RENO BIDS FOR Fight GAME

RENO. July 23.-Plans for a
worlds championship to be held
here on Labor day are assuming
definite shape. Members of the
sporting fraternity and the repre-
sentative business men of Reno have
formed the Reno Athletic club and
James May was elected president.
The plans so far call for a great
lightweight battle between Joe Cans
and the winner OF the Britt-Nelson
go and to make the occasion one of
great sporting interest that the at
tention of the whole world will be
drawn to Reno.
The capitalization of the club viii
be 100000 and all but a small por-
tion of the stock has already been
subscribed. President May has Of
fered the grounds at Moana Springs
on which to erect an arena and
which can also be used as the train
ing quarters for one of the men. He
left yesterday for San Francisco to
lay the offer of the Reno club be-
fore the three managers of the fight
ers concerned. A purse of $4,000
will be offered and every cent will
be put up in the bank before the
fight. $4,000 has already been put
up here as an evidence of good faith
on the part of the Reno promoters.
Cans has given his consent to a
fight in Reno with the winner of the
Britt-Nelson go and it is believed
that the consent of Willis Britt and
Billy Nolan will be secured this week.
Joe Egan, formerly connected with
James j. Jeffries, is the secretary of
the club and he will open club Of
fees at once here. The club officials
state that there must be a knockout
in the coming fight if it can be ar
ranged for Labor day and that the
| gate money will be refunded II one
of the men does not hit the mat for
the count of ten. If the lightweight
battle can be arranged and pulled off
| successfully. it is the intention of the
club to hold a series of worlds
championships from the heavyweight
elias down.

BOUND over BY The
COURT.

GOLDFIELD, July 24.-M. J,
Smith, the assayer accused of receiv-
ing stolen ore, was bound over to the
district court in bonds of $1,000 to-
day. The case has occupied the at
tention of Justice Henley all week
and the counsel for the defense has
tried hard to have the case dismissed
on the grounds that it had not been
proven that Smith stole the ore.
The case against the two Lutzen-
wiser brothers, charged with the
same offense. will be called today
and the ground will be gone over
that occupied the court in the Smith
case.

IS GUILTY OF HIGH-GRADING

The case of the state against John

grading from the Mizpah, was tried
yesterday before Judge O'Brien. BY
noon the jury has been accepted and
the testimony and arguments were
heard in the afternoon. South was
eleven sacks of high grade ore were
found in his cabin. The miner had
worked at the Mizpah for five months
and he made a voluntary confession
generating the two men arrested
with him.
Officer Carberry testified as to
having made the arrest and the find
ing of the eleven sacks in his cabin.
w. H. Blackburn, superintendent of
the Tonopah Mining company, was
the next witness and he testified to
examining the ore and sampling It
while in the justice court. The total
weight of the eleven sacks was 1891
pounds and the value of the ore was
$433.99. Mr.. Blackburn said that
he had charge of the underground
workings of the company's property
and that he was familiar with the
ore in the Mizpah, He identified the

BIG STRIKE ON
The HAYSEED
PROPERTY IN THE LEE DISTRICT
SHOWS UP SOME RICH
ORE.

A big strike on the Hayseed mine
of the Lee district, is the latest re-
port from Rhyolite, to which place
the news was brought by ]. P. Nell
son, the vice-president and superin-
tendent of the property. The Lee
district has been much in the public
eye of late on account of the rich
Developments made there. 1t is a
gold country and the values have
been running pretty high.
The Hayseed, which is owned
nearly entirely by Rhyolite parties,
is, SO far, the big thing in the dis
trict, just as the Mizpah is in this
district, or the Mohawk in Goldfield.
1t was bought in last March by the
present owners, the purchase price
being nearly 100000. At that time
they were down thirty-fve feet, and
they were sacking shipping ore. They
are now down to the 500 level and
are still sacking.
What the new strike amounts to is
not known, but that IL is something
big is argued from the fact that the
mine has been in shipping ore all
the time, and it would require some
thing out of the ordinary to excite
any comment.
A. l.. Lidwell, who is one of the
owners in the mine, is at present in
Tonopah, but he has not learned any
of the particulars of the find, further
than he has heard, as has everybody
else, that the find has been reported.
/ 1T must have been an increase in
the values at the 300,' said he, for
the ore has been getting better all
the time, and we have never been
out of shipping rock since we made
the purchase at which time the shaft
was but thirty-fve feet deep. The
ledge on the surface shows for a
width of 100 feet, and on each side
of the rich shoot we have milling ore,
and as yet have not struck either
wall.
From the 100 foot level we have
drifted 200 feet and are in good rock
all the way. We have a 25-horse
power hoist, and have been working
pretty fast since we started. We are
figuring on putting in a mill, for
which we have to pipe water about
four miles. When | left there about
two weeks ago, the Borax Smith
road was within thirty-five miles OF
us, and they will run a spur to tbs
mine, which will mean a distance Of
between three and four miles. We
raised for the purchase of the mine
last March 800, 90 in about two
hours in Rhyolite. and the entire
cost was short of 5000, 900; and the
property was well worth it. The of
ficers and directors of the company
; are: Tom Lindsay, president; J. p
Nelson, vice president and superin
tendent; S. j. Hernstead, secretary
o. o. Kincaid, treasurer; ]. A. Lar
! gent, Mr.. Webster and myself. Their,
are a good many of the Rhyolite boy
interested. among others being Tay

When couples are kept together as

not protect the sanotity OF the home
as American anti-divorce sentiment
seeks 70 protect it. The reason why
divorced persons are under a ban in
the United States is not so much be-
cause they are divorced as it is be-
cause OF the previous misbehavior Of
which the divorce is merely the result
and the sign. When the Catholic
church works against divorce It earn
estly tries to reconcile the husband
and wife, to induce the man to stop
