BURNS AND ROCHE READY
Champion of America and Champion
of Ireland Will Contest For the
International Title Tonight.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Dublin, March 17.-Jem Roche, the
champion heavyweight pugilist of Ire
land, and Tommy Burns, now general
ly recognized as the champion of
America, are to fight twenty rounds
or less for the international champion
ship at the Theater Royal in this city
this evening The match has aroused
intense interest in sporting circles and
seats are selling at almost fabulous
prices.
Both men are reported in the pink
of condition. The unbroken line of
victories won by Burns since he cross
ed the Atlantic and the easy manner
in which he disposed of Gunner Moir
and the best heavyweights now fight
ing in England has naturally made his
chances well thought of in his match
with Roche But the Irish fighter has
strong local following who have
shown an inclination to put up some
real money to back their judgment.
Roche is regarded as the best fight
err Ireland has produced in recent
years. He is a hard hitter and ex-
tremely fast. He weighs 1874 pounds,
is five feet ten inches tall, and is one
of the few fighters outside of America
who uses his feet when boxing. But
Burns outclasses Roche in one most
essential thing. This is his great
experience in the ring and his thor
ough knowledge of the scientific
points of the fighting game In the

Old Today-Born In Kentucky.

Kansas, was born at Danville, KY,

cation in Center College of that city.
In 1872, in company with a party of
young men of Danville, he went to
Kansas and finally located in the
town of Marion, where he founded and
edited newspaper. He early took
an active interest in the republican
politics of his adopted state, and for
four years was a member of the Kan
sas house of representatives. In 1900
Mr.. Hoch was an unsuccessful candi-
date for the republican nomination for
state printer Four years later he
was the unanimous choice of his party
for governor and was elected to the
office by an overwhelming plurality.
Two years later he was renominated
and reelected for the term which will

IOWA CONCEDED TO TAFT
Republican State Convention to Be
Held In Des Moines-Split In
the Grand Old Party.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Des Moines, Ia, March 17.-Del-
egates and visitors to the republican
state convention are already arriving
in the city in considerable number.
The attendance of visitors promises
to be unusually large A gathering of
the republicans of Iowa almost al
ways means an interesting political
contest, and the state convention to-
morrow will certainly prove no excep-
ton to the rule.
Politics in the Hawkeye state this
year will reach the boiling point. In
addition to the contests incident to
the presidential election this fall the
state is to choose a governor and
other state officials and legislature
that will have the choice of United
States senator to succeed the ven
cradle Allison. Under anything like
normal conditions Iowa is anchored
safely in the republican column and
naturally the political wheel whirls
most intensely about the republican
party. The bitter fight between the
progressive" and the ''stand-pat" fac
lions of the republicans has aroused
feeling of hope in the democratic
breasts, which tends to further en-
liven the political situation.
The convention tomorrow will
choose delegates at large to the erpub-
lican national convention. In June
second convention will be held at
Waterloo to select state ticket. The
rivalry of the two factions has become
so acute, however, that the senatorial
and gubernatorial contests will figure
in no small degree in the proceedings
tomorrow. Already the hotel Hobbies
are filled with the party leaders from
over the state and a strenuous button
hole campaign is being pursued in the
interests of one or the other of the
factions
Iowa is practically conceded to
Taft, because the republican leaders
of both factions, or large majority
of them at least, have Endorsed his
candidacy. The so-called progressive
element fastened to announce them
selves for the secretary of war in
order to head off the Shaw boom,
while most of the "stand-pat' leaders
have been favorably inclined towards
the Taft candidacy from the start
The main contest now seems to be
which faction will control the Taft
delegation to Chicago. The senatorial
Issue between Cummins and Allison
. is not involved, but the two factions
are fighting for the control of the
convention, believing the outcome
may have an important bearing upon
the senatrial primaries to be held in
June. The state convention will be
composed of 1,1S3 delegates, of which
number the Allison forces today claim
to have clear majority. The division
is even enough, however, to assure a
lively contest on the convention floor.
Attorney General H. w. Byers, as
temporary chairman, will call the con-
vention to order tomorrow morning
at II o'clock.

Mr.. BURTON on
ARIZONA
Says Question Of Water Supply
For Milling Purposes
Is Solved.
VALUABLE WATER RIGHTS.
These Have Been Obtancd--Plans TO
Construct Min Being
Considered

Lafayette G. Burton, manager of the
Utah Arizona Cold and Copper COM
pany operating an attractive property
in the Weaver district. Arizona, has
returned from camp enthusiastic in the
belief that his company has a good
thing down south, and that sharehold =
ers viii realize splendidly out of their
investment
Mr. Burton stated today that one Of
the objects of his trip was to deter
mine whether or not enough water
could be developed to justify the cree
ton OF a mill "As far as ore is con-
cerncd." declared Mr. Burton
tho directors satisfied themselves
some time ago that there was enough
developed to keep a good sized plant
going for long time to come without
doing very much more development
The question OF water being all that
stood IN the way. But this matter has
been settled.
"The company has secured the water
rights Of Cottonwood canyon, as wen
as those in another canyon to the south
Of IT, which will give us ample supply
for a 20 stamp mill. While shortage
Is not anticipated I'm the summer
months. but to make certain that our
operations viii not he handicapped in
any such manner. the company is now
building a reservoir dam in which will
be impounded 100000 gallons of water.
one OF the dams will probably be COM
pleted within 30 days,
THE mill site Is right at the mine,
within 400 feet of the mouth Of the
Pride of the West tunnel, and the ele-
walton of the Cottonwood dam will be
about 500 feet above the mill; the
other one, about coo feet higher eleva-
ton Altogether. about four and a
half miles of piping will be required
to convey the water from the reser-
voirs to the point where it will be
used"
Mr., Burton had as his guest while
at the mine Charles GIacey. manager
of the Eldorado mine, located III the
Eldorado district, east of SearchliGht
and the latter expressed himself as be-
ing very much surprised at the show
ing on the Utah-Arizona ground. He
said he had no idea that a district so
we'll mneralized as this one seems to
be existed in the northwestern part
of Arizona and said few gold camps
of Nevada could begin to compare
with 1t.
MIR. Burton expects To have the new
mill in operation some time during the
coming autumn. The values contained
In the ore will he saved by amalgama-
ton and concentration.

moved, It's n Go.

The smelter north OF Ogden Is to
be placed in commission again-maybe,
All depends on what kind of treatment
the railroads give in the way of freight
+ rates on ores from the camps south OF
Salt Lake City If matters of that
hind, which are now pending with Of
Ncials of the Gould and Hartman sys-
TENS. are satisfactorily adjusted en-
aiding the Ogden plant to compete with
the Salt Lake valley on ores from the
south. It VIII be started again.
II has developed that tho Utah
Smelling company, which built the
smelter and operated it for few
months last year very successfully as
far as metallurgy goes; but unsuccess-
fully In a financial way, because of
being unable to dispose OF ores pur-
chased on a high metal market has
bonded and leased the property to n To-
cal syndicate having very powerful
backing, who propose to operate the
plant as an independent enterprise--if
the railroads see ft to remove the ban
which prevents the receipt of ores
from the direction of the compass al
ready stated.
II was ascertained today that Bella
1Sadish. former manager of the Utah
company, had disposed OF ali OF his
stock holdings and is therefore no long
err connected with the institution, so
II the plant is started. II viii be under
entirely new mana cement.
IT is to be hoped that the effort be-
ing put forth will be successful, With
the Bingham Consolidated and United
States copper plants both down. there
is only one left whore copper ores may
be sent for treatment and that Is mt
the Garfield plant of the American
Smelling 4 Refining company. The
Knight plant In Tintic will help to re-
copper furnaces are installed but 1t is
safe to say that the autumn Will be well
advanced before the Knight company
will accept copper ores in any consid-
cradle quantity. The Ogden smelter
could be started within 10 days and
there is no doubt that 1t would have
plenty of ore offered to IL TO keep II
going indefinitely up TO the present ca
pacity OF $50 tons per day as soon as
the word Is sent out that 1t Is ready
for business.
If plans so through as outlined, the
new owners propose to double the pres
ent furnace capacity of the smelter and
in all probability add a converter de-
partment in the near future Every in
dependent producer In Utah and the
surrounding states will be glad to see
the plant, which represents an invest
ment of probably s250000, going again.
1t will be p good thing for Ogden as
well as for the mining camps of this
region.
