JAPANESE LECTURER
Substituted On Chautauqua.,
Here Last Monday.


ese graduate Of Harvard universi.
tv, who was assigned in place of
Woon Yung Chun, the Chinese,
for the second night OF the Ellison.
White chautauqua festival in
Rathdrum, lectured at the com.
munity Methodist church Monday
night. Mr.. Chun's subject was
to have been "Japanese Penetra-
tion." DR.. Minokitu talked on
Japanese history and national as
pIrations.
He dwelt to some extent on
Japanese history, telling of the
three wars in which Japan was
victorious. These were the wars
of I8o4-5 with China over the
Corean question; Of Ioo4-5 with
Russia for the control of Corea
and Manchuria, and of 1914 with
Germany for the concessions in
Shantung province, China. He
pointed out that before apan
opened her doors to the world in
1868, England, France and Germany
had acquired spheres of influence
in China vastly greater than the
24o, 900 square miles now control
led in that country by Japan.
While he said he did not maintain
that any nation was right in taking
Chinese territory, he contended
that Japan, because OF her close
proximity, has a better right to
territorial acquisition in that part
Of the world than any European
nation, as her own national saliva,
ton is at stake.
The speaker decried what he
called the unreliable reports IN
lingo newspapers to the effect that
Japan wished to own the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands, saying
the Japanese being temperate
zone people could not thrive in
the tropics. He denounced most
emphatically talk of war between
Japan and America, and quoted
figures to show that Japan is in no
position to go to war; being bur
dened with an enormous debt
which requires tax rate of IS per
cent. He said Japan has only one
half as many people as the United
States, her navy is only one-third
as large and the military spirit
among the Japanese people is
dying out. Peace and trade rela-
tions with America are essential to
japanese prosperity he said. he
also quoted facts and figures show
ing that the Japanese islands
contain 1000 less square miles than
our state of California; hence the
need of Japanese people to
emigrate.
DR.. Minokitu did not go into a
discussion of the Japanese problem
in California, contenting himself
with extolling the virtues OF the
Japanese now in that state, as law
abiding and industrious people.
He said this question is domestic
one for this nation to decide.
However, he proceeded at some
length to PROFOUND the doctrine ol
international brotherhood, the
breaking down of race prejudlces
aud the joining and interminghnR
of all the peoples in one great
world family. He argued thai
there were, as illustrated by the
United States and Canada, but two
essential factors for perpetual har
monious relations between coun
uies-one faith and one language

was reached and drifting was done. In 1913 the mine was also a large pro- ducer, employing a large number of men. Six stamps of the mill were op- erated. The underground develop ment reached about 5000 feet, of which over 900 feet was on the 500- foot level Development wor was continued on this level until it was stopped by an influx of the sea. The pumps were then pulled, although the vein was. very rich, and the water was allowed to rise to within a few feet of the 3OOfoot level.
 The plant at this time included a crusher, six stamps, three tables, boilers, air compressors, drills and hoists. In the latter part of 1914 all work ceased and the property was re- turned to the original owner. The water then stood at the 20O-foot level. Owing to high prices for supplies and continued litigation by parties claim ing an interest in the mine, all work was suspended, and MT. Ellis carried the case into the courts, where he was awarded a verdict. The circuit court of appeals also affirmed the yer dict of the lower court. Discouraged by the case being carried to the su- preme court, MT. Ellis went Outside and has since been attempting to sell the mine, his attempts being blocked by the litigation.
 It is apparent that the parties to the suit have reached an agreement and that MT. Ellis has disposed of the property. That Valdez will be bene- fited unmeasurably can not be doubt ed when one considers the proximity of the mine to the town and the large number of men employed.
 The ore from the Cliff mine is very rich, of a bluish white quartz, with minor amounts of calcite, albite, chlo- rite and a brownish weathering car bonate. The metallic minerals in the ore include gold, arsenopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite and galena. The sulphides are fine and do not appear abundant, but milling operations show from to per cent sulphides. The ore is free milling. Gold is found on all the levels and is a primary constituent of the ore, occurring native in the quartz in association with the above sulphides.

FAM0USCLIFF QUARTZ MINE
 ISPURCHASED

The famous Cliff mine, situated at Port Valdez, has been sold to F. G. Midgett and associates, and the new owner will be up on one of the next boats to look over the property with a view of starting to work in the near future The consideration is said to have been $15O,OOO, which is far below the actual worth of the property which is highly equipped with mod ern machinerey and was heavy pro- ducer up to the time it was closed down on account of high prices shortly before the war.
 The mine lies at sea level on the north side of Port Valdez, east of Shoup bay. A long wharf reaches out into the bay, with water at the head deep enough for ocean steamships.
 The Mystic No. claim, upon which most of the development work has been done, was located by H. B. Ellis, August 15, 1906 In ugust, 1909, it was leased to the Cliff Mining Con- pany. The property has been sys- tematically developed since that time. In the spring of 1910 three-stamp mill was installed and the mine be- came the first gold producer of the district. In August, 1910, the under ground development consisted of two adits at vertical depth of 54 feet, connected by raises, and one inter- mediate drift The lower adit was about 200 feet long. There was a short prospect tunnel about 200 feet above the beach.
 In 1911 the mill burned, but new and larger mill was erected and in op- eration before the end of the year. Meantime mining operations were con- ainued and the. ore was shipped to Tacoma. The mine workers had reached a depth of 100 feet below sea level and extended for 500 feet along the vein In 1912 the 500-foot level, about 300 feet below sea level,

MOST ACTIVE BOXER OF ALL
E ng ag d in Twenty-Five
Bouts---Received an Aver
age of $4,000 for Every
Time He Entered Ring

New York, Jan. 1.-Two hundred
thousand dollars.
It's a lot of money even in ko-
peks. With dollars as elusive as they
are it is hard to conceive of man
catching that many in the course of
twelve months, especially when the
man wears boxing gloves. Yet that
is the approximate amount that Ben
ny Leonard, the lightweight cham
pion, raked in during 1919.
Leonard was the most active of
all the boxers, large or small, in this
fertile land. He piled his trade with
diligence and vigor never before
displayed by champion in any class.
He realized that the reign of cham
pion is not long at most, and that a
title holder has to "get it while the
getting is good"
Averaged So, 200 for Each Bout.
Leonard engaged in twenty-five
bouts during the year, an average of
bout almost every two weeks. This
is exclusive of the several benefit
bouts he boxed. According to his
manager, Billy Gibson, the total gate
receipts for these bouts amounted
to approximately 100000. If Leon
ard drew down 100000 as his share
then he averaged about 40 per cent
of the gate receipts in each bout in
which he took part. To attract total
of 0,000 the gate receipts for each
bout averaged $4,000, and Leonard
received an average of $4,000 for
every time he entered the ring to
do battle.
IN eight of Leonard's principal
bouts the gates totaled S201 500, an
average of $25, 1880 per bout. The
remaining sixteen bouts drew $685.
500, an average o. $17,559. His

AID. ANDERSON WAS
NOT READY

Patrolman Sidney A. Williams, of
the Cottage Grove Police Station,
went to trial before the City Service
Commission. Williams is charged
with placing R. M. Pettus head of the
Lion Tailoring Company, 2939 So.
State street, under fake arrest. The
arrest was made to aid two notorious
crooks (Willam Holdman and VIM.
Drice, alias Hoplong). Pettus charged
that Holdman and Drice attempted
a confidence game on him, and that
they succeeded in picking his pocket
of $4,000. Holdman and Drice are
held to the grand jury under bond
of $1,000 each. Patrolman Williams
was to be tried before the Commission
on December the 30th and all wit
nesses were present at the trial,
Alderman Louis B. Anderson of the
second ward appeared in behalf of
Williams and succeeded in getting
a continuance of the case, and for
some unknown reason Alderman An
derson failed to appear at the second
trial Alderman Williams confessed
before the Commission That Holdman
and Drice were responsible for him
placing Pettus under arrest. Williams
also confessed that he left his post
(35 and State) and went to 29th and
State and placed Pettus under arrest
on charges made by the two con-
fidence men, but could not explain
whay he told Pettus that he had
orders from the station to bring him
in. Williams stated that as he had
been in service only six months, that
he was trying to make a reputation.

in Tennessee, the fame and reputa-
ton of Belle Meade is sleeping with
him.
But that the partnership has been
profitable and that Croker absorbed
considerable turf knowledge thru his
relationship to Gen. Harding was
proved just twenty years after my
visit to Belle Meade, when Mr.. Croker
created a sensation in the turf world
by winning the English Derby with
his good colt Orby, and with the Anne
rican jockey, Johnny Beiff, in the
saddle.
But soon after that Gen. Harding
and all the greatness of Belle Meade
passed away. SO that now his old and

But what | have written this story
for more than anything else is to call
attention to the sort of men who pat
ronized the American race course in
the olden, golden days.
At that Cote Brilliante meeting in
1877 Gen. Grant, then President of
the United States, sat in the judges
stand, acted as presiding judge and
named the winners.
Racing on the track before him
were thorobred horses like Goodnight,
Luke Blackburn, McWhirter and
others owned by confederate generals
like Jackson and Harding, who had
fought against the Grant forces in
the civil war, but who were now will
ling to take his best judgment on a
horse race.
Ten years later on my trip to Belle
Meade two persons described by my
driver as president Cleveland and
his lubly young wife" had been WISH
tors at the great farm, and had pat
ted the great thorobreds on the nose
and caressed their silken coats. L
indeed, if those great days
on the American race course and
American breeding farms will ever

STIGALLK. 0'S. WILLIAMS In
BIG CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT

Brunswick, Ca, Jan. Arthur
Stigall of Cumberland, Nd, light
weight champion of the world, still
holds the title after a bout with Bar
bershop Williams of Savannah, Ca,
lightweight champion of the South,
last week.
He knocked Williams out in the
early part of the fifth round, but it
was seen from the beginning that
Stigall had Williams clearly out
elassed. Stigall announces that he
could have knocked Williams out at
my stage of the battle, but wanted
the fight to go at least five of the
scheduled Is rounds.
Stigall is one of the cleverest box
ers ever seen in local ring. His
footwork was of very high caliber,
and he seemed to be able to hit
equally hard with either hand. At the
lime Stigall delivered the Knockout
)low, it is also alleged that he ac-
sdentally fouled Williams, but the
referee gave the decision to Stigall.
