| & Development Company holdings at
the present time are the most impor-
tant as there has been sufficient de-
velopment to warrant a milling plant.
This is gold proposition, as assays
taken from many of the openings
have proven the values to be mainly
in gold. The mill being erected is for
free gold treatment. This company
has recently acquired the old Sand
Springs property and also the Henry
Knight ground. The company has
leased the Brock station property
and will make its main station at
this point, which is on the Lincoln
highway.
During the week E. w. Dawes of
the Chalk Mountain silver-lead prop
erty returned to this city and intends
TO resume operations on that very
promising piece of ground. This is
one of the few mining claims that
has been shipper recently as sew
eral car loads of excellent ore left
here during the year for the smelters.
There Is reason to believe that this
property will continue to be in the
shipping class for some time to come
Another property under develop
ment in the Chalk Mountain section
is being operated by Sam Fix and A.
c. Bower. This property has been
owned since 1907 but no real de-
yelopment program has been carried
out. The company last week held a
meeting of the stockholders and
elected the following directors:
Attorney Eli Cam, Samuel Fix,
Mrs. e. j. Lyons, A. H. Meseke and
A. C. Bower. The board of directors
elected the following officers: Eli
Cam, president; Mrs E. J. Lyons,
vice president; A. c. Bower, secrs-
tary-treasurer; Samuel Fix, general
manager.
The Nevada Mogul was discovered
during the big Wonder boom in 1907
and Mr. Bower became interested In
1t the following year, though he did
not get control until about 1915.
Since that time he has been giving
personal attention to the annual
work as well as development of the
property. The surface showing and
lodges near the surface gave assays
running around 800 and 400 ounces
in silver with some gold. Assays oil
s175 per ton ON the ledge are COM
mon, but the ledge faulted and some
years ago they started a tunnel to
cross cut the ledge. This tunnel has
been driven over 500 feet and now
they expect to cut the ledge any time
at a depth of about 200 feet Mr..
Bower says he expects the ledge
when encountered will be large and
very rich. Every thing points to this
result. The tunnel is at present in
hard rock and it is slow going, but
they have faith that the years of
gradual development on this property
will bring the reward when the ledge
is finally cut.

BUFF To MEET
WINNER Of
CONTEST
Former Champion Agrees To
Tackle Bobby Burke or
Young Dencio

Matchmaker Sam Beard, of the
Kenilworth arena, today received
wire from Lew Diamond, manager
Of Johnny Buff, that he has accept.
ed terms to meet the winner of the
young Denico-Bobby Burke, fifteen.
round battle at the Franklin sta.
dunn next Monday night. The for.
mer flyweight and bantamweight
champion of the world has recently
run up string of successive vic.
tories, including a victory over
frankie Ash, England's new mighty
atom, who is matched with Pancho
Villa for the worlds championship
f., 1t will be BuffIN first appearance
In the section Of the nations Capital.
and 1t is an assured fact that the
fans will realize sizzling collision
Is in store, with Dencio or Burke
furnishing the opposition.
In the Dencio.Burke encounter il
appears that the Franklin stadium
management has secured an attrac.
ton that should pack the Enclosure
to its spacious capacity. Both Den.
clio and Burke personify confidence.
The decision over Dencio gained by
Burke two weeks ago in their tor.
rid twelve-rounder has only spur.
red the little brown-skinned warrior
on to greater efforts. .Dencio will
not only enter the ring with his
proverbial ''nlillion-dollar" smile, but
VIII also carry a million punches
along.
Burke is not saying much. but
he is leaving no stone unturned
He will be in the pink of condition
and hopes to knock out Dencio
But whether the extra three rounds
scheduled this time will work in
his favor remains to be seen. Burke
has fought but few fifteen-round
bouts, whereas while in the Navy
Dencio fought quite a few. In
the last encounter .Dencio finished
much the fresher. On paper it
looks as though the little Filipino
mas made a good baNgain.
In the semi-windup of six rounds
NICK Brown, the Baltimore bantam
sensation, faces frankie Mann's fis-
tic ace, Jack Cafoni, of Walter
Reed Hospital. Brown has beaten
both Jimmy Conway and Reddy
Tender in the past two weeks.
To beat Brown would be a big
leather in Cafoni's cap.
The rest of the preliminary card
Is being made up by frankie Mann.
