Greedy, Not "Goofy"

"NI'C0Y proved to me that he was
1F1 goofy when he offered to fight me
for my title" testifies Mr.. Dempsey, in
that trial at Los Angeles.
By the same token, there are. probably,
about million other "goofies," and their
''goofiness' may indicate greed rather
than insanity. Mr. Dempsey overlooks the
fact that the small end of a purse in a
battle with Mr.. Dempsey is lovely tempta-
ton, irresistible notwithstanding that a
certain beating goes with it.

a tremendous hydro-eleetric
development project, financed
by San Francisco capital. is
about TO be started In Western
Mexico on the coast. The project
centers in Sinaloa and Durango
in the Sierra Madre mountains.
and will be tho biggest electrical
development in the Southwest
The Harvesting OF the Rio
Verde and Piextla rivers and
the creation OF upwards Of ZOO
600 horsepower OF electricity to

one phase OF the project. With
II goes the modernizatlon OF
mining properties. including the
great San Dimas mines. some
so miles south OF Mazatlan.
Tho San Dimas mines have
been producing silver for years.
Under the Mexican owners and
later under ex-senator Dan
Burns. many millions OF dollars
worth of high grade silver has
been taken out. Col. Burns,
now 81. was made into a multi
millionaire by these properties,
then worked by natives in the
most primitive fashion. This
property includes more than n
quarter of million acres. and
some 40 large and small mines.
With electricity these mines will
be put on high production

In addition 10 the development
OF mine machinery the electric
output Of the power plants will
