NEW MEXICO NOW
IN FIELD STRONG
Declared That Money Is Al
ready Raised There
For Big Fight.

Las Vegas. n. N. Jan. 3O.-Of all the
western cities that are making DID
for the JOhnsOn-Flynn fight there IS
not one which is saying as little about
it as Las Vegas and 1t is incidentally
a question whether any city has made
as active preparations TO really get the
fight as well as the advance aoVertls-
ing as this one.
Charlie T. Malley, an old time ring
man himself and now prominent
electric dealer here has taken the
matter in hand and it is whispered
already that the necessary 100000 has
been subscribed to guarantee the hight
It is not generally known here that
last week OMalley sent Jack Curley.
FIynn's manager and the promoter OF
the fight $500 as expense money to
come 10 Las Vegas and look over the
field.
Curley is on a round about way to
New Mexico now and when he gets here
there viii be a reception ready and a
strong attempt to make him see that
this is the logical place for the night.
There is no law regarding prize
fighting in the state now since II has
Dassed from the territorial stage and
IL is doubtful IL the legislature soon to
convene will pass any measure mll1tat-
ing against the chance to get the fight
Las Vegas is stirred to the depths
over the chance Of getting the battle
and business men figure that 1t will be
a great boom to a city which shortly is
to have as much adjacent irrigable land
10 offer as any city in New Mexico

thing that il is possible TO Judge Dy'

And now we have come TO a certain
Psychological plane OF this proposed
battle, which we exclusively publish and
which IS at the expense Of the hlgh

The sporting editor Of the big ana
mysterious east is big and re-
sponsible person, of course In the
summer he is cheerful, cheerful because
the ever growing box scores crowd ms

When, however, the baseball ana 1901

plunged into great blue gobS OF

that ''Tv Cobb does not like stage

bIance Of live news. Does he seize upon
the opportunity of a possible cham
pionship fight to fill this arid WasteE

So, briefly. this proposed battle
is getting more py5licity now than it
will ever get, one million times as
much as it intrinsically deserves, and
as the baseball season rounds to, IL
will, If it follows its logical course,

TAPPING LAKE OF GENEVA
Project by Which Water May BE
Brought to Paris by soo-MUe
Canal.

New Yors is not the only great city
that is troubled by the problem OF d
water supply. Paris has so nearly
reached the limit of its convenient
supply thar II has revived the projS CT
Of drawing upon the water of Lake
Geneva.
This lake is in Switzerland. in the
minds of most persons. but most OF
the southern shore is French terri
tory, and although the control OF the
level by the barrage at Geneva is
Switzerland's by treaty. still France
claims II has rights that would allow
1t to lower the level by four inches
during the dry season. which Is all
that is contemplated under the pres
ent plan.
The proposed canal would be over
three hundred miles long. including
many tunnels and the crossing OF
four large rivers. and would cost
about s100.0O0.00O. II has not sd.
vanced beyond the stage OF discus,
sion, but the need OF Paris is so press
ng that it may yet be realized.
