Jimmy Donnelly has been playing bril-
liant ball this season for the Emerald
Club in the Central League. Donnelly has
always been rated as one of the most
capable performers IN the amateur ranks
and 1t Is questionable If he has ever done
better work than right now. There is
hardly contest in which he fails to hit
and his fielding Is as near perfect as could
be expected. Donnelly's main worth lies
in the fact that he is always thinking
There are few games in which he takes
part that he does not perform some I'M
looked-for stunt that has much bearing
on the result.
Donnelly got away with one Of his best
games yesterday. He starred at bat and
IN the field and led his club to victory
over the Waverly team by to 0. Play
ing second base. Jimmy accepted five
chances without a slip. He got two hits
out of three times at bat one Of the hits
was two-bagger and the other SINGLE
A stolen base also goes to his credit.
Norris did some good work in the box
for the Emeralds, holding the waverly
nine to three hits With that kind Of
pitching and the perfect support given
him he had no trouble getting away with
the long end Of the score The only thing
that marred his work was wildness, four
bases on balls being given.

STAGE SET FOR BOXING CONTEST
BETWEEN MANTELL AND GRAHAM

The stage is set for the ten-round
boxing contest at the Hippodrome
theater, Goldfield, tonight between
Bob Graham of Goldfield, champion
middleweight of Nevada, and Frank
Mantell of Sacramento, and the pre-
liminary event between "Freck'' Ly-
don of Tonopah and Wildcat" Alt
mann of Goldfield, for purses OF 5000
and $500, respectively, to be divided
60 and 40 per cent With their work
outs Tuesday afternoon Graham and
Mantell both eased up in their train
ing, considering that they had de-
yeloped themselves in the best pos
sible form for the bout, and are
practically marking time for the
sounding of the gong.
AS is natural, Graham is by far
the favorite in Goldfield over the
Californian in their approaching bout.
During his training he has shown a
marked improvement over the man
ner in which he handled himself in
his previous local encounters and
southern fans predict that he will
have little difficulty in disposing of
Mantell. 1t is a known fact that
Graham is possessed of both right
and left punches that can only be
likened to the kick of a mule. In
his training for tonight's mill Ora
ham has improved these punches,
and If he connects them properly
with Mantell's jaw and body, they
are likely to mean curtains" for the
Californian. However, Mantell is a
foxy ring general and has had a
world of experience. His forte is
infighting and he may make it diff
cult for Graham to put over his
lawmakers" But Graham himself
is no SLOUGH at close range fight
ing, which he used effectively in his
victory over Roy Taylor of Reno in
Goldfield New Years night.
Tonopah fans have picked Ora
ham as the winner over Mantell, in
consequence of which there is likely
to be comparatively little money
placed on the main event. In the
matter of financial backing, the pre-
liminary between Lydon and Alt
mann is likely to completely over.

RAD|UM BEARING
ORE FOUND IN
PROVINCE OF
BRAZIL
NOTED SCIENTIST EXPERIMENTS
ON SAMPLES OF cARNoTlTE
FROM SOUTH AMERICA


PALO ALTO, Feb. 12.--While test
ing specimens which had been sent
to him from South America, Presi-
dent John Casper Branner, head of
the geology and mining department
of Stanford, has discovered radium-
bearing ore of extreme value. The
specimens over which President Bran
ner was working in his laboratory
are from the state OF Ceara, in Bra
I'll. The presence of radium was not
known to have existed there hereto
fore.
The ore which led to the discovery
was pinch OF greenish yellow earth,
less than a thimbleful of carnotite,
one OF the two known sources of ra-
dium. The Stanford geologist was
testing for other minerals, when HIS
attention was called to the carnotite.
The carnotite was put through the
tests employed TO determine whether
an ore contains radium or not, and
responded successfully.
News OF the discovery has been
sent TO Ceara. in Brazil. The exact
location OF the region from whence
the samples came has been kept Sc
cret. as has the name of the sender
of the ore specimens
Only two carnotte deposits are
known to exist in the United States.
Both are located in the west, one in
Colorado and the other in Utah. Aus
tria has the largest carnotite de-
posits. From the carnotite ore is
obtained uranium oxide, and radium
comes from this latter substance. Ac-
cording to biologists but per cent
OF the carnotite is uranium oxide,
and only one part in 100000 of this
oxide is radium. This boosts the
price OF radium to about $4,000 per
gram. just how extensive the de
posits in Brazil are has not been
disclosed.
The figures given out by the geol.
ogy department of the university
show that out of the carnotite ore
mined in the United States in 1912
$7S2,OOO worth of radium was OBJ
tanned, and most of this went abroad.
DR.. Branner is well acquainted with
the geology of Brazil, sas he has
spent considerable time there on gov.
ernmental work and has written
text book on Brazilian geology. Two
Stanford students, Horatio l.. Small
and Ralph II. Soper, are now in the
Ceara district on projects financed
by the Brazilian government.
Branner was awarded the Hayden
medal in 1911 for his distinguished
contributions to geology and is recog-
nized as one of the worlds foremost
biologists. His latest discovery will
be of vast importance to the South
American state.

he is we'll liked by a number of
Goldfield sports, especially since it
is understood that his training has
greatly improved him in ring gener-
alship and the power behind his
blows. However, Altman has also
improved himself and the preliminary
promises to be a thoroughly enter
tanning and exciting affair
1t is estimated that not less than
300 Tonopahans will witness the
events, going over on the special
train and in automobiles. The spe-
cial train will leave Tonopah at 6:15
and will arrive an hour later at
the local T. & G freight depot. Re.
turning, the special will leave for
Tonopah at midnight. The doors of
the theater will not be opened until
about 10 or fifteen minutes after
the arrival of the Tonopah special,
in order that the visiting fans will
be afforded an opportunity to pur-
chase unreserved balcony seats,
which will be sold only AT the box
office, should they desire them in
preference to the higher priced
