No coal is mined in this country
lower than a depth of 1900 feet, while
several English mines penetrate $500
feet down, and there are mines in Bel
gium 1000 feet deep. Eight inch
seams of coal are mined commercially
abroad, while few veins less than four
teen inches thick are worked in this
country.
In paper read before the Institu-
tion of Electrical Engineers at Man
chester, England, recently, the maxi
mum output of the five powerIstations
at Niagara Falls was stated at 100000
horsepower, distributed over dis
tance of $50 miles. This distance will
soon be increased to 250 miles, and
then, said the authors of the paper,
such a system of distribution will be
in operation as would, il 1t were in

country with the electrical energy 1t
required, from one central station.

.LAMP|R|S WINS
FALL FROM MAN
YOUNG GREEK GRAPPLER, WHO
APPEARED HERE, GETS DRAW
IN DAVENPORT.

Lucas Lampiris, the idol Of the OF
tumwa Greek colony, who became a
favorite with many local wrestling
fans by his performance with Frank
Strickland at the Grand some time
ago, appeared in draw contest with
Robert Anderson Friday night at Dav-
export. The Times of that city tells
of the bout between I4ampiris and An
derson as follows:
THE toughest bout Of the evening
was offered by Lucas Lampiris, the
Greek grappler, and Robert Anderson
of Moline. The latter was substituted
yesterday afternoon for Cliff Scher-
merhorn of Burlington, who was In
jured in bout at Monmouth Thurs
day night and was unable to appear
here last evening Though Anderson
had but short notice, and had not been
in mat engagement since he met
Voss at the Burtis several weeks ago,
he showed that he keeps himself in
excellent condition. Both men worked
so hard and set such a fast pace that
after each won a fall, it was decided
to call the affair draw in order to
allow the main bout to go on.
LAS soon as Lampiris and Anderson
went on the mat, it was seen that the
bout was for blood. Lampiris is anx-
ious to build up a local reputation,
and he rushed Anderson right off the
reel. The Greek Is a well developed
and tricky wrestler, but in Anderson
he found a stocky- built and aggressive
grappler who has considerable know.
ledge of the game. Lampiris set the
pace at the start, but he soon found
that he would have to extend himself
and eased UP bit. The scissors hold
was his favorite. but Anderson broke
himself away from several that the
Greek secured around his neck. Final
ly Anderson got the upper hand, and
after tough battle, took reverse
half-nelson and cross lock for the first
| fall in 2S minutes.
"The crowd warmed UP during this
bout. The Greek clan was assembled
at the ringside, and cheered their man
from the start. Anderson had an
equal numebr of admirers, and when
| they came on for the second fall both
received a generous ovation. The sec
ond bout was even harder than the
first, both utilizing practically the
same tactics. Anderson, however,
seemed to be firing, and the foreigner
set the pace. After 3S minutes of hard
tussling, Lampiris secured half-nel-
son and toe hold, and Anderson's
shoulders went to the mat Both men
were tired after struggling for over an
hour for the two falls, and as the hour
was getting late the verdict rendered
| by Referee John Voss was draw, the
decision being favorable to both con
| testants."

MORAN AND MURPHY ARE READY
FOR THEIR GO TONIGHT ON
PACIFIC COAST !;

Tommy Murphy for their fight tonight
in Dreamland rink under the auspices
Of Jim Coffroth's club. The wagering
has been very lively during the last
two days. Commissioner Tom Corbett
handling about $4,000. 1t was even
money till yesterday when several
Moran bank rolls were tossed in, and
thus the price was forced to 10 toS9 IN
favor Of the Briton.
Both men are we'll below the weight
1873 pounds. Moran weighted 131 yes
terday and Murphy was but half q
pound heavier. The Harlem lad has
made great hit with the fans of San
Francisco, rand through they have neve
seen him in action, they are betting
their money on him. Moran is well
known here, having fought five times
during the last two years and hall.
But the fact that Murphy fought him
all over the ring three times recently
in short bouts has led many to believe
that Harlem Tommy was overlooked
in the past, and that ne will make
better fight Of 1t this time.
Murphy is described as pelus Ieoi
ing sort of fighter for six and ten
rounds. This is his distance. he mas
never had any experience over the
twenty round course, while Moran has
a decided liking for that distance. Ihus
this is an edge for the Englishman.
It must be said for Murphy that he
has displayed plenty Of speed ana
science in his training. Many an IN
terested fan has watched him day arter
day over the Freeman park gym
nasium All of them came away con-
WINGED that Tommy is fighter who
fights one who will give them good
hard run for their money, even II ne
fails to bring it through the front door.
The fight means lot to both OF the
boys, it will be sort Of survival OF

will have a change to get on with Ad
