pOSSlUIy, Win lt8 u6W record ~ IL
develops from day to day. the story
may find its way into print.
1t is mine with record output
of two million of dollars! Two mil
lion! Remembering that it was To-
Gated in 1852, the amount may not
appeal. But it may have had only 10
years Of real production during that
twelve hundred feet or little more
making it considerably above the
Newhouse with which it will connect
in order to drain it Of water, the
principal cause of its inactivity for
years.
This much stated, where Is there
a business that can output, make
or earn two million dollars? OF
course. there are few such. But
the number is not great. How many
would care to embark in such an en-
terprise If they only knew? But the
two million was not all profit. The
management would be glad to give
half Of it to aid in prosecuting the
other half. That would leave one mill
lion as the earning from one indus
try during a period Of, at the most,
twenty years. One million Of dollars
profit in twenty years is pretty
good earning for any industry. How
many have been able to do it? A
banker at five thousand year would
earn one hundred thousand dollars
in 20 years. 1t is not likely that he
could show an asset of half that at
the end of the period. The man with
ten thousand year income would
only have one hundred thousand in
like period. These figures are a
great way off from one million. the
earning of one mine.
This is not an isolate instance.
In the resumption of the many old
mines of the district, occasional ref
erence is made to the output of
these. How one had a record of such
sum, another of much more, till
the statement would seem almost ex-
aggerated. How many there are,
would take time to demonstrate, but
it can be relied upon that nearly all
of any great depth must have earned
| from, in the thousand mark, up to a
million or more. Nor is that all.
They are beginning to do it all over
again. Made possible by drainage and
new appliances, they will begin where
work ceased wears ago 1t is this
that many do not understand. The
inference was that when mine shut
down it meant no more ore. 1t is
not SO with the Gilpin mines. 1t is
the story Of dozens Of late. The wat
er eliminated, their resumption is as
sured. No particular obstacle than
that being in the way.
So, that a mine in this district
with record output can resume op-
Grafton as soon as water is drained
from the openings, makes the work
and its results a fascinating propos-
ition to those mining inclined. More
is offered for the investment than
many another business. AS said, there
are few that can show a record Of
six figures in life time or in three
generations of activity. But right here
can be found properties that may be
made to earn more than in the past.
The story of the War Dance, paying
for itself from the dump, is proof
strong as holy writ.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
QUIET MARKET DAY.


 New York, Feb. 21.-Most Of the favortte issues on the stock exchange were heavy today. although there were no evidences of extensive bear pres- sure or liquidation. Traders were en- gagged so busily with securities of the Gould roads that they gave little atten- tfon to the remainder of the list, and it dropped through neglect. Indications of recent accumulation of the Gould securities by strong interests attracted a. large speculat tive following to them, and when the market opened the buy ing of these stocks and bonds which sent them up sharply toward the close of yesterdays session, was resumed. Belief is gaining ground that the move ment Is in connection with broad plan which will probably not be con- summated for some time. It was re- called that when George J. Gould's approaching retirement as active head of the Missouri Pacific was announced the intimation was conveyed that change in control of the other Gould properties would probably follow
 The days business was conducted largely in tho morning, in which deal ings in Gould securities ran into large totals Missouri Pacific Denver and Rio Grande, St. Louis Southwestern preferred. Texas and Pacific and Wa bash common and preferred all made substantial gains. The market as a whole fell off, although there was some improvement at midday. The influence of the holiday tomorrow was felt in the afternoon, and trading was at a low ebb. In the final hour the market became more active at lower prices and the closing was heavy. with slight losses in the usually active stocks.
 Business was relatively more active in bonds than in stocks. Transactions in the first two hours were greater than the total for several recent days, but reflected no widening of investment demands. since the bulk of the dealings was in the Gould issues. Wabash ex- tension fours temporarily gained more than three points, their maximum ad- vance for the week thus far exceeding six points.
 Tn spite of the largest gross earnin gs in the history of the Delaware Lacka- wanna and Western railroad, as shown in the report of the fiscal year ended Dec. 91. net revenues of the road de- creased $793,000, owing largely to higher wages. The earnings from the cornpany's coal department fell off $1.247 900, and decrease of $2.430, 900 is shown under the head, of "sundry additions" the whole making for a shrinkage in surplus of s4.454,D00. The amount of sundry additions in, 1909 however, included profits from the sale of 37 900 shares of Lehigh Valley amounting to s2,s22,ooo. Lacl1awanna shares advanced IS points today
 Copper shares were quiet today and the price of the metal in London was lower
 The only change in the money mar ket was the placing of one-year loans at four per cent Total interest and dividend disbursements for March are estimated at $11s.000,000. which com pares with ss5.000.000 for February and "107000.Oo0 for March of last year. sM
 The bond market was strong in sym pathy with the movement in the Gould issues. Total sales, par value, $5.35S,- 0o0.

LANGFORD WON ON LANG's FOUL
Australian Was Nearly Out When DisquaIifed+ Hope
 lessly Outc1assed by colored Fighter.

London. Feb. .21.-Bill. Lang. Who once held the heavyweight championship of Australia, was no match for Sam Langford, ahe American colored pugil- ist, in a scheduled twenty round bout at the Olympia tonight. Langford won in the sixth round. when Lang was dis qualified, but the contest could not have gone much longer, as Lang was almost out when he committed the foul.
 Six thousand spectators gathered at the Olympia to witness what they ex- pected would be a long and fast fight, and they showed great disappointment when the contest ended so abruptly. After six fierce rounds, when Lang ford was down, the Australian in a can and struck him, and imm mediately the referee proclaimed Langford the winner.
 The saying "A good big man will al- ways beat good little man proved a fallacy. for the Australian, with all his natural advantages, including an ex- tra fifty-two pounds in weight, was hopelessly outclassed by the colored fighter. who walked into him and hit him from all angles, where and wheD he willed. Lang was all nerves. He seemed scared to death, and his dis qualification was the best thing that could have happened, for he was so groggy that he was bound to have been put out if he had not transgressed.
 The only redeeming feature of Lang's showing was his gameness in taking punishment As early as the first round Sam punched him all over the ring. In the second the negro forced the Australian into neutral corner and dropped him for a count of nine with terrific left and right swings to the jaw.
 Lang went down again for nine in the third round by right to the point of the jaw, but he came back in the fourth and stood up and exchanged left and right swings with Langford at terrific rate.
 At that period of the bout both of Lang's eyes were almost closed and Langford was laughing.
 The Australian took a long count twice more in the fifth, but in~spite of the heavy punishment he had received he carried the fight to the '.tar baby" the next time up and in a fas. might ing rally put the latter down, but this was more by accident than anything else. Lang was greatly excited and pretty hazy by this time, and he rush. ed his opponent, striking him heavily before Langford could regain his feet. He was then disqualified.

class that McErath displayed and was nothing more than a mild trial horse for Gotch who toyed with him at will Gotch started to kid Berger, clean cut chap, similar in type to Sam An sderson, and threw him around quite bit until he forced him to the mat on full body hold in II minutes flat The work was not nearly as fast as the opening bout.
 Gotch, therefore. was declared the winner.
 Preliminary Attractions.
 For preliminaries Edward D. Whit on and Albert Be1waire tried conclus ions for the truckmen's championship of the city. The first fall went to Whiton in s minutes on a full body hold. Belwaire refused to come out again and the match. was awarded to Whitop.
 Young Hendeks of Boston, formerly of this city, and Peter Lewis of Willi- mantle then went at it for fast and furious few moments, giving a fair exhibition for the first ten or twelve minutes, although they both played to the audience too much. They were pretty evenly matched, but Lewis finally pinned Hendelxs down with a front body hold in 16 minutes and 30 seconds They continued to wrestle without any let up except to dispute the decision of the referee, and went to a draw during the remainder of the half hour. Referee Lundin decided in favor ~of Lewis as he won the first fail nadshowed up to a little better adyantage.
 It was announced the Zbyszko would be matched with noted wrestler for this city two weeks hence.
 About fifteen from NorWich attend ed the match and were well satisfied with the fine showing that the Irish Giant made.
Norwich bulletin., 1911-02-22

Hjalnar Lundin, the Swedish cham pion, was referee, and L. N. Dondero was tinekeeper and announcer
 McGrath' was the first man pitted against the giant Gotch-;lnd he is certainly a veritable giant, with limbs like those of a grand piano, and all the remainder of his anatomy in equal proportion. He was good and big all over McGrath looked like boy be- side him and Gotch apparently thought that he was up against an. easy thing, but he soon disabused his mind of this fallacy and had to work good and hard in order to worst Me Grath, who had his great opponent sweating and pufting to a considerable extent before the fall was obtained. McGrath deserves special credit for the exceptionally fine exhibition that he put up against the champion and even more when the fact that McGrath wrestled throughout with q badly swollen and bandaged with yards up- on yards of rubber tissue.
 Gotch started to josh McGrath right off the reel and shot off what he be- lieved to be catchy epithets ils just enough loud a tone of voice to reach the ears of ringsiders. After five min utes of strenuous wrestling in which the Irish Giant held his own in grand style, Gotch remarked to Lundin. the referee, This is one of my best ones grabbing McGrath with a semi nelson and crotch hold, but it was not invin- cible, for AIcGrath broke it in a minute or so. They took a standing position and immediately tried for new holds. No matter what Gotch sprang upon McGrath the latter was right there and extricated himself from seeming ly unbreakable holds with praisewor-g thy facility, although at a great sacri flee to his physical condition, when it is considered that such an enormous mass of humanity was on top of him. McGrath carried the match right to Gotch and ripped him and tumbled around the mat quite q bit, worrying Gotch little. Gotch let up bit on his kidding until he had obtained what he thought was all to the mustard. re- marking. Heres the best onel" snatching McGrath amidship, but even that was not good enough for Me Grath, as he squirmed out of it after good hard work that won him liberal hand from the assembled crowd. Gotch was too prone to continually boast about his good holds. which repeatedly refused to work out as he anticipated. as McGrath was far more expert than he had any inkling of and showed up strong against big odds. Gotch sput- tered, T hope the next fellow isn't such a tough proposition.' Gotch then worked McGrath into bad arm and wrist hold that the latter broke after grand struggle, and this oaus- ed Gotch to shake his head dubiously and mediate for a moment. Shortly after, the big truck horse got McGrath in a bad way again and caught him with half-nelson and crotch hold, which finally wore McGrath down SC that he was compelled to give way to the great hulk pinning him closer and still closer to the mat. The fall was Gotch's in P minutes and 30 seconds on half nelson and crotch hold. Both were given rousins hand by the au- dience.
 Berger Was Easier.
 Otto Berger was then sent against Gotch, but did not begin to show the
