DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 31,-Fe-
lipe J%auragui, aged % years, said
to be the son of wealthy parents of
Durango, Mex, and to have been ex-
PEELED from the country for con-
nection with a revolutionary move

He left there six weeks ago and

GREAT ACTIVITY
AT SILVER PEAK
MIR. Il. E. KNAPP SPEAKS MOST
ENTHUSIASTICALLY OF
DISTRICT.

Great activity is being displayed
in the Silver Peak district. Mr.. e..
E. Knapp, who has just returned
from a trip of inspection of the sew
eral properties of which he is gem
eral manager, states that things
never looked better. On the Silver
Peak Blue Jay property a shaft is
down 55 feet on the Lucky Sam
claim. A second shaft has been
started on the Lookout claim. Mr..
Knapp states that he expects that
the hoist will be installed and in
operation on the Lucky Sam shaft
by the LIST of February. On the
Silver Peak and Drinkwater he re-
ports that the work is progressing
f|ayorably. In both the East and
West tunnels the quartz is of a low
grade but it is expected that a rich
shoot will be encountered at any
time now. The company will install
a 5-drill compressor at once in order
to push the work. At the Monitor
lead mine Mr.. Knapp says that three
shifts are working in high grade
ore in the slopes and as oon rs the
roads permit a large shipment will
be made to the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company's plant at Millers. Just
at present the roads are pretty bad,
according to Mr.. Knapp, but he
states that extensive preparations
are being made throughout the sec
ton, and with the moderation of the
weather, an active campaign will be
carried on in this country which is
known to be practically n immense
ore body.
Mr.. Knapp recently went to San
Francisco with Mrs. Knapp and it
was upon his return from the coast
that he made the trip to Silver Peak
district.

JOHN |. IS
POPULAR IDOL

The presence Of John J.. Sullivan in
Baltimore last week arouses many rever-
les of the old warhorso
Fifteen years after he had lost the cham-
pionship 20 Corbctt since when he has
been a dead one 80 far as the fighting
game is concerned, John L. Sullivan pos
sesses an earning capacity equaled by few
men. Sully draws 5000 weols-
ly and three carfares the extra two being
for Frank Han, his manager, and his
spawlng partner. out OF the $500 sumy
has 10 stake both Hail and his sparriuE
PARTNER, leaving him about $3.50 u week to
the good
With the exception Of Jim Corbett it IS
doubtful IL any other fighter could retain
his hold upon popular favor SO long after
dropping out Of the active side of the box
ing game, and IL remains TO be seen
whether Corbett will have as much Of
hold upon the public, say Eve years hence.
There's no denying the attractivenoss Of
Sully's personality. Anyone coming IN
contact WIEN him must be impressed by
mis- bluff honesty and his utter contempt
for anything that aavors Of hypocrisy.
No matter how widely men may differ as
TO his real merits as a puellist they an
agree that ne was always on the level and
above rcsorting TO the mercenary tactics
which have DISTINGUISHED the dealings Of
the majority Of the latter-day fighters.

by means of an assessment board a
