NEW MINES FOR KANSAS.
Cudahys Buy Silica Deposits in Meade
County.

Hutchinson, KAN, Jan ia new
mining district will soon be opened in
Kansas, out on the prairie in the midst
of the shortgrass country of south
western Kansas.
Some time ago deposits of silica were
discovered in northern Meade county, In
the ridge north of Crooked creek. Now
representatives of the Cudahy interests
of Kansas City have bought up these
deposits, and it is understood that
they will soon be an extensive develop
ment of the deposits.
Robt Stevens, who is connected with
the company, was in Hutchinson and
announced that operation would soon
be started sinking a mine on large
scale, installing steam hosting and
shoveling apparatus and getting out the
silica in large quantities.
The Rock Island railway company is
preparing to construct spur railway
to the silica deposits, connecting with
their main line about midway between
Meade and Fowler.
The silica will be used in the man
ufacture of washing powders and
cleansers Some preliminary mining
has been done. but large plant will
now be installed, and it is expected
there will soon be flourishing min
ing camp on the prairie in northern
Meade county.
A similar deposit was found some
time ago in Harper county, and
company was organized at Anthony to
engage in the development of the de-
post, but the project lacked capital.
This Meade county deposit is said to
be the richest so far found in Kansas.

RIVERS BEATS LEACH CROSS.
But New Yorker Scores Only Real
Touchdown in EIGHT

New York, Jan. 15.-Joe Rivers, the
Mexican lightweight, outpointed Leach
cross. of this city, in a ten-round bout
here Tuesday night.
Cross had the better of the first two
round. While the New Yorker was
showering rights and lefts to the head
in the first, the Mexican slipped to one
knee at the ropes but was up IN an in
slant, adopted blocking tactics and
proved Cross superior at in-fighting
In the second round Cross scored the
only real knockdown of the bout with a
left hook under the jaw.
Thence on Rivers fought cleverly and
was so rapid in movement that Cross
frequently could not find him. Rivers
showing in the last eight rounds earned
him a verdict by comfortable margin.
Rivers became steadier as the fight
ing progressed, while Cross grew wild
and became worried, under Rivers con-
slant landing of left and right upper
cuts, backing away at times.
In the last two rounds Rivers did
practically all the fighting. In the
tenth he rocked the local mans head
with a hook to the jaw, which almost
knocked him down. Cross staggered to
the ropes. The final bell found the men
in a fast mixup, of which Rivers had
the better.
The two men weighed fraction more
than 1872 pounds at 9:45. They were
to weigh-in at 1873 pounds.

Reserve Early in Fight.
Puts Soldier Smith
to Sleep.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. 15.-Clarence
(WildcaD Ferns, of Kansas City, was
given decision in 15-round bout
over Charles Pierson, of Denver. For
ten rounds Ferns was apparently under
cover. Both did some clever fighting.
In the scheduled 15-round go between
Charles AaronSon. of Kansas City, and
Soldier Smith, of Fort Leavenworth,
featherweight, Smith was knocked out
in the twelfth round. The fighting was
fast from the start.
Ferns held himself in reserve until
the eleventh round but after that he
gave Pierson terrific beating. At
the end of the contest Persons face
was raw and bleeding, both eyes were
almost closed, his lips were pulled and
he spat blood. The last bell found
him coming to his feet groggy at the
count of six and all but out.
Knocked Through the Ropes.
Pierson was knocked down twice dur
Ing the fight, once being sent through
the ropes. He took the count of nine
before resuming the contest.
In the early stages Pierson had the
best Of his opponent at mitigating.
Compared with the semi windup be-
tween Aaronson and Soldier Smith,
the main go as whole was tame.
Smith fought Aaronson viciously for
three rounds, then became cautious
when he found himself facing a cool,
calculating boxer with wicked punch.
1t seemed as if Aaronson was firing
badly when suddenly in the twelfth he
drove a left jab to his opponents face
and followed it with a right uppercut
to the point of the chin, which knock
ed Smith out. Smith did not regain
consciousness for several minutes

Two years ago there were but five
Democrats in the senate, and each was
given the Craftsmanship of a committee.
That was easy enough, the system be-
ing to establish 40 committees. This
time, the Democrats feel that they
should practice a little of the economy
they preach, and so the number of
committees was trimmed down to fit
the majority-and the fit is like the
fit of a union suit. There isn't much
room for anything but the majority.
