MANY DISAGREE
OVER WINNER Of
LAST COAST GO

Ii seems that the fight fans of this
country will never be satisfied until
Champion Ad Wolgast and Joe Riv-
ers, the Mexican, are rematched. Ev-
cry city in the state where the NOV
ing pictures have shown. there is
always an argument between the low
ors of the boxing game: Some
claim that Wolgast had the best of
the fight, while others say that Riv-
ers was leading all the way Then
we have the spectators who were at
the ringside and over two-thirds of
them are of the opinion that the
Mexican was given the worst of the
decision. The ending of the last
bout was SO unsatisfactory that il
will be discussed between the fight
fans for a long time and the only
way to satisfy them as to who is the
best man, is for the boys to meet
again and settle once and for all as to
who is the best fighter.
Rivers is at present matched to
meet Joe Mandot, on Labor day, at
Los Angeles; if he wins the champion
will have to meet him in return
match or admit that the Mexican is
too tough and that he had his hands
full at the last meeting
GTOmOteT rom McCafeN 0du up q
diamond championship belt. which
was to be presented to the winner of
the last bout. Wolgast called for the
belt the day after the fight and Nc
Carey refused to give it to him. tell
ing him that he told Wolgast and Riv-
ers he would give it to the boy who
won, and he didn't think Wolgast
won. The moving pictures of the
contest are the sensation of the year
and McCarey stated that they are
drawing better than any pictures that
were ever exhibited of boxing con
test.
Every fight fan is anxious to see
them as the boys will fight again
in the near future, and they want to
see who had the best of the last
bout and who is really the best man.
Many think that Wolgast will never
be the same as he was before he
went through the operation last
Thanksgiving day. and that he will
soon be defeated for the title. At
present there are several challengers
for it, but Rivers look to have the
best chance of any to become the
next lightweight champion.

WHERE THE FIFTY DOLLAR
SLUG WAS FIRST COINED

BESIDE the picturesque altnouRn
nearly vanished ruins of Mt. Ophir
mill in Mariposa county. is crum
bling pile of stones of much
historic value. 1t is the last
remnant of the first mill in Cali
furnia. Of course even in the
early fifties, the government con-
trolled coinage, and in 1854
established a mint in San Fran
cisco; but no one ever questioned
the legality of Mount Ophir's
great octagona slu9s, or tried in
any way to disguise their manu-
facture. although their coinage
lasted two years.
An atmosphere more romantic
than me rcenary clings to the spot.
Situated on the hank of a pretty
stream at the foot of lofty Mount
Bullion, and surrounded on three
sizes by chemical covered hills, it
forms the heart into which once
flowed golden atoms or poured
great yellow globules.
Here men from the trails and
gulches, men glad of the new life
of a new worll, filled with the
exlir of hopes and ambitions
about to be realized by sudden
wealth, or intoxicated with free
dom from conservatism, with the
power of gratifying reckless pas
sions, brought TASKS of dust and
bags of nuggets and went away
with pockets full of the most
clumsy coin imaginable. For a
slug was two and a half times as
large as twenty dollar piece, in
value, $50. but those opulent
miners scorned anything smaller.
Although currency circulated in
many forms during those early
days, the only bona tide California
coin was this queer half-hundred.
When the government destroyed
local minis, the shape of the slug
changed from ctagonal to round,
and later when the sweating pro.
cess of stealing. by putting the
coins into sacks aid shaking them
until particles were rubbed off,
became a popular and profitable
amusement their use was entirely
discontinued.
Into the crucible at Mount
Ophir were tossed pocket speci-
mems, so intricate, so delicate in
fern-like tracery and fowery
shapes, that their crushing seems
pity.
You may stilI find some old
miner perhaps starving in his
lonely cabin. WHO will show you
one of these JOY blooms that has
cheered his lonely years, and from
which he could not part even for
food. They are lovelier than any
cunning Jewelers. work.
One / have seen was tangled
bunch of miniature brakes, with a
butterfly resting on the apex, and
their stems in base of crystal.
Its owner valued it above any
luxury or even necessity.
Here, as elsewhere. Indians be-
lieves that down in the earth's
center demons were burning this
metal and tossing it up to tempt
men to ruin, and when they saw
the liquidated ore in that house of
stone, they fled in such terror that
no persuasion or curiosity could
tempt them to return.
Still the little mint did it's work,
its founders, whose names are by
most forgotten reaped their re-
ward and no miner complained Of
unfair treatment. When the
mighty hand of law reached out,
it, harvest had been reaped, its
doors quietly closed.
All this was before Fremont, in
idle fancy, fioated the grant of
100000 acres of agricultural land
bestowed upon him for his service
during the Mexican war, on to this
mineral belt.
