Fights Are Surprise.

San Francisco-California boxers of high and low renown suffered a pumping recently and even now they are blinking their eyes and wonder ing how it all happened.
 Back in Milwaukee Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie. who was gleefully quoted as a l0-to3 shot, took the worst of ten round go at the hands of Charlie White. the Chi cago scrapper, and the accounts, all of which seem to jibe fairly well, go to state that Ritchie was a mighty lucky boy not have been boxing where some referee could have given a decision that would have cost him the crown.
 And on the same night, down in Los Angeles. Sailor Ed Petroskey, who never before had suffered an

INSANE MAY BE
 KEPT IN ALASKA

Alaskas insane patients may be retained in the Territory If some responsible bidder can. before Jan uary 1916, offer better terms than those made by the Mt. Tabor Sani tarium in Portland, according to the following, taken from a recent issue of the Juneau Dispatch:
 ''Dr. H. C. DeVighne has received letter from Secretary Lane. of the letting of the contract for the care of the insane of Alaska to Dr. Coe of the Mt. Tabor sanitarium near Portland, Oregon.
 "Dr. Stoddard, of the Sitka sani- tarium, also submitted bid which was the same price as offered by Dr Coe. It will be remembered that the Democratic club, at the instance of the Dispatch. endorsed the plan for having the insane cared for in Alaska and forwarded resolution to that effect to Delegate Wicker sham and the interior department In the letter to Dr. DeVighne, Secre tary Lane states that the contract was awarded to Dr. Coe with a proviso. The contract begins Jan uary, 1915, and should any one in Alaska by January 1916, submit a bid and offer satisfactory sanitar- ium for caring for the insane, bids will be called for again and the contract re-let.
 However, it is not probable that any person will go to the expense of fitting up sanitarium upon the chances of getting the contract. Had the contract been let to Dr. Stoddard he would have had no trouble in en- larging his present sanitarium to accommodate all the patients offered
 '"The campaign carried on by the Dispatch" said Dr. DeVighne recent ly, "at least had the effect of getting Alaska a hearing, and what we should now do is to agitate a move ment to get a federal or territorial institution to care for insane pa tients in Alaska. The matter should not be allowed to rest where it is'

indignity of the sort. was knocked out in the 12th round by George Chip.
 Truly. the 26th of May. 1914. Is one long to be remembered in this neck of the woods.
 The showing of White against Ritchie was naturally the surprise for while White had to his credit a win in the ten-round game over Ad Wolgast, he didn't beat Joe AZevedo with any blare of trumpets, and those who had seen him in action could not conceive that he had much of chance, although it was figured that he would stay the limit and perhaps make & respectable showing
 But before we go any further let us say that. under the circumstances, Ritchie Is as much the lightweight champion as ever. although his re putation has been slightly spoiled.
 In Wisconsin, as in New York. the law does not permit referees to give decisions Therefore, the matter is left to the newspaper writers, who give their verdicts in an unofficial fashion. And that. apparently. is what counted in favor of the Cali fornia boy He is still the title holder. although. sooner or later granted that he continues to wear the crown. public opinion will force him into a 20-round bout somewhere on the Pacific coast against White, which will likely settle the question once for all
 From reading the accounts, 1t is evident that Ritchie was slow to get started and that his punches lacked force. He seemed to be boxing cleverly enough. but 1t was White and not Willie. who was doing the effective scoring Reports also are to the effect that Willie suffered considerable punishment and showed the effects when he left the ring.

Postpones Sailing
 To Attend Party

Because the sailing date of the steamer Yukon interfered With the hour set for a party given in her honor by her sister, Miss Flora Sal laday teacher in the Fairbanks school postponed her departure for the Outside Tuesday. She will de- part on the next boat
 Miss Salladay had made all ar engagements for leaving on the Yu kon, her berth having been engaged some time In advance Mrs. Alfred M. Ohlsen, her sister, had planned to give her farewell party on Tuesday afternoon, and had invited number of Miss Salladay's friends to take part in the affair. Then it happened that the Yukon arrived sooner than expected and was due to sail just at the hour when the party was to be given. Fully appre- ciating the courtesies that had been rendered her, Miss Salladay deter mined not to disappoint her many friends and her sister, and promptly cancelled her sailing arrangements.
 The party given by Mrs. Ohlsen had a number of unique features, the entertainment consisting of games and guessing contests. One of the contests was guessing the names of flowers pinned on the backs of guests. A tasteful lunch con was served.
 The guests were: Mesdames John A. Clark, Frank R. Clark, A. F. Her pick, H. N Shead, R. S. Mcdonald, Arthur McGown, l.. D Bennett, l.. M Drury, H. F. St. George, E. H. Boyer, G. A. Coleman, L. K.

 There is every indication that the Eagle River mines will be producing and the little 20-stamp mill will be pounding away on the high grade ore within the next three months, says the Juneau Empire. No. l ore shoot has been encountered at a vertical depth of 700 feet below the old workings and 1t is anticipated that others will be found. We will fix up the aerial tram and mill, ' said General Manager B. L. Thane, "and be running in the next two or three months"
 The Eagle River mines are pecu. liar in that they show one of the greatest exhibitions of faulting ever encountered in mining experience The mines were first opened by capital from Macon, Georgia. The mines were developed and equipped with a 10-stamp mill, which was afterward increased to a 20-stamp and operated for period of seven years. During that interval upwards of $5OO,0OO was recovered and 40. 900 feet of underground develop ment work performed. The mill run, during this period. averaged about $7.50 per ton.
 During this period great difficulty was experienced in mining on ac count of the elaborate system oi faulting in which the whole hill had moved down and in this greater movement series of lesser move ments within it, causing a series o1 faults which made mine operation expensive.

GoId-Saver Invented.


 Outside newspapers have much to say of the merits of a newly-invented machine for saving gold that is promising to work wonders. It is for use in both quartz mills and in sluicing work. Concerning the ma chine, which is known as the Hydro static Amalgamation machine, a Colorado newspaper has the follow ing:
 MT kaighin has had this ma chine installed at the Gilpin mill for the past few years, where it made an additional saving of seven and one-third per cent, and took up gold from the last drop of the shines. These results are proof that the mill men need no longer contribute gold to the bed of the creek. further enriching the stream.
 This wonderful machine, which will take up gold from the shines, will eliminate losses of the precious metal in the future, and make pos sible savings that heretofore have been considered practically impos- sible. The success of the machine has been demonstrated beyond all question, and it is expected that within the very near future, many more will be installed here. Not only does it do great work in the mills, but it is invaluable in placer mining, where it catches the smaller gold, which otherwise would be lost, it being too fine for the carpets to hold consequently passing off with the water.
 'The principle of the machine Is automatic in it's action getting it's operation and value by gravity The quicksilver in the bottom of the amalgamating section is heavy body which takes into direct con- tact everything which comes into the machine, eliminating the waste through the pressure of the hy- drostatic column and saving values through gravity and amalgamation.

Therell be no rough stuff in the Federal league, says President Gill more. Rowydism and all other sorts of ill-behavior will be severely dis couraged. For example, whenever a player Is chased from the field he finds himself set back $25, what ever the cause of his run-in. And if the player doesn't cone clean with the $25, within twenty-four hours the club itself is at once fined $1O0. The rules such as these, Opines Gil more, will give us better discipline in the Federal league than is to be found in either of the other big ones.
