TAKE A PUNCH AND SMILE
By BILLY SUNDAY. Famous Evangelist

and we're up against battle with Wildcat Bill
 It's pipe we'll blaze across with the haymaker as soon as we get into shape, and the old count of 10 will be sounded over Wild Willie as he lays with his map in the rOsin.
 But we're not going to round into the pink unless we're ready and will- ing to assimilate q few slams in tho gym while we're training.
 If we can't take 2 crack now. how are we going to stand up under the punches we'll get when we're really in the big show? Wildcat Bill starts then, up from the hip, and you've got to admit he's there with the old Mary Ann like Frank Moran. But. if we're trained right, we can take 'em. then come back for more. give him the boot, and then pop over with that fast right of our own.
 So don't whine if you have to give up some of your dough; if you can't have the big eats every day in the week; if you're cut off from youf booze. or if you have to go shy 2 little on your coal.
 All these things are only little love taps. which you'll crack a smile over when you hear the world yelling Champion and you collect the big bet and the glory that goes with if.

 Jack Dempsey-the most loved fighter that ever stepped into the ring peau and buried these many years, his mem- ory lives, and ever will live. Clean ana fine in every fibre of his being. he was a model for every sport loving American and an everlasting honor to pugilism which he helped to make famous Notn- ing better bespeaks the man and the warrior, than this motto, which was his through all the years of his life:
 T dare do all that may become man, Who dares do more is none.'
 To know Jack Dempsey was to idolize him. There was something magnetic about him, something which drew one to him and forced admiration and gen. uine affection. Jack Dempsey was the ultimate in gameness and in courage. He never knew what it was to quit, and he stood up at various times during his career under beatings that would nave floored any man. A wonderful fighter. wonderful man. And the pity of 1t all h that Dempsey died so early.

BIG MINING TROUBLES
BEING COMPROMISED
Prince Consolidated and Vir
ginia- Louise Reach an
Agreement.

Good things are coming to Phoebe
in punches. The latest and most i'm
portant news item is the settlement
by compromise of all the troubles be-
tween the Prince Consolidated Min
ing and Smelling Company and the
Virginia-Louise Mining company.
AS was published in the Record
last week, the Virginia Louise secur-
ed Judgment for S27,3343S against
the Prince Consolidated. The court
costs amounting to $4,000 were
charged to the Prince. The latter
company had pending against the
Louise an apex suit and the Louise
had asked the State railroad COM
mission to declare the Princes priv
ate railroad common carrier.
Judgment Cancelled.
By the terms of the compromise
the heavy judgment against the
Prince will be cancelled. The apex
suits will be dropped as will the
common carrier case
According to the agreement that
has been reached, the Prince will ac-
commodate theLouise by allowing the
latter to ship ore over the former s
railroad The Louise will build suffici-
ent trackage to connect up with the
railroad. This will permit the Louise
to get its ore to market.
The agreement which runs for five
years has been signed by the princi-
pals of both sides.
Work to Start at Once.
Judge Charles Lee Horsey. presi-
dent of the Virginia-Louise, told the
Record that the immediate improve
ments to be made by his company
will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Work on these improve
ments will begin April Is and it is
expected that 25 men will be added
to the Phoebe payroll at once.
The Virginia-Louise will hold a
meeting here or at Las Vegas March
2S for the purpose of ratifying the
agreement reached. 1t is possible
that the Prince will have meeting
for the same purpose before the 2S.
This meeting will be held in Salt Lake
City.
The settlement of this suit means a
great deal for Phoebe. The Record de-
sires to congratulate the principals
ard the attorneys for having reached
q compromise upon matter or sucf
vital Importance to this section and
to the mining industry of the country
Iroadmindedness has been shown.
