COAL MINING
 IN NEW MEXICO
 ISSPEEDED UP

ALBUQUERQUE N. NJ, Jan. 20 ,by Associated Press) Coal mining has been New Mexico's most important war industry. In this activity the state has made crcditablc record, withou more than touching her vast deposits.
 An increased coal production of 500 900 tons in 1918 over that of 1917 is reported by the state fuel admins tration Miners wages have been raised from so to 65 per cent Seven ty-fivc per cent of the increased price of coal is due to the increase in wages. it is officially stated.
 This augmented output has released immense quantities of fuel oil for na val and military purposes. It is ex- pected that in view of the present shortage of oil. coal will continue to be used as fuel by large industries, especially mines and smeltcrs.
 Among New MeXicos war plants is the zinc oxide factory at Waldo, in Santa Fe county. It has operated con tinuously on ores from New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. It's product has been used in the manufacture of paints for America s warships and in making rubber tires for Yankee army trucks.
 Since New Mexico is not manu- featuring state, it is not confronted with the problems of readjustment of war industries to peace needs. Its mines and smclters can continue in full blast, for a world under construc- tion needs metals and minerals as much as a world at war

 The announccmnt that a represnt. tative of the post office department will be stationed in the Territory to look after the mail problems will do much to cut the red tape prevailing when a new mail route is asked for, and Mir.

LYNCH DEFIES
 CHAMP KILBANE

Joe Lynch, the ational New crk baHtzIs., recently honorably discharged frcnl the army, having served Uncle Sam over a year on the battle front of France, and who won twenty-round decision over Tommy Noble, the English bantam champion and also the English idol, Jimmy Wilde, in fifteen rounds, although the decision was rendered against him, is hot on the trail of the worlds ban tam-weight championship, now held by Pete Herman. Eddie Mead Lynch's manager announces that he knows a club that will guarantee Her man $500 if he will risk his title in decision bout with Lynch and he (Mead) will give Sammy Goldman Herman's manager, a $1,0oo bonus If he signs articles of agreement
 There is no questioning the fact that Lynch is entitled to a cfanc.. al the championship. His greatest fea: was the knocking out of Kid Will Hams, former bantam champion ir three rounds, a stunt no other boxer has been able to accomplish. He also has twelve round decisions over such stars as Pal Moore, Dick Loadmar and Terry Martin. He has also out pointed Herman, Frankie Burns, Jack Sharkey, Johnny Ert1e, Kid Wolfe Dutch Brandt-in fact every lad his weight in the country.
 Lynch is an Irish-American, born on New York's West Side. He has been boxing about four years. He stands 5 ft. 1-2 inches and is at his best at 116 pounds ringside. He started as an amateur at the West Side A. c. His first professional bout was with Note Jackson. He says that Wilde gave him the hardest fight and Frankie Dodd. a preliminary boy hit him the hardest punch he ever received.

e 2 MUCH FOR the story about

~ M Dixie's death"
 There were several French sport writers and fans who refused to take seriously this report. Among these was F. Hurdman-Lucas. The idea of a former "iron-nan' like Dixie Kid being killed by two punches souned like fiction to the French critic and he investigated. And much to his surprise he found that the report was absolutely untrue.
 Like Martin Canole, the old fighter, who is now making Providence his home and who was reported as hav- ing been killed on the Coast, the Dixie Kid at the time he was supposed to have been killed" was thousands of miles away without the price of a lager on him. But now the Kid is back in Paree, but, as usual. ffnan- cially busted.

A MEXICAN boys who fought with "A the A. E. r. in France on their return to this country during June re- told the story about the sad ending of Dixie Kid. Tho report, so far as America is concerned, has never been denied until today. But what is the story and how did it all come about You ask, well, here 1t is just as 1t ap- pears in Boxing:
 Dixie Kid. Who has not heard of this once famous welterweight. He was killed in Paris last week as the result of two punches landed by an American officer. Dixie was sitting at a swagger bar near the Opera, so the story goes, when a Sam-Browned son of the IT. s. A. had something to say. The Kid put up his fists and bashed the officer on the mouth.
 ''Unaccustomed to be treated this way, especially by a negro, the assaulted officer promptly re- taliated with two wallops on the jaw and that was the end of Dixie Kids career on this earth, for ho died instantly"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-07-03

"HE TRUTH of the matter is that
 1 the smoke" who met his death at the fists of the Yank officer was no other than an American airman named Johnny Bullhard of Chicago. IL was he who assaulted the officer. The latter was placed under arrest and tried--tried for the murder of Dixie Kid" He was found guilty and punished, BUT Dixie Kid still lives.
 The fact that Dixie Kid chummed with Bob Scanlon. an American boxer now In France, who Is also personal friend of Bullhard with whom the latter was with on the night of the murder, prompted the French writers to announce the death of the vet eran welterweight.
