Inside JOltS Turned Trick.
BY W. w. NAUGHTON.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-The Sui
liVan-Gans contest ended IN the fifteenth
round last night. with Sullivan fiat on
his back, and his head resting on the
lower rope OF the ring
Near him stood Cans, glancing alter
nately at his PROSTATE opponent and at
Timekeeper HaTting. who marked the
passing of each second with a sweep
of his arm and a roar which could be
heard above the din Of the fight-crazed
crowd. Between Cans and Sullivan
stood Referee Welch.
When Harting pronounced the fell
word out Welch slapLed Cans on the
shoulder. the official way OF denoting
to whom the victory belongs. The
crowd clambered into the ring. Sullivan
was lifted and carried to his corner. and
another pUgilistic event passed into
history.
Cans Too Clever for Him.
1t was bitter fight-one in which the
winner displayed rare cIeverness and the
loser pluck of the unfaltering kind. At
the outset Cans went at his min as
though bent on achieving distinction as
the winner of the shortest battle on
record. He used his right freely and

was seen that Sullivans stature ami
reach gave him a distict advantage
Not that he struck the greater number
OF blows. but rather that his ranginess
prevented Cans from landing with fun
force.
By the time the third round was in
fun swing Cans had discovered IL was

The Deadly Short Hook.

So rapid was the colored fellows at

One harder than the rest-it was a
right hander-sent Sullivan down on his
back. His head caught on the lower
rope and he Law at full length. the

and shook hands with him. The colOred

credit for a clean and gritty fight.

ATTORNEY FARNAM LOCATES
IN GoLDFIELD, AS THE HUB

Henry M. Farnam. prominent attor-
ney of New York and Minneapolis, has
located in Goldfeld where he will fol-
low his profession. Mr.. Farnam has
a the benefit OF rs years experience
as a corporation lawyer n a more gen.
eral practice. He Is very enthusiastic
over the prospects of Southern Nevada.
He has taken an active part in various
mining ventures all through the United
states and is at present heavily inter-
ested in Colorado. Speaking of Gold
field he said to The News: 1T find that
but few people throughout the east re-
alize the immensely of the mineralized
zone in Nevada. In writing to friends
I have been making this comparison for
their enlightenment. The mineral belt
of Nevada which I consider as the ter
ritory lying between the Ia Francisco
range to the east in Utah and the
Sierras on the California side is as large
as the whole of New England. 1t is also
as large as Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, West
Virginia and Kentucky combined, and
equals Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Mr.. Farnam has stepped deliberately
from his large eastern practice as a re-
suit of careful investigation because he
believes Nevada and particularly Gold
field offers better opportunities to
all classes than any other part of the
country. ~Singularly enough he is bas-
ing his expectations not. as so many
do, on mining alone. He says that the
next few years will open more oppor-
t~unities in agriculture. horticulture and
~railroading than We at present can re-

WORK ON
KANSAS-G0LDFIELD
Colorado Engineer Arrives 20 Throw
Dirt In lns Montsxums District
Thinku the Country
Looks Good

Mr.. Steven I. Grant of Denver. q well
known mining engineer OF 20 years
standing in Colorado. arrived in Cold
field this week in the interest of the
Ransas-Goldneld Mining & Milling COM
pany of Junction City. Kas. Mr.. Grant
has been made manager OF this COM
pany, which owns property In the
Montezuma district, and he mas come
into the camp with the intention of
commencing active development work.
The company owns two claims known as
the Iron Hat No. 4 and s. These claims
are situated one mile from the Brick
Yard springs, Montezuma, in the hills
to the right OF the springs. On Monday
last Mr.. Grant let a contract for a So
foot shaft and work was Immediately
started. The shaft is being put down
between a quartz ledge and lime con-
tact. The surface runs from So to s12.
Mr.. Grant reports hat there is con-
siderable work going on in the Monte
yuma district in the immediate neigh
borhood of his properties. On the
Nevada claim in n Is called the
Thompson camp, adjoining the Iron
Hat No. s, there are two shafts, both of
which are over 100 feet in depth. Work
has been suspended on these shafts
pending the arrival of a power hoist. On
the Apex claim in the immediate vicin-
ity, there is a 75-foot shaft in porphy-
retic quartz. Drifting is being done on
this claim to cut the ledge.
Mr.. Grant is very well pleased with
the Montezuma country, although as
yet he says he has not become entirely
familiar with its formation. He says
he likes the formation of the hills on
the east side of the springs. where the
vein matter seems to be in place. 1t is
his opinion that the operators there
must get under the eruptive rock on the
surface where they will find sulphide
carrying good values. He say that
there is plenty of hematite of iron, as
good as any he has ever seen in any
camp in the country.
The Kansas Goldfeld Mining & Mill
ing company is oficered by Junction
City, Kansas, people. The officers are
j. B. COLLEEN, president; ]. w. Grant, vice
president; J.. f. Brown, secretary and
treasurer, all of Junction City; with
M. d. Peeso, of Junction City, and John
III. Smith, of Denver, directors. The
company is abundantly supplied with
money and will thoroughly exploit its
ground.

NEW THEATER AND
SKATING RINK PROJECTED

1t now seems as If the demand for
legitimate amusement which until this
time has been lamentably short in Gold
field is about to be supplied to a degree
of excellency equal to anything in the
west. A theater, auditorium, skating
rink, swimming pool and cafe combined
has been promised the camp within the
next 80 days. The projectors ave been
quietly at work and have completed each
particular before giving the public
news of the enterprise. A plot of
ground 90x1OO feet which is situate
~diagonally opposite the p~ostoffice on the
corner of Hall and Columbia streets has
been secured and a building of the same
dimensions and two stories in height
will be erected. The first floor will con-
tain a swimming tank 45x75, bowling
alley, business offices and a promenade
foyer. Above this a m~azzanine floor
will overlook the swimming tank. Here
will be located a first class cafe. No bar
will exist; wines and liquors to be
served with meals. Private dining rooms
are also included in the plans and an or
chestra will be stationed on this floor.
he second floor proper will be pro-
vided with a maple floor for roller skat-
ing and skates of the latest steel ball
bearing type will be included in the
equipment. The stage will have an
oIening of Rs /. ct and a depth of % feet
perfectly appointed. A patent portable
opera chair has been selected a. the best
for all purposes. This chair insures by
a patent device an un~obstructed view
from all parts of the house. Only first
class attractions will be presented. The
seating capacity will approach 1,400.
A brass and concert will be given each
evening from the front balcony and the
band will play daily afternoon and even

will be between $3.50 and 100000.

amusement centers will furnish a new
phase to life in Southern Nevada.
