TO HEAD
BIG SYNDICATE
FORMER GOLDFIELD ENGINEER
IN CHARGE OF OPERA
TONS IN CHINA

John wellington Finch, former
manager of the Goldfeld Consoli-
dated and who was n of the most
important witnesses for the Jim
Butler in the West End apex case,
has been appointed to n of the
most lucrative offices in the history
of the engineering world. He be-
comes the head of an American syn
dictate organized for the exploitation
of China and will sail for
that country on the tenth Of
August. The appointment carries
with it a salary of 100000, which
is said to be the figure John Hays
Hammond received when he was
exploiting at Transvall.
Mr.. Finch will proceed to ShaDg-
hal, which will be his headquarters.
He will have two or three Ameri-
can engineers as assistants and a
comprehensive study of the resour-
ces of China will be made by mis-
party.
"There is every reason to be-
lieve that the situation in China is
rapidly clearing and that the coun-
try soon will be open for exploita-
tion," said Mr.. Finch to a friend.
81 an going over to study condi-
tions and will be prepared to in
vestigate the of the coun-
try. Our syndicate is not alone
interested in mining, but in tho
general development of the country.
What is needed is modern methods
and plenty of money, and our syr-
dictate is prepared to give the
money and the methods"
The syndicate which Mr.. Finch
will represent will build railroads,
irrigation systems, and in all lines
Of industry will furnish the money
for development Particular atten-
ton will be paid to mining. There
has been considerable mining in
China, but it has not been along
the systematic lines that prevail
in other parts of the world. 1t is
understood that China is anxious to
open her mining districts and that
American capital will have virtually
unlimited sway of this work.-To-

WILL BE
ON AUG. Il CARD
ANOTHER FEATURE WILL BE
KID CARTER AND SOLDIER
BELL

Danny Mathews has announced
some changes in the program of
the boxing show that he will stage
on the night of August II and in
making the changes has improved
the card by the addition of Paddy
O'Hern, who has developed into a
fighter sought by the promoters
since his clever exhibition with
Maxwell on July 5. O'Hern will
fight four rounds with a boy named
Mcdonald, who claims the 1872
pound championship of the Philip
pine islands and wants to break
into the game in Goldfield.
The main event between La Grave
and Mathews has created more in
terest and caused more comment
among the fans than anything uu-
dertaken by local promoters for
some time. 1t is the the consen-
sus of opinion that in taking on La
Grave, Mathews has overestimated
mis- ability, that LIE Grave has had
600 much experience in the ring
to allow of a defeat at the hands
of Mathews. particularly as he will
nave an advantage in weight Of
from 10 to II pounds. Mathews
is expected to enter the ring at
about 1876 pounds and La Grave
at JAG or 147. Mathews takes a
different view of the situation,
pointing to the fact that he OBJ
tanned a draw with McCarty, who
defeated La Grave. He says tha4
he is confident of his ability to dis
pose of Antoine through superior
speed and cleverness, although he
admits that his prospective oppon-
ent has considerable of each.
Mathews states hat in matching
Johnny Morrison with Curley Bax-
ter, he has provided the local scrap
per with a hard man to beat. Bax-
ter has been boxing with Mathews
for the past few days and people
who have witnessed their bouts
claim hat if Baxter had Mathews
weight, he would be a match TOR
him.
If the ring will stand the com
bined weight of Soldier Bell and
Kid Carter, the tar-colored porter,
and the soldier a avoid tripping
owe the kids feet. the mixup be-
tween this pair will satisfy the
longing that the fans have had 10
see Carter in action. He has box
&c with local men during their train
ing and has shown himself to he
both fast and clever, considering
that he is a miniature whale.
There will also be a four-round
curtain raiser, the principals Of
which have not yet been selected.

BRUCE GRIT ON
LIVE ISSUES.

CONTINUED from last week.
With their theory Of entail
and theory of precedent. they
could tolerate the Indian as a
person stripped OF all rights
of possession and inheritance.
that is, a slave. Against this
provision the Indian waged a
war that resulted in his exter-
mination. Now l come to
the Negro. These whites had
need Of farm laborers. But
with their expectation of MILL
ions of future white immi-
grants from Europe, and ex-
pectation that their own de-
scendants would in time. in
crease to Ioo.ooo.ooo. they
determined that imported la
borers should have no right Of
inheritance in the country.
lest the 100000 descend
ants Of these in time should
have property needful to
whites. onlv as slaves could
imported labor have such a
perpetual disability. Now it
was solely to the end that Me-
groes and their increasing de-
ecendAnts should have no
power to inherit the country
that they were brought over
IN the character of slaves. IL
was not at all for the cheap
ness Of slave labor, nor out Of
fnhumanfty. Thewhites then
faced the question of these
Negroes increasing to millions
coming to own the country.
AS freemen, they certainly
would have acquired a large
part oft. To keep them from
acquiring any part of it they
were made slaves and for this
sole reason. From that day
to this hour the white race
has been exercised to keep
extinguished any power of
Negro blood to the country.
AS a precedent would be fatal
to such a provision. not sin
gle drop of Negro blood
could be recognized as having
a right of inheritance. On
this account. throughout the
entire period of slavery not a
single white could take. free.
or recognize his mulatto. oc-
toroon or quadroon child.
Such an act would place Ne
gro blood in the line of sue
cession to inherit by entail:
and the precedent Of a single
case would give all Negro
blood a hereditary right to
the country. FOt inc same
reason since emancipation,
laws have been passed by the
states against miscegenation
and half bloods made unre-
cognized outcasts. In any
country, the right of inherit
ance is the right eminent. 1t
alone transfers the country to
succeeding generations. 1t is
given only to the "blood of
the family who has not this
right is only a sojurner. tenant
servant, stranger a person dis
possessed of the country. The
mere right Of possession can
be bought out conhscated. op-
pressed. and terminated at
any time. But the right of in
heritance by passing over gen
erations and mixing the fam
lilies, is extinguishable. and
gives the country itself.
