City Effects Big
 Saving in Light

It Is stated that the light bill o. the city of Fairbanks for the month of November was $156.75, or s293 25 less than was quoted last summer and the new meter system has therefore proven to be successful beyond the fondest hopes of the councilmen. The council spent few dollars in the upkeep of the lighting system during the month but 1t is probable that no such work will be again necessary before next summer
 The low cost of city lighting dur ing the past month is attributed to the fact that the moon shone a great deal of the time, making it unnecessary to keep the lights turn ed on At one Of the recent meet ings of the city council Mayor Ner- land compllmented the police de- partment for the good judgment con cerning the hours necessary for the lights to be turned on.

round.
 Any one or a number of the emu merated violations may occur In any boxing bout. and the referee must exercise his discretion in de- termining whether the foul is acci- dental or wilful. or has inflicted an injury that reduces the fair and reasonable chances of the victim.
 The writer recalls an incident of which he was a victim in a bout that took place more than 20 years ago, and caused the referee con siderable embarrassment and almost created a riot at the ringside.
 I was boxing man by the namc of "Reddy" Brennan, at that time q well known lightweight Of Chicago, IT. At the beginning of the third round I landed a fairly good pune to Brennan's stomach. His mouth flew open and both my eyes were filled with fresh tobacco juice.
 My seconds immediately claimed foul. Brennan's seconds disputed that the act was foul because. they said. it was Erennan's habit to chew tobacco when fighting; that there was nothing in the rules which pre- vented his doing that if he wanted to, and, furthermore, it was no foul of his that I had struck him in the stomach when he happened to have a mouthful of juice and caused it to squirt in my face.
 While the argument was going on my eyes were being attended to. and the referee finally overruled the claim of my seconds. A wholesome respect for referees ruling causes mo to refrain from saying what I thought about 1t.
 Should a thing of that sort hap pen today, it is probable that the referee would call time" until tho boxer recovered his vision, unless drug of some sort had been used to cause blindness.

| NEW PAY FOUND | IN RUBY CAMP

RUBY, Nov. 13.-Reliable news comes from Long City that Alex Larson has located an Important body of new pay on the upper end of No. 2 above, Long creek.
 More correctly speaking, he has picked up the continuation of the pay worked with such satisfactory results by Frank Johnson on the lower end of No. 8 above last sum- mer.
 The pay is on the left limit MT. Larson finished strip of ground there the past season, and suspect ed that the paystreak was split However, he inclined to the belief that the branch pay swerved toward the hill, which was not the case. The course of Johnson's pay in- duced him to try nearer the present creek bed, and out of a crosscut of eight holes there are seven in the money.
 MT. Larson will now run cross cut lower down the creek In the hope of again tapping the run of gold.
 With the pay now defined on , and 3 above, upper Long is sure to give good account of itself next season.
 Ward and company, on the Novi- kaket association, bedrocked a shaft in gravel that will run about s3.50 to the foot this past week The new pay shaft is about 300 feet straight down stream from the shaft from which they hoisted last fall. The hole will be prepared as a working shaft, the boiler house and boiler moved, and the ground blocked out in readiness for spring, accord ing to David Ward, now in town enroute to :he Outside for win ter's vacation.
 Midnight creek is the latest ad dition to the pay creeks of the dis trict According to late arrivals from Long, B. J. Bower struck good pay on Midnight while doing as sessment work This creek has been looked upon with favor by many prospectors for several years, but it was left for Billy" Bower to uncover good pay.

WORLD EARLIEST
 SPORT DYING OUT.

ST. LOUIS old Max Luttbeg, who is far enough along in life to be a grandfather, but who is still young enough to win wrestling matches, defeated one Wallace at local show house Friday night
 This. with an occasional reference tN Joe Stecher, a new heavyweight championship asDirant, about com p'etcs recent local news references to a sport that was once upon time in the papers almost daily and to which fine crowds were attracted.
 Not only is wrestling on the hum- mer here, but elsewhere it is in the same state of decline. As a sport it is so near death that only worlds championship match could pulmotor the public back from it's indifference.
 One of the few champions ever developed in St. Louis was Al Nasem lightweight. So feeble was the interest in the match between Bllifor and Wasen for the title that the latter had to hire a hall, g,Fe ElHter a guarantee and promote the match himself. No promoter would take chance. He lost SIP on the match in which he won the national championship.
 Interest in the game was at such a low ebb that Wasem went out with the tide and sought new fields, Clifton, Ariz, is now As home. He says he won't come back here the game in this town is too dead,

WILL MOVE OFFICES
 IMMEDIATELY
ROAD COMMISSION OFFICES TO BE REMOVED TO THE
 BANK BUILDING.

The local offices of the Alaska Road Commission, which for many years past have been located In the Panama Valley depot building. on the Washington-Alaska bank proper ty immediately. Workmen have been busy for the past week installing the necessary heating apparatus anl otherwise placing the rooms which are to be occupied in repair and the work of moving the office fixtures will accordingly be started today.
 Immediately after the purchase of the bank property was made by the government, R. J Sommers, the local superintendent of the road commission. applied fer and received permission from Marshal L. T. Erwin to move Into some of the rooms. The marshal decided about that time, however, to move several oi the federal offices into the new building and therefore, in order that the road commission might not have to incur the expense of fitting up the offics in the matter of heating. MT. Sommers decided to wait until the general move took place.
 Then came the appointment of T. II. Deal to thee ustodianship of the new building, which necessitated another change in the plans, both in regard to the moving of the fed eral offices and those of the road commission. The recent reappoint- mnt of Marshal Erwin, however, has placed those plans on their old basis and MT. Sommers has therefore decided to act under his first per init.
 It is supposed here that Marshal Erwin still intends to move some of the federal offices to the new building. Nothing definite, however is known in that regard

Reports from the Bonanza opper mine at Kennecott are that rock assaying 70 per cent copper is be ing taken out daily In great leads. The ore is that which slid down the mountain side about a year ago, leaving the pure copper exposed. The slide has yielded ten times the amount of pure copper that under ground development has produced, it is said It is estimated that It costs the Guggenheims about cents per pound to mine and ship it's copper ore from Kennecott. Copper is now bringing IS IA cents per pound, which leaves a handsome pro fit to the owners of the property.

MAHAN KICKS HIS
 CLUB TO VICTORY

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct 16.-AIl hail to the new king Of Harvard drop kickers, Edward William Ma han, whose powerful right leg booste1 the Crimson into 9 to 0 victory over the scrappy Virginia team in the Stadium this afternoon
 Thrice did the Harvard rusher3 plant the ball within begging dis tancC of the Southerners' goal when Mahan was called upon for his It. tie scoring speciality, one of the boots being driven over from the Virginia forty-five yard line.
 Captain Harry Coleman's team gave Harvard the toughest kind of struggle and during the first peri cd matters looked decidedly gloomy for the home team. The Southern CTS, however, could not pierce the Harvard defense, but through a succession ot kicks planted them for field goals, one by Thurman falling short and another by Berk- ley being blocked by Harte.
 The only real rushing of the game was chronicled in the second period, when Harvard, using Mahan and Whitney, smashed their way fifty yards to the ten-yard mark, where Virginia held, and Mahan straight ened out his first kick from the fifteen-yard llne. This drive came shortly after Thurman had failed to drop-kick from the forty-yard line. It was Virginias third and last opportunity to score.
 The teams battled very evenly throughout the remainder of the game, although Harvard, through long runs by Mahan and Wilcox and a fifty-yard sprint by Rollins, had the better average in yards gained. In the third period Mahan scored his forty-five yard kick after Virginia had fumbled and Harvard, unable to rush, had lost ten yards.
 Long runs by Wilcox and Harte again poked HarVards nose under Virsinia's goal and Mahan trotted out his third field goal driven from the twenty-five yard mark
