JENNINGS BOOSTS WALKER.

Dixie" Walker, the pitcher secured
from the GAINESVILLE team of the Cen
trail league last season, will, i'm the
opinion of Hughey Jennings, be a
more valuable pitcher to the Senators
than Walter Johnson. Walker won
three out of four games for the Ma
tionals last fall, Detroit alone beating
him, and yet Jennings. whose team
gave him a drubbing in the closing
innings of a game in Washington, con-
siders him the best looking young
pitcher he has seen i'm recent years.
Jennings was singing Walkers
praises during the recent gathering
of baseball men in New York. and
he said that he expected to see Walker
among the leading pitchers of the
league next season.

JOHNSON NEVER EXTENDED.

After witnessing the moving pictures
OF the Johnson Ketchel boxing con-
test in Calumet yesterday, Ted Sulll-
van, who is an enthusiastic admirer OF
n good boxer, seemed impressed with
the fact that Johnson was never call
cd upon to extend himself to the limit
in the contest. Sullivan has been an
eyewitness of almost every big boxing
contest since the Sullivan Kilrane bout

forward to the coming battle between
Jeffries and Johnson with much in

enthusiasm OF Americans is proverbial,
but it is safe to say that never i'm our
history has there been sporting event
which has aroused such widespread
interest and produces so much in dis
cussion in all classes as the coming
fight for the championship of the
world between James j. Jeffries and
John Johnson. Everywhere in New
York one hears johnson" or "Jeffries."
II was at the high tide of this great
wave of enthusiasm which swept the
country, eliminating when the final
details were arranged between the
principals and promoters, that | was
enabled to go over both these giants
with the tape measure and make vari-
Gus other examinations.
Looking at the men specifically,
Jeffries seems more symmetrical and
more pleasing to the eye because of
Johnson's high shoulders, behind
which the large muscles of the back
are piled up and which robs him Of
that graceful pose which we see in so
many OF our athletes.
But those high shoulders, with the
masses of muscle in front and behind,
while not so agreeable artistically will
count for much on the great day.

given. With these there is "a table Of
the average measurements of class

Steve Smith Dead.

Stephen Smith, one of the oldest of Mohave County's pioneers, died at Hotel Beale some time during the night of the 3lst. He came in from Chloride Thursday and immediately went to bed, being too ill to sit up. Dr. Cowie was called and prescribed for him, the sick man evidently suffer- ing from a severe cold. Some friends went to his room about II o'clock Tn the evening and he appeared to be feeling some better. When his room was visited in the morning his dead body was found in bed. Death had come to him during the night.
 Steve Smith was knONn 10 every old timer in the county. In the early seventies Mir. Smith located the lthica mines, which later were sold 10 New York people. For years ne prospect ed and mined in the Mineral Park and Chloride sections and al the time of his death was the owner of valuable mines. It is probable that his re- mains will be buried at KIngman to- morrow afternoon.

Discovery Of Dundee Shaft.

A brief sketch of the rediscovery of the Dundee mine by w. $. O'brien IS of more than passing interest [. The tragedy surrounding its discovery is fresh in the minds of men who were in this district at the time, but un- fortunately the names of the men in- volved in the fatal affair have escaped their memories, says the Chatey News.
 Two sturdy young men joined the camp of Dunglen in the spring of '65, after prospecting the district for some time located what was thought to be very rich mine.
 They were quiet, unassuming mem- bers of the community and worked their claims for several months and seldom mixed with their neighbors. Several sacks of very rich ore was known to have been obtained by these men, which were taken to the coast by the younger partner. Upon his return it was noticed that the partners seldom spoke to each other and the older man built cabin which he oc- cupied alone. The younger man grad u fly became more friendly and com municative with the prospectors and residents of the district and as his true worth appeared on the surface he 1 became a general fovorite in camp. His partner appeared more morose and sullen as time passed and seldom if ever joined his fellow gold-seekers in their convival moods.
 A party of prospectors happening along one morning over the Dundee claim noticed a pool of blood directly in front of the tent of the younger of the men, and stepping inside was hor-
 rifed to find his body lying on the
 floor with large knife gash in his throat. They immediately instituted a search for his partner, who was
 nowhere to be found.
 A searching party was formed, the
 several members of which secured the
 country in every direction and from information obtained the fleeing man was caught near the Oregon line.
 He confessed to the murder which he
 claimed to have committed in a heat of passion over a dispute in dividing
 the money due from a shipment of ore
 and in the struggle used the knife, killing his partner the evening before he was found in the cabin. The posse hastily counciled and after a short
 deliberation decided to make short
 shift of the self-convicted murderer and he was promptly lynched for his crime.
 Thirty years or more afterward, Mir.
 O'brien, the well known mining mar
 ani prospector, while examining the ? different lodges in this part of the b district, came upon an old cedar tree . on which was blazed the inscription [ stating that l60 feet to the east wa: [ short distance away he came upon ; n gopher hole which contained severa - pieces of good quartz. Taking some of the yellowish looking dirt from th' bottom of the hole he found that i 2 banned well, and following up tn, if direction indicated by the inscription d he found the old abandoned shaf e about ten feet deep, at ihe bottom O ,f which he found a pick, shovel ant

Capt. Charles Hartley OonneS 10 LIE.
 Capt. Charles Hartley. the Santa Fe section boss at Wallapai, in this coun- ty, who so artistically filled the Pine nix papers with the tragic story of his own suicide, has come to life in the shelter town of Douglas, where he has been employing men to work on a mythical railroad in Mexico. There. under another name, he gave out a story to the effect that Capt. Hartley, while laboring under the mental stress of unrequited love, had cast himself from a high bluff, near Parker. into the murkey waters of the Colo rado river and was drowned. He also left countless thousands of dollars to two children and to the woman he loved. The tale went fourth through out the broad land and Hartley 7 reputation as prevaricator was established. At Douglas, through the medium of an employment agency he hired large number of teams and men and then on the strength of this big work tried to make borrow and failed. whereupon he faded away
