The conditions in the Gem

even in the former palmy days than
they are at present. A large ton
mage of ore is being shipped out
from the several leases such as
the Van Tilborg lease in the tun-

Ford leases in the twelfth level,
the Coe and other leases. Some
of the finest ore to be seen recent

been operating during the past
quarter of a century. without in

been met, the work has been kept

has been working with uninter-

for many years except when it was

that such excellent conditions and
such large ore outputs prevail and
that those interested in leases are
all making good in a large pro-

BRESHAHAh WINS
FIGHT WITH M'CUE
Tommy Rallies and Forces
Racine Boy to Hang on
at End.

Racine. Wis. Dec. 11.-Tom Jones
sent Matty McCue against a tough one
last night. and at the end of ten saw
age rounds the home boy looked the
worse in comparison. Tommy Bresna-
han beat him with a whirlwind finish.
After McCue apparently had him near
q knockout in the eighth, the veteran
from Chicago came back and had the
Racine youngster hanging on the ropes
in the final pair of fighting spells.
Matty stacked up a great lead on the
outsider in the first half of the battle
but in the after part his lead was cut
down by he terrific assault OF Bresna-
han. who began to penetrate Matty's
hitherto impregnable guard with a
regularity and effectiveness that threw
fear into the hearts of his admirers at
the ringside and caused Tom Jones to
blink with dismay.
The Racine boy was easy for the vet
eran after Matty began to tire. His
brilliant opening work seemed to have
Slapped his strength and he missed and
clinched frequently in the closing
rounds
But Matty was not beaten by more
than shade. The little fellow, slight
~ smaller and not nearly as rugged as
the old timer, held his own valiantiy.
However, the issue was never in doubt
after the eighth. and the unbiased home
fans were willing to concede the vic
tory to Bresnahan-

Ferns into a lead with a left and shot

put Ferns down for the first of four
knockdowns. The first three upsets
lasted nine seconds each. The last

Burke gave the signal for a cessa-

Gibbons hand in token of victory. They
led Ferns to a seat In his corner. He
was in bad shape.
Ferns was stopped effectually really
before he got warmed up, and though
there is little doubt that Ferns would
have made strenuous effort to get to
his feet before the ten could have been
counted over him, there is possibili-

MIR. Heating. the weak spot of
the beet sugar industry in this
country at the present time is on
the farm and not in the factory.
We have not learned to grow
beets of sugar content and purity
similar to the German farmers for
the same price. AS a matter of
fact, just yet we cannot grow SINH
Lar beets at any price. And how
could you expect the farmer of the
Arkansas valley. for instance. to
have learned in a dozen of years.
ers a full hundred years to learn?
Give us conditions similar to those
of Germany and we will compete.
You find that some of the sugar
compa MES have a great deal OF
water in their capitalization.
Granted. But do GU attribute it
to the tariff? Is the tariff re
sponsible for the water in Amer
lean railroads, the express COM
panies, meat packing combine. or
harvester trust? DO you suppose
the removal of the tariff will cause
single drop of the water in the
American Refining Company to
evaporate? The sugar trust, al
ter the removal of the tariff. will
still continue to buy Cuban and
other raw sugars. and refine them
and make its profit from this op-
Grafton. In fact. its profit will be
increased, for with the decline of
the beet sugar industry. it will
refine more sugar than ever be-
fore and at the same time it's work
ing capital will be increased, for it
will not need the money now COL
lected by the government as reve-
nue..
However, that Is now beside the
issue. The American people are
going to undertake tariff expert
ment no matter how costly 1t may
prove. and under the circumstan-
ces we cannot quarrel with your
VOTE. but we do quarrel with your
erroneous. unfair and unsupported
statements.
Yours truly,
