The Town is the Scene of Bio
Excitement

Word comes from Ramasey of an
other great strike 1t was made IN
the Bennett claims by the Ramsey
Bonanza Company in the west drift
run from No. 2 shaft. They broke
into a strong ledge Saturday and now
the entire face is in rich ore and the
width of the ledge not yet ascertaineo.
No assays returns are yet available
but the panings show free gold in
such quantities that the ore will go
into the hundreds.
The ledge is a we'll defined contact
vein with every indication of going
deeper and there is already rush on
and ground all about is being rapidly
taken up.
The town is now full of people
stalking claims and looking for invest
ments and this being the third rich
strike within the last few days the
success of the Ramsey district is as
sured
It has also stimulated work On
other claims and capital is coming IN
and arranging to sink deep shafts.
All the claims which are being
worked show better ore with depth
and the veins are widening as they
go down.
Properties are changing hands rap
idly and the influx of new capital has
resulted in a general impetus. There

A CARSON BOYS SUCCESS
Maurice Mclaughlin Enable to Be.
come a Tennis Champion.

Maurice Mclaughlin a Carson rails
ed boy, the son of George McLaugn-
who was once coiner Of the mint, is
becoming the champion amateur ten
mis- player of California The Bulletin
of Saturday has the following.
Young Mclaughlin would not oc-
casion any great surprise if he lands
the title. His match with Murdock
will be watched with great interest,
and should he get passed this veteran
will no doubt take Gardner's measure
if he clashes with him in the semi
finals. Taken all in all, the tourney
has a very open aspect.
The issue IN the doubles is between
George James and Maurice McLaugn-
lin and Charles Foley and Carl Gard
ner. The former team, on the
strength of their showing last Sunday
when they took Percy Murdock and
Reuben Hunt into camp. are conceded
the best of the argument, but can
hardly be looked upon as any pro-
nounced favorites. Foley and Gard
ner are both good at the doubles
games and can be counted upon 20

-FOUR ROUND CONTEST BILL
VETOED
Recommends the PIow Handle al d
Pitchfork for Muscular Devei-
opmens.

This morning the Governor vetoed
the bill which provides for amateur
clubs to pull off four round contests
The reasons he gives in the following
message are very pertinent and his
veto will probably be sustained. The
matter was made a special orde. for
2 o'clock tomorrow,
March, 8. 1907.
To the honorable, the Assembly,
Gentlemen:-I have the honor to re-
turn to your honorable body without
my approval Assembly Bill No. 50,
AN Act 10 permit Athletic Clubs or
over one hundred members ana CT
three months good standing to put
on amateur boxing bouts without
license and certain restrictions relat.
ing to the same.
My objections are that boxing con-
! tests are stepping stones to prize
fighting and are really tl le same IN
detail and results, whether the cass
be amateur or professional, licensed
or free.
In my message to the Honorable
Legislature now convened, I earnestly
recommended the repeal of the prize
/ fight law n force and the enactment
of a prohibitory measure IN its stead
It can hardly be, expected that my
sense Of Justice and consistency will
allow me to lend approval to the Act
proposed. which is almost equally OBJ
jectionable 1t is beneath the dig
nifty and honor Of this State and con-
demned by the sentiment of the peo-
pie in other states of the Union.
We have public schools and educa
cational institutions with instructors
sworn into the service of the State
in which youths are \ instructed n
physical, mental and moral culture,
sufficient for all useful purposes in
life. 1t is natural that clover boxers
are quite likely to develop into prize
fighters who will contribute, nothing
of value to the advancemehN of so
ciety or materially promote the gen
eral welfare of our country.
1t is hard to beat the pitchfork and
plow handle for the development vt
muscle. Respectfully.

A CALIFORNIA CHAP. LAIN
He Gets Funny While Praying ." the
Assembly

Assembly
I'VE regret, oh God, that SO many
come here only to draw pay, draw
corks and draw poker
This was the salutatiOn the assem-
bly, received Saturday morning from
Evangelist Schiver who was invited
to offer the daily prayer. For the first
time since the session opened the
usual buzz that accompanies the ap-
peal to the Almighty was entirely
stopped. The members looked at one
another in blank amaZement.
Having caught the undivided atten-
ton of his hearers, the evangelist
went on and castigated the lower
house for standing with the powers
that make for evil.
I'VE are sorry, he continued, 'that
the anti-race track i'll, anti-prize fight
anti-gambling bill and other measures
that would have helped to raise the
moral standard of the youth of this
state failed to become laws"
Then, as if resigned to the futility
of asking the impossible, Schrivers
closed with the hope that the legisla
ton for the good of the whole people
would be enacted, and prayed that the
spirit might come on the members o1
the sembly.
Assemblyman Baxter says he will
introduce resolution rebuking the
evangelist for criticising the legisla
! tors.
