JACK JOHNSON
MAY Meet THE
TONOPAH WINNER

TONOPAH, New, May 2S.--Never
in the history of Nevada pugilism
have two men trained more earnestly
than Mike Schreck and Marvin Hart
and the regulations of promoters w.
S. Johnson and Abe Brown will not
suffer as their prediction and guar
antee will surely come true that the
coming fight will turn out the great
est ever staged in this state.
In all likelihood Jack Johnson, the
much feared colored heavyweight
champion, will be given the July 4th
date with the winner of this fight.
Bill Squiers is now hooked up to
fight Tommy Burns and Jim .Jeffries
in a supplementary statement issued
at Los Angeles yesterday positively
announces his retirement from the
ring. The following is Jim Jeffries
statement, despite the libelous mis-
information sent out by California
scribes. with view of injuring the
Nevada fighting game, actuated by
jealousy
81 will not consider the $4,000
purse offered me by Tonopah pro-
moters to fight Bill Squiers or any
other heavyweight. | have given un
the game for good and have said 1t
so many times now that | should be
believed"
Jeffries should now be left in
peace and will not further be both
cred by Promoters Johnson and
Brown.
The report that Goldfield will en-
ter into opposition to the Tonopah
July 4th date is most likely another
mistake. Tex Rickard is too good a
sport to run in opposition to his
neigbbors, as it is well known that
two fights on the same date would
mean a frost to both
An amicable agree ment will be
reached satisfactory to both sides
whereby Tonopah will go ahead with
its July 4th date and Tex Rickard
will be supported for a Labor Day
date, if he chooses to hold fight on
that day.
The advance sale will be placed
tomorrow and from all Indications a
packed house will greet the fighters

COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL
NAME PUBLICITY COMMITTEE

The Commercial club meeting was
attended by somewhat smaller
crowd last night than has been the
case at previous meetings, probably
because of the interest which the
coming election has aroused, and
which is engaging the attention of
majority of the voters in the town.
The committee on waterworks re-
ported that there ale now four cars
of pipe on the way for the Ely water
works system, and that every effort
is being made to hurry the pipe into
the town.
The club voted to pay the seere-
tary, d. w. Ellis. who has been one
of the moving factors in the club, and
who has done a great deal of ener-
getic work for the organization, a
salary of $50 per month. The exc
cutive committee will meet within
the week, and will make an appro-
priation to cover the rental of the
mining stock exchange for the time
that building has been used by the
club.
The executive committee also an
nounced the appointment of Attorney
S. d. Crump as the orator of the day
for the Memorial day exercises.
A publicity committee will be ap-
pointed by President Witcher during
the week. to prepare suitable adver
tisng matter to describe Ely's great
ness.
The legal committee reported that
the election commission, in their
opinion, was i'll absolute power in the
matter OF the coming election, and
that it is not necessary to place d
ticket in the field, but that the voters
may vote for any citizen whom they
wish to elect to any Office. The ma
jority report was signed by Attor-
neys B. w. Coleman, C. r. Reeves
Charles r. Walker and S. D. Crump
