made a hash, but it lasted only for a
brief space. and usually when Jimmy
was preparing a fresh attack The
promoters are now puzzled as to who
to match against Clabby, for he ha~
cleaned up ar the best men of his
class, and the chances are he viii

The crowd was not anywhere near
what it should have been, caused by
the trouble the week previous over

pounds more than Michigan, whom be

corner and he received an ovation.

In the first round .Clabby opened
strong and went after his man from
the jump. It was good. fast sparring,
with Jimmy doing the loop-the-loop in
fine style, but the referee warned them
against too much infghting and Jimmy

blows and he received five times the
number in return. He was glad to
hear the bell ring. The fourth was

tired at the bell from his own exer-

job again and Mark suffered a severe
beating. Toward the bell C1abby

the round sAved him. Mark was or

seventh with Jimmy doing all the exc

the arena.
The end came in the eighth. Jimmy
let go his left TO the jaw and Mark
made flash and sent three to Clsbby's
face, but 1t was only fash, for the
Yankee sent left to the body and 4

Hopes to Arrange a Fight IN
London to Get Negroes

(By w. W. Naughton).

The quest for a white mans hope" may

PICKER Bill Lang, conqueror Of Bob
Fitasimmons, Bill Squires and Jack
Burns, as the man to relieve Jack
Johnson of his laurels.
In a letter just received he writes
from London as follows:
81 have just matched Sam Langford
and Bill Lang and will endeavor to
match the winner against Jack John
son. 1 will give it as my opinion now
that Lang is the man who is destined
10 meet Johnson for the championship
Of the world. and you can place me on
ecord that Bill Lang of Australia will
be the next worlds champion. I feel
certain of this. He has improved out
of all recognition. He now weighs in
condition 225 pounds. and is perfectly
strong and well, and the able tuition
he received from Corbett Fitzsimmons,
Mccoy and Burns. has placed him in a
position today to be capable of contest
ing with any man living"
Faith Stronger Than Ever.
The above was written before the
contest between Jack Burns and Lang
took place, so that it goes without say
ing that Mcintosh is surer than ever
Of the bright future he has predicted
Tor the Australian heavyweight Wheth-
or MeIntosh's opinion of Lang is shar-
cd to any extent. the writer has no
means of knowing. but one thing is
certain If Lang defeats Langford, as
Mcintosh seems to think he will,
match between Lang and Johnson
would have a much more even look
than it bears at present.
Mcintosh says that Lang weighs 225
pounds 'in condition" This is hard to

STATEHOOD SURE
PRESENT SESSION
Passage Of Nelson Amendment to the
Flood Resolution Practically AS
to President Taft.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 2.-It
ought to be a source Of intense re-
and New Mexico, that after all the
years of waiting, and the nervous
strain of having been dangled in the
air.on mere thread of hope for many
months, the question of statehood
matters is in such condition at this
time that passage of Nelson amend
ment to the Flood resolution seems
practically assured. This amend
ment is in substance the minority re-
port of the house committee on ter
ritories, and is known to be salts
factory to President Taft. 1t is TAX
en- for granted that there will be
some opposition manifested to this
process of legislation but the feel
ing seems to be general that state
hood will be a reality, SO far as con-
gress is concerned, during August.
One result that may or may not be
fully realized in the two territories,
is bound to be the influx of people
from the east and middle west, who
during the past year have been ac-
quainting themselves with the great
wealth of natural resources, with a
view to making their permanent
homes in one or the other of the new
states The spirit of Horace Greeley
is as much alive today as ever, and
in all parts of the thickly settled
eastern portion of the country the in
clination to "go vest is as keen as
in the earlier history of our country.
While it seems to be taken for
granted that the new state of New
Mexico will elect a set of republi-
can officers, including a congressman
and United States senators, it is just
a little bit puzzling to figure out the
Arizona situation. The newspaper
scribes of Washington seem to have
determined many months ago that
Arizona will surely go democratic,

2 PER CENT DOPE
IS CONFISCATED
Agent Babcock Orders Indian Police
to Hold Up Consignment of Near
Was Taken.

Another attempt is being made by
LEGAL government officials 10 stop the
transit of liquor through the reserva-
t;on into the town of Parker. Last
Monday Superintendent Babcock OF
Tie Colorado River Indian reserva-
tion sent a detail of Indian police
arross the river and confiscated five
barrels of near-beer consigned to B.
+ brown.
The temperance beer was shipped
To ca.zona and was hauled from that
piace to the California side of the
r:ver, from which point it was to be
tnken across the river by boat. pro-
vided the Indian police had not been
on nand to stop it.
While temperance beer appears
harmless to the average person, it's
content of over one-half of one per
cent alchol brings it under the head
ing Of alcoholic beverages according
to the United States revenue laws.
The consignment confiscated is sup
posed to contain per cent alcohol.
The sale of real beer is prohibited
in Parker and if Mr. Babcock is up
held by the department at Washing
ton it looks as if imitation beer can
not be had here unless smuggled in
Sometime ago, before the transfer
of superintendent Lonergan, an effort
was made by that official to prohibit
the transfer of liquor through the res,
ervation, but Mr. Lonergan was no.
titled by the department that nothing
could be done In the matter, that the
statutes did not prohibit the transit
of liquor through Indian reservations
MIR, Babcock has only recently as
sumed the duties of superintendent
and it is believed that when the mat
ter is brought to the attention of the
department he will receive the same
information which Mr.. Lonergan re
ceived-that liquor can be carried in
transit through the reservation.

national capital are happily impressed
with the correctness of this position
On the other hand, there is not a re-
publican leader to be found anywhere
who will admit that there is any like
lihood of his party not being able to
carry the Arizona election. Natural
ly Washington republicans, including
members of both houses of congress,
expect that the people Of the new
states will be gracious enough to rec
ognize the splendid work of their
delegates, and promote Messrs. Cam
eron and Andrews to the senate AS
far as the national administration is
concerned, these two gentlemen are
bound to have the support of the
big powers controlling the republican
party. 1t has been decidedly appar-
ent through the attitude of the large
number of citizens who have been
here since statehood matters came
before congress, that multitudinous
number of candidates have their light
ming rods UP. With two new states
going into the union at one time and
with the destinies of the great polit-
ical parties hanging in the balance,
the likelihood is that when election
time rolls around, political battle
will be pulled off in the southwest
that will make all former attractions
on the political battle field look like
Sunday-schCol picnics in compari-
son. The "big fellars" are going into
the Arizona and New Mexico fights

Down Bonanza.

1t is currently reported from relia-
BILE sources that an European syndi-
cate is negotiating for the purchase
of the famous United Verde mine.
A number of leading financiers are
on their way to the territory for the
purpose of examining the property,
and if it comes up to the standard of
worth its reputation bears, an offer
will be made for it's acquisition
Those in touch with Senator w. A.
Clark, the owner of the property, as
.erI that no amount of money would
induce him to part with the United
Verde mine
For number of years, there have
teen standing offers for the prop
erty,' ranging firm fifty to one hun
dred million dollars, but enormous
IS the amounts seem, they did not
appeal to the ex-senator from Mon
tana.
The United Verde has the richest
and most extensive column of ore
kf wn to the mining world of today,
a treasure vault from which can
hc drawn untold millions long after
its present owner has ceased to add
tp his already colossal fortune.
But few men, besides Mr.. Clark,
are cognizant of the great wealth
contained within the United Verde
boundaries Men who for years have
been employed in the underground
wo1 kings, are ignorant of the ex-
tent and values of the ore deposits,
and outsiders have only partial in

The United Verde mine has a dis

This great property was turned
