Kyan, Jem Mace, Charley Mitchell a ji
Joe Goss were in their prime, when,
battles wore fought with bare fists
und skin tighi gloves, when Jim Cor
bett and Bob Fltzslmmons were just,
beginning to Introduce a more mod
irn style of fighting, and when Jef
fries, Johnson and the other present
day pugs were unheard of.
Bom in Australia and a miner by
profession, Slavin was a strapping
specimen of manhood. He stood 6
feet 2 Inches in his stocking feet and
weighed 182 pound* He loved the
boxing *me and hit natural prowess
in this line soon attracted the atten*
tion of t'^e sport loving Australians
who pitted him against Martin Pow
ers in Melbourne In 1883, when Slavi
was 22 years old. Slavin knocked his
man out after thirteen gruelling
rounds. Slavin abandoned mining an
trained for the ring. The following
year he defeated a number of men
and in 1886 he fought an eight round
draw with Jack Burke, who fought
John L. Sullivan to a standstill the

tered and in the tenth round Slavln
fell and was unable to rise.

to 'fall first and my legs gave out
anfl I couldn't get up."

vorite topic of conversation. He Is
one ' of the best boosters the north
has and Is an northerner heart and
soul. He has mushed over many of
the trails of the northland and is one

ique of Boulder creek, Atll'.i district,
who arrived in town Tuesday and will
return to Paris, France, has staked
Individual and association claims on
three new creeks In the Atlin dis
trict and is planning big operations
for next spring.
The creeks staked are Horse, Hem
lock and Crater which run into Sur-^
prise lake Just above Ruby and Otter
creeks. These creeks are worked by
ydraulic and it is almost certain that
a hydraulic plant will be Installed 011
the new creeks as soon as feasible.
Contracts for the lumber necessary
for the construction of camps and a
saw mill have already been let and
this winter expensive machinery will
be shipped over the ice. Mr. Oballs
kl will return early In the spring and
push the work rapidly.
Mr. Oballski has big interests in
Dawson and his new Atlin operations
are backed by big financial interests
in Paris. Mr. Oballski is a brother
of the ex-director of the mining de
partment of the province of Quebec
who has resigned to attend to his
private interests. ?
The prospects on the new creeks
have shown the existence of rich dirt
and the creeks should be big pro
ducers in the years to come. The
development of these creeks will mean
the employment of more men, a big
ger output, and a benefit in every way
for Ailiu.
