There Will BE
BATTLE ROYAL
NOVEL EVENT IN CONNECTION
WITH FIGHT ON DECORA-
TION DAY.

There will be a battle royal as a
preliminary to the Hart-Schreck fight
on Decoration Day.
Do you know what a battle royal
is?
No, but it has good sound.
Well, Promoters Johnson and
Brown are going to hang up purse
for which a number of negroes will
contest. The contestants all go in
to the ring together, and proceed
to bang the life out of one another.
The coon that lasts the longest gets
the purse.
Now, the way that things have oc-
Cured in other battle royals has
been that the coons "jest' look about
to see which is the hardest looking
scrapper, and as general thing they
all pile on to that sucker" and
pound the life out of him, meantime
each taking a crack at anything that
looms up near him in the shape OF
a woolly head
1t may occur that the poorest in
the bunch will last the longest, but
that doesn't always occur. But the
fight promises great sport, and there
will be more black legs going
through the ropes than few. They
can do almost anything but bite and
kick, and If the referee isn't look
ing they can kick just little bit.
The man who stands up the long
est, will be hailed as the champion
but that will be reputation that he
will have to preserve against al
corners every time the DarktowI
Club meets on the diamond, or any
where else. But the youngsters art
all getting ready for the fray.
The main event will be called a
4 o'clock in the afternoon, and thu
men will be ready to step into thu
ring at that hour, so that there will
be no delay. The question of thu

RAILROAD IS
MAKING PROGRESS
"BORAX" SMITHS ENGINEER IN
RHYOLITE LOOKING FOR
TERMINALS

RHYoLITE, New, May 16.-The
"Borax" Smith extension of the
Santa Fe, which is building nortn
from the Greenwater district, with
Rhyolite as an objective point, not
only will make the potential millions
of "Borax" Smith a reality, but will
open up an entirely new country
one that has been practically a sealed
book by reason of the inaccessibility
OF the southern end of Death valley.
Chief Engineer Ryan of the Borax
Smith railroad, who is now in Rhyo-
lite looking over the ground for the
terminals of the road and who has
been with Smith in his enterprises
for the past thirty years, discussed
the opening of the new country and
"Borax" Smiths ideals frankly, to-
gether with the results that the build
ing of this road will have upon the
Southern country.
Said Engineer Ryan: Il have
been with Smith since he first con-
ceived the proposition of the borax
company. l know the truth of the
story that the only reason that Smith
now controls the Lila c mine and
other great deposits was because he
won out in a race for the claim by
travelling night as well as day, while
his rivals camped along the road.
The story is a true one.
when the great wagons, with
their 20-mule team first began to
haul out the borax it took thirty
five days to make the round trip from
the mines to the railroad and Smith
constantly fretted over the delays.
1T was as far back as the first
shipment of borax that this road was
planned, and at that time we never
conceived the idea of gold mines.
"The discovery of gold in the Bull
frog district brought the question OF
the road to head and Rhyolite was
picked out as an objective point.
"The road now is nearing compile
ton. Within ninety days the last
tie and rail will be laid and trains
will be running directly from Sar
Francisco and Los Angeles.
1--WE are expecting to do an i'm
mense amount of freighting to and
from the Southern Nevada mining
country. The opening of the gives q
short road to Los Angeles and Sar
Francisco and we will be able to put
goods into Rhyolite in way to com
pete strongly with the Salt Lake &
Southern Pacific and will also be II

especially after the building Of thu
smelter in Los Angeles.
"That there will be plenty of or
and borax to haul goes without say

BREAKS
silence.
CHIEF WITNESS AGAINST MOYER
AND HAYWOOD TALKS
TO PRESS.

BOISE, Idaho, May 16.-Harrv
Orchard, the chief witness of the
state against Meyer and Haywood.
for the first time today broke his
long silence and discussed himself
and his Imprisonment with an Asso-
ciated Press representative. One of
the conditions of the interview was
that the case would not be discussed.
Orchard said he had been well
treated; that absolutely no threats
or force had been made to secure
any statement from him. His man
ner and conversation strongly con-
firmed the assertion that he had been
re-converted to Christian religion.
During the examination of tales
men in the Haywood case eleven
talesmen were examined before
satisfactory juror was secured. The
defense peremptorialy challenged
one young farmer who admitted that
he had taken dinner with a deputy
sheriff and discussed the case with
him. The jury as it now stands sub
ject to peremptory challenges, con-
sists of six farmers, one each of a
carpenter, a coal dealer, mining
broker, real estate dealer, retired
merchant and one whose occupation
is not given.

port more than $1OO,O00,OOO worth
of ore blocked out in the Bullfrog
district alone.
Besides that. there are the mines
of Greenwater, of Lee and of the
Death valley country.
I'm this / have not counted our
own borax. There are more than a
billion tons of borax in the valley
which belongs to Smith, and every
ton of it is worth $100.
1T is this supply, now that he has
the means OF marketing it readily,
that makes Borax Smith the richest
man in the world, for he not only
can control the borax market at any
time, but his supply is practically in
exhaustible.
1T was the immensity of these
borax deposits that made it possible
for him to make the cuts and fills in
the Greenwater country that he did
in some places at the cost of more
than $4,000 a mile for grading
alone
"Rhyolite will be the distributing
point for the line, for it is there that
the junction with the other roads in
the state will be made and from there
most of the distributing orders tc
