GOVERNOR PUTS END TO
LICENSED BOXING BOUTS

OF the governors veto of the 20
round boxing bill the Reno Gazette
says:
Governor Boyle put an end to all
licensed boxing in Nevada today by
vetoing the bill permitting 20 round
contests, having already signed the
general revenue law which repeats
the law under which 10 round bouts
have been held in the last two years.
The governor in his veto message
says there seems to be no general de-
mand for the sport and that in case
he signed the bill Nevada would be
branded as the only state in the I'M
ion where 20 round bouts are per-
loitted. He also felt that with the
advent of prize fighters and their
retinues would come an influx of I'M
desirable citizens.
The boxing bill was an amendment
to the act of 1897, permitting finish
fights, as amended by the legislature
of 1913. The 1913 law limited con-
tests to 10 rounds. The bill vetoed
BIZ the governor would have permit
ted 20 round contests on payment of
a license of $500 for each contest
AID lower fees for shorter bouts.

Travel to and from Manhattan and
Round Mountain is recently on the
increase. due to the activities of the
Round Mountain Mining company,
the plentiful supply of water for
placer operations in Manhattan

tie Grays property, as well as other
developments in the two camps.
While there are more men employ
cd in both camps at present than
during the winter, there is no scarcity
reported in the labor market and
people in search of employment
would do well to remain away until
heavier operations are undertaken,

START SHIPPING ORE
FROM UNION MINES

Manager Thatcher, who is the state
senator from Eureka county and who
has just returned from the legisla-
ture, left yesterday for the mines
at Union, in Eureka county. He
says that the development work
that has been done the past winter
has uncovered a big ledge of rich ore,
the assays averaging over $40 per
ton. He will at once start the ship
ment of this ore which will net a
good profit after the mill and trans
portation charges have been paid.
There is enough ore in sight to keep
the wagons and trucks busy for
some time. and it is the intention of
Manager Thatcher to ship at least
thirty tons per day. The mine is
not far from the narrow gage rail
road hat joins the main line at Pal
isade and until the erection of the
mill the daily shipments will con-
tinue.-Elk0 Free Press.

TONOPAH MINING co. DECLARES DIVIDEND:
RESUME OF OPERATIONS IN SILVER CAMP

K. p. Cullinan with the showing on

Is no surer test of a mans sincerity
than to have him back his words with

Buckeye Belmont
The adding or new machinery
with greater capacities is one of the
best indications of what the man.
agement thinks of any mine, for no
manager would add machinery if the
nine didn't show something worth
the expenditure. Last week it was
announced that the Buckeye had
purchased a new compressor and this
week it has been placed on it's foun-
dstion ard will be put in operation
as soon as possible.
The reason for this added capac-
ity, is the improved condition of the
mine. The No. 2 crosscut has en-
countered some quartz that would
be a milling ore with a mill on the
ground, though it wouldn't pay if it
had to be hauled and shipped. The
indications are that development in
this part of the mine will open up ex-
tensive ore possibilities and probably
some of it with much better values.
TonOpah Elk.
The net profits of the Tonopah
Extension company for the month Of
February we're $6O,21S. This COM
pares with profits for January Of
$59,043 and would indicate that un-
til silver reaches a better price, the
management intends to keep mill
heads down so that the monthly prof.
it's will be around 100000.
That the Extension is not treating
as good a grade of ore for the last
two months as it did for the same
months previously is evidenced by
the fact that the profits for the las.
six months of 1914 averaged very
nearly what they have for the last
two months although the tonnage in
the mill is now considerably greater
than it was during those six months.
