In their previous bout last fail McLarnin received the worst beating of his career and narrowly escaped a knockout.

Tell Solicitors To
Get A Letter From
Chamber Commerce

1t has been brought to the at
tention Of the Nogales Chamber OF
Commerce that in recent weeks sey-
c~al people have been soliciting the
business men Of this city apparent
ly with the idea OF raising money
for worthwhile organizations car
ing for the blind and deaf and other
such charitable enterprises.
During the last two years it has
been the endeavor of the Nogales
Chamber Of Commerce to discour-
age such solicitation and we have
requested that the people of NO
gales require solicitors to present
a letter OF endorsement from the
chamber Of commerce.
In two years great number Of
such apparently worthwhile or
ganizatiors have been investigated
and in no case has the worth Or
need Of same been found and in no
case has the chamber of commerce
issued a letter to these parties en-
dorsing their proposition.
The chamber of commerce once
mere asks that the people of this
community cooperate with them in
this work and in that way the in
dividuals will save themselves con-
siderable money and at the same
time keep these itinerate solicitors
away from our city, and have that
money diverted to the proper char
table institutions in our community.

Ore From Scene
OF Strike Shows
Sl49,6S5 Assay
Nose Hendricks OF This
City Interested
In Mine
VEIN 40 FEET WIDE

Miners from all parts of the west
coast OF Mexico and many from
points in the United States are
flccking to the Tambor mountains,
48 miles south of Cosala, Sinaloa,
as result of a big gold strike at
1.-The Provedencia" mine.
The strike is of particular in
terest in Nogales inasmuch as the
owner of the mine, S. A. Navarro,
is well known in this city and is
here at the present time. Navarro,
better known to his many friends
.as Joe, has resided along the
American Mexican border between
Tombstone and Nogales for years.
Nose Hendricks of Nogales and
other local and out of town parties,
are financing the mine, which, ac-
;cording to word received from the
south, is the scene of one OF the,
greatest gold strikes made in many
years.
An ore sample, brought to No
gales from the Provedencia, assayed
$149, 9,685 ton. The assay was made
by Assayer Hugo w. MILLER of Mo-
aales and the sample used came
from the vein, or in other words,
the mother lode. The mother lode
is 30 feet wide, according to Naxa-
rro.
Ground in the vicinity of the
rich strike has been Staked cut for
20 square miles. One announcement
was made by a man named Manuel
Llantada who took up $4,000 ger
tencians inches in one claim.
