Scarcity of labor throughout the

1T may not be out of place to say
that recent events in San Francisco

in the advantages to be derived from
the development of its local resources

just as strong as it was before the San
Francisco disaster.
The city will be rebuilt on finer
more attractive and better engineering
plans. The great harbor will continue
to hold and increase its ocean COM
merce; the navigable waters of the Sac

sustain inland navigation. The soil OF
California is as fertile as it was before

and other various natural resources are
just as extensive and valuable

BY FRED e. MuLHoLLAND.

SEATTLE. Sept. S.-If the sentiment
OF the people could find expression in
the great crowd present at The Mea-
dows on closing day, Seattle, after
sixty eight days of sport, has had no
surfeit of racing. Seventeen books
were in line and all did a vast busi-
ness. Each won all the way from $500
to S250O on the day. 1t speaks well
for next year
Joe Harlan, the San Francisco layer,
is the biggest winner of the season
with about $4,000 to the good Ee

Billy Engstrom quits something over
$4,000 ahead. He, together with his
crew, VIII cut in at Louisville later on

$4,000 from the common people.

Tom Bundy. Foley and Adams played
great tennis and at no time were in
danger of losing. The winners PLAYED
steady game and took the match in
three straight sets. The Southern
California players were outpIayed at all
stages of the game and made a poor
showing, considering their class. Foley
was at his best and was easily the
star of the four. Adams played the
best tennis he has put up in months
and gave his partner good support
The score was So, So. 81

The final match of the mixed doubles

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Colonel Will
liam c. Greene said today, referring to
the sensational articles that appeared
in the press of the country last week

ment, having for its object an armed

formation from II Paso, Douglas. Bis

pears certain party. from interested
motives, has been sending out reports
of the massing of revolutionfsts at DIFF
ferent points along the boundary line,
large movements of troops to Aqua
Prieta, fortifying the Custom house at
that place and contemplated attacks on
the Custom house at Nogales.
THE only ground for these reports
has been the OBTAINING by the emigra-
tion commissioners of a few men at
Douglas under the United states emil
grafton law, they having been de-
tanned as an undesirable element.

NEVADA MINES MAY
LURE B. NELSON
FROM RING.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

RENO, Sept s.-Battling Nelson
gave out the first intimation today of
his intention to give up the prize ring
and devote his life to searching for the
yellow metal in the mineral belts of
Nevada. Nelson left tonight for the
Jumbo mining district in company with
a party of prominent mining men OF
Nevada In an interview just prior
to leaving he said he had invested
$4,000 in the Jumbo district and would
personally superintend the develop
ment of his property.
A company will be incorporated
which will probably be called the Bat
Ting Nelson Mining Company. The
capitalization will be $1.000,0oo. j. T..
Degman of Reno and Nelson will thor
oughly inspect the property and on
their return TO Reno will Immediately
incorporate the company, which will
have It's headquarters in this city
Miss Blanche Savoy, who travelled
all the way from Chicago to cheer for
Nelson at the ringside, will also own
some stock in the company, the Bat
tier having agreed to transfer a por-
tion of his stock to her. Nelson was
seen at the depot with J. T. Degman
and Miss Savoy this morning and when
asked If it was true that he was going
to invest in mining properties at Jum-
bo said:
"Yes, I have invested $4,000 in the
property and | believe that l will be
elected president of the company. l
am going to the Jumbo district this
morning with Mr.. Degman to inspect
the claims and try my hand at mining
for the first time. If l am successful
in this venture it means that l will
give up fighting for the less strenuous
life of a miner and VIII seek the re-
mainder of my fortune in the hills of
Nevada. l have seen specimens of the
ore taken from the claims at umbo
and 1 know that the property is valu-
able.
'.I think 1t is worth risking consid-
cradle money on and l intend to take
a chance. Of course, 1T does not mean
my retirement from the ring al this time
but If circumstances become such that
1t would benefit me to enter the min
ing business altogether | will in all
probability retire from the ring"
