At the annual meeting of the Sun- rise mining cofiipany this week, the announcement was made that the ne- gotiations for bonding_ the property for a large sum had been closed up, and that within 60 days, development work would be started by the parties securing the bond. It is understood that they will incorporate a develop - went company, and propose to expend much money in thoroughly testing the ground. The Sunrise has not been , extensively developed so far, but there is a fine showing there, a nice body of ore having been exposed last year, and if the sale should be made, owners will realize handsomely on their holdings.

Captain McDonald, now at Hazle- ton, will start north from that point. He will have charge of trail blazers, bridge builders and roadmakers. They will have hundrole of miles to tra- verse through an uninhabited country, which a few tried to get through in the early rush for the Klondike. To connect the Yukon with the heart of Canada, a course will be blazed and bridged and pack routes cut through one of the wildest territories on earth. At Fort Graham Captain Camies is wintering, ready to commence work in the spring._ This party did some work there last year, but becnuse they were unable to get sufficient feed for their horses they were obliged to send them back to Athabasca landing, hundreds i of miles from Fort Graham. Not only will this long route, when finished, connect the heart of western t Canada with the frozen north for mili- tary purposes In time of trouble, but ' will afford e, long -wanted highway by which trappers and prospectors can get in their supplies and ship out their products. -- -- - --- - - of public approval are our methods of doing business We handle the very best in all kinds of Blank Books and Office Supplies and our prices are always as low as high quality justifie& Buy from us and you will be pleased.

Third ward -Judges, Walter Knight, Edward Brassey, N. J. Littlejohn; clerks, Herman Schnick, A. W. Stod- dard. The Yearly Expenses. The time for presenting the esti- mate of the expenses of the city for the next fiscal year having arrived, Alderman Frank E. Smith said that he believed the mayor of Lewistown should receive some salary. The posi- tion was one requiring a great deal of time and involving a great deal of work. The lowest salary paid such an officer in the state, so far as he knew was $25 per month, or $300 a year. He proposed that this amount be fixed as the salary of the next mayor. As for the aldermen, the or- dinance already fixed their \ per diem at $3 for each regular meeting at- tended. An ordinance was then read and passed, appropriating the follow- ing amounts for the year ending on the first Monday in May, but these amounts, except in the- case of_ sal- aries, are merely estimates, and may be considerably more than what will be required: For the salary of the city attorney, $420; chief of police and street com- missioner, $1.279.20: treasurer and of- fice rent, $420; clerk and water col- lector, $960; police judge, $420: po- liceman. $960; for fuel lighting and heating of city hall, $300; printing and stationery, $250; board of prison- ers, $250; miscellaneous expense, $250; salary of mayor, $_390; per diem of aldermen ($3 pOr regr meeting), $432. The ordinance appropriates $6,000 for street improvements. $1,080 for the salary of the chief of the fire de - pertinent, for keep of team $250; oth- er expenses of fire department, $750. Free Delivery System. Postmaster Albert Pfaus addressed the council briefly, stating that the inspector would be here shortly to hold an examination for carriers and to pass on the readiness of 'the city for free delivery. As this inspector would be the last one to pass on the matter', he suggested that the work of complying with the requirements in the way of having proper side- walks be begun at once. Alderman lane thought this sug- gestion should be given immediate at- tention, and finally the street commis- sioner was requested to furnish the council with a list of the sidewalks needed. Victor Content, having failed to ,ca,- ry out his contract for the construction of certain sidewalks, the contract was, on motion of Alderman Smith, de- clared void. Cost of Lights. The Citizens Electric company sent in a memorandum of the charges that would be made for street lights, be- ing the figures agreed upon by the council at a recent conference with John L. Bright. The city attorney was instructed to prepare a contract covering the matter. The charges specified are as follows: Street arcs, $4.50 per month; incandescents, 16's, 50 cents; 32's. 75 cents; at city hall and fire department, 16's, 25 cents; 32's, 60 cents; library lighting, fiat rate $10 per month. Commissioner Parrent stated that the county now owned all of the court house square, and the commissioners were completing arrangements for the construction of the court house. There was an alley running through the square, and it was the wish of the commissioners that this should be abandoned, as its existence would seriously interfere with their plans. On motion of Alderman Smith, the city attorney was instructed to take the necessary steps to meet this re- quest at once. Clerk Smith Resigns. William Smith, city clerk and col- lector of water rates, tendered his resignation, to take effect immediate- ly. The resignation was accepted. It is understood that Mr. Smith wishes to devote himself to other business. Mayor Pinkley announced that he would appoint El. W. Mettler to fill the vacancy temporarily. The office will be permanently filled after the April election. C. C. Jeffrey and others asked for an extension of the water main to their 'residences, a distance of about 60 feet. Granted. The usual monthly bills and pay- rolls were sdlowed. LATEST SPORTING • L NEWS Joe Gans, the lightweight cham- pion, is interested as much in the progress made by the heavyweight fighters as he is in those of any other class of boxers. He keeps CIOSe watch on all the work accomplished by the big fighters and is as good a judge of the heavyweights as there is In the country. Gans believes Jeffries Is the greatest fighter the world ever knew and that he can defeat any two men in the ring today. In a recent state- ment he said: \The big fellows are the ones that Interest me most. I an colored, but my color does not carry me away when it comes down to picking out the best fighters. I have heard hundreds of people express the opinion that Jack Johnson can whip Jim Jeffries. I don't think so. \Does any man for a second think Jack Johnson could have whipped Jim Corbett in his prime? No, never. Jef- fries whipped Corbett on two differ- ent occasions and both defeats were decisive ones. Johnson is a hard man to beat, but he does not class with Jeff. Billy Delaney has Al. Kaufman in tow and dmay boost him along with the poor material in the field at pres- ent, but if Jeff was ever to stick his head outdoors again such men as Kaufman wouldn't have a look -in with him. \The way Sam Berger was beaten by Kaufman showed that he did not possess championship timber, and it seems that we haven't even got one good man that could make Jeff hustle for a few rounds. judging by the way the big fellows have shown up in their recent lights. \Tommy Burns -there's another one that seeks and even claims champion- ship honors. Well, wouldn't you like to go to 'Frisco from New York to see Jeffries fight Burns? Just think what folly that would be. Mike Schreck is one of the most popular lighters I ever heard of, but he is not in the same class with Jeffries. Let the sports stop tb 'consider what Schreck has done and what Jeffries would do to Schreck should they ever meet, and I am Sure they will agree with me In saying that he does not belong in Jeffries' class.\ never would have been able to stand up to the fight for 32 rounds -over two hours of fighting, lie knows far more about the ring game than Scaler and is faster and cleverer. Local fans take it as a still greater proof that the Spokane boy is possibly tar bet- ter than local talent is willing to ad- mit The same old story about a prophet not being without honor save in his own country. Scaler has not been In training for nearly six months, and this long rest undoubtedly worked against him, rath- er than for him with the short time he had to train. But it is the same old story of youth and ambition. If ever a boy wanted to succeed in the fighting game, that boy is Scaler. One of his worst. faults has been over -eag- erness and a disposition to be a little over -confident, but it has never been charged agtanst him that he was a quitter. He is game to the core, and can give and take a lot of punishment. With proper handling and a chance against some of the best men, there is every reason to believe that Scaler stands an excellent chance to make good in his division. A great deal of interest was taken in this city in the outcome of the Scaler -Oglesby fight at Helena last - Week for the reason that SCaTer was seen in the ring in Lewistown not long ago, and while the game he was up against did not give him a chance to show how good he was, it did give the people a good opinion of him. Scaler is a fighter. On the occasion of his contest here his opponent went into the ring to stay the full number of rounds agreed on, and he did it. Knight's system of staying is one of the hardest propositions seen in the ring today. The Helena bout was very different, because Oglesby never went into the ring in his life simply to stay, but always to win, and he fought Scaler every minute of the time. The result clearly demonstrated that the Spokane lad is the Helena champion's master. The Spokesman -Review, commenting on the contest, says: Kid Scaler's next opponent will be Freddy Weeks, the crack little Colo- rado featherweight, who has kicked out every opponent he has had for the last few months in lightning quick time. This word was received yester- day from Helena, where Scaler Mon- day night defeated Oglesby in the thirty-second round of what was sched- uled for a finish fight. Jack Kearns, Scaler's manager, is dickering with Maurice Durand, the Cripple Creek promoter - and - filithager of young - Weeks. Weeks has the Colorado fans by the ears with his recent sensational per- formances. His record at Cripple Creek last week of putting out three men in less than four minutes is be- lieved to be one of the most remark- able performances in the history of pugilism. Weeks is a featherweight with the punch of a welterweight, while perhaps lacking in the clever- ness of the real top liners in that weight division. When Weeks was in Spokane a year ago, his manager, Bob Measmer, made every effort to get Scaler In the ring against him, but at that time Weeks was not the pugilistic celebrity that he is now, and Scaler refused to meet him unless he could get a guarantee of a house big enough tc) pay him for the trouble of training. Now that Weeks has nailed a few cleats on the ladder of fame on which to stand for a time at least, and has blossomed out into a popular favorite. at the little Colorado mining city, it is figured that a match there between Weeks and Scaler would draw a ca- pacity house, the Spokane boy's work against Oglesby entitling him to con- siderable credit. The two are logical opponents, ranking as the best 126 -128 - pounders in the weal Spokane fight fans were mightily tickled over the showing of Scaler against the Montanan. While it is generally admitted that Oglesby's best days as a fighter are over, yet he could not have been SO very far gone or he Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Itch, Ring Worm, Herpes, Barbers' Itch.
