ST. LOUIS EARNED IT.

The awarding of the national anna
teur golf championship to St. Louis
is the farthest West the golf classic
has ever gone. Yet it is only due
recognition of great strides the
ancient Scotch game has made il
that section of the country. St
Louis, with it's interclub and public
links competitions, has made &
special appeal to youngsters. The
development of youthful talent is a
wise step in any sport, and the st
Louis district is cramming a sur,
prisingly large number of entrant:
into the major golf tournaments.
Harry Vardon, after his recent
tour of the United States, said that
the Middle West would be the Scot
land of America as far as golf is
concerned. The Briton said he was
amazed at the games growth in the
Middle States, and that the natives
took the game more seriously than
folks in the East.

GOT To DRAW A LINE SOME
WHERE.

= New York's boxing commission
bars the use of a rubber mouth
piece. This action came as an after
math of the recent Britton- LIE wis
bout in Madison Square Garden that
nearly ended in battle royal when
the welter-weight champion invaded
his opponents corner after the sec
ond round and objected so siren
uously against Lewis mouthpiece
that grand little uprising took
place before the trouble was quelled.
The commissioners barred the
mouthpiece fearing that boxers
might go too far in protective styles
and revive old suits of armor.

The Three Musketeers.

The late army's chance to lift
the blanket from a heavyweight
champion has depended upon three
men-Bob Martin, Gene Tunney and
Capt. Roper Without any sensa-
tional dash they have all been pro-
crossing nicely, taking their time
on the upward hike.
Quite lately both Martin and
Roper have done extremely well
with an improved display over
their past wares. 1t may be that
none of the three will ever get
good enough to land a remem-
brance on Dempsey's chin, but with
three Of them marching abreast
still young and still advancing one
can never tell.
Martin will put his wares upon
display again quite shortly in the
hardest test he has yet lsown. The
other two will pop out presently.
By the time Dempsey concludes
with Carpenter and willard one of
the trio may have moved far
enough along to open up negotia-
tions, but all three have been
smart enough not to crowd the
situation.
The First Assault.
We are supposed to do a lot OF
European invading later on in the
late fringe of spring and the early
sectors of summer, but in the mean
while the first skirmish has been
led by the invading party with
Horemans and Guillemot in the van.
There are many experts who don't
believe Willie Hoppe can stop
Horemans and there are still more
who don't believe we have anyone
to check Guillemot in the distance
run. The French flyer has more
feet than centipede when IL
comes to covering yards or meters
and he has come far enough to de-
serve something more than another
mans dust.
We ran across "Stuffy" McInnis
the other day. II "Stuffy' is a day
older than 2l no one could tell it
Clear skin, not a gray hair, nothing
to show that he had been in the

"Stufy" broke through in 1908

he had. If he can only act as young
as he looks he will be in the bis

he is still one of the best.

Any talk of the early resumption of copper production is rather pre- mature at this time, according to w. F. Staunton, Los Angeles min ing engineer and financier, who is interested in the Verde Central mine adjoining Jerome. Reports received here Saturday to the effect that a large purchase of American copper by Germany had about depleted the American reserve stocks of the vel low metal are without proper foun- dation, Staunton believes. While he was not prepared to give any definite estimate of the size of the American copper surplus, for the simple reason that no one knows what 1t is, he be- lieved it to be in the neighborhood of eight or nine hundred million pounds.
 Under the present conditions, any attempt to produce copper at mar ket price of 12 cents would result in

 Over half of the earthwork is com pleted. Just now, teams are scoring the ridge for the concrete core that will extend for 2,250 feet along the center of the earthen portion of the dam. Plans are being made for in stalling a steam shovel on the ridge in order to expedite the filling when the core is completed.
 The dam is now visible from the
Weekly journal-miner., 1921-09-21

top of the ridge south of the Sulli- van home ranch. It shows up as a long scar across the landscape, show ing where Caldwells crew has piled the old fresnos for the past three months. Below the dam is small colony very comfortably established in tent houses. Everything is com plete, even to a pen with six pigs and an old-fashioned cistern where the butter is kept cool by evapora- ton.
 A job of scraper work has put the roads into the damsite from both the Williamson valley and Ash Fork roads in good shape. In fact these roads are better than the main travel ed highways, for the rains did things to the Ash Fork road that the county has not had time yet to repair.
 An earthen dam containing 1000 yards of material, has been erected about five miles below the main dam site, and this will impound a lot of water for temporary use. A large tract of the excellent level land will be plowed this fall by the contractor and planted to potatoes in the spring.

REWARD OUT IN
 SLAYER SEARCH

Melvin w. (Bugs) Burnett, who for the past week has been the ob- ject of a search through the hilly country near Congress Junction by men from the sheriff's office here. for the shooting and killing of Jim Brown at Congress Junction, will be caught if the efforts of the county are successful.
 A reward of $25O for the capture of Burnett was authorized yesterday by the board of supervisors, and notices offering the reward and con taining description of Burnett will be scattered over the country be- tween here and Mexico. Efforts of the sheriffs men have thus far proved fruit1ess. It is believed that Burnett is in hiding in the hills. awaiting his chance to dash across the border.
