Kid Potty, the Saratoga Kid will
be seen in action again at the LotoS
Club Wednesday night when he meets
Joe Gargano, the clever fighter of
Elizabeth. Kid Potty hasn't entered
the ring since his las out with Moe
Forgottson, at which time he licked
that worthy to the satisfaction of all
local fight fans.
Potty is in particularly fine mettle
just now as he was with the local bat
terry on its two weeks training stunt
at Camp Edge. During his stay at
the camp the Saratoga Kid took on
some weight and hardened up con-
side rably n with the training he
receives while sparring with Matty
Herbert, Jack London and Chick Kap-
per he has lost hone OF his c~leyerness.
Potty has been training industriously
right along in order to be in tip-top
condition should Kid Freedman OF
New Brunswick accept one of the
many challenges that the local boy
has hurled at him.
Gargano, who has fought here q
number of times, is quite popular in
this city as he is a boy that gives the
crowd a fight from the beginning to
the final round. Not long ago this
Elizabethian made quite an impress
sion at the Lotos when he whipped
Young McQuigan of Staten Island so

Potty and Gargano will meet in
n OF the eight-round bouts OF the
All-Star show next Wednesday night.
There viii be another eight-round
match.
Joe McNulty sends word that he
has rematched Matty Herbert and
Joe F~orgione for a return match at
the Lotos for Wednesday night, Octo-
Der Q.
From Long Branch comes the dope
that Jack London is spending the
most week of his life as
Ted Kid Lewis sparring partner. It
seems London boxes with the welter~
weight champ every morning and af-
ternoon and these rounds are not love
matches either. Jack is taking q lot
of punishment but In turn Is giving
the champion a hard time of II every
time they enter the ring. Jack states
that LOWS will hand Benny Leonard
the kayo and Jack ought to know bel
cause he has acted as sparring part@l
ner for Deonard also.
London will fight at the Lotos nexH

GlLPlN HAS THE ORES
NEEDED IN MUNITIONS

President Wilson has stated that
those mining pyritic and manganese
ores can render as much service to
the country as the farmer who raises
wheat or sugar beets, as these ores
are much sought Tor their acids
which enter largely in the manufac
ture of munitions.
Gilrin county has long been noted
for its gold production, and associat.
ed with the gold is silver, lead. cop.
per and iron pyrites, all of which
now command a high price and ma.
terially assist in the mining of gold.
The president has called attention
to this shortage and requests that
the metal miners of the western
states crowd their production OF py.
rite, manganese and tungsten ores
during the period of the war
The government is now making
its coal classifications for the com
ing winter and is formulating the
rank of preference to be observed
when the shortage is upon us. Army
and navy come first railroads come
second, public utilities third, manu-
facture fourth, and lastly the indiv.
idual consumer.
To expedite the production OF
these different ores which win in.
crease in demand as the war pro
crosses, it will be necessary to pres.
ent this matter in a proper light be-
fcre the recently appointed U. S.
fuel commissioner, Geo. ID. Kimball,
at Denver and see If we cannot be
placed in one of the preferred class
os.
Very few. of our mines are in a
position to store winters supply
OF fuel and some way should be de-
vised whereby the fuel administrator
would include this district in the pre-
ferred class as 1t produces nearly all
the metals needed by the govern
ment.
This is a question that should be
taken up by the Metal Miners As
sociation of the county and If consid-
cred advisable, aproint committee
to wait upon Mr.. Kimball at Denver
and devise means whereby our MIN
ers may produce these necessary
metals the entire winter.

GiLPiN COUNTY LINED UP
FOR SAVING STAMP DRIVE

County Charm an Of War Savings,
H. H. Lake, las now completed de-
tailed plans for canvassing the coun-
ty in accordance with President VIII
sons proclamation. 1t Is not neces-
sary to explain that the purchase of
a War Savings Stamp is the best
type of present day investment. pay
ing four per cent interest, which is
compounded every three months, and
aside from any desire that we may
have to stand back of our govern
ment, it Is a most desirable invest
ment. But all good Americans are
personally obligated to assist our
government in the winning of the
terrible war in which we are now en-
, gagged, and you are expected to dc
your part in the War Savings drive.
Gilpin county has done and will con-
tinue to do her share.
Between now and June 2Sth, ev.
eryone in the county will be called
upon to agree to buy War Savings
Stamps during the remainder of the
year. 1t is the desire of our gov.
ernment that we all inyest consist
emily and in doing so we can feel
that each and every one of us has
done his share.
In connection with the War Stamp
drive the committee will also take a
complete census of the county. This
is most important and must be &C
curate. When this drive is over the
CON mittee will have list and rec
ord of everyone who is 10 years OF
age or over, now residing in the
county. And when the time comes
and conditions are again normal
thruout the country, there will be 9
complete record in black and white
of every man, woman and child In
the county, showing just what each
has done, CT has not, to help our
government win the war.
1t is the earnest wish OF MIR. Lake
that everyone assist in the War
Stamp drive and county census work

sistent1v invest during the remain
der Of the year, and have the neces
sary information for the taking OF

DISAPPOINTMENT TO
s'' MINING INDUSTRY

The copper industry was greatly
disappointed by failure Of war indus
tries board to recomm end to Pres
Wilson an increased price for cop
per for two and one-half months
from June IL.
Producers and refiners had been
given practical assurance of am in.
crease of approximately a cent a
pound, mcst of which was to cover
additional refining charges necessi.
tated by greatly increased cost .of
labor and supplies.
This increased Price would have
encouraged production in many
small properties now greatly handi-
capped or prevented from operating
due to unusual cost of labor and sup
plies.
The producers and refiners in ask.
ing for this raise presented figures
which clearly proved the justice OF
their claims and many persons thor
oughly familiar with the copper sit
uation feel that President Wilson
nay yet grant the increase.

ROBERT II. SAYRE
DROPS A LINE

Robert H. Sayre, flying cadet,
now stationed at March Field, River
side, Cal, writes a friend a very in
terestipg account of the training
and experiences of an army aviator,
and in addition sends his regards to
all the boys" meaning of course,
those of US who are young enough
to come under that classification:
Il am now military aviator, as
! passed the tests last week for my
air about 40 hours, which does not
sound like very much but when you
realize that 1t means a total Of close
to 5000 miles Of travel in the adr it
is quite a good deal. This coming
week we win take up stunts" or
aerial acrobatics and, believe me,
they are some stunts. You go up
5000 or 1000 feet and loop the loop,
fall in tail spins and all the other
crazy stunts. am not nervous
about 1t as 1t does no good to worry.
The tail spin, you either come out of
it or you don't, and there you are.
So why bother. We then have for
nation flying when we practice fly
ing together in various formations
like geese in v or other shapes.
Then we have several long cross
country trips to make. That COM
rletes all your straight flying in
structions, after which it is very har
to tell where we will go. l may be
sent to some hot concentration camp
liz Texas, or might stay here In Cal
ifornia for while. 1t depends large
ly on what classification / am given.
The air pilots are assigned to var
ious jobs, such as straight fighting
or pursuit, or photography, recon-
Nuisance, bombing, ETC., and your
work consists Of training along that
particular line.
the excessive heat might and day.
The field ils a plateau surrounded by
high mountains and covers several
thousand acres. The barracks, ham
gars, ETC., cover a square mile or
more. There are only a half dozen
other flyers here as advanced as
am. the others beirg beginners, so
! will probably be one of the first
graduates of the field.
II can't tell you how wonderful
this flying game really is. To be
able to climb right up into the sky
ond above the clouds ais have many
a time and outrival the birds them
selves In cavorting around in the air
LIS certainly a new sensation for hum
an beings"
