LOS ANGELES TIGHTENs
Fight Game Seems to Be Losing Favor

Los Angeles. CAL March 14.-NIorris Levy
will return to San Francisco without holding the
fight between Joe Cans and Jack tTwin) Sulli-
van, if the mayor signs the ordinance passed
by the council yesterday.
The ordinance fixes one district in the city
where boxing can be held. The pavilion of the
Pacific club of Tom McCarrey is in the eighth
ward. which the ordinance fixes the fighting
limit. McCarrey is at outs with the papers
and judging by the way the Cans Sullivan fight
has been roasted there is strong probability
that it will not take place scheduled next
Friday night. The ordinance, If it becomes eff
fective, also prevents private exhibitions which
are occasionally presented before other clubs.

''In Terry McGovern tonight l meet one of

meet a fighter any time than a boxer. | be-
lleve that. am Terry's superior as puglllst.
for various reasons --
''In the first place, four years younger,
taller and longer in the reach. l never have
been defeated by knockout blow My ply
sique has been abused by the use OF TO-
hacco or drink. I know that l beat the man
who beat Terry decisively on two occasions, and
last, but not least, that will get what Is COM
ing to ME ini the way of attention and care by
the best manager and second in the business
During my career in the ring I have met all
3 kinds of fighters, of them as much as
twenty pounds heavier than l am. Some We're
punchers of the McGovern type and pretty
tough customers. l have been knocked down as
fast as could get up, but always managed to
toe the scratch before the referee counted
ten.

BY Terry McGovern.

''I expect to win tonghts fight with
Knockout In less than six rounds And l say
that without Understanding Battling Nelson at
all. He is the champion. He has never been
knocked out, and he is of the most rugged
men of his weight that ever put on glove.
Still expect to knock him out and bring home
the lightweight championship to Brooklyn, where
1T has not been since Jack McAulfe retired un-
defea ted fourteen years ago.
And here the reasons why expect to
knock Nelson out: stronger and faster
than he is. and 1 hit a great deal harder than
he does. He is at his best in long distance fight.
He has put away firstclass in
quick time; whereas, some Of my best victories
have been quick knockouts.
Nelson's natural gait Is to keep boring in
slowly and steadily, wear his out and then
put him away. He can't change his pace right
eff the reel. He's like a Long distance horse
up against a sprinter in a six-furlong race. The
chances against him.
''My idea is to begin to fight from the sound
Of the gong. I know that that is his style. too,
but intend to carry the battle to him so fast
that he will be swept off his feet

"The investigation of black sands.
authorized by Congress and mentioned
in my last report, was pushed vigor-
ously during the year at Portland, Ore
gon. where exceptional facilities were
offered by the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition. The results of the investiga-
tion have been gratifying and may lead
to the development of an important IN
dustry in the utilization Of the black
sands of the country as source or
gold, platinum. iron ore and some OF
the rare metals. 1t has been shown
that by concentrating the black sands
on concentrators of the shaking-table
class, practically all the values in the
sand can be saved by mechanical
means without the use Of quicksilver;
and 1t is probable that such shaking
tables. which have not heretofore been
used in placer mining. will be added to
the equipment of ordinary hydraulic
and dredge mines in many cases.
platinum in commercial quantities

Australian Gold Output.

Consul General John p. Bray of Mel

gold production for the eight months
ended August 31st amounts, approxi-
mately, to 2,306,532 fine ounces of the
value of about $47.704.S4O, against

an increase of $2s, s,36G,53l over those of

Silver Will Go Higher.

simon Guggenheim yesterday pre-
dicted that silver would reach rs cents
an ounce within short time says the
Denver News
The smelter magnate made the
statement in the course of a conversa-
tion concerning the advance in the
price Of lead. The smelter trust set
ties with the miners of Colorado on
the basis of the New York quotations,
and yesterday lead was quoted in
Gotham at So per 100 pounds, the high
est price ever reached by that metal,
and silver was strong at SO cents an
ounce.
THE advance in the price of lead
amounts to about 25 cents per 100
pounds said Guggenheim. at will be
of very material benefit to the miners
of Colorado, but unfortunately we do
not produce enough lead in this state
to meet the demands of the smelters
The Occur dAlene district in Idaho
produces fully forty per cent. of the
lead mined in this country, and prac.
tically all that immense output Is
brought to this state by the American
Smelling and Refining Company II
we were forced to depend upon the
Colorado mines for our lead supply
we would be compelled to close down
some of our smelters. The sulphide
producers of Lake county and the San
Juan region are very material factors
in the states prosperity. and of course
the advance in lead will benefit them
substantially.
Lead will probably remain at SO
for some time, but Colorados miners
are much more vitally concerned about
the outlook for silver. The white me-
tai was quoted in New York to-day at
60 cents. believe it will reach rs
cents within reasonable time. The
foreign demand and the purchases by
our own government seem to assure
this advance.
IAN increase of cents an ounce in
the price OF silver will give the min
ing industry of this state n tremendous
impetus. 1t means the opening up OF
some mines now closed, and a great
increase in the output of the old stand
bys that have weathered so many
storms since the dark days of 1898"
