PAPKE'S SHOWING
AGAINST KELLY
Illinois Man Is GIutton for Pun
ishment and Can Hit Hard
With Either Hand.

Bill Papke Is the hero of the hour, and
he will be the most demanded fighter in
the country this year His great work
against Kelly has won golden praise from
all quarters.
AS willing, aggressive scrapper
Papke's equal has not been seen since
Terry McGovern was featherweight cham
pion Bill's attack is similar in many
ways to that of the Brooklyn terror when
the latter was all that his nickname i'm
piled. But Papke has a better defense
than the featherweight ever had. and
has a jaw which is much less sensitive.
Papke caught on with the crowd be-
ore he had been in the ring five minutes.
His aggressiveness and absolute fea less
ness won the admiration of the specta-
tors, although it appeared for a time as
though h s reckleSSnesS was leading him
directly to defeat. But he was safe-in
his mill with Kelly, at least The Italian
was not the rugged youth who fought
such vicious battles five or six years ago
He was as foxy and clever as ever, and
placed his blows with old-time nicely, but
he was shy on steam.
Papke's Style Peculiar.
Bill Papka's style of fighting is pecu-
liar, so the old-timers who have seen most
all of the Big matches in the last twenty
years declare. The smiling battle- is a
rushing. tearing, plunsing, tough young
ster with a knockout blow in either hand
and liable to land it any minute. He
relishes punishment and never lost his
smile despite the body beating and the
pounding on his frontispiece he received.
In return for this he gave Kelly the Sc
verest punishment the Italian has ever re-
ceived. He beat his face into a pulp an
til it failed to resemble the drawn, pale
phiz of the fighter who was forced to
weaken himself to make the necessary

1t was the universal opinion that the
battle was the bloodieSt, most vicious and
intensely interesting western fans have
seen in years The men were SO evenly
matched and both SO good at their own
pc ocular style that Malachi Hogan could
not choose between them when the bell
tapped at the end OF the tenth round.
Papke was not at all checked in his
own style of rushing, despite the pre-
vious announcements that this was what
Kelly wanted. Just as in all previous
bouts the Spring Valley miner stepped
from his corner with a movement like
that o. a hungry man headed for a good
meal He did not stop to spar with MS
opponent but dashed in with left and
right mauling and swinging and punch
ing and jabbing and twisting out of the
tight grip of the taller man. Kelly. who
Is credited with being clever boxer had
no time to do much sparring or leading.
although he finally solved Papke's style,
and in the opening argument sent the
youngster to the floor with an uppercut
on the jaw. Papke recovered quickly.
came up smiling. and the bell found him
boring in for more of the gatf.

WILL FIGHT COAL CLAUSE.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE

government against the coal carrying
railroads to enforce the commodity
clause of the Hepburn act was filed
here today Under this clause rail-
roads are enjoined from transport
ing coal mined by them or in the pro-
duction of which they have an inter
est The answer of the Pennsylvania
says that the law is void.
The answer also contains the fol-
lowing paragraph: In the year
1907 more than 6S,000.000 gross
tons of anthracite coal we're mined in
Pennsylvania, and approximately 49,
900, 900 tons were transported and
consumed at points outside of Penn

become very considerable incre-

highly essential to the public well

to points outside the state would be
a serious inconvenience and detri-
ment to a large portion of the inhab-

cite coal is now transported.

Thaw having been returned to an
insane asylum, the next move in the
case will probably be another habeas
corpus writ. right to the privilege of
which he may be expected to avail
himself of as regularly as the law
can be made to respond.
In the meantime the following dis
patch from New York is important
as showing the basis of interest that
some parties have in hoping he may
overlook no opportunity to secure his
freedom:
New York, May 19.-H. X. Thaw
has unpaid bills against him amount
ing to approximately 100000, and
he refuses TO pay out a dollar to his
creditors as long as he is officially in
sane.
THE creditors number about | 40,
and the amounts of their individual
claims range all the way from $35,-
900 to comparatively few dollars.
They include lawyers, doctors,
alienists. and a horde of trades peo-
ple-in fact, nearly everybody who
has rendered service or sold any
thing TO Thaw since his first trial for
the killing of Stanford White"
1t would be worth while to raise
this 100000 by private subscription
if doing so would keep Thaw where
he belongs, in the insane asylum.

are being made by the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines Co. and practically
no ore hoisted except that extracted
in the course of development work
the payroll of the great concern,
which is employing hundreds of men,
is being met by the output of the 20

When the big mill is operating, the
company's income promises to be
enormous.
Work on the mill is steadily pro-
crossing and the great foundation
looms up like a fortress on the west
side of Sandstone hill. The four
miles of railroad, with all trestles
have been completed and the road is
handling the necessary material from
surrounding quarries and from the
depot. Work of erecting the super

There is a trap, too. for the reckless
Democrats who may be tempted to
use promiscuously some treasury fig
ures which have been published in all
the newspapers of the country.
These figures go to show that for
the II months just ended of the
fiscal year 1908 the governments in
come fell seS,00O,0 900 short of its
outgo. But the shortage is due who'll
~, or almost wholly. to the business
setback which cut down the revenues.
The governments receipts for the
IL months we're s56,000,000 less
than those for the corresponding
time in the previous year. Had the
financial scare, and the consequent
business reverse. been ayerted the
revenues would not only have fallen
off but they would have increased.
and there would have been no deficit
for the II months. or, if there had
been any, it would have been so small
as not to he noticeable. The Demo-
crat who may base big generaliza-
lions on this deficit for the past IL
months may easily run up against
disaster. \ few days after his nom
nation in ST. Louis in July. 1904,
poor Parker predicted that there
would be deficit of more than $500,
600 600 for the fiscal year which had
just begun. The actual deficit turn
ed out to be s23,000,OOO, and then
came SURPRISES. The fate of that
unfortunate parsonage should deter
the Democrats who may be tempted
to try the role of soothsayer in this
exigeney. Business is improving.
and with this Improvement will come
an increase in the governments rev.
anues. If, as is possible. We have an
average crop in the great staples this
year, a big impetus will be given 10
general trade. If. as is also ex-
tremely probable. the Republicans
carry the country in November, the
deficits days will be numbered. All
the indications point TO an early re-
turn of Republican prosperity, and
with it will return the old flush days
in the treasury when we shall have
to deal with SURPRISES instead of de-
fcits.

THE GOVERNMENTS BALANCE
SHEET.

Wise Democrats will be very eau
tions about attacking the Republicans
for the heavy expenditures for the
fiscal year beginning July !, 1908,
which they peruse in the supply bills
passed in the late session of con-
gress. On the face of the figures the
aggregate appropriations were lit
tie over $1,000, 900. But some
of the expenditure permitted here is
theoretical only. BY a fiction of
bookkeeping s5S,000,OO0 goes to the
sinking fund. which will take not
cent out of the treasury. BY another
fiction 1928. 900, 900 is charged to the
postal service. As the postoffice al
most pays its own way this appro-
priation will take not more than S.
000,0 goo or $10,000,000 out of the
pockets of the people except through
the stamps which they pay for their
mail Something over 100000
of the big total will go for the re-
demption of national bank notes, an
other item that represents no money
10 &, 10 H. 20
When these items are deducted from
the total, that big aggregate shrinks
into very much smaller proportions
than are carried on the face of the
returns.
If the Democracy attacks some of
the other items in the appropriations
it will find that they are loaded.
Some of the increase over last years
appropriations are for pensions.
Now let us see if the Democrats will
assail this outlay. Other expansions
in outgo are for increased pay for
the country's soldiers and sailors,
and for the civil servants of the gov
eminent Is any Democrat. either in
the national convention or on the
stump going to condemn this increas-
ed expenditure? The army and navy
cost more now than they did in
Clevelands days, but sensible Demo-
Gratis know that a great many things
have taken place since then to make
this increase inevitable. They know
that the Spanish war, the acquisi-
tion of territory in the Gulf of Mex
leo and in the Pacific, and the big in
crease which has been made in the
armies and navies of the great ma
lions have not only justified this ex-
pansion on our part, but have made
1t imperative. Sane Democrats will
not provoke the Republicans into
telling these elementary facts to the
people A good deal of the extra ex-
penditure by the government over
that of few years ago is due to the
Panama canal. Where Is the Demo-
crat who, either in congress or in
Denver, will seriously propose that
the United States shall hand back the
canal zone to the Panama Republic
and step out of the isthmus? To

tempted in Denver or during the CAM

party is spendthrift these items,

AFFAIRS STILL MUDDLEO

President e. l.. White. OF the Bingham
Mining company, states that he has re-
ceived a request from the so-called pro-
tectiYe committee interests, represented
by Lawyer Thomas ]. Barry. that the
meeting of the Bingham stockholders
called for April 10. be postponed until a
further opportunity TO investigate is CIV
en-" says the Boston News Bureau.
President White has notified Mr.. Barry
that he is perfectly willing to have the
meeting adjourned until a later date, and
would welcome any suggestions or plans
from any interested parties as to how
best to solve the cOmpany's financial diff
ficulties.
Mr.. White further calls attention to the
fact that there must be as little delay as
possible in agreeing upon a plan, as the
bondholders have the right sixty days
after April l last-When the interest was
defaulted-to bring foreclosure proceed
ingS.
Any action which the stockholders de-
sire to take in the direction of conserv-
ing their interests must. therefore, be
taken at an early date, or the bondhold-
ers may take the property. There will
be no poStpOnement of the date (April
15) on which 81 per share must be paid in
at the Federal Trust company if stock
holders are to participate in the offer OF
the Bingham Mines company.

MINES AND MININC|

ries so many impurities that it is almost
impossible to use it,
Some molybdenum ores found in Maine,
Utah, and California are described by
Mr.. Frank L. Hess, one of the biologists
OF the United States geological survey, in
an advance chapter from Bulletin No.
$40, which forms Part of Contributions
to Economic Geology, 1907
The Maine ore is mOlybdenite and is
widely distributed. The principal depos-
its are in Washington and Hancock
counties, and these have beep brought
into more or less prominence through the
several companies that have been formed
to exploit them.
The California ore described is also
mOlybdenite and was discovered during
1906 in granite quarry about four and
one-half miles northeast of Corona, RiY-
erside county. The granite is cut by
pegmatite bikes one-half inch TO two
inches wide, and molybdenite in flakes up
to one-half inch across accompanies the
bikes in small quantities.
The Utah deposit is wulfenite dead
mOlybdenite) and occurs at Alta, one of
the older mining camps of the state. Its
presence has been known for years, but
the ore has always been sold for its lead
content, as aside .Orm this il had merely
a meteorological interest. 1t is only within
recent years that wulfenite has acquired
importance as a source of molybdenum.
Mr.. Hess's paper describing these deposits
may be obtained by applying to the direc-
tor of the geological survey at Washing
ton, d. e.
