TRICKS
Of LOCAL WEATHER
RAIN, HAIL AND SUNSHINE ALL
IN ONE DAY IN GOLD
FIELD

Goldfeld was subjected to sew
eral varieties of weather yesterday.
For some time during the early
morning hours a heavy rain fell,
which converted the several inches
of snow on the ground into a SOFT,
mushy, wet substance which can
not be given a name, since it was
not snow and neither was it water.
All the creeks and gulches of tow
had small rivers coursing down
their beds all day.
The cutters of Goldfield, in the
business section and in outlying
districts, presented a sight that
would have brought joy to the
homesteader, could he have con-
served the water going to waste on
the desert. Small streams rippled
down the streets and into the gut
ters with a merry tune. The street
department was the busiest depart
ment of the county government yes
terday.
A large force of men were en-
gagged throughout the day keeping
the water coursing freely in the
cutters and trying to make travel
easier about town. The rain that
caused so much damage to proper
ty in southern California and in the
foothills served only to discom-
mode Goldfield residents. No prop
erty damage "a reported in this
part of the state.
A second weather change was re-
corded last evening, when the
ground was again covered with u
generous coat of white, fluffy flakes
of snow. This, together with a
hard freeze last night, resulted in
a mor pleasant situation underOot
this morning. The freeze will re-
tard the rapid melting of the heavy
snowfall, which will be of material
benefit to the stockmen of this re-
gion.
January has started in we'll for II
record-broaSing year for precipi-
tation On tho desert. During the
recent storms a total of 1.67 inches
of moisture fell and was recorded
by A. Booth, at the transformer
station, where he voluntarily keeps
a record OF the weather conditions
for this district for governmental
statistics. OF this total. over los
inches fell during the heavy rain
fall and snow-storm of yesterday.
A record compiled by Mr.. Booth
during the past six years. shows tina
a general average for this district
is eight inches of precipitation fol

feet, indicating that it will prove
quite extensive and an important
producer of high-grade gold ore.
Deep snow and stormy weather
during the last two weeks have
materially interfered with the work
on the Merger and all other prop
critics in the Rochester district. 1t
has caused a total cessation of all
work on the Merger claims on Sum-
flower hill, where the snow aver
ages six to eight feet deep, with
drifts up to Is feet deep.
Only by the most heroic methods
have men been able to get up to
the Ferry & Samson workings at
irregular intervals, and it has been
a hard fight to keep operations go
ing in the Pitt channel, the portal
of which is located we'll down to-
ward the base of the hill, quite
convenient to the town of Roches-
ter under normal conditions.
Now that the big storm, which
has broken all records of the last
80 years in Nevada, has subsidized,
it is hoped that within a compare
lively short time work can be car
ried on at various underground
workings without much interior
ence from snow, as roads and trails
will gradually be opened, but it will
probably be a considerable time
before any surface work can be at
tempted. In the meantime, all COM
panies will try to make the best
of the unusual conditions.

AMERICAN AVIATOR
ENTERTA|NS JAPS
CHARLES NILES TERMED "COM-
MODORE PERRY OF THE AIR.
BY SPEAKER

TOXIC, Jan. Rarely has an
as did the flight of Charles Niles,
the American aviator who gave two
exhibitions before some of the larg-
est crowds ever witnessed in japan.
The first days crowd was estimat-
ed at 100000 and the second at
900, 1000. The housetops and other
points of vantage about the Aoyama
parade where Niles Unanswered in
the air were black with people and
many arrived hours before the time
of flying in order to get a good po-
sition. Prince Higashi Kuni who is
present on both occasions as were
several of the junior princes of the
imperial Japanese house.
Mr.. Niles did his flying under the
auspices of the Aero club of Japan
of which the president is Gen. Cal
shi Nagaoka.
This was the first time that the
people of Japan have seen aviation
feats in midair and the maneuvcIs
of Niles who flew upside down,
looped the loop and gave an exhibit
ticn of what is called failing
leaves caused wonder. The great
crowd became frantic with cheering
and so unmanageable that it broke
loose and rushed to the place where
Niles had landed. 1t was only after
some desperate struggling that the
airman's assistants were able 10
the machine as well as the airnlan
from the enthusiastic and somewhat
embarrassing acclamations of the
crowd.
Mr.. Niles was presented to Prince
Higahi Kuni who warmly compl;-
mented him upon his exhibition, the
like of which. he said, he had never
seen. Several floral pieces were also
presented to the aviator. Japanese
officers headed by General Nagaoka
gave a dinner to Mr.. Niles at which
General Nagaoka referred to him az
the Commodore Perry Of the Air"
The officer said:
You have come to us at a time
when the state of aviation in Japan
is quite similar to the state of civ
ilization when Commodore Perry
came. We confidently expect that
the progress of aviation in this en-
pire will be enhanced greatly by
your flights and hence We can APP
p~ropriately give you the title OF
the Commodore Perry of the Air >
he visit of Niles has served to
arouse greather interest in flying
in Japan and has spurred the Jap
anese aviation corps to greater ac-
tivities. A national aero society
which will be devoted to the cause
of aviation was organized through
the efforts OF Lieut.. Gen. Nagaoka
A monthly magazine will be publish
ed with the object of increasing pop
ular interest in aviation and at the
same time a campaign will be
started to secure contributions BY
which the society expects to organ
in a voluntary air service squad

SIG u W EtNt ANS'C
ROCHESTER,, New, Jan. 20. =
Drifting on the Rochester No. 4 vein
which was recently cut in the Pitt
tunnel of the Rochester Merger
Mines company is being advanced
north and south from the tunnel
with machine drills. The north drift
is being driven to tap the so-called
Boughton ore shoot, which made
a notable production in the upper
workings when operated as the
Boughton lease. The general av-
erage of all ore shipped from that
lease was over $50 a ton. and some
of it IAN better than 1925 a ton in
carload lots. Although some good
punches of fair ore have been
found in the north drift, values
are cratic, but very encouraging.
At some distance south of the
line of the Pitt tunnel the south
drift is expected to pick up the
downward extension of the rich
ore-shoot that is now being devel-
oped from the old Ferry and Sam
son lease workings, 800 or 400
feet above the tunnel level. Rails
ing and drifting is in progress in
the upper workings, where the drift
shows three to four feet of ore
that samples around 1925 a ton in
gold, and several dollars silver.
The raise shows about the same

shoot has been drifted on about 35

DECISION IN BIG
FIGHT UNLIKELY
COMPLETE KNOCKOUT WILL BE
REQUIRED TO CHANGE
TENURE OF TITLE

NEW YORK, Jan. %. - The pro-
posed bout between Willard and
Moran is of unusual interest in
that it brings to bear upon the
heavyweight title several angles
which are unusual in ring contests
wherein this title has been involved.
Under the laws OF the state OF New
York the boxers will meetin what Is
termed a 10-round sparring exhi-
bition, without decision, and if both
men are on their feet at the expi-
ration of boxing, future ring records
will carry the bout as a no-decisioh
contest.
Consequently the only way in
which the heavyweight champion
ship contest could pass from Will
lard, the holder, to Moran would be
for the latter to knock out his op-
ponent or win on a foul so deliber-
ate that there could be no question
as to it's intent. 1t "a be seen,
therefore, that the chief interest in
the contest hinges on the possibili-
ty of either Willard or Moran knock
ing out his opponent and thus dem
onstrating decisive superiority.
Since the days when h~eavyweights
first donned gloves and fought I'M
der Queensberry rules the ring rec
ords show that k~nockouts in bouts
in which champions have participant
ed have averaged well over
ten rounds, Notwithstanding the list
includes such powerful hitters as
Jeffries, Fitzsimmons, Sharkey.
Johnson and Sullivan. Going bacl;
to the year 1892, when Corbett won
from Sullivan in 81 rounds, the ia
bles show that seven heavyweight
title holders fought IS battles in
which the championship was ct stake.
These contests included those in
which the battles terminated in a
knockout or a referees decision. All
the average rounds to a knockout
Appropriated 13 h. Ir this list OF
ring battles are included several in
which poor opponent; we're quickly
disposed of, such AS the ,Ietfries-
Munroe and Burrs Squlros bouts.
When the list is pruned to those n
which the title actually passed, tie
average is still higher.
From the time Corbett disposed of
Sullivan until Willard punched JOHN
son into the ex-championship class
eve title holders ~ose anG fell
and the total number of rounds nee
essary in the change of champion
ships was 11S, which gives an av-
reage of very close to II rounds
per title battle.
From these figures it will be seen
hat the chances of a knockout in
the 10-round bout between Willard
and Moran are against such a feat.
The records of the boxers themselves
when taken in connection with the
performances of the prospective OPP
ponent would appear to be against
the scoring of a knockout inside 10
rounds. Moran has fought AZ bouts.
winning 10, or about As per cent, by
knockouts, and the average duration
of bouts ending in a knockout was
five rounds.
Willard has engaged in 80 battles,
IS of which he won by the X. o.
route, giving him an average of
about 60 per cent. The average of
rounds to knockouts in the cham
pion's class is 6 2-3 for these 10
bouts. That either Willard or Moran
can fight up to these averages when
faced by an opponent of the caliber
that he will be called upon to meet
in this contest is most unlikely.
