 Many Conditions Imposed.
 Harry Pollok has at last found a way out of ever letting the new lightweight champion of the world meet Willie Ritchie again. Harry was ever an ingenious cuss and he has framed a set of conditions for another" battle with Ritchie which are hard to surmount.
 In the first place he demands that Ritchie gurantee him $25,000 the same amount that the Olympia club gave Ritchie for his share in the fight, which was s15.000 for the fight and S10000 for his share in the moving pictures of the battle. It's probable that the American champion would give Ritchie a $15,- 900 guarantee for return fight and would know when he was doing it that he would lose money, for there never was a time and never will be time when Welsh can draw gate which would represent a fighters share as $15.000.
 In his own country he could draw no better than $21, ,00O house. which Is much more than he could do here.
 As to the moving picture thing. who wants them. anyway? Ritch!e was wise enough to see that and let his share go for sum which a few years ago would have been re- garded as very small. The inter- state law makes pictures without any value at all here Such things have grown very much out of date anyway.
 Then Pollok demands that $25.- 900 side bet which Ritchie spoke about That's the easiest part of the demand and if Pollok means business he will be satisfied to let Welsh fight on winner-take all basis, which Ritchie suggests, and the $25,OO0 a side "to boot" But the idea of Ritchie guaranteeing Welsh s25,OO0 is only laughable.
 Pollok says he is willing that Ritchie and Welsh meet in Cali fornia, that California referee will do. and that the match can be de. cided six months after the signing of the stipulations.
 It would be better for Ritchie to pass up Welsh if that's the only way he can get chance at his old title, and let Jack Britton or some equally good man meet Welsh and then let the Welsh conqueror meet Ritchie.

Seward To Produce $500, 900.

Seward To Produce $5o0,000. .Seward.-That the output of gold from the mines in the country tribu tary to Seward will not be less than half a million dollars this year is a fact which has been ascertained by a careful survey of the condi- tions. The output last year was $3O0,0O0 which was an increase in the output of the previous year and that was a record, but all the indi- cations are that the increase this year will be greater over the output of last year than the increase of any previous season over the pre- ceding one, although each succeed ing year has marked an increase for a long time.

 Good reports continue to come from Birch creek. says the Ruby Record Citizen.
 Pahlke. Trafolet & Co.,. who re- gently sunk a new working shaft. made a cleanup this week of $2,00O from 1900 feet of bedrock. which makes the average a little better than $1.50 to the foot.
 Charley Strite. who has a lay on Birch just below the mouth of Crooked creek, has been sluicing for some time and expected to clean up last night or today. It Is un- derstood that his pannings have been very satisfactory and a good cleanup Is expected.

 Tim was umpiring game in Washington one day. Catcher Char ley Street, who was known as "Gabby," was at bat. Tim called a strike. "Gabby" whirled on Tim.
 Hey, what's matter with your lamps, hey?" Street queried, as gent ly as a summer breeze that got mixed up in a Western cyclone.
 Tim fished a newspaper out of his pocket-one that had been fold ed to show the batting averages at first sight.

LONDON, Sept. 21.--Anxiety Ia In
creasing In London as the battle OF
the Aisne continues without the allied
forces being able to gain any ap-
preciable advantage over the German
force.
The strength OF the German posi-
ton 10 now realized. The admission
that every advantage gained by the
British troops. has been at terrible
cost, II being realized that the casual
ity list Of the British and French is
bound to be staggering.
The weather continues the worst
that could possibly be imagined for
such q battle as is now being waged.
Heavy rains continue to fall and the
trenches are filled with water. The
British forces have borne the brunt
Of the fighting In the center and
charges have been made to carry
German trenches across fields swept
from end to end by rife. machine gun
and shrapnel IRE.
At the war office the situation Is de-
Iclared to be favorable. although 1t Ii
admitted no one decisive advantage
has been gained. The French gave
. some ground yesterday below Soils
sons In the face Of furious attack
| but Il was regained. Following the
loss Of the hill Of Primont, the French
drove OF the Germans and occupied
the defenses Of La Pomelle.
The most determined German at
tack Is being made on the allied front
between Craonne and Rheims, furi-
Gus assaults being directed In an at
tarnpt to pierce the allied lines.
The allies have continued to exert
the greatest pressure upon both wings
OF the German army, which, 1t Is
claimed, are gradually being forced
back.

found floating In the Detroit river. just
east Of the Belle Isle bridge, Sunday
noon. A laundry mark. "P.F-B," Is
the only thing on the mans clothing
which may lead TO his identification.

man had been throwing his hat In the

theory that the corpse Is that OF the
man who attracted Kolbs attention.
