own home. It was strangely quiet
around the camp today.
But for the shifting, restless crowds
which thronged the road before his
cottage, there would have been no

Reno. July 3.-The trainers and
sparring partners Of Jim Jeffries
tonight gave to the Associated Press
their opinions OF the result and of
their chieftains as follows:
BY sam Barger, manager Of JEFF
fries:
"Jeffries has never been one ounce
better than he is right now. l would
have liked to have seen him do much
more boxing. He Is prepared to go a
route, all right, but because of the
lack of sparIing he viii not warm up
TO his pace as speedily as II he had
had an abundance of glove practice.
I don't think Johnson can hurt him,
and the further the fight goes the
more safe are Jeffries' chances"
l;y aDcs j Corbett chief of staff
at .oiirics camp:
II believe Jcffries to be in great
condition for long, gruelling battle
! M satisfied that no distance would
be too great for him. Personally
however, I'm sorry he has not done
more fast work such as boxing and
shadow dancing Because of the lack

BY Roger Cornell chief trainer for
Jeffrios.
Il consider that Jeffries could not
possibly be in any better physical fix
than he is today. He has gone
through a systematic course of train
ing that will later be found to be an
absolute novelty in the boxing game.
1t doesn't make much difference how

SECURITIES WILL ADVANCE.

The week which has just passed
has witnessed some unexpected
changes in the market. From all
times throughout the country, and
the most gratifying of these assur-
ances is that they come from the men
who are interested is the greatest in
dustries of the country. The alarm
lists found something to dread in the
California primaries. but it must be
noted that there was no dropping off
in the values of industrial securities.
Locally there was considerable buy
ing of local securities at the low
prices which prevailed.
This district could not be in better
condition. both physically and finan-
cially, but it has to swing with the
pendulum of the times, and securi-
ties went down a bit with the shrink
age of like securities on the outside.
The men of means are back from
their vacations, and the activity of
September is at hand. The men of
the big industries, as well as the big
corporations are being quoted with
expressing the most optimistic views
on the situation, and there is a very
sure indication that better times are
at hand. and that the country is
about to feel the influence of the gen.
eral prosperity. Wool, which has
been a dead issue on the market for
a long time. has advanced in price.
the price of copper metal has gone up
and the prices for the larger copper
securities we're strong at the close
of the week.
So far as can be seer there is not
a single influence at work which
would have for its purpose the him
drance of prosperity. In the general
market, to be sure, the public has
not yet begun to operate. But the
general public never does commence
operations until the assurance Is had
that the insiders are themelves buy
ing. This assurance is established,
and the time is at hand for the public
to jump in which means a big ad-
vance on securities of all descrip-
tons.

this state touches a high level. You

1t away for one term of public Office,
won by such devices. Because no
man-for selfish reasons-ever de-

You have also made other false
statements in your present campaign
of the state and have caused some
newspapers to repeat them. II / have

legal maxim with which you are ia
