Race Clash
RloTlNG BROKE OUT AFREsH AT
cLARksBURG LAST
NIGHT.

cLARksBURG, W. Va, July g.
Rioting broke out afresh here last
night as the result of the race clash
over the Johnson Jcfrries fight with
one thousand parading The streets in
search OF negroes. Quiet for the time
being was secured by the arrest of
Daniel Henry and three other rioters
giving fictitious names and being
strangers in the city. At 10 O'Clock
Judge Raymond Maxwell ordered
Sheriff NJ. ]. Francis to 80 to the aid
OF the city authorities. The mob
grabbed a negro from Grafton out of
an automobile but lie was rescued by
the police.
The blacks generally retired to their
homes early in the evening and this
prevented serious clashes. Feeling
now appears to be less intense than
last night but 1t sill runs high.

THREATI|ENED'TO
SHOOT JOHNSON.
THREE YOUNG ToUeHs START
TROUBLE AS TRAIN PASSES
OGDEN, UTAH.

OGDEN, Utah, July .6-Jack John,
son was greeted by thousands OF per-
sons last night when the train to
which his private car is attached pull
ed into Ogden. Johnson appeared on
the platform and. in response to cheer
ing, said:
well, people, turned the trick and
Pm going back to Chicago to my old
nanny. went out there determined
to turn the trick and had no trouble
in doing it"
After shaking hands with few
friends. Johnson returned to the car
and seated himself next to an open
window beside his wife.
Three young roughs walked to the
open car window and, applying vile
epithet to Johnson in the presence of
his wife, dared him to come to the
platform. johnson started to his feet.
but one of his companions drew him
down again. The ro&dies rushed to
the rear platform where one OF them
was met with kick from the foot Of
one Of Johnsons trainers and a
mouthful OF tobacco juice in the eyes.
Officers rushed up and forced the
crowd back.
The doors Of the car were locked
and the conductor waved the engineer
to pull out. Several threats of shoot
ing were made by the rough crowd
that had gathered about the car. but
no weapon was displayed.
In speaking of the fight. Johnson
said that in the first few months when
he pushed Jcifries back several times,
he felt that he was tire master of the
situatioc. The crisis Of the fight was
reached in the seventh round said the
champion. In this round. he landed
an effective stomach punch, followed
by blow to the jaw. He said that he
knew then that Jeifries was at his
mercy.
George Cotton. of Johnsons train
ing staff, said:
"when Jeffries and Johnson clinch
ed in the eighth round. Jack said tc
Jeffries: I've got your measure, Mis-
4
tab Jeffries. and am going to put
you out any time want to-"
As result of the experience at the
union station last night. the railroad
officers placed two detectives on tht
train to accompany the champion Il
Omaha.
Johnson intends going direct to New
York, where he opens his theater en-
gagement Monday evening. In thi
party with Johnson was Tom Flana
gan. his manager, George Cotton, Sig
Hart and Prof. Burns. In Chicago
Johnson will spend few hours witt
his mother.

 Chihuahua Enterprise: Ebony is being extensively used as fire wood in the state of Sinaloa. At the Fundicion de Sinaloa, the big foundry and machine works there, great piles of ebony destined for the foundry freboxes are to be seen. Francisco Urriolagoitia, manager of the Fundicion,. states that the timber costs eight pesos a cord and that as a fuel it is almost the equal of coal.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The dis patches annouce that the Monterey News; has. taken a position against MT. Madero, presidential candidate now in prison in that city. Some ugly demonstrations have been made against that paper, say the reports. It is hardly the thing for foreign newspapers to mix up in Mexican politics and the Mexicans resent it. The Mexican Herald is also criticized for the similar inter- ference.
 Mexican Herald: The govern. meht has decided to restore to its original state, as it was in the time of Hidalgo, the parish church of Dolores, where the first grito' was given" Since it is known that up to 1889 no changes had been made in the church, the matter of'restor- ing it to its former state will not be very difficult, but will require the tearing down of numetods small buildings which were erected after that time.

 Mexico Record: The Colima vol. cano has broken out again, with 2 terrible explosion which made the earth tremble for, many mile: around. Streams of lava flowed down the sides of the mountain reaching nearly to the base. anc great quantities of timber were burned. The eruption js said by many to be the most violent that has been noted in many years The meteorological observatory re ports that the eruption may bt taken as an indication that there will be heavy rains during the res of this month and July.

this capital for this, the Centennial year, the one to Col. Joaquin Te- rrazas, the famous Chihuahua sol dier and Indian fighter, is nearly completed. It is located at the junction of Zarco and Cuauhtemoc avenues. The monument to com memorate the battle of the Arroyo del Mortero Is commenced off avenue Zarco. The one to com memorate the battle of Talamantes Is also commenced. It is being To- cated on the little open square on Juarez avenue and between that and Libertad St., short distance below the San Francisco church.
 Mexican Herald: A 9.year-old girl, little Maria de la Luz Islas, is proving herself a real big hearted grown-up, in the manner in which she is answering the call of the centennial committee that each Mexican woman teach some illite- rate person to read and write. This little Miss is teaching her servant twice a day and has great plans for the future development of her pupil. She says that when the servant can read, she will lend her her own books so she can learn all about the heroes, Hidalgo and Mo- relos. The child seems to have absorbed quite a bit of worldly wisdom in her nine years, for she says that the servant will be able to command better wages when once she knows how to read, for her papa pays more to those servants who can read. The medal which'is is offered Mexican women as reward for their instruction seems to have appealed much less to the child than the pbilanthropic idea of bringing some one into the light of knowledge.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The Ma tional Railwaysof Mexico are about to bring into the government mer. ger the Pan. American railway; the rehuantepec National and the 'Ve- racruz al lstmo, according to a high source of information, says the Mexican, Herald. FEN. Brown, president tof the National Rail- ways of Mexico, and officials of the government system, and David E. Thompson, president of Pan Amer ican, are now making an inspec- tion of the properties on: the isthmus. These roads will, accord ing to the report, become a part oi the National Railways of Mexico before the end of the year. It is said that the policy of MT. Brown now is to unite all the systems in which the government is part or principal owner and operate them under one management, thereby saving large sums of money in operation and, at the same time
 putting the National Railways ol Mexico in absolute control of the traffic situation in Mexico.

the necessary preparations for the IN
stallation of the powerful plant are
now well along.
At the mill everything is working
smoothly, all 60 stamps dropping con-
~tinuously and crushing an average Oh
220 tons of ore per day, which amount
will be steadily increased. The first
shipment of bullion and concentrates,
which was sent out last week, amounted
TO " bars of bullion valued at over
$40, 900 and % IONS of concentrates
valued at wei $12,500, the product of
less than half a months run, as the
mill was not started until the 18th OF
May. This amount is exclusive Of the
sands in the tanks, which are valued
at a considerable amount, and when
the ABSORPTION which naturally follows
the starting up of a mill is taken INTO
consideration, il will be seen that the
mill is turning out money at a great
rate. In addition to this output the
company is shipping from 30 to 40 tons
of higher grade ore daily to the sraelter.

BLAKE CONTESTS
THE TOWNSHIP
PATENT

With the fling in the district court
this morning Of a suit by f. f. Blake
against t. L. Foley and Mrs. Foley to
quiet title to a lot in Blake's addition,
the old TOWNSHIP controversy was re-
vived in part. 1t seems that on June
13 the Foleys purchased in front of the
courthouse at government trustee sale
the lot on which the greater portion of
the Blake home at Oasis and Sundog
stands. The lot holding the other part
of the building was bought by j. Ii.
Parks. Blake had filed on that and
other lots, but had later withdrawn his
applications, refusing to pay for deeds
and contesting the right of the trustee
to deal with his property in the Blake
addition.
The Foleys proceeded to take posses
sion of the property under the sale and
now as a result of the suit filed today
they nave been cited to appear in court
tomorrow to show cause why an order
restraining them from proceeding in the
premises shall not prevail.
In his suit Blake contends that while
he once made application in the land
office for a patent to the Miilrace claim,
now known as Blake's addition, the
matter was overlooked and never came
to a hearing under protest. He asserts
further, that such being the case, the
government had no right to issue the
TOWNSHIP patent and include his claim,
Having done so he now insists that the
government can not reopen the mat.
ter, and the claim must stand as a min
ing claim which he car hold by doing
the yearly assessment work.
1t is understood that Blake intends ia
bring similar suits against other pur-
ehasers of property in the addition in
question, which he held before the
trustees sale.
Thompson, Morehouse and Thompson
are attorneys for Blake.

0UARTZITE MILL DROPPING
So OF ITS 40 STAMPS

SEARCHLIGHT, June 13.-Com'
mencing the first of the month, the
Quartzite Mining company has been
dropping 35 stamps steadily. During
May 30 stamps were employed and a
large tonnage was handled. The late
work in the Drake shaft has developed
more water, so that now the company,
by exercising care, has sufficient for the
full 40 stamps, and the full quota of
stamps would be at work except for
lack of power, n engine having a de-
fective cylinder which is inclined to
overhead when heavily loaded.
