Terry Martin beat Eddie Chambers
in a tame bout for the wind-up of the

he lift Martin with wild swings that

as high as the Newark lad. However,
1t is useless to try to dissuade young
sters from taking up the fighting bust
ness. They have the pluck, and are
imbued with the spirit which makes
it impossible to stop them.
Among the latest additions to the
local fighting fraternity, Young Wild
fang and Tommy O'Toole, of Philadel-
phia, appear to be the ones most like
ly to create a stir. The former Is a
fighting machine and has made a hit
with New York fight promoters, White
O'Toole a a record which will COM
pare favorably with any of the little
fellows in the business. He Is under
the management of John D.. Hayes, the
~well-known past worthy president OF
the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and
Hayes promises to take his charge to
the front in a hurry. O'Toole Is a
clever little fellow, with none of the
earmarks of a tough guy Levi He
is making his home in Newark with
his mother. 1t is just possible that
Kline and O'Toole MAJ clash in the
near future. The former Philadelphia
is not averse to making the match, and
Patsy says that he Is willin'. Man
ayers Smith and Hayes will probably
get together in a few days to talk the
matter over. Young Wildfang has sew
eral matches in view, one of them to
be staged as the star bout.

RAILROAD BUILDER .
 GIVES HIS OPINION
Contractor Nelson Says Sum- init Can Be Reached on
 1.1-2 Per Cent Grade

George w. Nelson, a railroad con-
 tractor of large experience, is willing to go on record as saying that rail- road starting one mile below Wort mans roadhouse in Keystone canyon
 can reach the summit of Thompson's pass on 11a per cent grade. This could be done by running the line in the form of a horseshoe to reach the
 top of the big hill. Nelson's experi- ence as q railroad builder entities his opinion to consideration. Heretofore the lowest estimate of the grade to reach the summit was per cent. Nel- son also states that railroad from
 Valdez to the interior is by far the least expensive to build, in that the natural difficulties to be overcome are much less. No glaciers impede the way, no large and expensive bridges are necessary, the only real obstacle being the construction of the road over Thompson's pass, which in the language of M. J. Heney, "does not show sufficient engineering dihi- culties as to be interesting" and which is but little more than 2.0O0 feet above sea level. As stated be- fore, this can be reached by switch back on 1 1a per cent grade. Nelson maintains that the cost of building a railroad to the interior would not ex- ceed from S12,O00 to S15,oOo per mile on an average. Nelson was formerly associated with the big railroad con tractors, Orman & Crook, in work i'm Colorado; built 50 miles of roadbed Tor the Rock Island in New Mexico: constructed the Northern Pacific from Montesano to Ocosto, distance of 42 miles, in company with Contractor Patten; was general superintendent of the Klamath Lake railroad in Northern California; built the street car line in Aberdeen; cut the lower Cascade canal, 30 miles long, and has had various other big contracts. the last of which was on the Alaska Home railroad.

F|DALGO-Al.ASKA
 COPPER COMPANY
Owning Claims Recognized Among Best in Entire
 Sound Country.

In the latter part of June, 1907, Charles Schlosser, who has been in this section of Alaska for many years, and is one of the most intelligent and highly-esteemed prospectors of the Prince William Sound district, dis covered the properties which now constitute the mineral holdings of the Fidalgo-Alaska Copper company. Inn mediately after his discovery and To- cation Of the property, Schlosser re- turned to Valdez and reported his find. Knowing Schlosser SO well and favorably, his report of the extent and character of his discoveries crea- ed quite an excitement in and about Valdez, and many prospecting parties were at once organized and rushed to Fidalgo bay, the point ofsuch discov- cry.
 Schlosser had several offers for his property, but he was SO thoroughly satisfied of the great value and rich ness of the ore deposits that he de- clined all offers.
 The firm of Ostrander & Donohoe. old and stanch friends of Schlosser, however, proposed plan for hand ling and developing the property which was approved by him, and the necessary papers were then prepared and signed,
 Mir. Schlosser, accompanied by Mir. Donohoe and c. W. Harrington, the well-known mining engineer, immedi- ately returned to Fidalgo bay for the purpose of making q thorough exam. ination of and more accurately defin- ing and marking the boundaries of of tho claims heretofore located, and to locate adjoining ground, all of which was done upon their arrival. and within as short time as possible thereafter.
 The examination of the orc crop- pings, made by Harrington at this time absolutely convinced him that the property was of very great value. and that In all human probability would ultimately be developed into n mine rivalling the great "Bonanzao or "Beatson" mine on Latoucbe island.
 Upon returning to Valdez, SchIoss. CT, ostrander & Donohoe, carrying out the terms of the agreement there. tofore entered into between them, organized the Fidalgo.Alaska Copper company under the laws of Alaska, T. J. Donohoe being elected presi- dent; Charles schlosser, vice-presi- dent, and J. Y. Ostrander, secretary of the company.
