The Great Northern Pike.

LERES a rip roarin' fighter that
i i has gotten all the worst of the
breaks for years. Many North
ern guides scorn him completely and
he has become known as a snake"
or "slinker" in many sections.
However, dare say that even
those guides who belittle his courage
and fighting abilities have yet to
catch 7 to is pound fish without
all the scrap they wanted and thrills
and actions galore.
The true Northern pike Of cold
water is a wonderful eating fish and
a battler of consequence as well. He
is often mistaken for a pickerel and
this error in name goes against him.
In no way is the fight Of the husky
pike to be compared to that of the
comparatively lowly pickerel.
The pike Is a smashing hitter on
artificial bait. He takes 1t with
lurge and ferocity that leave no
doubt as to his spirit. I have seen
literally dozens of rods, lines, spoons
and plugs smashed to junk by the
velocity, the viciousnesS and the
utter savagery of his smashing, tear
ing strike and fight.
The pike is an "all over" fighter.
He makes hair-raiSing lungeS at
lightning speed into the depths and
churns the surface into a lather in
his frantic efforts to go free.
When f1shing with live bait, such

BOXING FANS PULL
FOR PETROLLE WIN

N YEW YORK, July 2.-UnlesS Billy
Petrolle wins from Tony Can
zoneri when they do battle for
the lightweight title in the Gar
den Bowl on August 8, the Fargo Ex-
press probably will run to the end of the
line without ever picking UP a cham
pionship.
For that reason those who are sway
ed by sentiment will root hard for
Petrolle. Not that they do not regard
CanZoneri highly, but that they would
like TO see Petrolle go into the books
as champion. He certainly is more
than many a boxer who has held a
title.
I UNFORTUNATELY for his titular as
~ pirations, Petrolle's best fighting
weight is from 140 to 142 pounds.
He is too big to be at his best as a
lightweight and too light to match the
welterweights in poundage. At that, he
would no doubt be a stronger favorite
over Jackie Fields than he figures to
be when he faces Canzoneri. 1t is
better to give away few pounds than
TO weaken yourself making an unnatural
weight
If Petrolle does pass out of the
Queensberry picture without acquiring
q title he will find himself in illustrious
company. Jimmy McLarnin, too, bids
fair TO be a member of that band of
brilliant warriors who have every quail
flcation Of a champion without ever be-
coming one. In fact, Baby Face has
whipped six or seven champions in the
last few years. either before or after
they reached the top.
MLARNIN'S Cne chance to enter the
vi charmed circle was when he faced
Sammy Mandell. then lightweight
king Jimmy weakened himself badly
I'm making the weight and was decisively
outpointed. Later. boxing at catch
weights. he easily bested Sammy.
Petrolle gave CanZoneri a bad batter
ing in Chicago just few weeks before
Tony wrested the honors from Al Singer
Now that Billy is older and heavier he
may find the weight too much Of a
handicap.
But. as remarked, there have been
other famous fighters who failed to win
titles which fell into less capable hands

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
 DEADL0CKED SHANGHAI

SHANGHAI, April 6.-Sino-Jap- anese peace negotiations are now deadlocked in the midst of con- fusion and disagreement. The Chinese delegates said that they are about ready to resign from their positions in the peace con- ference rather than to accede to the Japanese demands. They say that to give in to the Japanese would be very unpopular with the people of China.
 Added to the deadlocked situa- tion of the peace negotiations in Shanghai is the attitude of the new regime in Manchuria which announced that they would not permit any Chinese delegates to accompany the League of Nations inquiry commission on it's investi- gation trip through Manchuria.
 The conference is expected to break up entirely.

MILLION DOLLARS IN 0RE BEING BLOCKED
 OUT WILLOW CREEK

The Willow Creek Mines will en- ploy S5 men during the summer. This announcement twas made by w. E. Dunkle, M. E., Superintend- ent, on his return from trip to the States. MT. Dunkle is new pre- pairing for the spring opening
 The Willow Creek Mines are equipped with a 50-ton ball fnlll and at the end of last seasons op- erations, engineers reported the workings contained approxim&teiy $1 100000 in ores blocked out al developed ready for extraction.
 The depth of the Willow Creek Mines was pointed by the U. s. Geological Curvey after it's exam ination last summer, to set at rest the question of whether or not the ore bodies of the Willow Creek dis trict went to great depth.
 In support of their findings is the report of the late Dr. Alfred Brooks that the schists of the dis trict were persistent and that bet ter and larger ore bodies may be looked for at depth.
 Bartholf, Horning, Black and as- sociates, operating the Gold Cord, will work on a large scale during the summer, having enjoyed splen- did success in last seasons opera tions.
 Indications are that more than 200 men will be regularly employed in Willow Creek during the sum- mer, and that many more will de- velop prospects in the hope of in teresting capital.
