it was believed by Mr.. Gibson and
his friends that the fight could not
be held. But now the officials of
the club announce that the contest
will be held as planned, the only
cnange being in postponing the bout
from September 10 to September 20.
They insist that no prize money has
been offered the fighters, that they
are to receive only their legitimate
expenses, that both fighters are
qualified members of the club and
that only legal members of the club
will be- admitted to witness the com
test. 49,
Willus Britt, manager for Stanley
Ketchel, has arrived here unexpected

the stories concerning his lapses are
without foundation. Britt states that
Ketchel will weigh about 1870 pounds
and that he will insist on fighting
Langford at catch weights.
Sam Langford who has been train
ing hard near Boston, has insisted
on Ketchel weighing twenty pounds
less than his present scaling and this
may cause hitch in the arrange
ments, although the club officials say
that the matter is not troubling them.
Britt does no know just when Kechel

VISITORS Of
IMPORTANCE
IN DISTRICT
MAN TO WHOM AFFAIRS OF LATE
II. Fl. ROGERS ARE ENTRUSTED
AND ANOTHER FINANCIER IN
SPECT DISTRICT.

A. G. Burridge and F.. P. Bradley,
of Boston, have been visitors of
much Importance in the district the
last two days and will probably take
departure for the east this morn
ing.
Mr.. Burridge is the son-in-law Of
the late H. H. Rogers to whom the
latter turned over the management
of the immense interests which he
left behind at the time of his death
last spring. Mr.. Rogers 1t will be
recalled held large interest in
Amalgamated and at the time of his
death and for number of years be-
fore was at the head of its affairs,
being resckoned in copper circles for
many years as the great power. Mr..
Bradley, who is travelling with Mr..
Burridge, is an investor of large
means. sA s4l
Since here the visitors have spent
much time at the mines and have
made very careful inspection of the
work at Copper Flat. They have also
visited the concentrator and smelter
and made careful observation of the
results obtained there. Neither of
the gentlemen have cared to be
quoted except in a general way to
the effect that the district looks ex-
ceedingly good and that the extent of
operations and the resources in ore
in sight are surprisingly large.
1t is the presumption that Mr..
Burridge came to the camp through
desire to familiarize himself with the
work of the biggest of the porphyry
districts, now foremost in the con-
temptation of copper people.
Whether there is more important
significance attaching is not known,
but it is possible that there is. The
gentlemen WELD a very great in
fiuence in the world of finance and
metals and report they take with
them of the camp may prove of very
much Importance to it. . ~ss.pc

MEXICO CITY, Sept. IA dis

Z The situation at Monterey is more
serious than at first supposed. The

reached the North Pole on April Fl,
1908.

The Esquimos's at Cape York mem

be connected with the expedition of
the Danish Explorer, Knud Rasmus-
sen, who is now at Cape York. 1t
is believed here that Cook was ac-
companied in his dash to the pole by
only few Esquimos. The news of
the achievement of the American ex-
plorer has created intense Excitement
in Copenhagen.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-R. 7.
Davidson, personal friend of DR..
Cook, received a cablegram today
from Cook saying that he is well and
that his expedition was successful. The
message did not say whether the ex-
plorerA reached the pole or not.
For years DR.. Cook has given his
attention to tArtic exploration and in
1881 and 1892 was surgeon with the
Peary expedition.
!. He started on his present expedi-
tion in the summer of 1897. sailing
from North Sydney on a schooner.
The party was reinforced with sleds,.
dogs and Artic clothing outfits at
Eta, Greenland
Cooks plan was to set aside tradi-
tion and make a dash for the pole
during the winter months, when the
elements are usually considered less
advantageous. The last previous
news from him was on March II,
1908, when he reported the health
of himself and party to be excellent
Cook in his letter said that he had
picked up a party of intelligent
Eskimos and his prospects for sue
cess were held by him to be very
bright. He expected to make actual
start for the pole in the winter of
1908. DR.. Cook was born in Sulli-
