LEMM WINS
MAZUMA
FIGHT
Strinker No Match
For the Husky
Reno Lad

Paul Lemm of Reno was the victor
over Jos Strinker of Mazuma in the
fight at that town yesterday.
The decision came in the beginning
of the ninth round when Strinker
groggy from being floored twice in
the proceeding round by head jolts
was, unable to meet the onslaughts
of Lemm and his seconds threw up
the sponge. That Lemm was the
master of the two was cleerly evil
dent from the beginning of the fight
and those who witnessed the contest
state thar SlrinKer would have gone
down and out early, had he stood up
to his msn instead of continually COW
ering up and retreating.
George Gordon of Mazumr was the
referee. Billy Gordon of Rawnide
acted as announcer. He introduced
the fighters, also Geo. E. Riddle of
l.ovelock, who challenged the winner
to fight Jack Welsh of Lovelock. II
is rumored Lemm may sccept the
challenge.
About three hundred and fifty wit
messed the fight.

COPPER SITUATION
HAS A GOOD LOOK.
SEVERAL REASONS

Concerning the copper situation
and tendencies in the price of the red
metal the Boston News Bureau says:
ae copper situation at this mo-
ment is summed up by the producers
ar follows:
ca A NOR. eager demand Icy con-
sumers and better prices. although
II cannot be said that there has been
any pronounced increase in buying,
But the feature of buying is its di-
,e.sity. embracing practically all con-
sumers, whereas last years consum-
ers had sufficient stocks on hand to
keep their plants in operation far into
the future.
"(2) Until a short time ago, wany
large copper consuming companies
could not have purchased copper If
they needed 1t in their business, due
to the state of their respective treas
uries. Now Inventories have been cut
down TO bed rock and many concerns
have more money on hand than they
can proftably employ. In other words,
they will not have to see outside as
sistance when they decide to add TO
their stock OF copper.
"(3) The feeling in copper con-
Stunning eenters is much more cheer
full. 1t is realized that the worst
features OF the situation have been
bridged over, and that II will not be
many months before business will be
on the increase. II is not to be eX-
pected that consumers are going to
wait until the definite turn for the
better before adding to their copper
stocks. 1t is predicted that copper
will be bought pending a return to
better prices.
"tI The fact that the United Met
ais Selling Co. refused to sell nearly
l 100000 pounds OF copper at 1890
cents per pound is regarded as an in
dication of the markets strong posi-
ton OF the markets strong position.
"(5) Many large railroads and
other corporations have in view de
velopments that will result in the
consumption of many millions of
pounds Of copper within the next FIVE
years
"t6) Producers claim that the
stocks Of copper on hand are not
large. notwithstanding the extraor-
dinarY movement OF the metal in the
direction of Europe They say they
can trace shipments OF the larger per
centage of copper abroad direct to
consumers. The consumption of cop
per has shown no heavy falling off in
Europe, as one would suppose from
the depression that has existed in the
metal over the last IL months
"(7) Last year the production of
copper showed the first falling off in
/ s years, which is regarded as a good
indication of what the future has In.
