The fight was to go 20 rounds
for a purse of $4,000, the largest
ever put up in Great Britain for
featherweights. Several thousand
persons witnessed the bout and not
withstanding the betting favored
Welsh the spectators were greatly
disappointed when the contest came
to an unexpected end, due to Dris-
coll butting his opponent under the
chin with his head.
Welsh, besides being five years
younger than Driscoll, had advan-
tage in weight and reach. His
blows were heavier than those of
the featherweight and he showed
he was able to take more punish

had the advantage on points, but in
the second Welsh landed several
hard blows and his extra weight OF
ten pounds began to tell

ABOUT READY
TO turn ON
MAGIC juice
HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANT WILL
BE PUT INTO COMMISSION
NEXT WEEK

I'VE will be ready to turn on the
Juice from the new Hydro-Electric
plant near Mono lake any time after
Christmas, and Immediately furnish
power for Bodie, Aurora and Lucky
Boy" is the statement of A. f. Die
ter, secretary of the company which
is just bringing this great enter
prise to a successful completion.
Mr.. Dieter arrived from Reno on
Wednesday by automobile, stopping
at Sodaville the previous night, and
will return to Bodie today.
I'VE have been delayed about
three months by being held up by
the government in the work of lay
ing our pipe line across a portion
of a forest reserve, but that diff
Guilty has now been settled and We
are about ready for business" said
Mr.. Dieter. 1.-THE present plant will
have capacity of about 1900 Kill
owats or 1000 h. p., but we expect
to double it's capacity next year.
Our lines are already constructed to
Bodie, Aurora and Lucky Boy, and
are being extended to Rawhide,
Fairview and Wonder as rapidly as
possible.
1--WE will furnish power for the
mines and mills at Bodie and Au-
rora, the mines at Lucky Boy and
the mines at Wonder and Fairview
all of which are now getting really
to connect as soon as they can.
This is the thing most needed to re-
vive the old camps of Bodie and
Aurora which have combined pro-
duction of upwards of 5000 900,
and it will be of equal benefit to
the other camps which it enters
Water for the power plant is
taken from Lake Lundy, about
three miles above the plant. The
lake, which is about a mile long
from 500 to 1900 feet wide and ~
feet in depth at the deepest point
| is a splendid natural reservoir fol
power purposes. A dam was con
structed across the gulch at the
lower end of the lake and tie ca
pacity nearly doubled by raising thu

MAY BUY OLD
AURORA Mines
TONOPAH MINING COMPANY IS
SAID TO HAVE SECURED
MANY OPTIONS

Advices from Philadelphia indi-
cate that the Tonopah Mining COM
pany is planning to acquire a large
acreage of old mining properties at
Aurora, the first county seat of Es-
meralda county, I miles from Bo-
die, in the Sierras. The camp has
a mint record of $22,00O,00O, all
from rich pockets that could be
worked at a profit in the early days.
The Tonopah Mining people have
had Mr.. Spur, the noted geologist
together with their own men, re-
porting on these properties for sew
eral months and are greatly elated
with the successful securing of the
options in question, which have I'M
til November, 1911, to run. They
are anxious to throw men into the
properties at once, but were con-
vinced that on account of climatic
conditions nothing would be gained
in the way of permanent work to-
ward determining the exercising of
the options until the spring.
The Bullitt building crowd are
sure of their engineers and Mr..
Spur will report favorably on the
exercising of the option, which
would mean that the Tonopah Min
ing company will start an enormous
low-grade milling proposition next
year Pending the ultimate con-
summation of these negotiations,
nothing will be done toward extend
ing the Tonopah sand Goldfield rail-
road into the Mono lake country;
but while the options do not make
| it conclusive that the railroad will
| be pushed into this new country
they make it very likely. Those
who are in position to know, feel
that the life of the Tonopah Min
ing company will be heightened an
other generation at least if the en-
gineers of the company report fav-
| OIdDly VII Iut cttuuloillCh VI tuNoE
properties.
The stock broke down to IS on
the leakage of this news and the
false idea that the company was
doing this because it saw the end of
the Tonopah mine. as before ex-
planned. The truth is, however.
that the Tonopah mine has more
known tonnage today than ever be-
fore in it's history. The DEAL how
ever, goes far toward explaining
why the Tonopah Mining company
has kept amassing the large treas
ury surplus it has. 1t is believed
that ultimately this deal will be a
big bull card for the Tonopah Min
ing company, and while the stock
may break further in the next few
days, before any official announce
ment is made, it should not be long
before the stock feels unquestion-
ably the best news from the COM
pany in several years.
