BROKEN WATER MAIN SUPPLYING c. c. SHAFT
SHORT DELAY

There was considerable excite
ment on Taylor street late yester-
day afternoon, when the big 16-inch
pipe supplying the c. & c. shaft
and hydraulic elevators burst with
a loud report and throwing water,
dirt and rocks hundred feet in
the air, sweeping down Taylor
street in a torrent until word could
be sent to the tank to shut off the
supply. Very little damage was
done, and large force of men was
at once put at work repairing the
pipe, a new length being put in,
and shortly before noon, after an
all night effort, the water was once
more turned in and the pipe slowly
filled up. The hydraulic pump was
started after a 20-hour shutdown
only. The water in the bottom OF
the G. & c. shaft rose about ter
feet during the shutdown, and will
cause but short delay in resum
ing work clearing out the 1850 sta

The methods of unwatering the c.

The present pumping equipment
at the C. G. c. shaft consists of an
installation on the 215O level of

having a capacity of 300 gallons

in the main occurred only a few
feet east of the E street tunnel of
the Virginia & Truckee railway,
and is the first break in the line
for about ten years.
Reports from the Ophir mine to-
day state that the southwest drift
on the 2400 level, which has been
in high grade ore for the past four
or five days, continues to give. ex-
cellent assay returns, the round of
holes blasted out early Sunday
morning showing five feet of ore,
the car assays of which ran in ex-
cess of 500 to the ton. The ore
is said to be fully six feet wide at
the bottom, and presents strong,
well defined appearance. 1t is the
largest and best showing of ore yet
found in the Ophir on this level,
and is arousing great deal of
speculative interest. Virginia City

PRIZE FIGHT FAKES
So Declares Governor Gillett, of Cali
fornia Says People are to be Bun coed.

Chicago, June All prize fights
are fakes. / don't want TO have any
thing TO do with them or with any body
who has any interest in them. .
Governor J. n. Gillett Of California,
thus expressed his opinion Of ring con-
tests today to the United Press when
questioned about an interview in which
he declared the Jcffries-Johnson fight
is frame up" Governor Gillett
nominated fistic encounters for prize
money as "hippodromcs TO fool the
people" He also critiscd the Amcrl-
can public for taking more interest in
prize fights than in national questions.
The governor said he would gladly
stop the coming battle for the worlds
championship if he could, but that all
sorts Of frauds are allowed and nobody
has the power to stop them. "
Some time mans public views
don't agree with his private attitude, /"
added the governor. Now that my
private views have become public, |
don't care a continental what anybody
thinks about them. l know what they
think. I think that every prize fight Is
a fake. This Jeffrics-Johnson fight is
simply scheme to make a lot ofmoncy
out of the crcdulity Of the people.
Anybody with the least sense knows
the whites of this country won't allow
Johnson or any other Niger to win
the worlds championship from JEFF
fries. They simply won't stand for it.
johnson knows that. He is no foot.
He knows that to win that fight he
would have to whip every white man
at the ringsidc. So he has agreed to
lay down for the money. Why he would
no more think of trying to knock JEFF
fries out than he would of trying to
stop bolt of lightning. Not that he
might not be able to do it. But | know
he would not only have to whip Jcffrles
but the spectators, the police. and
every white man that could get at him.
When the big championship battle
is ended on July 4, every white man
in this country will be told that white
man has demonstrated the physical
superiority of his race over that of a
rival race, and every one who has no
sense will rejoice in the victory after
vindicating the confidence i'll him.
.Icffrics will retire and Johnson make
more money out Of the credulous fools
Of the country"
