chance opening. Wherever you hit
your man with one hand let the 9th
the left reserving your right for
possible II will be very much more
effective.
Never lose sight of your mans
eyes. They will most always tele-
graph when and where he intends
10 hit you. Just as soon as he
starts to lead shoot your straight
left to his face and the force of
his coming toward you will increase
the effect of your blow considerably,
If you do not think you have time
to accomplish this throw off your
opponents blow as explained above.
It takes a finished boxer to know
how to successfully duck blow.
Novices should consequently be care
full about this point and not indulge
in it until they have mastered the
skill. In ducking you lose sight OF
your opponent for a few seconds,
and if the latter happens to catch
you with stiff uppercut it may be
good night" to you. Sidestepping is
also quite nice point and requires
considerable practice to become eX-
pert at it
There is considerable nonsense and
folly about keeping yourself in fine
condition all the time. Most young
fellows who go into athletics imagine
they are obliged to follow certain
diet 90 through a severe course OF
training, keep their muscles as hard
as flint and live, indeed, very
unnatural existence My long eX-
perience has taught me this is al
together wrong. Live regular. take
Just enough of exercise to keep your
liver and circulation active and don't
get your biceps too tough and stiff.
If you do you'll very soon discover
that hard muscles will slacken your
speed. and | wouldn't give a rap 70"
tainly most important, indeed,
My advice to young man who
desires to become a clever boxer
is to ioin some good clean athletic
club of amateurs. In short while
he will learn enough to put on the
gloves with some of the more ac-
complished members. After few
bouts he'll soon find out whether
nature intended him for a champion
or not For all men are not born
to become champions. and young
boxers will soon discover this fact
after a few sharp, snappy set-tos
| claim that every healthy young
fellow with good physique and a
bright brain can become clever
boxer by close attention, hard prac-
tice and the use of good judgment.
| don't claim by this he can become
4 fighter. There are many skill
full and fancy boxers who will not
stand before man with less ability
and more heart. When it comes to
real fighting the heart plays very
important part indeed. However it's
not necessary for us all TO be cham
pions.
| would like to go deeper into this
little boxing lesson about the finer
points of the art. but that would
indeed be long, long story.

Seward last night on the car and
is loud in his praise of that section
as a quartz district Mr.. Stevenson
has been spending most of his time
on the Fitzpatrick and Baughman pro-

on his own account. He says that
Gilpatrick has some of the best
quartz that has ever been uncovered
in this country in sight and has a
sample Of quartz that he selected
from a quantity of pay ore that is

plated. Some of the decomposed
quartz taken from the same place
pans as high as two dollars to the

the Baughman property that will
run as well. fitzpatrick is operating
an arrasatre and is doing well. The
ore he is handling is running into
figures that stamps it as very high
grade, indeed.

to specifications for military motor

Herbert Jaynes, the locator of the
Little Giant property on Mineral
creek. says the Valdez Prospector
has located another property about
quarter of mile from the Noun
tain King property of w. L. Smith
which is now "a a paying basis, the
mill having been erected this sprina
and the mine operating.
The new location is near the head
of Mineral creek and the lead, which
can be traced for a distance of 300
feet. varies from six inches to three
feet and carries high values.
Mr.. Jaynes plans considerable de-
velopment work on the property as
soon as possible as he is greatly
pleased and encouraged with the re-
suits of the preliminary prospecting
he has done on the claims.
