ment.

CONTESTANTS DO NOT
 APPEAR AT HEARING
Ctrom Sundays Daily.)

The contest filed by J, D. Vietta and others against the United Gold Mines Company, of Congress secur- ing patent to certain mining claims applied for in that locality, was brought to an abrupt ending yester. day when the hearing was to pro- ceed before U. s. Commission Moore in this city. The contestants failed to appear. and withdrew from the litigation instituted, whereupon the suit was ordered 10 be dismissed.
 The ground is said to lie in the lower part of the town of Congress, and was included with other mineral bearing land which the company in- cluded in its application to be paten. ted. The case attracted very much interest in mining circles, and the company will now proceed to secure the title desired without further op- position, it H believed.

THEY WON'T G0 |F,|MPROPERLY
 STAMPED

During Christmas time every year the postoifice department has a great deal of trouble because people who purchase Christmas seals with which to decorate their mail persist in placing them on the front side of the letters. This is often discourag- ing to the stampers in the offices, and in many cases the people who purchase do not go to the trouble to find out that they are not stamps that can be used in the transporta- ton of Uncle Sam's mail. Every year the custom that has prevailed in the United States of purchasing such stamps and seals about Christ mas time has been the cause of an international postal conference. Three of the countries belonging to the union absolutely refuse to take letters and packages having the stamps upon them, either front or back. These countries arc Austria, Norway and Portugal
 Other countries agree to handle the packages and letters if they have no stamps other than the regular U. s. postage stamps on the front or side upon which is the address. Among these countries are those to which the residents of the United States send largely their foreign mail, such as Great Britain, Ger many, France and their dependents.
 In the same way the United Stat es has decided to take no letters with the stamps and seals on the face of the letters

 Tommy forced the fighting for the first ten rounds. Jack side-step- ping and managing. like the veteran he is. to give the visitor the long walk to his corner. Tn the prclim- mary rounds the San Francisco lad landed couple of stinging body blows and hot one on the nose. Ryan's uppcrcuts failed of reaching their mark. That was his best blow but the Fireman evidently has a rub. Der neck for he got his head out of the way by the fraction of an inch each time.
 Jack was badly handicapped by a recent injury to his right. thereby being forced to fight largely on the defensive. It was plain that he was in pain when he swung with the in- jured member; but, in the last three rounds. he flung caution to the winds and maulcd his opponent unmerci- fully. Tommy. with some odds against him in his reach. famed the air repeatedly in attempts to land uppcrcuts The last ten were clear ly McMahn's rounds. without ex. ception. For few seconds. 1t look ed like a knockout for Tommy, but the gong sounded in the midst of a grucling shower of punches from Jack.
 Ryan left the ring with an eye partly closed and some scarlet body bruises, but still in fairly good shape. Both fighters showed gcneraiship of the highest order.
 The preliminaries were two game ly-fought scrimmages. the first be- tween Johnny Blount and John Kel- lar and the second George Blount vs Willard. the Mexican Marvel" Blount got the decision over Kellar.
