WEEKS DEFEATED
BY LOCAL BOXER
ALTMAN Is GIVEN DECISION IN
THE FOURTH ROUND
OF MILL

Like Jim Jeffries and other
pugilists who have abandoned
the arena for several years and
failed to keep themselves in condi-
ton, Freddie Weeks of Tonopah, who
was considered a few years ago n
of the near-top-notchers in the light
weight division of boxers, failed to
come back" in his ten-round con-
test last night at the Hippordrome
theatre with Wildcat Altman of
Goldfield. Although not knocked out
completely, Weeks was unable to
again rise when fioored by his oppo-
nent in the fourth round of the con-
test and was counted out by DIR.
Ducey, the referee. 1t was not much
Of a victory for Altman, since Weeks
lacked his oldtime strength and ring
~gsneralship.
However, as long as the bout last
ed it was a hammer-and-tongs af-
fair. At the tap of the gong both
contestants waded into each other
with all the strength they possessed
and decorated each others faces with
black eyes and bruises in quick or
der. Both also scored knockdowns
and in the first two rounds the hon.
ors were about evenly divided. In
the third round. Weeks became Wis
IDLY weak and in that and the final
session, Altman landed almost at
will. After receiving numerous
b1owc Wookc uoc cont 70 tho floor
by Altman in the latter part of the
fourth round and was unable to rise.
Altman assisted in carrying his de-
feated opponent to his corner.
Jim Murphy, acting as referee,
gave Johnnie Morrison the decision
over Young Barger at the end of
their four-rounG contest. AS it was
Barger's initial appearance in the
ring and he made a good showing
against his opponent, the ruling of
the referee did not meet with the ap-
proval of a majority of the specta-
tors, who we're of opinion that the
result of the contest was a draw.
Dean Morrison was given the de-
cision over kid" Byers in the third
round of their scheduled five-round
bout when the crowd called upon the
referee to stop the mill. Byers wore
himself out and threw himself to the
floor several times in attempting to
land blows that would have been
"haymakers' had they made n
tons. However, he was able to land
several good blows that caused his
opponent to "sit up and take notice."

M'DONALD ELY is In
PRODUCING CLASS

Though no official information has
been given out by the local manage
ment Of the Mcdonald Ely, it is plain
to be seen by passers-by that the
property is in the producing class.
The bins at the Golden Gate shaft
are being filled with ore and that
shipments may be shortly made
would not be surprising news to a
good many people.
1t is reported that a e body of
ore has been opened up from which
the production is being made and
that the body shows three feet of
ore that will go Is per cent copper
or better, and which is found along
side a twenty-foot body that will run
~ to 3 per cent. In addition to the
copper values the ore contains gold
and silver, while it also carries a
high percentage of iron making it a
desirable product for smelling. 1t
is understood that Colonel Wall, who
controls the company, is now making
an investigation as to the shipment
proposition and smelling charges on
the class of ore being produced.
Prospecting and development work
in the old Robust property owned by
the company are said to be bringing
good results although no particulars
of the progress beng made have been
made public. The company has added
to the number of men employed and
is now looked to for some important
announcement in the near future.

heavy timbers shortly before 8
O'Clock Tuesday morning. An inquest

ed out the lives of three members
of his family within a period of a
little more than a month. Deegan
was summoned to Butte, Montana,
about a month ago on account of the
illness of one of his brothers, who
died soon after his arrival. The
morning following his return to
Goldfeld Deegan received a telegram
informing him of the critical illness
of another brother in the same city.
He Immediately went back to Butte
and his second brother died a few
days later.
Deegan returned TO Goldfield less
than a week ago from his second sad
mission to Butte and upon his ar
rival remarked to several friends,
among them Dell Wells, that mis-
fortune had been relentlessly fol-
lowing the members of his family
and that it would probably be his
turn next" Coroner Barnes has
advised an aunt OF Deegan's, resid-
ing in Oakland. Cal. of his death.

OPENING MINE IN
BUFFALO VALLEY
BIG LOW-GRADE GOLD PROP
ERTY Is BEING DE-
VELOPED

Southeast OF Winnemucca about'
forty-five miles il Buffalo valley. The
valley is on the western slope OF
the Battle Mountain range of noun
tains. To the south are the Cop
per canyon PAGER diggings and the
copper-gold belt which notably is
one of the strong mining features OF
the state. Near by are Mill canyon,
Telluride and Aspen, mining points
of promise and worthy of the effort
owing to excellent naturalization,
of the men who make a speciality OF
mine making.
The Buffalo valley is in the line up
of general Nevada conditions, which
have placed Nevada in the front
rank of production in gold, silver,
copper, quicksilver and other useful
products of Mother Earth.
The present mine operations in
the valley are by the Buffalo Valley
Gold Mining and Leasing company
under the management of H. w.
Baker of Denver, Colo, with John
T. Reid as consulting engineer. The.
property is controlled by New York
capital which was interested by John
T. Reid, a well-known mining en-
gineer of Lovelock. The property
was formerly owned by J. B. Fayant
of Golconda. The gold-bearing zon
is one of the biggest in the state.
1t is a big low-grade milling PROPOSE
ton with an average value of SIS
per ton. At some points in the
crosscuts of the tunnels, exploring
and blocking the ore, is as much as
fifteen feet of $40 gold ore. The
ore is free. The ore occurs in a
crushed zone of limestone in close
proximity to an intrusive dixie Of
aplite. The ore is not entirely on
fined to the brecciated or crushed
zone but exists also in the bedding
planes of the limestone.
The New York interests are push
ing development and from present
showings have in prospective sense
one of the big l~ow-grade gold prop
critics of the west and which can be
worked with proper treatment facili-
ties at a handsome profit.-Hum-

(Ry One 0f Than \

(by One OF Tnem.)
The plain girl often envies the
pretty girl and, like the badtemper-
ed little child who cries for the
moon. signs and yearns for her
beauty. Foolish plain girl! You have
many times the happiness of the av-
erage pretty miss, whose life indeed
is often a bed of thorns.
A few years ago my parents died
and l was faced with the problem of
earning a living. Domesticated, well
educated and master of several ac-
complishments, such as music, paint
ing and some chemistry, and so on,
thought this would be one of the
very easiest of matters.
To be governess was my first
ambition. But alas! after many.
many visits to scholastic agents. who
did little for me and who robbed me
in a most heartless manner in the
bargain. and after spending many
shillings on advertising in news
papers, the only person who would
offer me an engagement was a mid
dle-aged gentleman with two little
boys, and he. unfortunately. was a
widower. My little capital. however,
was dwindling rapidly. so l did not
dare refuse this opportunity to live
and learn.
The gentleman welcomed me into
his cozy suburban home with literal
ly open arms. This was the begin
ming of the end Of my first attempt
to earn a living.
Two weeks later l was again look
ing for work. Good man as he was
and desirable husband as l have no
doubt he would have made, I could
not reciprocate the gentleman's af-
fections. Both of us. Therefore.
thought it was as well that we should
part.
