TOM WILLIAMS HAS
i. &. LOST BIG CHIEF

Following the breakdown of Big
Chief. the elegant big chestnut 3
year-old Of Thomas Williams, it is
now reported that Sam Hildreth's
King James is not in the best of
condition. Williams paid $4,000
for Big Chief and will send him
west for stud duty in California.
The Williams horse developed a
bad leg and his extreme weight
made absolute cure impossible.
However, he is in perfect condi-
ton for stud duty. King James has
been reported lame more than once
but the consummate skill of his
owner always saved him.
Earlier in the year 1t was report
ed that James r. Keene's Voter had
gone lame This is untrue. Voter
is In great shape.

INDIANS TOO TIRED, WANT REST-CALL OFF
GAME WITH MEDICINE HAT TEAM FOR TODAY
TOMMY Burns WILL
FIGHT SAM LANCFORD

Burns and Langford together, dis
cussed the situation yesterday with
Sid Hester and Tom O'Day and it
was decided to forward the follow
ing cablegram to Burns, who is at
present at Sydney:
Offer stands. Bonus posted i'm
mediately; 100000 month before
fight"
Joe Woodman, manager of Sam
Langford, said before leaving Los
Angeles that he was perfectly will
ing to send his man against Burns
under the provisions named.
Langford is to box Stanley
Ketchel in Philadelphia towards
the latter end of the present month
and it may be that the bout in ques-
ton will spell disaster for one of
the principals. Should Langford
meet with decisive defeat the
Mission club will undoubtedly en-
deavor to substitute Ketchel for
Langford in the affair with Burns.

GAME WITH MEDICINE HAT
CALLED OFF BY INDIANS

No game of baseball will be play
ed by the Indians today. The con
test scheduled for them this after
noon with the Medicine Hat team
of the Twilight league has been
called off, as the boys are feeling
a little the worse for wear and are
DESTROYS Of resting today.
Nevertheless, the game for tomor-
row between the Indians and the
United Commercial Travellers will
be played at Recreation, with fav-
orable weather conditions. The
whole city is showing a great in
terest in this game, because of the
popularity of the commercial trav-
elers, and 1t is believed that one
of the largest crowds of the Indians
training season viii be in attend
ance.
The sale of tickets for reserved
seats will begin tomorrow moring.
Perhaps the game will be more OF
a burlesque than otherwise, though
President Joe Cohn of the Indians,
Nordyke and Baker are going to
help the Travellers give the leaguers
a drubbing.

gular work has been commenced and
prospects are excellent Shareholders
in the Kehinoor are jubilant over the
prospects of that property. The men
are working on breast of ore 90 feet

hour shifts are worked daily and the
pumps are kept busy all the time.
The mill runs seven hours day and
averages fourteen tons of concentrates.
The company contemplates the pur-
chase of large air compressor which
will give an increased drilling
capacity. The Board of Trade mine

out is of a high quality. The min
ing industry in this immediate
vicinity aside from the above
mentioned properties and certain
drilling prospects, is in a rather
dormant condition, all due, of course
to the most unsatisfactory of market
conditions. When the market does
improve it is very probable that the
majority of the mines will be in better
shape than they ever were.
