GIANTS TO PLAY
ANGELS TODAY
BERRY ARRANGES GAME FOR
THIS AFTERNOON
Big Jim Jeffries VIII Umpire, and
Mathewson or Ames VIII
Twlrl for the East
erners

With the New York Giants lined up
against Berry's fast aggregation of ball
tossers this afternoon at Chutes park,
and Big Jim Jeffries calling balls and
strikes, Los Angeles fans should be
out in force.
Manager Berry was decidedly pleased
last night when arrangements were
completed for the game. The Giants
met bunch of stormy weather at San
Francisco and were forced to return
to the sunny south without crossing
bats with the northerners. They were
scheduled to appear at Chutes park
yesterday afternoon, but were delayed
and the game today was arranged in
stead,
Either Mathewson or Ames, two of
the greatest pitchers in the world, will
be in the box for the Giants. AS both
men have been doing considerable
practice work and feel in condition to
put up winning ball in the great league
games of the east, it will be worth
while to see them serve Zigzags over
(and all around) the plate for the An
gels to hit at.
Berrys men, however, have been do
ing great stick work of late and 1t
would be no surprise to see them dupli-
cate the trick of few days ago when
they took the fasteners measure.
But anyway, there will be great
ball game. If the clouds do not weep
and the chances are that they won't,
the umpire will yell "Play ball!" at 3
o'clock.

FIGHT PROMOTER
STRIKES IT RICH
HAS MINES OF HIGH GRADE
ORE
Declares Country In Charleston Moun-
talns Has Only Been Prospected,
and Predicts Great Develop
ments In Future

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, March 1S.-Fred
c. Skinner, the man who startled the
sporting world by dropping into Los
Angeles with a 100000 purse for
Jeffries-Squires match has struck it
rich again in the. Charleston noun
tains of Nevada.
He returned to Rhyolite this week
after a ten days trip into the noun
tain with ore that will run eight
ounces in silver and 40 per cent lead.
His claims were not located by him
self but were purchased for $4,000
from the original locator.
What makes the property of partic-
ular value is that it is above the tim
ber line of the Charleston mountains.
has seven mining claims and eighty
acres of patented ground and has two
springs that have been developed until
in the hottest part of summer they
are good for a flow of twenty inches
of water.
Interested with Mr.. Skinner is John
r. Mcdonald of the Dorr- Mcdonald
interests and a company already has
been formed to develop the property.
Skinner has let a contract to sink
15O-foot shaft on the property and
cross-cut the ledges, which are forty
leeC WluS'
In speaking of the property Skinner
said: 1.-THE fact that we have timber
and water on our land gives us every
thing that can be desired and we will,
of course, put up our own concen-
traitor as soon as we have enough ore
blocked out and put on the dumps to
last us for years running of the mill.
"The country in the Charleston
mountains, like that of the Panamints,
has only been prospected, not opened,
and when all the new districts finally
are opened up there will be a mining
boom in this country that the east
cannot conceive of.
"In the Bullfrog district alone there
Is more than 100000, 900 worth of ore
blocked out, according to the Schwab,
Guggenheim and Clark estimates.
What will happen when the whole
country is opened up and the Lee,
Echo. Ibex, Johnnie. Greenwater and
Charleston countries begin to ship?
Nevada will turn out more gold
than will Alaska or Australia and will
closely approach the record set by
South Africa, for the lodges of this
state have not begun to be uncovered" I"

FORTUNE IN DESERTED CLAIM
Ontario Man Strikes Gold in Alaska
FieIds-His Wealth Is Not
Known
Special to The Herald.

SpeClal TO IHe 11eTdlu.
VASSAR, Mich. March 1S.-Albert
e. Little arrived here direct from
Alaska, where he has been for the last
six years. He will visit his brother
Fred of this place for some time, when
he will take the back trail
His story shows what may be ac-
complished in the gold country. He is
wealthy.
He was born in Atwood, Ont, where
he resided with his parents until 20
years of age, when he left home and
made a tour of the southern states.
Not finding what he wanted he re-
turned to Ontario, and on January 6,
1898, he started for the Flondike At
Victoria, B. c., he was Joined by his
brother William, and together they
went to Alaska. Arriving at Skaguay
after a stormy voyage they purchased
their dog outfits and started overland
for Dawson City. The thermometer
registered 6S degrees below zero, and
they nearly perished in getting there,
having lost part of their dog outfit by
the intense cold. Finally they reached
Dawson City and started out to pros
pect.
For the first year they found no
wealth, and were fast becoming dis
couraged. when Albert one day CHANGED
to be digging on an old abandoned
claim that had been staked out by
two Italians, who, not discovering gold
in paying quantities. had abandoned it.
Albert found it rich and soon struck
the main vein, and in one day the
brothers panned over $500 in six hours.
Soon after they had a gang of men
working, when the two Italians came
along and demanded to be treated as
partners, but after a warm fight they
were shaken Off" One of them after
ward attempted to assassinate Albert,
but failed and was captured and given
a term of years in Jail.
Mr.. Little's father died while he was
in Alaska, and though a telegram was
sent apprising him of the fact, it was
five weeks before he got it.
Mr.. Little has mining claims in Co
bait, Ont, which fields he says are
rich and nearly the equal of Alaska.
William, his brother, is now on his
way home, and will arrive here in a
short time.
The wealth of Mr.. Little can hardly
be placed, but it is not far from half
million. From May to August, in 1905,
they made a clear gain of $6500O from
the mine, which is in Survey No. II,
near Fairbanks.

chased a book on wrestling, uled the
holds on my brother, and within a year
was good enough to give second iater
an argument.
1 kept on practicing until had
learned enough about the fine points OF
the game to take a trip away from
home. I tackled a number of second
raters, and before 1 was aware Of 1t L
was a top-notcher.
Then / went after Tom jenkins, the
champion but he beat me after a three
hour struggle. After a few more
matches, in one of which 1 evened up
score with Mr.. Reynolds, I hiked 1t to
Alaska, where under an assumed name,
l worked in the mines about six weeks
and finally landed my fish, a fellow
named Swanson who was considered the
best wrestler in those parts. The match
was for the largest amount of money
ever wrestled for in this any other
country-$11, 900 a side and the gate re-
ceipts, and one fall to take all the
money.
Swanson gave me a good argument,
but pinned his shoulders to the mat i'll
eighteen minutes.
The winning of the match made me
hero with the sports, and, being big
and strong and fast on my feet, they
thought l would be able to put up
good fight. 1 told them 1 had a slight
smattering of the fistic game and would
not mind taking a crack at some Dig
fellow, provided he was not a cracker
jack
So they went after that good old "has
been,' Frank paddy Slavin, to give
me tryout. Now, I knew Frank was
a good one in his day, but considered
he was "all in," that could beat him,
and earn a reputation as fighter.
Well, we fought, or, 1 should say. he
fought, as 1 acted the role of chopping
block. / went along nicely in the first
round, and that is all L remember.
They told me week later that the po-
lice stopped it in the seventh round,
but it might have been in the second or
third for all 1 remembered of it.
do 1 ever intend to take up pugil-
ism, did you ask? Well, I'll speak to
pa about it,"

Polytechntc team, has shown herself TO
be very able player in all the games

Jail Sentence Changed to Fine.

The city's sense of things rea]
aud rational was shocked yester.
day afternoon when Judge Fergu.
son sentenced Coloney Leroy
Davidson, a descendant of the
signers and a well-known broker
of Charlotte, to the county jail
for a peroid of 30 days upon con.
viction in four cases for selling
and keeping on hand too much
whiskey. Owing to the prom
inence of the defendant. little
thought was entertained other
than that he would be dismissed
with the payment of a bill of costs
and some small fine, but Judge
Ferguson concluded that the de-
PENDANTS standing rather mill
tated against him in the awarding
of justice.
Later in the day, however, the
court agreed to dismiss Colonel
Davidson, provided he would pay
the costs, a fine Of $50 and put up
a bond to keep the faith from
court o court, the bond required
being $500. This actiot was taken
because of the fact that Judge
Ferguson was presented a paper
in the nature of both a petition
and an affidavit from the physi-
clans of the city that Colonial
Davidson was suffering from an
incurable disease, and that his
wife would be ~jeopardized IN Jail.
