VICTORY,

NEW YORK, Sept, 27.-Clad in
pIebian sweater and old clothes, Jay
Gould, Jr., the s years old son of
George Gould, today led the fresh
men class in Columbia university to
victory. After a struggle lasting
half an hour, the sophomore class
was driven from south field in the
preliminary rush of the reason.
More than $50 sophomores gath
recess and shouted defiance to the
freshmen, who assembled on the
steps of the library building. When,
under the leadership of young Gould,
the freshmen, 800 strong. started to
march upon their foes.
In double file the freshmen took
their stand on the north side, op-
posite the second classmen. The sig
nal was given, and the two sets of
Youngsters We're at it. Cloths were
torn, noses We're broken, faces cut,
eyes blackened. Gould himself re-
ceived bloody nose early in the
rush.
The superior numbers of the
freshmen began to tell after the
struggle had gone for half an hour,
and they gathered for a mighty on
slaught. Retiring suddenly, as
though yielding, the freshmen as
suddenly reformed and bore down
on the sophomores. The second year
men could not Withstand the on
slaught Their ranks were broken,
they fed.

Will Come From
..ipha.

Joseph l.. GirouX. president of the
GirouX Copper company arrived here

pany with s. E. Walker, II. Richard
son and Il. b. Bronson, also of Los

The members of The party will

150 feet, so that the volume of water
therefrom will be sufficient to operate
the mill which is now being COM
pleted. the mill will be put into COM

will be largely increased.
"As soon as we get the water nee
essary for that purpose, said Mr..
Giroux TO the News, we will operate
the mill at its full capacity.
"lhe water will not be had until
the Alpha is sunk at least $50 feet.
but this should be done by January
/, at the latest, and we look for the
work to be done even before that
date.
"As soon as the mill is put into
operation, we will increase all of the
forces in all of the departments, and
at least five hundred additional men
will be given permanent employ
ment
1--WE know that we have mine,
said Mr. GirouX, and he accented the
last word with emphasis. I'VE know
that we have mine, and that copper
is as standard as -four. We know
that this camp is all right, and that
ii has future"
What effect has the recent slump
had on the investors of California
with respect to their confidence in
Nevada copper securities?' he was
asked.
"The slump has not caused a rip
pie of unrest in ,he minds of the in
vestors in California. They are as
con nfdent in the brilliant future of the
coppers in this state as they would
be in the futures of government four
per cents. he slump has had no
effect on them at all. They KNOW
what Nevada coppers are. and that
their future is as certain as any
thing could be.

HIGH FLYERS TO HAVE
TESTS AT ST. LOUIS
AERONAUTS OF SIN NATIONS TO
COMPETE FOR JAMES COR
DON BENNETT CUP.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.-October 21
the eyes of the aeronautic world will
be turned in the direction of st.
Louis. That date marks the opening
of week of the greatest aerial COM
petitions ever held. The carnival
will be international in character.
The various contests will be open to
the world, and the results will be
keenly watched by every civilized
government, as well as by the scien-
lists of all nations. People from ev-
cry quarter of ,ne globe will assem-
bic in st. Louis to see the events.
The opening day, Monday, Octo-
Der 81, will be marked by the start
in the contest for the James Gordon
Bennett international aeronautic cup.
This cup is emblematic of what might
be termed the balloon racing cham
pionship of the world. 1t is valued
at $4,000, and was given by James
Gordon Bennett, to be competed for
under the auspices of the Interna-
tional Aeronautic federation, COM
posed of aero clubs representing
nearly all the leading countries. In
order to become the property of any
OllC uClO CluD IL DG
defended by it five consecutive years
against all challenges received from
the aero clubs of other nations.
The first contest for the cup was
in Paris in September, 1906, and was
won by Lieutenant Frank p. Lahm
of the United States army, one of the
representatives of the Aero club of
America, and brought it to this coun-
try, where the nations which chal-
lenge for it are required to come, the
rules stipulating that the competi-
tions must be held i nthe country
which holds the trophy.
Challenges for the cup have been
received from the aero clubs repre-
senting France, Germany, the United
Kingdom, Spain and Italy. No coun-
try is allowed to have more than
three contestants in the race and
each of these five nations has made
three entries. The Italian entries,
however, were received too late and
have been protested. Efforts are be-
ing made to have the protest waived
Should this be done there will be
eighteen competitors in the race, in
cluding the three entries of the
United States. Should the Aero club
of France insist on excluding the
Italians there will be fifteen entries
in the event.

MORE PAY IS GRANTED
MONTANA COAL MINERS
Contrary to Usual Rule, Cost of
Fuel Will Not BE Adj
yanccd.

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 27.-Be-
tween 2,400 and $500 coal miners
in this state and a number nearly
as large in northern Wyoming, will
receive an advance in wages varying
from IL to Is per cent, effective Oc-
tober /. This, in essence, is the re-
suit of the three weeks conference in
this city between the operators of
the United Mine Workers for dis
trict No. %, embracing the states of
Montana and Wyoming. The south
ern Wyoming wage scale had been
agreed upon at a conference held in
Denver in July. The scale is to re-
main in effect one year.
This will mean an advance in the
cost of coal production to the oper-
ators of from 3 to 20 cents ton,
but it is not believed the retailers
will increase their prices to the con-
sumers. In fac, as an indirect out
come of the long conference, it is be-
lieved they will be compelled to re-
duce their charges to the consumer.

however. and the message calling
him to Carson was forwarded to Elko
whence it was relayed by telephone

China to Be FACTOR
IN COPPER MARKET

A message over the Pollock wires
quotes yesterdays Boston News Bu-
reau as follows:
what is considered an important
factor in the copper situation is that
China is again in the market for a
large volume of copper, deliveries to
extend over twelve months. Already
in Europe agants for the Chinese
mandarins who are book of the cur
rent buying movement have secured
some hundreds of tons which have
been shipped to Shanghai.
in the United States, however, the
inquiry from the far east has thus
far been of small proportions, but it
is stated no copper has been OBJ
tanned here because some of the
American producers or selling
agents do not desire, at this time, to
commit themselves for year ahead.
Business in electrolytic has been
done at 1 5 cents, while lake by the
independents has been sold at Is a
cents. The United Metals is asking
Is Il for lake. Some business in
electrolytic has been transacted as
low as IA p cents, though in small
volume

CHARLES REEVES GETS
BAD SHOCK OVER PHONE
Crossed Wires Convey Fluid Into
Attorneys Body When He
Completes Circuit.

Attorney Charles r. Reeves is a
man who has knocked around the
world considerably in the forty years,
more or less, that he has been an
active participant in the affairs of
the country He is callous, to a GER
tain extent, but he received shock
Thursday afternoon that was not only
unexpected but SO severe that he will
remember it for many days.
Attorney Reeves is frequent user
of the telephone, and declares that
never before had he received com
munication over the wire that star
tied him, or that shocked him more
than that of Thursday afternoon.
While holding the receiver to his
ear, Reeves heard a roar that sound
ed like thunder-this is not slang,
but literal truth. In an instant he
was jabbering at the telephone in a
mixture of Sanscrit, Japanese and
Volapuk. At the same time he
writhed, danced and stirred things
up generally, finally falling to the
| floor of his office in agony.
The cause was crossed wire,
which carried an exceptionally heavy
voltage of electricity to the telephone
instrument Reeves completed the
circuit and was severely shocked. He
was unable to be about the streets
Thursday, and was still suffering
considerably from the pain and shock
Yesterday Several blisters were
burned on his hands and face where
the indicative current "swatted him
when he wasn't looking" The only
thing that attorney Reeves objects
| to. is that there is no way to "get
back" at the telephone instrument
which played traitor to him and
struck him unawares.

GREEN -CANANEA WILL
BUILD NEW SHELTER

BOSTON, Sept. PA News Bu-
reau special from Cananea, Mexico,
says: A smeter expert, who has
just concluded several days visit
to the plant of Greene-Cananet states
that the rehab1 itation which has
been going on since early in the year
and which will be completed in No
vember, will put this smelter in the
best condition that it is possible to
be on the present site, the area OF
which is so limited as to prevent
the installation of much automatic
eouipment that could be used to
large advantage in reducing opera
ton forces. 1t must be remembered
that Colonel Greene selected the
present site with view of handling
400 tons of ore day at the outside
limit Since that time, seven years
ago, the ore handled mainly on this
site has been increased to about 800
tons. In the room that he found
available, Smelter superintendent
Charles f. Selby Is given credit for
having installed during the last six
months many interesting new me-
chanical devices which are proving
very valuable. Previous to his de-
parture for the east last week, Col.
w. C. Greene went through the
mines, later stating that they We're
in the best shape known in their
history Regarding the new smelter
he said that the plans were finished
and erection work would commence
within few months.

MASCULINE WH|SKEY
IS BECOMING SCARCE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Moon-
sinners are rapidly becoming linked
with the past, according to the state
ment of David A. Gates, chief of the
internal revenue agents of the treas
ury department. Mr.. Gates says that
throughout the whole moonshining
district in the southern states there
are not ten legalized saloons at which
the Illicit product may be sold. Men
have decided that the laws of the
united States are to be obeyed and
all of the resistance the wild and
desperate mountaineers can offer is
incapable of stopping the gradual in
coming of the tide that is drowning
them one by one.
The rapidity with which the liquor
question has forced itself forward in
politics is one of the main reasons
for the gradual decrease of moon
shining establishments. Tennessee
went dry last fall; many counties in
Kentucky are now numbered among
the white ribboners," and Virginia
is for the most part opposed to the
sale or traffic in liquor.
