that is somewhat doubtful. From all
indications Georges would be no match
for the worlds champion, Jack
Dempsey. 1t would not help the sport
of boxing any to have this idol of the
French sportsmen, the lovable young
poilu, beaten by pugilist who had no
particular interest in the late war.
That would jolt the fitness of things,
and am afraid that this is what
might happen if Carpenter should be
matched with Dempsey.
1t is practically certain that they
will be matched. Promoters will make
the inducements so big that Carpenter,
whose fortune was lost during the war.
will accept. Dempsey has said that he
will insist upon a match with whoever
won the fight in London. Already Tex
Rickard, who has promoted some of the
biggest boxing matches in this coun-
Try, is man9uvering. to sign Carpenter
and Dempsey. The bout will be held
in the United States.

shat he would invade Europe to chal-

Apparently the visit has not hardened
him to crowds, for the popular heir

 The purpose of Colonel Randolph's visit to Tampico region was to inspect the properties of the East Coast Oil company which is owned by the Southern Pacific of Mexico railroad. He made his journey overland by way of Laredo, Texas.
 The railroads oil company has loading station at Torres, eight miles up the Panueo river from Tampico, another 12 miles distant Shipments are made by steamer to Galveston and Algiers. the latter opposite New Or leans.
 "The Tampico oil field is an impor- tant producer" said Colonel Randolph. Its production was 60,000,000 barrels last year, less than that of the Cali firnia field. however, which. think was 1O0,00O,OOO barrels.

MINE MEN OBJECT TO NEW ORE RATE
 CLASS|F|CAT|ONS
Present Method Declared to Be Invaded, New Burden
 Put on Shippers

An order just asked for by the Den yer district freight traffic committee would, if put into effect, eventually revolutionize the established system of handling and collecting for the move ment of all raw materials.
 Under the proposed rulings, the present method of declaring valua- tion" is declared to be violation oI the Cummins act and ores are to be charged at actual valuation as dis closed by the shelter or sales reports the rate to be the present rate-up to 100 value per ton and per cent of value in excess of $10O value per net ton. This the established practice of releasing all values on shipments un- der a declaration of value in order to receive the benefits of a reasonably low tonnage rate is to be eliminated and the railroad administration or its successor, the railroad companies, will be given access to the financial trans actions in connection with production or sales of ores or concentrates.
 The mining industry of the west is already overburdened and threatened with collapse and formal protests have been filled by the American mining congress, with both the western freight traffic association and the in- terstate commerce commission against the adoption of the ruling. A hearing has been announced in Chicago May 13, but ore producers of the west are aroused and haev asked for a post ponement to June IS, at which time the evils and impractical features of the proposhed ruling may be dis cussed.
 It is stated that the effort to SC. cure the promulgation of such a revo- lutionary regulation through a local district request is the beginning of plan to secure closer vision into the financial transactions and to increase the railroad revenue from all raw ma terials.

NEVIS OF FROM MINING DISTRICTS OF ARIZONA
NEW LOWELL CHANGE ROOM IS COMPLETED;
 IS SEVENTH OF KIND

The new Lowell change room at the Lowell shaft of the Copper Queen nas been completed, and is ready for oc- cupancy.
 This is the seventh of a series of change rooms of the type that has been adopted by the Copper Queen as a standard, the first six having been erected at the Uncle Sam, Sacramento, Dallas, Southwest, Czar and Holbrook shafts. The only division now lack ing a modern change room is the Gardner, and it is probable that work will be started upon this at an early date.
 The new change rooms are equipped with hot and cold shower baths, and have lockers where each workman has place to leave his valuables and his change of clothes in security. c
 The change rooms are made as sani- tary as possible; the lockers and benches are built well off the floor for convenience in sweeping and washing. The wet working clothes of the miners are hung up close to the ceiling by means of pulleys and ropes, the end of the ropes being inside the lockers.
 Galvanized iron partitions hang from the roof to prevent the clothes of the various men from touching each other.
 Ample window openings around the walls in the upper half of the build ing permit free circulation of air be- tween shifts, and consequently rapid and complete drying of the clothes. The concrete floors are flushed out daily with hose. An hour or so be- fore the men come on or off shift, the windows are closed and the building warmed up by steam to comfortable temperature for changing.
