BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 8.—Joseph
Sandle has just learned that the,
world is at war. For four years,:
while the most momentous events in
history have been transpiring, he has!
been out of touch with civilization, on^
a prospecting expedition in the Afctic.!
He has just returned, and stopped;
here enroute to his former home in
Arizona. A gold strike in Alaska
which he was forced to abandon 20
years ago on account of failing health
has proven to be of little value, he
nuu -■—■ - -—
Sandle said he left Seattle in the
spring of 1913, secured suplies and
ammunition enough to last him about
two years, and made his way to his
old shack in the interior which he
had left in 1897.
“Everything was just as I had left
it,” he said. “Not a thing had been
disturbed. Even the same grease was
still in the frying pan in which I had
cooked by last breakfast there in
1897, and I was surprised to find a
liberal- quantity of supplies on hand,
still in a good state of preservation.”
He spent the summer months in
killing and preserving a supply of
game for the winter, he said, and
thus he spent five winters and four
summers there. He made four trips
south and traded gold and furs to the
Indians for more supplies. He met
a "band of white men in 1915, but
they were going “out” and knew less
than he did about the outside world.
“When I left for the north, the pa
pers were discussing world wide
peace,” he said. “It did not seem pos
sible that I would ever again hear of
a war of any importance. I learned
of the war in Seattle a week ago.”
He has purchased a quantity of
literature on the war and is busying
himself pouring over back files of
newspapers, endeavoring to inform
himself.

Little Gem gold quartz property in
the Willow creek section, near An

and will ship in for installation on
the property a 10-ton mill, which he
will have ready for operation next
spring. There is already a 5-ton mill
on the property.

RING TflORNEFI
[;:::. for
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8.—With
most of the top notch boxers endeav-[
oring to secure berths as instructors
in the fistic art at the training camps,!
the padded glove game is receiving a'
big impetus in the army. The Presidio 1,
of San Francisco contains a number
of boys who won distinction in both
the professional and the amateur
ring, and word from other camps dis
closes a like condition.
The seventy companies at the Pre
sidio here have planned a competi
tion to include every weight class.
This will make seventy boxers for
every division of the game, and will
provide the soldiers with a winter of
good sport. Of course some of the
companies are liable to be moved to
“somewhere else in America" before
the tourney is over, but those behind
the move figure on incoming com
panies to fill the gap.
The tourney will be conducted un
der strictly amateur rules, which will
l
.call for three round bouts with two
*
judges to pass on each affray. The
army promoters here figure that by
the time the tourney has worked
down to the semi-finals It will have
attracted nation-wide interest.
Each company will hold an elimina
ion tourney with the idea of selecting
the best men in each class, and thus
the basis of seventy boxers for each
weight division will be reached.
The recent ruling of the Amateur
Ahtletlc association that amateurs
and professionals may compete in
sports in army camps, means, accord
ing to the wiseacres that the boxing
sport provided in the camp will be on
a par with the highest class of shows
elsewhere.
