AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Good News
The announcement that the
Buena Vista Mining Company
plans to proceed with an ag
gressive development policy on
the Big Missouri, the program
including construction of a mill
and possibly a power plant,
comes as a welcome relief front
the somewhat depressing out
look confronting the district
since the marked decline in sil
ver and other metal values. In
fact the announcement may be
considered quite the most im
portant development insofar as
the Hvder district is concerned
since the opening of the famous
Premier mine nearly a decade
ago.
Although the full scope of
the Buena Vista company’s
contemplation have not been
made public, indications are
not wanting that the plans em
brace development of the Big
Missouri on a scale of far larg
er magnitude than is generally
expected. The powerful Con
solidated Mining and Smelting
Co., actual controller of the
of the property, is not one that
does things by halves and now
that it is definitely committed
to the opening up of the Big
Missouri on a production basis,
it may be confidently expected
that its future activities will in
duce a marked change in the
volume of local industry and
payroll. Furthermore, every
visible indication points to the
Big Missouri becoming ulti
mately a mine of probably
greater magnitude and value
than the famous Premier mine,
which has formed the principal
support of the Hyder camp
during the past ten years,
hence it may be expected to
provide an even greater sup
port and prosperity for the
community than the latter
property. To employ the
graphic if inelegant language
pf the street, it means that the
local camp will have two
“meal tickets” instead of one,
as well as additional assurance
of future permanency.
All of which is very agree
able to contemplate and for
which we should feel truly
thankful.

Beneficial Both Ways
Book buyers will be pleased
by the announcement that four
of the largest publishers will
cut prices in half. Some be
lieve that this will reduce au
thors’ royalties to an extent
that will discourage the pro
duction of new books. Which
may also be in the interest of
the public.

Old-Time Fighters
Discussions of the latest
prize-fight fiasco, in which the
German Schmelling won the
technical world’s champion
ship over Sharkey on a foul,
have renewed speculation as to
how John L. Sullivan and other
battlers of old would have
stacked up against our modern
pugs.
No one can tell, of course,
but when it is remembered, for
instance, that Sullivan and Kil
rain fought75rounds with bare
knuckles in the last champion
ship bout under London prize
ring rules, the stamnia of those
old timers can not be discount
ed. That was in 1889, since
which gloves have been used,
and no championship bout has
gone longer than 26 rounds
under the new rules. Under
the old London bare-knuckle
mles a round did not end until
one of the fighters was on the
ground. Then after only 30 sec
onds rest they went at it again.
As Jack Dempsey recently
pointed out, while Sullivan was
defeated by Uorljett, using
large gloves, Sullivan went to
his grave the undefeated bare
knuckle champion.
Qonsidering the unsatisfact- *
ory termination of many recent £
championship bouts, it i s *
strange that the boxing game {
has held its customers as well
as it has. But if promoters and
fighters do not soon begin to 1
stage better exhibitions than 1
have been witnessed-during
the past few years, it will not .
be surprising if the fans get 1
tired of being humbugged. !
There is no doubt t,hat the old- |
timers put on much better
shows for a fraction of the
present-day prices.
