THE PUGILIST OF THE TWE CENTURY
(By Jomes WaUeley.)
People come to me and ask me who
will win this fight and that light, and
whom I am backing for this and that
match, and I tell them the best and
truest I know. But when it comes to
naming the next champion pugilist, 1
hesitate,
yitsslmmona will hold his own for ai
tong time to come.
I say this unhesitatingly, although un- j
willingly. In the Carson City fight I
backed Corbett nnd lost $7000 on him as
a result. Until the eighth round of thai
memorable battle I would have doubled
my stakes, nnd in the Sixth round I
would have placed my life along with
the stnkes. Hut after the battle was
over 1 saw that Fltssimmons was tin
best man. It was riot a chance punch—
that solar-plexus blow—but a scientific
blow well delivered from the strongest
right arm in the pugilistic world.
Fltzslmmons will hold his own for an
other year to come.
But beyond that year—at the dawning
of the twentieth century—there is an
other pugilist to enter the world.
And that is ••Kid" McCoy.
"Kid" McCoy is as yet only, as his
nickname Indicates, a "kid," He is un
developed In body and muscle, in tissue
and In strength. He needs to grow—to
grow older as well as stronger.
"Kid" McCoy Is today the finest pu
gilist in the ring. He is the most skill
ful side-stepper, the le st general, the
gamiest sport and the best trained of
fighters When he enters the ring he is
cool and calm, and throughout the fight
he maintains this same steadiness of
nerve. He tights like Choynski, with the
head ot one side and the eyes slanting.
This gives a fighter a long-distance view
of his antagonist and enables him to
take in the entire body of his opponent
above the belt.
When a lighter stands erect und looks
nt his man straight ahead of the body,
he can only see the face, or if ho looks I
downward he can only look at one part
of the body at a time. The fighter who
fights with his head on one side gets an j
elongated vision that is very advan
tageous.
Another advantage ot this position,
and a very great one, is the sway it
gives the pugilist. He can avoid blows
and at the same time maintain his bal
ance and be ready to deliver a blow after
his opponent has unsuccessfully tried to
get at him.
"Kid" McCoy is a gentleman, us much
so as ever "Gentleman Jim" was. 1 like
and admire Corbett, and I like and ad
mire McCoy.
"Kid" McCoy bega.. as an errand boy
in the hat store of A. C. Lewis, In Louis
ville, Ky. There he Joined the Young
Men's Christian Association of that city
and learned to box. He soon found that
he could box better than any of the other
Christian young gentlemen of that asso
ciation, and longed to test his metal
elsewhere.
The Y. M. C. A. of Louisville was too
limited, and he transferred his abilities
and his membership to other cities, box
ing wherever he could get an engage
ment.
After a while he returned to Louis-;
ville with an aggregation of fighters,
and there at a theater met ail comers. -
He fought Dick Moore and made such a '
monkey of him that the spectators'
thought it was a fake fight and hissed
the result. Moore could not land on
him. »
Then "Kid" McCoy went to Africa
and they brought all their British anr
South African pugilists out to meet him
He came home an unbeaten man.
When he met Dan Creedon a few
weeks ago he knocked out Creedon so
quickly that It wasn't a fight, and now
he is waiting "to whip his next man.
At preseut "Kid" McCoy could no
beat Fltzsinimons. The man does no
live at present who could do so. Bu
McCoy Is every bit ns smart as Fit*
slromons, ar.d every i>;t as clever an
say that he Is n cleverer man than Fltz
sinimons.
Hut McCoy lacks strength—he Isn't Old
enough. CHve him another year and
then you will see.
McCoy is going to meet Peter Mahrr
and he is going to meet Choynski, and
he would like to meet Cc*j}ett und FitX
slmmons.
11 1 warned (o be a pugilistic prophet
and peer into the future I should say
thnt within a year two things will hap-
pen. Corbett and Fltzslmmons will meet
again, not i:i New York city, but west
or south. Carson City is about the only
place where they can have their fight.
There are those who say it can take
place In New York, but this is foolish,
for the legislature will not allow It.
Still acting as a seer, I should say
fjQS ANGELES HERALD: *'O\'DAV MORNING 21, 18?8
that McCoy will meet both Maher and
Choynski, and from his present form
L-houlil best both of them.
Then will come the great match be
tween McCoy and Fltzsinimons, or if
Corbett knocks out Fltzsinimons there
will be a match between McCoy and
Corbett. McCoy will challenge a year
Irom now, whoever he may be. 1 un
derstand that he would like to fight
them now, but they will not fight him
, yet, though his money deposit is up an I
!he is ready und willing. And I don'l
blame them, Prize-fighting is hard
work, and when a pugilist leaves the
stage, where he earns thousands of dol
| lars every wee!:, for the long training
and the terrors o fthe prize ring, he wants
to be pretty sure that he is going to
get fame us well as prize money.
Well, then, after Corbett nnd Fits-
Simmons have had their bout, then will
tome the tight between McCoy and tho
champion.
And McCoy—well, I am not going to
say any more, because a prophet, if he
ibe the right kind of a prophet, keeps
j people guessing.
j But I guess you know where Jim
I Wakeley's money will lie placed two
I years from now.
j And 1 think 1 pretty nearly know a
I prize-fighter when I see him, for all the
world knows I backed Sullivan in the
seven biggest battles he ever fought.
MRS. DEACON'S RETURN
Another Chapter in This Famous
French Romance
Mrs. E. Parker Deacon's return to
New York this winter was the result of
a chance meeting in a Swiss hotel last
summer, which brought about what
what seemed to her the first opportunity
for reinstatement in society. Since the
tragedy, which five years ago made her
known to the civilized world, Mrs. Dea
con has lived away from the world in
which she had moved for many years.
There seemed very little hope for a res
toration to her former place in France,
and the life that was open to her in the
continental cities was not to her liking.
The only place that she longed for. was
that which she had occupied before her
husband shot M. Abeille, and for that
she determined to struggle when the
right time came. It arrived last summer
in Switzerland. Stopping in the same
hotel with her was her husband's broth
er. She sent her card to his wife, and
an intimacy grew up between them. Dur
ing that time Mrs. Deacon won the sym
pathy of her brother-in-law and his wife,
and it was agreed that when they re
turned to New York she should come
along with them. Since her divorce from
her husband she has been known as Mrs.
Baldwin. There were other elements of
strong social support for her here, and
when Mrs. Baldwin, as she called her
self, returned to New York this winter,
it was with the purpose of remaining
here if she found that her plan succeed
ed. Mrs. Baldwin's friends were all con
vinced that the charges brought against
her were false, and it was on that ground
that she was to be introduced to New-
York. In case the circumstances wore
favorable, Mrs. Baldwin was to remove
to New York permanently. In view of
the fact that her husband's health has
not improved, and that he is today con
fined in a madhouse, there can be no
truth In tho story of a reconciliation be
tween them. It was not with that pur
pose, Mrs. Baldwin's friends say, that
she came to this country, but in order
to take her place in society without the
need of any further meeting with him.
She has been present already at a num
ber of semi-private places, and on one or
two occasions there was some evidence
of a possible successful result to her
plan. But the attention that her pres
ence began to attract, the rumors of a
reconciliation between her and her hus
band, and the rest of the sensational
stories printed about her seem to h&Vi
brought finally the complete failure 01
a plan that started with every promls
of success.—New York Suit.
SLEEP IN A SNOWSTORM
Candidates for Klondike Practically
Test Their Blankets
There are two men on West's hill, Dv
butltie, lowa, who are going to Klondlk
next month. Kach has a complete oul
fit, and are anxious for the Urns to com
when they can go. They have large an.
heavy blankets, and, in order to tell
them, each wrapped himself up las:
Saturday night and laid down in tit
snow ln his yard. They were so com
fortable that they fell asleep, and In
the morning were completely covered
with snow. Their families did not lenov
what hud become of them, not dreaming
that they WOUld remain out all night
About 10 oclock Sunday morning on<
of them awoke, but, ns everything wa
dark to him he supposed it was ltd
night and went to sleep again, and the
next time he woke up it was :i:::0 in th
afternoon. The other fellow did nol
wake up at all until he was arouse!
from his slumber by his partner, whi
came to the conclusion that he had .di pt
long enough, and, raising himself up
lifted up about a wagon load of snow.
Both were in a state of perspiration.
To say that they were astonished when
told how long they had been asleep
would be putting It mildly. They have
now come to the conclusion that they
can stand the rigors of the Alaskan
climate.—Chicago Chronicle.
MINES AND MINERS
The largest mining deal which has taken
place of late in California has just been
perfected, says the Ban Francisco Chrom
ic. On Thursday las'j the property of the
Royal Consolidated Mining company, lo
cated about three miles from Copperopolis.
Calaveras county, was purchased by .1.
C. Kemp van Ec, a well known operator
of London. It was an out and out sab-,
the price paid to the late owners, I. It. Wil
bur of this city and .1. D. Peters and Mr.
Cassell of Stockton, having been $400,000,
The property has the reputation of b< ing
the highest low grade proposition in Cali
fornia* the ore running nearly $10 a ton. It
consists of six patented mining claims,
the Emma. Cioo 1 Enough, Royal. Royal Ex
tension. Ant Hill and Pine and a patented
mill site. The developments of ihe late
owners liave been confined to the Royal
vein and the Royal ami Hood Enough
Claims anil to only one ore chute. They
proved, however. Very profitable, having
netted |50.K/> per annum during the last
tour years an.l a half.
The Royal property has been under care
ful examination for many months by such
experts us William A. Parish of Denver,
William P. MiUer of San Erancisro. YV li.
Beall of South Africa and John Barr of
Glasgow, who substantially agree as to the
amount of oro in sight. The figures given
by Mr. Earlsh aro 70,000 tons of lirst an.;
Xi.ooo tons of second class, making a total
of 105,000 tons actually in sight.
Mr. Kemp van Ee's purchase was largely
made on future possibilities of the proper! y
being more cheaply and extensively
worked. At present there is a small shaft
lo a depth of TOO feet. This is to he made
n triple compartment and sunk with all
possible speed to a depth of 1200 feet and ul
timately to MWD feet. The twenty stamu
mill, which has been crushing rock at the
rate of thirty tons a day. Is to make room
for one of sixty stamps of 1100 pounds each,
capable of crushing 240 pounds daily. New
hoisting works are to be erected, 130 men
put to work and the cost of mining and
milling the 105.000 tons in sight reduced
from $4.32 to $2.r>o a ton.
A Big Tunnel
Mr. Donald Grant of Minnesota is at the
head of the company organized to drive a
big tunnel Into a mountain in the Cripple
Creek district. Speaking of the project,
Mr. Grant said to a Denver Republican re
porter that the work was being success
fully carried out. and up to the present
lime three ledges carrying good gold values
had been encountered.
The company has entered into an agn c
ment with the claim owners and mine
operators whereby it gets an interest in the
ledges encountered in driving the lunnel.
The mines in the Cripple Creek dlstrh t
are in most cases very wet. and the tunnel
Is driven In such a way as to cut the lodges
and open the water courses, thus draining
the mountain of water and making the
mines dry. It Is a Ids undertaking, but is
being curried out successfully.
An Important Sale
Frank A. Smith has closed another Im
portant mining ileal for Michigan parties
in the purchase from Sampson & Ilent of
their famous Centennial group of mines
in the Gijuas Mining district located about
two mlb-s north of the Grant group re
cently purchased by Toledo parties. The
Centennial group is a large property, the
main lc'dge or ore body raising many feet I
above the surface, forming a great dyke
of gold hearing ore. Mr. Smith says that
his sampling of eighty tons on lite vein
or ledge gave $33 per ton in gold. This
Is certainly very fine. But the mining en
gineer sent out by the company sampled
the ore eighty feet across the vein or lodge
and got $33 per ton. The estimate made of
the ore in sight by the party was $21.00:1.0111,
which seems high, but it may be correct, as
that Is a very rich district and the ore
bodies are very largo.
It Is the Intention to put up a twenty
stamp mill at once and to commence reduc
ing ores. It Is estimated that this can b*
accomplished within sixty days.
Mexico's Mining Law-
Mexico has adopted a new mining law as
follows:
Article 1. Upon the expiration of the
three months' period, fixed by article 13 of
the mining iaw. during which the explorer
only has a right to acquire mining claims,
no new exploration permits will be record
ed on the explored land, nor will notices of
Intended exploration work he admitted for
the same ground until after the expira
tion of six months, during which the ground
will bo open and free for the acquisition
therein of mining claims. In places where
possession of mining claims has been ob
tained.- explorations may only he made on
ground two hundred meters distant from
the boundaries of those claims and In
abandoned mines. In all cases the explorer
must define the location and the boundaries
of the ground with clearness anel precision.
| Article 2. The agents of the mining de
partments shall post upon the board of
notices at their offices a copy of all per
j mlts. notices or administrative acts, re
ferred to in article 13 of the mining iaw,
(ixing at the end of such copies the exact
dates of beginning and termination of ex
plorations.
Under this new law exploration privi
leges cannot be renewed on mining zones
after the expiration of the first three
months, until after an intermission of six
months, during which six months the land
will be open to the location of mining
claims. The new law corrects three abuses
In the old law. First, it prevents the keep
ing of lads tied up under the cover of the
zone permit for years by renewing the zone
every three months. Second, the practice
of having indefinite boundary lines for such
zones is abolished. One cannot locate a
zone with the broad statement "my zone Is
eight leagues square with such a moun
tain in the center." The new law requires
that the boundary lines of each zone must
be kept posted on the notice boards in the
office of the mining agent of the district
iln which the zone Is located, for the In
-1 spectlon of any person interested, and the
I permits must show the dates of the be
ginning and ending of the three menrhs'
life of the ssonr.
Badcmacher District
Mr. J. W. Duval gives gcod reports of

MODEL HOMES AT MODERATE COST
Environment means a great deal in de- j
signing homes.. If, for instance, a home Is
to t)e built upon a side line, and the sur
rounding houses are few ami far between,
the house may present many angles and
external features whloh would not be per
missible in ono built in confined Quarters,
Where the area was limited or nelghmor
ing houses were 10 crowd upon the view
and reduce it to one among a numhc r of
its fellows more or Its:; identical in style.
Under these circumstances, originality
in design and treatment are much more
difficult than in the open, where breadth of
treatment may make all the difference in
the world In the external appearance of
two houses built upon the same Idea of
dimension and accommodation. In the
house shown in Ibis sketch the limit of area
necessarily confined the style to somewhat
of the appearance which would he neces
sary were it constructed ln a block where
all are alike.
Ther Is provision made lure for side
openings and breathing spaces permissible
by the size of the lot, but entinly different
from such an arrangement as might be
made lv a house designed for an open space
of perhaps hundreds of feet.
tiers all is made as compact and con
densed as the circumstances require. For
a narrow lot. say. thirty feet, this Is v
mos: excellent plan, and to give an oppor
tunity for variety two sots of plans have
been prepared, that the intending builder
tells us that the Rademacher cr Baron
mine is turning out some very fine rock;
they are down ISO feet with some drifts
end crosscuts that show good results, and
have about 5(0 tons of ore on the dump that
will average $100 to the ton.
On the Badger, owned by Duval Bros, and
some Loa Angelea parties, there is a shaft
down seventy-five feet, with a drift fifty
feet, and they are taking out ore that
assays from $85 to $689 per ton. This ore
is in bunches in the vein matter, which is
from three to six feet between the walls,
and is accompanied by about two feet of
red talc, which is so tough that 11 has to
be chiseled out. They expect to pet a good
thing in this property when they get down
deeper on it.
McKlnney Bros. & Sprouse have given
a one-flfth Interest In their mine to a Mr.
HoOgStraat for 400 feet of development
work, and on this ileal a shaft ICO feet deep
has been sunk in ore. and a well Is now
being sunk, It] which they expect to strike
water In about forty feet. It !s said thut
a mill will be built on this property during
the coming year. The vein has an average.
Width of fourteen feet, and Is considered
a pretty good stringer.
A Flattering Prospect
Wm. Runnels and Jas. Randle-s struck a
rich vein of ore about MOO feet east of the
C. O. D. mine, Hawkinsville district, says
the Yreka News. The vein Is about 12
Inches wide, in some places IS Inches wide,
und from five tons milled they saved $10
per ton. Their shaft and drifting are near
the summit of the hill, so that, they will
have several hundred feet to bo before
striking water level. It is certainly a very
flattering prospect. They saved no con
centrates and part of the ground was
frozen when the ore was milled. They In
tend having assays made lo determine the
value of the rock. They are near the C.
O. D.. which has fabulously rich ore. and
they have gcod reason to believe that they,
too, have a bonanza.

ing Industry have Just been granted:
To James M. Wishart of Oakland. Cal.,
for a gold separator consisting of a work

tangular hoxis having Hat bottoms and a
series of narrow channels having rounded
bottoms permanently secured between the
boxes, the boxes and channels being of
substantially the same depth.
To Edward Cmnin of Cincinnati, Ohio,
for a furnace for smelting metals. A cruci

tion and two pieces separated from the
body portion and forming a support there
for.
To Clinton J. Paine of the National Mili

having a central orifice in its bottom, an
operating shaft, a V-shaped bracket con
necting ihe operating shaft with the pan,
the bracket being removably secured to the
operating shaft by means of a screw plug
and a slot in the brocket for adjusting th-;
throw pan.
To Henry Wehrum of Scranton, Pa„ for
an ore roasting furnace, which consists of
two independent structures located side
by side and having a space between the
structures each containing a series of In
dependent roasting pockets and means for
Independently supplying heat thereto, and
an ore receiving platform bridging the
space between the structures at substan
tially the top thereof.
Reserving- Mining Ground
It Is very probable that the Dominion
government will have its hands full In
carrying out tbe provisions of the new
mining law which reserves for the state
alternate sets of ten claims, these to be. of
course, subsequently sold or leased. It is
going to be very difficult to adjust those
in the Klondike region, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner. If the government's re
serve groups of ten eiaims each are to be
for the purpose of letting in block to organ
izations largely representing "outsiders,"
there will be grievous disappointment and
disaffection among the gold miners In the
Yukon country. With the immense num
ber of men In the country looking for
claims, which will be tho case this summer.
It will be hard to keep the land reserved
in this way. for there will of course not be
ground enough to go around. The men
who brave the hardships incident to open
ing up a new country and the dangers of
pass, river and climate, will not want lo
see choice ground let to men who have
risked nothing and who still remain In
their easy chairs at home. The plan Is
bound to lead to serious contentions among
the working miners and the Dominion au
thorities and will possibly lead to more
trouble than even the collection of the roy
ally on output of the mines. Then the ques
tion will also come up of possible favorit
ism ln the letting or selling of this reserved
ground, which, if of great value, like some
of the known claims on the Klondike
creeks, will be a source of temptation. But
the worst feature will be that the miners
actually on the spot will rebel to see valu
able ground lying idle and unworked. and
their protests will be earnest and vigorous.
The Dominion authorities will have diftl
culty working out the problem.

Gold in Baled Hay
The Sonora Democrat of last week tells
how the workmen at Half's sawmill found
rocks in the baled bay sold to the mill,
which, upon examination, proved to be
! gold-bearing quarts. The llrst piece ground
up in a hand mortar yielded 31 worth of
gold dust. From that time on all the rocks
tln the hay were saverl and "mortared."
The result enriched the boys to the extent

cate the ranch from which the Quarts
came, but so far without success.
Only $30,000 a Month Profit
There has been some question among
observers of the operations of the hig cop
per mine at Keswick. Shasta county,
whether it was a paying proposition or
not. This issue the editor of the Redding
Free Press sets at rest by showing that
the company is producing about 125 tons
of matter daily. This matter contains $111
per ton In copper, $13 in siiver and $l*t. or
a lota! of 5111 per ton. a monthly yield of
|530,000. As against this sum about 186,000

Another Coffee Creek Yarn
According to the news from Coffee creek.
Trinity county, the Craves brothers have
found another rich pocket in their mine
in that locality, says the Oakland Enqutror.
It will be remembered that it was the dis
covery by these boys last fall of a nugget
alleged to be worth $4:1,000 that created a
Wild stampede to Trinity. When it was dis
covered that tho gold found by them was
only valued at $18,000, and that there was
no more to be found ln the vicinity, the
excitement soon abated. The amount said
to have been taken out Wtihln the last tew
days is fixed at $00,000, and the statement
Is made on the strength of a letter from
Mitchell Perry to his brother-in-law, D. F,
McCleary, giving the Information. It is
safe to predict, however, that if there Is
any truth in the story it is greatly exag
gerated.
Miners' Day at the Fail
February 2nd promises to sec more

nerve to make it the great day of the fair.
This it unquestionably will be. The low

Mining Notes
A very important strike was made In
the Saginaw mine, in Arizona, recently. A
crosscut from one shaft to connect with
another was made, during which they cut
a vein of lead ore carrying ISO ounces
silver and one ounce gold. The vein is
three and one-half feet wide, but the bang
ing wall had not been reached and tbe ex
tent of the ore could not be determined.
The Saginaw Mining company is shipping
ore from tbe Young America. Tin y have
developed a rich body of copper and have
several six-mule teams hauling ore to the
I smelter at the Saginaw mine. The smelter
lat the Saginaw mine blew ln Friday night
and froze up, but they have it ready in
blow in again.
A box of bullion has been shipped from
the Old Glory, in tho Oro Blanco district,
which is valued at $4000. They have devel
oped a large body of good ore In the mine.

Would Vary the System
Col. Henderson of this city, who cham
pioned the cause of free seeds in the
house, has some Interesting correspond
j ence which, it is charged, was sent out
;by discontented seed firms or at their
Instigation. One of these communica
: tlons was mailed in this city, and reads:
Why not let up on seeds for awhile and
send Jackknivea? Everybody could use
them, and there would not be so much
! waste. In that case radish seed would
not come up poor turnips, and the con
! gressman would be saved much ridicule,
which he now often gets.
Another postal card, addressed from
j this city to Col. Henderson, is from a
i feminine standpoint. Here It is:
John's influence can't be got with 15
I cents' worth of "free seed," but if you'll
I send me a box of hairpins I'll look after
I him. HIS WIFE.
I. B.—l'd rather not have crooked ones.
