were granted a privilege that is ac-
corded few persons. They were taken
through the workings of the Tonopah
extension mine, the property which is
owned by Sehwab of steel fame, and
were presented with a goodly number
Of T1ch specimens of ore from the high
grade Veins.
F. Herman was lowered to the 400-f foot
level first and taken through the work
ihgss there. The guide for the party
was about to ring for the cage to take
them to higher level when Herman
espied ladder and asked what it was
Tor He was told that it was a 100
loot ladder that led to the level above.
That for me-" said the kid" as he
started to climb. The little fellow TOLL
ed up the long ladder to the next level
and decided that it was such good ex-
ercfse that he insisted on elm bling from
level to level until he had covered the
400 feet to the surface The kid says
he means to combine work with educa-
stion from now on and will visit all the
mines that have long ladders not only
to learn all he can about mining but to
get the exercise of climbing as we'll.
Herman Jared the sporting public
of the camp today when he came into
the gym in a strait jacket. The kid"
got the idea of using the jacket from
watching his friend Harry Houdini
work his way out Of his canvas bounds
Houdini mentioned to Herman that he
thought it a good idea for him to try
the jacket as flesh reducer. The sug-
gestion was taken and from now on the
Chieagoan will have the Jacket as an
adjunct to his training apparatus.
Herman was on the road for eight
miles with Trainer Ryan this morning
and went for an automobile ride just
after lunch,
Cans should. arrive no later than
tonight The arena is now taking
shape and will be ready in good time
for the contest.
