cles dealing with the operations Of
the Atlanta Mines company have ap-
peared in every recent issue Of The
News and the information contained
in them may be relied upon as au-
thentic, as 1t is given out by q
thoroughly responsible manage
ment, supported by working maps
and other data. Work now being
conducted by the company is gener-
ally regarded as the most import
ant undertaken here in several
years, If not in the entire history
of the camp, al 1t will demonstrate
the value of deep mining here and
will determine If, as biologists be-
lieve, there are valuable deposits
of ore at great depth, formed by
what is termed secondary enrich
ment. This mean a re-deposition of
metals that have been leached in
solution from upper horizons. 1t
may be said that no work has ever
been undertaken here in the results
of which competent mining authori-
ties reposed greater confidence and
the next 40 to 60 days should bring
forth concrete results.
Ii. E. j., Trenton, N. j. - Little
work has been done recently In the
far eastern part of the district.
Some ore is being shipped from the
Klondyke district and good reports
are heard from some of the proper
ties.

U. S. SOLDIERS TAKING
TO CRICKET, IT'S SAID

Occasional letters from boys In the
service abroad show that while they are
teaching France and England the beau.
ties OF baseball they are gaining new
respect for the British game of cricket,
which they had previously thought about
as mild and harmless as croquet.
One soldier, writing of cricket game
he saw In october, declares that the
British felders, while weak on ground
ers, are pippins on fly balls. They'll go
down the field for a long fly, Judge il
just right, and grab II without gloves

Life History of
Terry McGovern
PART SEVEN
Terry Defeats George Dixon

AFTER he had defeated Pedlar Pal.
~ mcr. Terry, like many Of his prede.
cessors, went on tho stage. Harris and
Sam Scribncr formed a partnership and
organized n show company. THE Gay
Morning Glorlcs." Terry toured the
country as the chief attraction and tho
net profits for the season were $4,000.
There being no more bantams to beat,
Terry went after the featherweights
and Harris arranged fight with George
Dixon, the wonderful colorcd fighter.
Dixon was regarded as invlncible and
the bout at the old Broadway Athletic
Club on January 0, 1900 attracted q
record crowd. He readily outclassed the
negro and won after eight rounds Of
terrific fighting on the part of Nc.
Govern.
In March of the same year he fought
Oscar Gardner and the latter went down
to defeat in the third round One Of his
greatest fights was with Frank Erne
the lightweight champion. After much
discussion they agreed to fight at l2s
pounds. Bob Smith was Erne's manager.
and the weight fixed apparently gave
Erne an advantage, In Smiths estima.
tion.
He also thought McGovern would re.
tuse. But on this point he was mistaken
There never was a man that Terry was
AFRAID Of Harris grabbed the match at
the earnest begging of McGovern. Erns
was wonder, and while all agreed that
Terry was wonder himself, they could
not see how he would be able to whip
the heavier and clever Erne. But on
July l6, 1900, Terry showed how the
trick could be turned.
Terry earned, according to those who
Know him best, Sam Harris and Joe
Humphrey, in the neighborhood Of
S400,0OO. II is not true that Terry died
leaving nothing He owned his little
home in Eighteenth street, and Sam
Harris held in trust for his heirs $4,000.
Ihis was what was left Of the $4,000
received at the benefit for Terry which
was given at Madison Square Garden on
wednesday night, January 23, 1907.
Through the years that followed
Harris always kept that $4,000 intact
although, as matter of fact, IL had
really been spent years ago. But the
friendship that Harris held for. Terry
never relaxed and Harris always said
that he intended to see that Terry's
wire and son should have something
after the great little battler passed
away.
