SAM NEWHOUSE AND OTHER
STRONG ONES ENTER CAMP
Interest BECOMES KNOWN THROUGH new co.

e. w. Griffiths, president of the
Ely Centennial Copper Co., return
ed last evening from a business trip
to Salt Lake, where he spent sew
eral days with regard to affairs of
his company.
When seen by News representa-
tive last evening Mr.. uriffiths stated
it was the intention of his company
to continue active development work
steadily on the Centennial holdings
and that it's affairs are now in final
shape. 1t is the expectation that the
work planned will open up one of the
big high grade copper producing
properties of the district.
According to Mr.. Griffiths, the peo-
pie of Salt Lake are more interested
in the future of this camp than one
would naturally suppose unless he
visited the city and heard the cur
rent comment on Nevada's premier
copper district.
There is not a broker in Salt
Lake." said Mr.. Griffiths, "but is
anxious to handle the stock of any
meritorious property in this district"
Asked as to steps taken in the or
ganization of Ely Centennial, Mr..
Griffiths said these had been COM
pleted and that the organization and
directorate was composed of the
following well known mining men OF
Utah and Nevada:
E. E. Vanderhoef, superintendent
of the Nevada Con-; Samuel New
house, president of the Boston Con.
Copper Co., Bingham, Utah; Wind
sOr ". Rice. president of the Nevada
Hills Mining Co.; Charles H. Griffin,
Joint agent of the Hartman lines at
Salt Lake; Gilbert F. Boreman and
I. D. Carpenter.
The association of Mr.. Newhouse,
Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Griffin brings into
the activities of the district very
prominent trio, Mr.. Newhouse and
Mr. Rice particularly SO in connec-
ton with the mining development of
the west. Although it is known that

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Another ave-

tence of five years Imprisonment in
the Leavenworth Federal prison, for
misapplying the funds of the Chicago
National bank, was closed to John
R. Walsh here today by ruling OF
Judges Grosscup, Zeaman and Ba-

Appeals.
This ruling denies Walsh rehear-

tinue the bail bond under which he
has been at liberty since sentence
was pronounced.

A STRAY
SHOW YET
FOR FIGHT
That is Present Outlook
Date but not Place Def
initeIy Fixed Yesterday

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Final ar
ticles for the heavyweight champion
ship fight between James ]. Jeffries
and Jack Johnson were signed this
afternoon. They will fight as rounds
before Tex Richards Club, on July
4th.
The referee vii. be selected sixty
days before the contest. The fight
ers agree to go into training not less
than ninety days before the fight
and not to engage in any fights be-
tween now and July 4th.
Each fighter today deposited $10,
900 to bind the match. The referee
will be selected sixty days before
the fight.
SALT LAKE, Dec. 3.-Local men
interested in securing the Jeffries-
Johnson fight for Salt Lake are very
confident that they can satisfy al
the requirements of the successful
bidders from a financial point OF
view and can also give assurances
tnat there will be no interference
from either state or city authorities.
Governor Spry has made no an
nouncement for publication, but he
has allowed it to be understood
however, that he has favorably con
strued the law governing pugilistio
contests in the state.
Tex" Rickard is expected here II
few days and on his arrival will
meet with the business men who
have supported him in his LID for tho
fight. Decision will then be reached
as to final arrangements.
A telegram from Mr.. Rickard says
that it is now up to the people OF
Salt Lake to take the fight on l.
they want it.
Advices of meager sort received
from Mr.. Rickard yesterday in this
city disputed Jne supposition given II
press dispatches that San Francisco
had been definitely fixed upon as the
place of the fight. July 4th appears
to have been fixed upon as the date
but the place is yet open.
The presumption is from what car
be gathered that in the event the
San Francisco authorities will mo-
permit the fight within the city lin
it's, about which there is consider
able doubt, it will come off in eithe,
Salt Lake or this city. Ely is evi~
IDENTIFY held open as a final resort o!
the fight promoters in the EVENT.
neither San Francisco or Salt Lake
should come to satisfactory terms
So the horizon is not yet entirely
hopeless with regard to Ely big fight
aspirations.

tion-.-Much Suffering

ST. PAUL, Dec. 3.-FOllOwing a
conference between Gov. Eberhart
and President Hawley of the Switch
mems Union, it was reported tonight
that the strike would be settled to-
morrow morning. Railroad officials
declare the unconditional surrender
of the strikers is the only basis on
which the men will be taken back.
GREAT FALLS, Dec. 3.-Fifteen
hundred men are idle here because
of the switchmen's strike.. Being un-
able to get ore from the mines of
Butte, the Boston & Montana Smell
tel suspended operations yesterday.
The Royal Flour mills are without
wheat and laid off 500 men today.
Other industrial plants will be COM
PEELED to close unless there is change
in the strike situation on the Great
Northern Railroad within few days.
Business men are feeling the effects
of the strike keenly.
Six trains, some of them carrying
local freight, pulled out of Missoula
this morning. They were made up
yesterday by crews formed of North
ern Pacific division officials and
clerks. A savage blizzard is raging
over eastern Montana and is adding
to the difficulties of the railway Of
ficials.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 3.-When Gov. A..
o. Eberhart arrived today from Chi
cago, State Labor Commissioner w.
r. e. McEwen recommended that he
take steps to organize an interstate
board of mediation to be composed
of the governors of Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington, for the purpose of bringing
about settlement of the strike.
With great cold wave lowering
over Montana and blizzard raging,
it is feared much suffering will re-
suit because of the depleLlon of the
coal supply before traffic conditions
are improved.
Supt. F. D. Kelsey announced to-
day that full switching crews will
be at work at all points on the Da-
kota division of the Great Northern
tomorrow.
Superintendent Morrison of the
Union Depot terminals said today
that he had been approached by five
members of the Switchmen's Union
who said there was much dissatis-
faction in the ranks of the union and
that fully half of the men desired to
return to work. These, it was de-
clared, were deferred only by fear
of the rest of the strikers.
1t is said that many of the strik-
ers have approached the yardmasters
offering to return to work at any
time that they can be guaranteed
protection. These statements are
corroborated by officials of the 500
and Omaha railroad.

that the boy was violator of the law
and should be made to suffer the pen
atty of the law. There was nothing
to be gained by "letting the boy off,"
On Monday a gentleman from Angus
ia came to Lexington and carried both
of the boys back to Augusta.
This should not only be warning
to these boys, but to every boy
throughout the country who, though
hardly "dry behind the ears" gets it
in their head to run away from home.
Doubtless it will teach these boys

CIRCULATION 1895.

Ma yistrate Thos. L. Harman is to
be commended for his efforts to up
hold the law. On Friday two Angus
to youths were brought before him on
the charge of "beating" a passenger
train. He promptly sentenced tthem
to pay fine of fifteen dollars apiece
or serve twenty days on the county
chaingang. The father of one of the
boys sent the money to pay his fine,
but the other had no father to come
to his rercue; he was dead. His
mother, widow lady and having no
way to earn a living save with her
needle like Dorcas of old, was unable
to raise the money with which to pay
her wayward boy out of trouble.
A prominent official of the Georgia
Railroad wrote a pathetic letter to
one of the officials here with a view
to getting the fine remitted. Magis-
trate Harman, who regards his oath
above sentiment, rightly refused to

Cotton is soaring skyward, the price
ranging around 12 cents. Along with
cotton the product of the mills has ad-
vanced in like proportion. This is as
it should be. When both advance
manufacturer profits as well as the
producer. But, unfortunately, there
is but little cotton in the hands of the
farmers of this county at present.
With gloomy prospects staring us in
the face, it seems that the farmers
can rest assured that it matters not
whether the crop will be large or
small good price will be secured.
The cotton crop in this county, with
but few exceptions, is the poorest in
years. Corn, too, is not 50 good, and
