MUCH INTEREST
IN THE WEEKS
ATTELL Fight

GOLDFIELD, Jan. eddie
Graney, the we'll known San Fran
cisco sporting authority and the man
who has judged many big fight on
the Pacific coast, has been selected to
referee the twenty-round go next
Thursday in this city, of Abe Attell
against Freddie Weeks. Graney
wired Tex Richard that he would do
anything for him at any time, so
Richard told him to come on and do
the work. The contest will be for the
featherweight championship of the
world and many thousands of dollars
have already changed hands in the
Goldfield district on the result. The
odds appear to be slightly in favor
of Attell so far, but are liable to
switch just before the fight. Attell
is worlds champion and Weeks
holds the title of Colorado, Montana,
Nevada and several other states.
bOLH men are dUOuL DIS SfCuly
matched as could be desired. They
have met before in Los Angeles when
Weeks received an unexpected blow,
and lost the fight. Weeks was never
in better trim than at present and is
putting up a good wad of his own
money on the result. He is training
hard at Jumbotown, a suburb OF
Goldfeld, while Attell started work
yesterday at the Olympic club before
a throng of spectators. Attell says
that he knows he is going up against
one of the stiffest matches in hi:
ring career, but adds that there will
| be do doubt as to the outcome. Tht
men daily take long sprints in thu
! face of high wind which is equal tt

claims that the altitude of Goldfield

mile, does not affect him materiall

The attention which the Broken |
Hills mine is attracting from mining
men is almost universal, an inquiry
from the London Daily Mail having
come to Tonopah for information re-
garding this property The latest re-
ports from the camp are to the eff
feet that some of the leasers have
started in in dead earnest to develop
their allotted ground. The hoist has
arrived for the Broken Hills Lease
syndicate operating on block IL, and
these people will put down one of the
deepest shafts in the camp. The
Broken Hills Consolidated Leasing
company, in which Walter Whitmore
of Goldfield is largely interested, has
put on within and has it's shaft
down seventy feet. This shaft will
be continued to at least the 100 foot
point before any drifting is done.
Some very rich ore in place has been
discovered at surface fifty feet from
where the shaft is being sunk This
is the characteristic Broken Hills
phenomenal ore and the specimens
shown will run into the thousands of
dollars per ton. The Helena lease
is sinking a shaft on Block 26 and
has an exceedingly favorable show
ing. This company started opera
tions by thoroughly trenching the
ground and discovered a vein crop
ping to the surface the rock being
identical in appearance with that
carrying high values in the COM
pany's shaft. 1t did not, however
show any values at surface, but the
management of this lease, knowing
its possibilities, started sinking on
the svein. This shaft is now thirty
five feet deep and an average sample
taken clear across the bottom of thG
shaft shows values of $3.50 per ton
The main shaft OF the Broken Hills
company is now down $50 feet ant
