TAKING OUT ORE
PIocHE NINE is NOW TAKING
OUT ORE FROM "5LAcK
LEDGE"

At Amalgamated Phoebe No. shaft
during the past week arrangements
for handling the water which, 1t is
expected, may soon be encountered
on the fourteenth level have been
completed. The massive bulkhead
has been completed. the two pumps
overhauled and connected up, accord
ing to the Phoebe Record.
While Installing the concrete Of
this bulkhead. work at the face OF
the crosscut was discontinued for sew
eral shifts in order to permit the ce-
ment to set hard before concussion
from blasting should come against it.
The Raymond and Ely vein may be
cut at any time now. and with 1t may
come the water, though it is not i'm
probable that only by drifting along
the vein viii the watercourse be suf-
ficiently opened to bring the flow into
the fourteenth level.
Ore from the twelfth level under
the stope above the Black ledge
winze is now being mined. A few
men only are at work on this ore,
because there Is so limited a space
at the collar OF the shaft where sort
ing may be done To do away with
this limitation, bins and sorting ar
rangements have been designed and
are being built. Only the first-class
shipping ore win be sorted out-the
balance, except waste, will be piled
at a point half way between shaft
\ No. / and the Greenwood shaft. a To-
cation from which 1t can be easily
picked up again for future milling.
The ore is the typical black zinc
sulphide, which is responsible for the
name BLACK Ledge ore" 1t carries
small seams and kidneys OF galena
There are gold and silver values in
both minerals.
H. w Rand, the Portland mining
man, arrived in the city last Sunday

OF jim FELL
THE MODEST CHAMPION OF ALL

Dan Connors, the writer of this
"reminiscences on Jim Fell, saw Paddy
Ryan go down before the onslaughts
of John l.. Sullivan at Mississippi
City; saw Corbett win from Sullivan
at New Orleans; Fitz from Corbett
at Carson; Jeffries from Corbett at
fries go at Reno, thus seeing every
worlds champion made from Sulli-
van to Johnson, missing only the
Burns-Johnson fight in Australia In
all except the Reno affair he was Of
fetal reporter for the New York
World He knows whereof he speaks
from personal experience.
In the winter OF 1884 husky
young fellow walked to the front of
Jack Dempseys athletic hall stage
on East Thirteenth street, New York,
and introduced himself as Jim Fell,
open to meet any mon breethin',
black or white, bar non" At the
time Fell was a fugitive from JUS
tice He was wanted by the police
of Omaha on a charge of prize fight
ing with one Jack Hanley on the
outskirts OF the city Henley went
to prison for two years at Lincoln,
Neb. Fell managed to escape. 1t
was one of the longest ring contests
on record, lasting SO rounds, London
rules, bare knuckles. The big daily
papers used columns to print the
} battle in detail, so Fell needed little
further introduction.
Jack Cooper, champion of South
! Africa. was Fell's first victim on
Dempseys stage. A right hook tC
the jaw dropped Cooper in the fourtf
round From then on. Jim was KEEP
busy at frequent intervals dropping
the trial horses" and "hopes" from
Brooklyn, Harlem and Jersey TIL

and Wright Sanford. Butler. six foot
two, of the greyhound type. very
clever; Fell of the bulldog type, not
so clever-rough and tumble style.
II was a bloody and brutal fight. The
clever Butler got to Fell's face often,
the blood scattering over the spec
tators at the ringside. The Fellites,
who bet heavily an their man. began
to despair In the ninth round Fell
whipped up his short right hook to
the jaw; down goes clever Butler for
the count.
Jim Fell drinking wine with Ed
Stokes and Billy Edwards in the
Hoffman house cafe sounds like fic-
ton, doesn't It? Fell was not a bad
looking fellow in those days, He
sported a gold-headed cane. high hat
and expensive clothes.
Stokes suggested that Edwards
match Fell, against George La
Blanche (later Dempseys conqueror)
as entertainment for his friends. Fell
went through severe course of
training at Yonkers, N. Y, for the
match. La Blanches sister died two
days before the fight, thus robbing
Fell of the chance to meet a top
noteher. Stokes supple the wine
that night and seemingly enjoyed the
company of our old friend Fell.
A few days after, Fell was taken
to Providence, r. l., 10 meet Spar
row Golden, an old-timer from Phila-
delphia. Sparrow was joke and
Fell took the money in three rounds
The Providence sports matched him
against Jack Ashton, the local giant
of the John l.. Sullivan troupe-in
the ninth round. Ashton was knocked
down so often that the police jumped
/ into the ring with drawn clubs tt
. keep Fell from committing a homi
| eide. They gave Ashton the fight OF
: a foul. II was local robbery.

THAT there is oil and plenty Of It
near Coleman, there is but little
doubt. Many of the oil magnates
have had their eye on this section
for the past four or five years and
have made many efforts to get in
here but were unable to do so owing
to the fact that they were unable to
secure satisfactory leases in the nm
mediate vicinity, Just the other
daysa gentleman from Ardmore was
here and discussed at length the oil
prospects around Coleman. He is a
man of considerable experience in
this line and expressed surprise that
so promising field should be unde-
veloped.

AS blamed-on sad and sweet
In the same ra-sho as feel the best
And the spryest on my feet
They's .allus kind o'sort of ache
That can't locate nowhere.
But 1t comes with Christmas and no
L mistake
A kind o. feel in the afr.
Is II the racket the children raiser
Why, nol-God bless 'em, MOI
Is II the eyes and cheeks ablaze.
Like mine wuz long ago?
Is 4 the bleat O. the whistle and the
beat
o. the little toy drum and blare
o. the horn2 No, mol 1t is jest the
sweet
The sad-sweet feel in the air.
