Johnson Gets laxative.
For instance, Johnson waxed rather
loquacious when appearing at Toron-
to. Johnson is very apt to become
boastful while slipping the beverage
that he did not drink out of pail be-
fore he became champion. One of
Johnson's reported remarks to a coterie
of hangers-on follows:
'Jeffries is making hay while the
sun shines. Do you thing I would
confine myself to six weeks or two
months training if I thought he was
in earnest about this battle? Not a
chance in the world. If I thought the
bout was surety, would be training
now. Did this one night stand game
ever fit any one for fight? Think it
over"
And the wearied sporting public is
thinking it over.
Jeffries is scheduled to end his the
atrical tour tomorrow at Duluth. There
is no gainsaying that his path should
be to the mountains and the simple
life. If the big fellow fails to do this

MULE GOES LAME; $500
NUGGET FOUND IN HOOF
Prospectors Unable to Determine
Where Animal Picked up the
Valuable Lump of Gold

SAN BERNARDINO, May 22.-While
returning from a prospecting trip Of
five months through the desert regions
of the country, during which they
failed to find any rich properties, Jack
Desmond and Clyde Durham noticed
that their pack mule had gone lame.
They investigated and found a gold
nugget embedded in the bottom of the
animals hoof. They state that the
value of the chunk of gold is $780,
How long their mule had carried
know, and they have slight chances
of ever locating the spot where the
animals hoof picked it up. That it had
been wedged in the hoof for many
weeks, during which time they travelled
many miles, is evidenced by the fact
that the nugget was covered with lay
er after layer of foreign substances,
gathered up by the mules hoof in their
Wanderings.
The men are at once to start out
on a search for the spot where their
pack animal picked up the nugget. 1t
is their plan to submit the layers of
foreign substances to professors at
Berkeley, in an effort TO learn from
the soil and mineral experts what sec
ton of the country they were picked
up in.
The search for this spot where mug
gets evidently lie about upon the sur
face of the ground promises to vie with
those of the famous lost mines of the
desert, the Peg-leg, the Lost Gun
sight and others.

LOWE REPORTS PROGRESS
ON BIG AIRSHIP PROJECT

PASADENA. May 29.-The Lowe air
ship project, which received the in
dorsement of the directors of the Pasa-
dena board of trade several weeks ago,
is assuming definite shape. Prof. T.
S. C. Lowe reports that samples of a
specially prepared silk for the big gas
bag have been received and that or
ders will be placed soon for large guam
titles of the material. He states that
special looms are being constructed for
the manufacture of this cloth, of which
a stripe one inch wide in a test showed
a lifting capacity of 175 pounds with
out any sign of strain being apparent.
Other material is being assembled and
a coating which, it is stated, will be
impervious to the action of gas is being
prepared.
Prof. Lowe states that when the ma
terial is assembled here the matter of
construction will require but a few
weeks and that two large airships will
be ready for demonstration the COM
ing summer. It is planned to con-
struct one for local use with lifting
power of ten tons and one for long
distance hauls wioh a carrying capac-
ity of twenty to thirty tons.
Over a hundred letters have been
received from congressman, senators,
officials of the war department and
others indorsing the project, and many
of those men have agreed to be on
hand this fall at a demonstration to
be arranged for their benefit. A num-
ber of these letters pledge the support
of the writer's for an appropriation
for a government aeronautic school
and training station to be established
in this locality.

PORTRAIT OF
DAUGHTER; HIT BY AUTO
Well Known Eastern Artist Run
down at Orange and
LummiS Streets

Shortly after the last stroke of his
brush on a painting of the face of his
dead daughter. a work on which he
had devoted the evening of his life,
George N. Jessett, 70 years old, living
at 1910 Ingraham street and well known
in art circles in the east. was struck
by an automobile at Orange and Lum-
mis- streets yesterday and received in
juries from which it is thought he will
die. The automobile was driven by
r. J. Coke. a retired capitalist, living
at 1855 Orange street. Jessett, who
is said to be defective in his hearing,
walked directly into the path of the
machine, which was coming at a rapid
clip down Lummis street.
Jessett's right leg was broken in
several places, his nose literally
smashed and he received numerous
bruises about the neck and sides with
possible internal injuries that render
his condition serious because of his
age. He was removed to the receiving
hospital and later taken to the Good
Samaritan hospital. Relatives in the
east have been notified of his pre-
cariOuS condition.

BOOST DAGGETT TO LEAD
BOARD OF TRADE FORCES

PASADENA, May 23.-The latest ru-
mors in board of trade circles are that
C. D. Daggett, who was president of
the board for three years, 1899, 1900 and
1901, will be reelected director at the
annual meeting tonight, and that the
presidency of the organization will be
offered to him when the directors meet
to organize.
Among those most prominently men
toned for directors are Harry

and F. E. Twombly.
The watchword on all sides is ''Har-
mony," and all rumors of split over
the election of directors are set at
rest so far as can be learned. 1t is
conceded by all that the most import
ant matter to come before the meeting
is the Endorsement or rejection of the
report from the Cary committee of five

that the company will cOncede five

ABSENCE OF UPHOLSTERER
PUZZLING TO MERCHANTS

SAN BERNARDINO, May 22.-The
mysterious disappearance of Richard
Brasor, an upholsterer who it is re-
ported, has been missing since Tuesday,
is puzzling local merchants. Brasor
two months ago opened up an uphol-
stering establishment on Court street.
1t is said that a considerable portion of
the money to finance the scheme was
furnished by George Auble, the son of
the ill-fated police officer, Walter
Auble, killed some months ago in Los
Angeles by a highwayman.
Saturday the wholesalers took charge
of the place and removed a consider
able portion of the stock, which it ap-
pears belongs to them. Brasor was ap-

FAVOR CHANGE IN PLANS
FOR MUNICIPAL TRACKS
Long Beach City Council Would
Leave Roadway for Teams
on the City Docks

LONG BEACH, May 22.-The mem
bers of the city council favor a change
in the system of tracks on the munich
pal docks at the harbor. 1t is proposed
to take out the two tracks which have
been built down the center of the citys
peninsula and to build, instead, tracks
along each side of the piece and close
to the bulkhead lines.
Under the new plan there would be
trackage within eighty-six feet of dis
charging vessels, and the flfty-foot
strip down the middle of the docks
could be used as a roadway for teams
A strip thirty-fve feet wide would re-
man between the tracks and this road
way, for the storage of freight.
