FIGHTERS ARE
HERE FOR BOUT
MEEHAN AND NORTON ARRIVED
THIS MORNING FOR BIG
CONTEST

Willie Meehan and AL Norton ar
rived here this morning for their To-
round fight on the night of July 5.
They will not train in the Athletic
club building, but will start work
Immediately in the quarters former
ly occupied by the Unity club. The
Athletic club building was found to
be too warm for training in the sum-
mer.
Everyone who saw Norton today
remarked on his appearance and
stated that he should give Meehan
a hard fight, IL not defeat him. He
now weighs IT'S pounds and is in
first-class condition. His general
build, particularly his height and
reach, are we'll known to fight fol-
lowers. His manager, Moose Tau
sig, will arrive here in a few days,
according to Norton.
Meehan is as fat and sassy" as
when here before. He states that he
is 10 pounds lighter than at that
time. Since his previous visit he
has been married and divorced. He
says 1t was a case of love at first
sight and that he had no business
getting married anyhow. How a
woman could fall in love with Willie
at first sight is incomprehensible, in
his opinion. but he says 1t happened.
Meehan has an assortment of neck
ties with him this trip, ONE OF
which sound like a bombardment on
the west front and are more audible
than the one Mike Catalan used to
wear.

Work of a Microscope.

One of the newest of Astronomical
Instruments is the blink microscope.
The principle involved is similar to
that of the moving picture machine
In the latter the film used consists Of II
series Of pictures. each ii little differ
ent from its predecessor. IT these are
presented In rapid succession the Sc
ries is fused into II picture in which
the succeeding differences appear as
motion. The blink microscope enables
II to compare II photograph of ii ror
ton of the heavens with another Of
the same region taken several years
later. An ingenious contriVance brings
first one then the other plate into view
In rapid succession. If in the interval
between two exposures Il star in the
region has changed its position appre
Gladly it will appear TO move and can
be detected at once. Formerly II was
necessary to measure carefully the 10
sitions of all the stars on both plates
In order to detect those with large
proper motions Such stars are some
times called 'runa way" stars

STRIKE SPREADS
IN BUTTE MINES
NINE OWNERS DECLARE MEN
QUIT BECAUSE THEY ARE
INUNDATED

BUTTE, Mont, June 21.-Addi-
tional miners walked out of the
mines in the Butte district yester-
day. 1t was stated hat less than
20 per cent of the normal force
is now working. For the first time
in years but one shift, that of the
day, is being worked.
The Metal Miners Union appeal
ed by telegraph to William B. Will
son, secretary of labor, to send a
representative to Butte to investi-
gate the unions demands. The press
committee of the union also sent
to Miss Jeanette Rankin, congress
oma from Montana, a request
that she use her influence to send
a representative.
The Metal Mine Workers union is
gaining members daily, according
to it's officers, and the mines are
losing workers. At n mine I'm
ploying 800 men on a shift, not
one miner reported for work. The
mine owners stated hat their men
are not reporting because they have
been intimidated.

FOURTH MARKED
BY %SELf-DEN|Al
GOLDFIELD FAVORS HELPING
RED CROSS RATHER THAN
CELEBRATING

A thorough canvass of sentiment
in Goldfield shows an overwhelming
majority of the people to be in favor
of celebrating the Fourth of July
this year by universal ~self-denial for
the benefit of the Red Cross. Men
of all stations and occupations have
been sounded on the subject, and
with scarcely an exception they
have declared for devOting every
dollar that can be raised in the
town to swell Goldfield's fund fcr
the aid of the Red Cross.
So profound is this feeling that
practically every source from which
funds have been forthcoming in the
past for celebrations on Inde1cnd-
ence day will be closed this year.
The mining companies. merchants,
mlIoads and individuals who in for
n!er years have Civ - in liberal
measure for this p.rpoSe have de
tGmined to withhold such contribu-
tons this year and to devote the
funds usually donate for the
Foulth 10 war relief
hiready the town lnd the or
porations representing its leading
industries, as well as TIE merchants,
have given with liberia! hand for
the benefit of the Red Cross and
the Y. M: c. A., not to mention sub
scriptions to the Liberty Bonds, for
which they seek no credit. Those
who nave been appointed to commit
tee work and who have been charg-
ed with the onerous duty of collecf-
ing funds, are strongly opposed to
asking the merchants to make furt!i
er contributions, particularly VIII
the merchants have in many insta = =
es expressed a desire to give to the
REQ Cross the money they would, IN
der ordinary conditions willingly do
nate for a celebration on the Fourth.
1t has been suggested hat some
form of entertainment might be pro-
vided for the smaller children on
Independence day, and that a com
mittee OF men and ONE could un-
dertake this work, to h end that
the little one be provided with
games and simple refreshments on
the Fourth. but it is felt generally
hat the larger children should b.
made to realize the gravity of their
country's present position and that
any form of celebration. excepting
for the very young children. would

which there could be no justification

TEMPERATURES IN MAY
WAS BELOW NORMAL

The Nevada weather man says:
May was the eighth consecutive
mont with the mean temperature
below normal in Nevada, and there
have been only three colder Mays in
the last 20 years. Killing frosts
were general OF the 10th, except in
the extreme south portion, where
no frosts occurred during the month
Some damage was done to apples.
cherries, plums and garden truck,
and this frost with continued cold
weather retarded the growth of al.
falfa and other vegetation. The
precipitation was heavy in practi-
cally all sections of the state, and
averaged slightly more than double
the normal, The greatest amounts
fell generally in the north portion
and the last moisture was recorded
at places in Nye and Esmeralda
counties. 1t was we'll distributed

MINES At RAND
MAKE PROGRESS
IN WORKINGS OF
COMPANY

RAND, New, June 21. - With
three feet of 1854 ore exposed in
the drift from the 18O-foot level,
and a wide body of $50 ore expos
ed in the cross-cut slightly above
this point, together with large re-
serves of excellent milling ore block
ed out at numerous points, the Ne
vada Rand company is considering
the early construction of a modern
mill. There is 1900 tons of good
ore on the dumps and vigorous work
has started on the $50 level to
open the downward extension of the
veins to best advantage.
Sufficient high-grade quartz is in
sight to insure a long period of
shipments to outside plants, but
it is the plan of the management
to treat all the ore on the ground,
thus avoiding costly transportation
charges. Plans are under way for
improvements to the mine plant,
preliminary 10 more aggressive
work.
Driving for the big orebody that
yielded rich ore near the 10O-foot
level is proceeding rapidly on the
500 level of the Queen Regent Mer-
ger mine. Machine drills are en-
ployed and SO satisfactorily is the
work advancing that Superintendent
Davis expects to start shipments
from this point in the near future.
Sinking of the shaft another 100
feet is also recording good progress.
At the Copper Mountain group
four leasing companies are ship
ping, and the Jumbo Extension COM
pany, having the property under
option, is sinking a third shaft to
open the ore deposit to best advan-
tage: Ore of good grade has been
opened over an area fully a half
mile in extent, with much of the
product averaging 10 to Is per
cent copper. From No. 1 shaft
workings ore is being sent to GUS
tom plants. 1t is officially stated
that recent work has been thoroug-
ly satisfactory.

FRAGRANT Fern.

Some say 1t has the fragrancy Of new
mown hay. 1t reminds others Of fresh
strawberries. There are also those
who detect 1t In the perfume of the
wild rose. Opinions differ as to what
the fragrance resembles, but all opin-
ions are unanimous in praising 1t. So
they call 1t the fragrant fern.
1t grows In small. round clumps In
clefts on the face of a precipice, out OF
reach of collectors, who haven't the
patience to hunt for 1t. For this rea-
son 1t is not well known. Its out Of
the way haunts provide an effectual
hiding place.
The hardness of the fragrant fern
surprises the amateur collector. 1t

would be scorched and withered. Yet

WORKING MINES
IN CANOELAR|A
OLD DISTRICT is BEING REVIV-
ED BY WORK OF
COMPANIES

e. S. Chafey, who is one of Ne
vada's best known miners and pros
pectors, is in from the old camp
of Candelaria where he is now oper-
ating. He reports that there is
quite a little activity in that sec
ton, there being three outfits which
are operating on company account
and three sets of leasers who are
in ore. Between them all there is
now being shipped an average of
90 tons per day.
In addition, Mr.. Chafey and his
associates are outputting 25 tons
daily. making a total of S5 IONS
daily which is being hauled a mile
and a half to the narrow gauge
railroad and thence to the smell
ters.
At one time Candelaria was one
of the most active camps in the state
and is credited with an output of
$50, 900 900. The Diablo mine was
worked to a vertical depth of 400
feet, while the shaft on the Holmes
followed the vein on it's incline to
a depth of 1900 feet. The values
in the Candelaria ores are practical

The kitchen is the real workshop OF

ways done. There is ii logical order
for the arrangement of the equipment.
