win in the singles. And If you
want my private opinion, neither
will. AS it lines up, Grant has a
chance. Parker almost none. The
latter is a base line player, with
out reliable forehand, and the
type simply can't get by.

so good, in fact, that he disdains

A SCENIC
AREA IN BELTS

A detailed inspection has been
made of the north and south
craters of Old Badly mountain in
the Little Belts by C.. W. Swim
of the regional office in Missoula
and Fred Kennedy of the super
visor's office in Great Falls.
Following a conference at Stanford
with Ranger S. E. Eckert, recommended
tons have been made that both craters
be set, aside n reserved as a scenic
area. Nc Improvements would be per-
mitted except trails to make the area
easier of access.
Ranger Eckert and his assistant,
Ralph Jorgenson, completed a survey
and construction work has started on
the first trail from the peak of the
mountain into the south crater. It will
be completed this fall.
Plans include a trail from the peak
into the north crater and a trail from
Dry Wolf camp into both craters. All
trails are widely separated as the en-
tire blowout covers some six to eight
miles from north to south and about
four miles from east to west at the
widest point.
The lake has been crowded with fish
ermen lately, most of whom have en-
tered the south crater from the peak.
All kinds of flys and spoons have been
tried but nc trout taken. Two trout
seen dead on the lake shore measured
"a inches and were believed to weigh
about five pounds each. No small fish
have been taken.

WILL PLACER MINE
Big HORN CANYON
OPERATIONS WILL START SOME
TIME IN SEPTEMBER, IT
is REPORTED

Placer mining operations in the
canyon of the Big Horn river are
expected to start in a month, states
John L. Harrington of Kansas City,
of the Big Horn Placer Mining
corporation, which holds extensive
gold leases in the canyon.
Colonel Harrington, who is a men,
Der Of the engineers advisory board of
the United States as well as chief
gineer for the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, said preliminary tests have
canyon holds substantial quantities Of
gold and placer mining operations will
either bear out or disprove his ap-
praisal of the properties.
There is no question but what the
canyon has substantial gold deposits"
Colonel Harrington said: How much
there is, no n can tell but the tests
I am not much of a prophet and 1t
does no pay to get too enthusiastic
but I regard the Big Horn canyon as
an excellent prospect with an excellent
chance for success. We plan to begin
placer operations at the lower end of
the channel where it is easily accessible
and the water is low. Should placer
operations uncove the gold we expect,
consideration will be given to the in
stallation of dredging equipment.
The Big Horn canyon presents a
peculiarly large and difficult field of
gold exploration and will present many
unusual problems but, if high surface
values are an indication Of what lies
beneath, it will be worth the time and
money expended. The lowest test I
have made shows IL cents a cubic yard
and this was only a sample test.
AN unusual point about the samples
thus far taken IS that they show grains
of almost pure gold, something seldom
encountered in the mining Of this prec-
iouS metal"
Colonel Harrington said that, should
the Big Horn canyon live up to expec-
tationS. the field will be capable of
production for years to come. He thinks
this part of Montana and Wyoming
have yet to realize on gold possibilities.
Colonel Harrington heads a company
that has constructed bridges in many
parts of the world. He has supervised
the bridging of the Mississippi, Ohio
and Missouri rivers several times. The
company has also built bridges in Rus
STA, Canada, Japan, Manchuria, New
Zealand and other parts of the world.

Just about that time Kid McCoy was

Just about that time Kid Mccoy was
booked for a fight in Butte. Most of
the stampeders had spent all their
money and few had made money min
ing. They all wanted to see the fight
and the exodus began. Jack charged
$3.50 each for packing valises from
Eagle City to Murray for those going
to the fight.
Jack hung IN at Eagle thinking that
when the Butte fight was over the
crowd would come back and bring some
money with them. They didn't come.
In the meantime the packing business
was slack. Jack whiled the time away
playing faro, lost all of his money, then
his pack train, and left the Couer
d'Alenes afoot with two sandwiches
and a pair Of blankets. Deacon Childs
went with him.
At Thompson Falls, they boarded
the first east bound freight, mounting
the top of a boxcar. A brakeman told
them to go to the caboose. They did
so and found 20 other men bound for
Butte. When the train stopped they
all got out and loaded wood for the
engine.
At Missoula, Jack stayed two days,
then soaked his blankets and bought
from there to Philipsburg, 80 miles.
After resting there with q friend he
walked to Anaconda. 80 miles more.
At Anaconda he borrowed $40 from
a friend. bought himself a new shirt
and a pair Of trousers and returned
to Butte-and stayed there.
During his later years Fat Jack"
switched his betting from faro to horse
races.
"You are just as sure of losing. and
they don't egg you on" he used to
say. "You lose it quicker on the horse
race, and without the painful suspense
Of q possible win"
The proudest day Of Fat Jack"
Jones' life was in August, 1897, when
he drove his hack through the streets
Of Butte with William Jennings Bryan
as q passenger.
Jack always wore a tall silk, plug
hat. Upon this occasion he wa out:
fitted as well with q long, dun colored
coachman's coat with big, black buttons,
tan colored gloves, a red silk handker-
chief in the outside pocket Of his coat,
and carried an 80 whip.
Fat Jack" Jones was q character
whom early-day visitors to Butte never
forgot. He died there q number Of
years ago.

from Zaragoza and Soria, tried to

REPORT OF F|R|NG|
BYPANAYCHANCED|
Japanese General Finds
American Gunboat Did Not
Cannonade Troops.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Dec. 21.-Maj. Gen.
Kumakichi Harada announced today
that further investigation showed the
sinking United States gunboat Panay
had not fired its cannon at Japanese
troops as his report had stated yes
terday.
The military attache added, how
ever, that the additional study had
not changed his denial that the
japanese Army boats had machine
gunned the vessel, despite American
official reports to the contrary
Investigation by 1t Col Yoshiaki
NlShl, war ministry staff officer, was
the basis for the new statement on
the bombing of the Panay and three
Standard Oil Co. boats on the Yangtze
River above Marking December IL.
Report Held in Error.
Nishi explained at a press confer
ence that the commander of a small
japanese Army unit had heard sounds
of shelling, but that the officer of
larger unit on the scene of the
bombing considered that report in
error, since no shells had exploded
nearby.
After a detailed explanation, the
officers insisted that no shots had
been fired on the Panay by army
units. They added, however, that
japanese boats had machine -gunned
Chinese launches attempting to flee
from the vicinity, one of which, the
Lidah, repeatedly was captured and
taken to Marking.
They emphasized that the chief rea-
son japanese machine-gunning of the
Panay or fleeing survivors was i'm
possible and inconceivable" was that
japanese had no enmity toward
Americans. They said Japanese troops
on the scene had treated the wounded
ana attempted to prevent further
bombing of one of the vessels by wav-
ing japanese flags from its deck.
The American wounded, they said
had been so grateful that they gave
japanese soldiers oranges, candy and
cigarettes.
Plans to Fly to Toxic.
At the END of the press conference
Nlshi disclosed that he was flying to
Toxic, presumably to make a de-
tailed report of his Investigations to
the war office.
. Harada announced that he had been
instructed by Toxic to suspend his
statement on investigation of Japanese
shelling of the British gunboat Lady,
bird pending conclusion of negotia-
tions between the japanese and Brit
1Sh governments.
He said it has been established def
nltely that Col. Kingoro Hashimoto.
