 The Spider

Following is the third install- ment of Clothier's report on the Salmon river mining district:
 SPIDER GROUP. This group is under bond to the Algunican Development Company, Limited, of Belgium, under the local man. agemsnt of w. E. Melochs. A lot of work has been done at the mine under the supervision of John Hoveland. Supplies am- bunting to loo tons were taken into the property from the beach, \ distance of about 20 miles, last spring over the snow, with horses equipped with snowshoes. Camps were built, a compressor taken in and installed, and min
 
 ing work started early in May.
 Surface showings indicate four or five separate quartz veins lying in an augite-porphyry rock formation. The North or No. 1 vein is probably the main and oldest Assure, as the othere are seen to converge toward 1t and the No. 8 vein to cut through it. The main vein strikes s. 55 de- grees E, and dips so degrees to the east; the other veins roughly parallel each other and, as stat ed, run into the main vein. No s vein, upon which the tunnel had been driven $50 feet (Octo- Der 1st), strikes s. 68 degrees E and dips from 65 degrees to 75 degrees to the west, or away from the main Assure, and lies between the No. l and No. a veins.
 Surface work consists of an open cut along No. 3 vein for s length of 50 feet, showing up tc IS inches in width of ore assay ing up fo 300 and 400 oz. of silver a ton. A crosscut will be TUT from the tunnel 8 distance of 13t feet to cut the No. 3 vein undel this high-grade surface showing. obtaining a depth of approxi mately 150 feet. Four ore-shoots have been drifted through ir driving the tunnel, showing them to be short lenzes up to 5( feet in length. About 700 feet of diamond-drilling was done from the surface to prove the continuity of the veins at depth. and the work has proven very satisfactory.

KETGHEL'S FIGHT WITH THOMAS CALLED
THE GREATEST RING BATTLE I'M HISTORY

clear when he arose and he stood
Ketchel off.
1.-THE fight went on round after
round with Ketchel crowding Thomas
about the ring aud Joe pumping il
his clean, snappy punches on his
charging opponent. The pair were in
wonderful trim and kept fighting al
a lightning clip. Thomas was a bet.
ter ring general and he foxily was
saving something while Ketchel kept
fighting like a wildcat all the time,
From bell to bell and round to round
the boys kept at it while we all mar
veled at their stamina, endurance and
courage.
ut was an even thing and at rs
rounds l kept asking myself, Who is
winning this fight anyway Ketch-
els bulldog aggressiveness was coun-
ter-balanced by Thomas science and
cleverness. Each landed hard and
often. Each frequently was stagger-
ed and Jared, but they refused to
flop.
GAS Ketchel came charging at him
in the twenty-ninth, Thomas set him
self and put all his weight behind a
right-hand smash, flush to the jaw.
1t knocked Stanley flat. 1t looked all
over. At seven, however, Ketchel
crawled up on one knee and tottered
to his feet just before the timekeep-
erin bouts on the coast in those
days the timekeeper, not the referee,
did the counting-reached ten. Ket-
chel pulled himself together and
stood toe to toe smuggling with Tho
mas during the remainder of the
round.
Thomas at that stage appeared
to be the winner. He had been saw
ing himself a little and not wasting
his blows like Ketchel. But Joe
lost confidence when he saw Stanley
get up and mix it with him after Joe
had apparently knocked him cold.
"Joe continued to slightly out
point Ketchel in the thirtieth and the
thirty-first rounds, but Joe vas all
in and sticking only on his nerve and
ring generalship. Ketchel kept
crowding in with apparently undim-
inished vigor. l remember leaning
over the ropes in between rounds and
remarking to a ringside friend: This
fellow Ketchel isn't a man. He's a
fighting devil!'
Early in the t~hirty-second round
Ketchel, still tearing in like a cyclone
and blazing away with both hands,
hooked a terrific left to the stom-
ach and landed on the jaw with a
curling right hand swing. The twin
punches sent Thomas Keeling to the
ropes, where he hung suspended,
limp as a rag, mouth open, eyes
glazed and dead to the world.
Thomas seconds saw Joe's condi-
ton and into the ring came the saw
ing towel. 1t only stopped the for
of the count, for Thomas was
out on his feet and a hundred could
been counted over him. Foley
jumped into the ring and carried
Thomas to his corner.
Never in my ring experience had
seen two men go at such a terrific
clip over as long a distance, and
never before or since have I seen a
man able to hit as hard a blow as
the two Ketchel landed after thirty
two rounds of cyclonic milling. Ket-
chel carried his punch longer than
any man that ever breathed.
"'He's the next middleweight
of the world l remarked
10 Coffroth after the fight. There's
middleweight living who can beat

gresham Mccormick made a brief
talk.
ut is to be remembered" he said,
that we were elected on a program
of two schemes of government and
not much politics. 1t behooves all
of us, not being able to dodge any
responsibility, to so conduct ourselves
that we may not be ashamed. If you
will permit me, l will give a word
of caution.
LET us preserve those rights we
have, rather than try to take any
away from others, and let us exercise
caution in all of our doings."
Mccormick then turned to the hu-
morous side, for which he was known
in the house two years ago, as well
as upon his ability as an orator and
a constructive statesman.
81 expect that I shall have some
patronage. AS yet l have received no

going after federal jobs, that l hope
they will try for the larger ones and
will go after them hard"

committee on arrangements. I ask
ed Riley if he had any local boxers
whom he could use in the prelimin-
aries.
1.-THE only fighter we have around
here answered Riley, is that waiter
tow-headed, blue-eyed Polack with
the divil in his eye
"I turned and gave the once over
to the fellow Riley pointed out. In
his walters garb he looked compare
lively slender and none too well set
up. I put him down at 1875 to 140
pounds. He wore a half grin on his
face and, as Riley said, the boy had
the very divil' in his eye and a
square, determined set to his jaw.
"sHis name is Stanislaus Kiescal,'
went on Riley, but he's known
around these diggings as Stanley
Ketchel. He's fought quite a bit in
the last two years as he bummed and
hoboed about the west. The Polack
isn't much. He knows too little. But
the lad certainly loves to fight. He
Just eats it up. l don't think we had
better use him on the New Years
card, however. We want men with
more of a real ring reputation, even
for the preliminaries.'
81 certainly never dreamed that
Polack waiter Riley pointed out to
me in the Miners Rest in Tonopah
ever would become middleweight
champion and one of the greatest
fiUbtorc in ripo history
"Well, the next time 1 saw Ketchel
was a few months later, when he
blew into San Francisco looking for
a fight. He came to my office and
asked if l could put him on. I told
him l couldn't use him just then but
would take his name and address
and would send for him if anything
turned up.
"'Home is where I a hang up my
hat these days answered Ketchel.
There amt much chance for the
dust settlin' on me, for I'm travelin'

CHOOSE BOOKS FOR
MONTANA SCHOOLS.
STATE TEXTBOOK COMMISSION
ADOPTS VOLUMES FOR HIS
TORY AND CIVICS

Grades.

After a three days session, the
Montana Textbook commission las
week adopted basal and supplement
tary text books in history and civics

a period of six years, beginning next
September. School districts, how
ever, will have a year in which to
make the change. Under the pro-
visions of the law, the commission
had the authority at this time to
change the texts used in teaching
three subjects, but because of exist
ing conditions in the state it was
deemed better to make changes only
in those subjects where the present
text books we're considered obsolete.
In history, for instance, there has
been no change in the basal texts
for 16 years.
Allowing one text book to each
child, for the seventh and eighth
grades, a total of 1852 books of
each text will be required; for the
sixth grade 11,737 books of each text
and for the fourth and fifth grades
in Montana 24,995 books of each
text.

would guarantee him 10 per cent
more on the side in private.
"'IH give you boys so per cent of
the house, 1 remarked to Ketchel as
we gathered around the desk.
"'Suits me- he laconically replied.
81 asked the boys how they wanted
the purse split, and Thomas said he
preferred seventy-five and twenty
five.
What weight?' 1 asked, and
Thomas, again taking the initiative,
said $50 pounds at 10 a. m. You
know the bout was to take place at 8
in the afternoon.
That's O. k chirped Ketchel.
81 mentioned the boys would have
to put up $3.50 for weight forfeit and
$3.50 for appearance. Dig up, O'Con-
nor said Ketchel, and his manager
pulled out a bag and counted out the
sum in twenty-five gold pieces. In
the meantime Jimmy Coffroth had
been writing the articles of agree
ment. He handed Ketchel and O'Con-
nor a copy. O'Connor looked over
it and said:
"'Hold ont This says the men
must weigh $50 at ten o'clock. Now
that don't stop my man weighing
less than $50 pounds, does it? He
weighs las right now and I'm not
saying I can put five pounds on him
in the twelve days before the fight
ST only mention that to show how
little the man whom Ketchel picked
to manage him knew about boxing.
after the men weighed in IN the
morning of the day, Ketchel took
back his $3.50 weight forfeit and
went around to Tom Corbett's pool
room and bet it on himself at odds
of 2 to 1, with Thomas favorite. Then
he went back to Coffroth and asked
him what he thought the gate would
be. Coffroth told him not less than
$4,000.
"'Well,' replied Ketchel, there's
nothing stopping you giving me what
you would consider the losers end
now. 1 want to go out and bet it,
"Coffroth advanced Stanley as
much as he could, and Ketchel went
back to Corbett's and placed it on
himself. He told all hands that
there wasn't any man near his weight
in the world whom he couldn't stop
in forty-five rounds.

Will Not Celebrate Armistice
Day But Will Give Annual
Dance Instead. Endorse
Fits for National Com
mander

At the regular meeting Of the Boyce
Aten post of the American Legion last
evening, the program of it's winter ac-
tivities were discussed.
D. r. Alderman was appointed
chairman of committee to select men
for the firing squad which will fire the
regular army salute at the burial of
Boyce Aten next month. Arrange
ments were also made for securing the
arms and ammunition to be used at
that time.
A communication from the Los An
geles Post of the American Legion,
requesting that the Boyce Aten Post
favor proposition for the election of
Buron H. Fits for National Comman-
der of the American Legion was re-
fered to the resolution Committee.
The consensus Of opinion endorsed the
proposition.
| A call was issued for a meeting of
the County Central Committee in the
near future at which time permanent
officers of the organization will be
elected.
1t was also decided that there would
be no Armistice Day Celebration un-
der the auspices of the Boyce Aten
Post this year, due to the fact that
Third Annual Armistice Day Dance
will be given at that time. The men,
bers felt that any other features OF
celebration for Armistice day would
really be more than the Post could
successfully handle.
The entertainment committee re-
ported that plans were well under way
for the Legion show this winter and
that their committee proposed to Of
fer cooperation to other FL Centre or
ganizations who contemplate staging
home talent plays during the winter
months. This idea, however, is depen-
dant upon mutual cooperation between
the various organizations concerned.
A membership drive will be started
the first of January, when it is eX-
pected that the roster will be consid-
erably increased.
The meeting endorsed the plan for
an Ell Centre fair, and have offered
their services gratis to the committee
in charge for whate1er purpose de-
sired.
