KERENSKY HEADS LARGE
FORCE NE AR CAPITAL
LATEST ADVICES SAY
Former Premier Bids Fair to
Come Into Power As BOlS-
heviki CrumbleS Away

/. Copenhagen, Dec. 1S.-Former Prem
ier Kersnsky has appeared near Petro-
grad at the head of several thousand
troops, according to dispatch via
Haparanda printed today i'll the Ber-
lingstidente
The dispatch asserted that the Bols-
heviki had sent out armed forces TO
meet this newest counter revolution
against them.
Whether there has been any actual
fighting between the two sides was not
stated.
Kerensky was last reported in a lit.
tie village in Finland, to which he had
escaped despite price on his head set
by the Trotsky-Lenine government.
Recent elections to the constituent
assembly showed that the former prem.
ier had been elected to that body by
the city of Samarata as well as by the
southeastern troops.
United Press dispatches today from
Stockholm, from its staff correspond
ent, Joseph Shaplen, showed that the
Bolsheviki regime was fast crumbling
away.
With Kerensky reported in the fielo,
there are now apparently two separate
and distinct coultter-revolutionary
movements being waged against the
Bolsheviki.
One is the Cossack.Cadet party re-
volt, under Generals Galedines and
Korniloff, which is operating for the
most part in southeastern Russia.
The second the Kerensky move. The
above report does not indicate fhe
source of the former premier IS strength.
He may have joined with the COssack
rebels or he may be heading separate
revolt of the social democrats and the
Russian labor party.
The Cossack revolt has been repudi-
ated by the socialist democrats despite
the latter Is intense desir2 to see the
Bolsheviki unseated because of suspic-
ion that the monarchists are behind
Kaledines and Korniloflf.

approval. On this issue hangs the ques-
ton whether Fickert is to be recallSe
as district attorney at the polls
Ffckert 5 principal opponent in to-
DAYS recall election is Charles A.
Sweigert, who Fickert defeated at the
last regular election Frank p. Haynes
is the third candidate. During the pre-
election campaign, which has been ex-
ceedingly bitter, Fiekert has taken
stand upon the correctness of his ac-
tions in prosecuting Tom Mooney and
his alleged aecomplices in the bomb
cases. Colonel Roosevelt s indorsi$'ent
of Fickert and his statement that
Fickert s recall will hearten "every
anarchist and red flag agitator in the
country" has been widely used by
the district attorney.
Sweigert, in eamDaign speeches, has
bitterly attacked Fiekert s conduct Of
the bomb cases, having stressed the
alleged .'frame up" Of testimony. by
Frank c. Oxman, and Fiekert Is refus-
al to release Mrs. Rena Mooney and
Israel Weinburg on bail, after both
had been acquitted on one charge Of

JESS WILLARD SAYS
Return TO RING WILL
MAKE = A MILLION
Champion VIII Fight Fred Full
ton or Anybody Else For
Humanity Sake

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Jess Willard ad-
n.itted today that his contemplated re-
turn to the ring would net at least
million dollars for the Red Cross
the profits from a single fight.
The champion said he thought the pro
ceeds from the movies of the bout-if
they are allowed-would amount to that
much, in fact, while the fight itself
would draw one of the biggest "gates
of all time.
Jess was in regular evatanguay
mood throughout his interview with the
United Press, 81 don't care" was the
motto of his entire discourse.
He II fight anybody, anywhere, any
time-just so it is not before next sum
mer; and under any conditions-just
so the public is pleased. He prefers a
big city, however, as he believes if the
fight were held in small place, that
million dollars might suffer.
just at this junciure, Jess received a
telegram signed the Chamber of Com
merce of Sacramento, Cal. inviting the
champion to stage his bout in that city,
offering two blocks Of the capital ex-
tension grounds for an arena, and prom
Using an attendance of 10000 1t intim-
ated that the invitation might be sup
plemented by a personal invitation from
Governor stephens.
Fights in California are limited to
four rounds, but it was pointed out that
a special dispensation might be OBJ
tanned, inasmuch as the entire receipts
would be devoted to war charity.
Willard "didn' t careo if the fight
were held in Sacramento-but he would
prefer a bigger city.
And about an opponent. Oh, anybody;
Jess "didn t care' about that, either,
Fred Fulton2 "All right-fine!" ="
Jess thinks Fulton is ga big fellow,
with a good publicity agent probably
the logical man."
Jess was surprised" to hear that
Fred had claimed the title.
Then, there s Georges Carpenter, the
French champion, "who would draw a
big crowd" :"
Jess said he weighs about 255 or
260-" about 20 pounds overweight y,
Anyway, he looks as big as a noun
tain, and soft, awfully soft.
AS for quitting the ring-he has emo
idea of doing so; either now or in the
near future
Neither did he have any intention of
joining the army-at least "not at this
time" He is over the draft age.

100000 MINING DEAL.

Satisfactory progress is being
made by the New La Paz Geld Min

in northern Yuma county. There is
considerable mining activity in the
La Paz district at this time A
strong syndicate has lately made sub
stantial payments in connection
with a sixty-day option on approx
mately 5000 acres of ground, the
stipulated purchase price being re-
ported as 100000.
The prospective purchasers now
have in the field diamond drill and
have begun drilling operations, with
the intention of exploring the entire
acreage. They will build a live
bucket dredge and expect to have it

ASK FOR TROOPS,

JEROME, May 31.--A formal re-
quest that troops be sent to the Je-
rome copper district where about
1900 union miners went on strike a
week ago to enforce demands for re-
cognition of the union, was presented
last night to Lieutenant Colonel JAS
]. Hornbrook, Seventeenth United
States cavalry, by Charles W. Clark,
general manager of the United Verde
mine.
Lieutenant Colonel Hornbrook
made no definite reply to Clark's re-
quest, it was stated.
Charles w. Clark, general manager
of the United Verde, presented yes
terday to John Mcbride, conciliator
of the department of labor, a written
statement of concessions he would
make to the strikers. He offered to
pay the miners the Miami wage scale
of $5.25 a day for underground work
ers, which, he said, had been promis-
ed; to grant as low rates for water
and electricity as the Arizona Cor
poration commission will allow and
to cooperate with merchants toward
reducing the cost of living.

ORE FOR FIREPLACE.

The fireplace that is being con-
structed in the lobby of the new
Commercial hotel will be partly built
of ores from this district. Several
mines have already contributed spec
linens, but a great deal more are re-
Quired to complete the fireplace.
Specimens should be of good. size,
weighing from 20 to 100 pounds.
Every mining man in the district is
invited to contribute specimens and
leave them at the Commercial Bank.
When the new hotel is completed
the magnificent fireplace, constructed
of Parker ores, will prove great
advertisement to visitors.

ANOTHER HIGH-GRADE SHIP
MENT,

WENDEN, May 31.---Another car
of $4,000 or better copper-gold ore
is on the shipping platform of the A
&C. railroad at Wenden, consigned to
the smelter by NolacheK and Wal
colt, leasers at the Critic mine
Preliminary assays show that the
car now on the platform has a value
at least equal to the one shipped last
week, and, before the end of the
month, at least one, and possibly
two, other cars from the same con-
signees will go forward. The lease
expires with the current month.
The shipments recently made from
the Critic have created much local
excitement and, what is infinitely
better have drawn the attention of
the mining world to the fact that
Mineral Valley is actually producing
in commercial quantities, ores of a
richness unequaled elsewhere in the
southwest.

TWO KILLED IN
JEROME STRIKE

JEROME, May 3O.-Two men
were killed here last night, another
was wounded probably fatally and a
fourth was slightly wounded when
shots were fired into group of

rushed from the mine to the United
Verde & Pacific railroad station in
response to fire alarm.
The dead are:

Generao Mayogotia. Italian, en-
ploye of the United Verde shop.
The wounded:
w. N. Terry, guard, of Phoenix;
dying.
Horace Garrison, watchman; shot

The body of Evans was found near

Sheriff ]. j. Young, who made an

that the fire was incendiary He
said the watchman at the depot re-
ported saw a number of men
running down the road after the fire
was discovered.
The railroad depot was destroyed
by the fire and a quantity of baggage
was lost
1t is confidently expected here that

very soon take charge of the situa-
tion and protect the operation of
the mines.
