THE FITTING
DISTRICT NOW
LOOKING GOOD

two years ago the present company
took hold and from that time to the
present date the ore shipped has
more than paid the operating ex-
penses. This is saying good deal
for a prospect. Mr.. A. Greenman is
in charge of the workings.
The Cobb property has also be-
come a steady shipper of the copper
ore to the smelter. During the past
winter about ESQ tons have been
shipped out and the proceeds used in
development work. A force of eight
men are at work taking out the ore.
A shaft has attained a depth of 200
feet, ore having been encountered
from the grass roots down.
The Fletcher property has two
men at work doing development
work. This property is situated near
the Paymaster, the original strike OF
the district, and bids fair of becom'
ing one of the best mines in the dis
trict if location counts for anything
i They have shipped good ore steadily
for the past year, enough in fact tt
pay all expenses of development.
i Senator eddie of Tonopah is heav
lily interested in this property.
Charles Youell of the Youel
group has five men at work takin;
out good shipping ore. The dump
, contain enough milling ore to keep
good sized mill going some time t
come as the property has been work
i ed steadily for the past three years
J 1t is the intention of this compan
: to continue taking out the millin
! ore as well as the shipping, and a
: soon as the smelter is erected an
: in running order at the new town {
e Lodi, to make regular shipment
b the distance being about eightee
e miles.

FAVORIIE OF
TONOPAH FANS

The chances of Freddie Weeks in
the coming contest with Abe Attell,
according to fight fans who are not
prejudiced, are very fiattering. Ru-
NOR has it on good authority that
Attell and wife are living on the fat
of the land at the Goldfield hotel,
and that Abe is doing only make be-
lieve training in the afternoons for
the benefit of spectators who congre-
gate daily to see him box few short
rounds. On the other hand il you
will take the trouble to drop out to
Jumbotown in the early morning you
can see Freddie hitting the trail, and
after hitting the trail he puts in from
one hour to an hour and a half's
work with such huskies as Larry
Gordon and others of that weight,
and if condition counts for anything,
Weeks has the CALL
When Freddie fought Attell before
the low altitude of Los Angeles in
creased his weight to such an extent
| that he was in a Turkish bath for
several hours before the call of
time, and went direct from the baths
to the ring in such weakened con-
dition he could not begin to make
his fight. Today he is well under the
weight and will have every ounce OF
his fighting strength. Old-timers
who have seen Freddie fight recently
say that he is better than when Col.
orado thought it had world beatel
in the Little Cripple Creek feather
weight.
A few comparisons of the boy!
will show what a grand chance
Weeks has of winning. While FREQ

deterioration, it is admitted b,

y Conservation of the country's natural
resources, with special reference to the
preservation of the national forests, the
reclamation of arid and semi arid lands
by irrigation, the disposition of water
power sites upon public lands, and the
disposition of coal, oil and phosphate
lands owned by the government, were
discussed by President Taft in an out
door address before an audience of
10000 when he was at Spokane. Mr..
Taft's address occupied As minutes in
its delivery.
President Taft S remarks on the gov
eminent national forestry policy fol-
lows in full:
1.-The national forests as reserved
by executive order contain 167 ,000,00O
acres of land in the United States
proper. All of this land is now under
the direct control of the forestry
bureau, and is being preserved from
fire and from other destruction, and is
being treated in accordance with the
bSob hiO0CAh AiCbuOQo VI llcdl1u2 lOl-
ests, under the supervision of Mr..
Pinchot, chief forester and head of the
bureau of forestry in the department
of agriculture.
1T appears that the government tim
Der land is only about one-fourth of
the timber land owned by private in
dividuals, and that only 3 per cent of
the timer land owned by private in
dividuals is properly looked after ac-
cording to modern methods of forestry.
"The destruction by fire of forests
is estimated to be $50, 100000 year.
1t would seem, therefore, imperative
that the states should exercise their
jurisdiction over these forests to which
have referred, and which are held
by private individuals, and require
some system of fire protection and the
adoption of the best methods of for
estry.
cit would seem that the states have
right to do this because of the gen.
eral interest which the public has in
the preservation of the forests, in its
equahzing of the water supply, and in
|
its effect upon the climate. The equali-
cation of the water supply, of course,
prevents erosion of the soil and the
wasteful destruction of the best part
of the soil which is carried down the
river with the floods.
81 do not stop to discuss at length
the forestry question. The wonderful
progress made by Clifford Pinchot, with
the earnest support of Mr.. Roosevelt
and Secretary Wilson, at times has met
the denunciation of persons in this
western country on the ground that
the property was being taken which
congress intended for individuals, and
was being held from them.
"But l think, generally, opposition
to Mr.. Pinchot s plans has disappeared,
and that the great body of American
people recognize the benefit of the re-
form in reference to forestry, and
greatly regret that it was not begun
years before.
Congress has come fully to recog-
