SPORTS CROWD
INTO GOLDFIELD
Cans Nelson light Attracting
Followers of the Game
by Thousands.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Goldfield. Nevada, Aug. ill Follow
ers of the light ing game are coming
j into Goldfield hy thousands from all
| parts of the country. Many have al
ready arrived and the telegraph an
nounces that large numbers are on the
way. Interest in tin* contest appears
, to be extraordinary since opinion has
settled down to the belief that the
tight i> to be on the square.
Not a large amount of betting has
been done so far, and even wagers are
the rule, although it is said that slight
odds have been demanded by Cans
backers. The vague suspicion that
the darkey may lay down has a slight
i intluence. although the suspicion has
! no apparent basis. It is admitted
that Nelson will light for keeps and
that if there is any fake it will be ar
ranged without his knowledge. If
Gar.s quits he will have to put up a
strong tight lirst and then take a
i knockout, as anything else will show
as a fake.
Will Fight on Labor Day
Messrs. Joseph Cans of Baltimore
and “Battling** Nelson of Chicago will
work industriously on Labor Day.
Sept. in a small ring at Goldfield.
Nevada. Incidentally they may work
the public. The sporting pages of the
outside papers are full of the coming
tight for the light weight champion
ship. This is a real championship con
test because it is between the only
men who have any claim to the title
audit will be at the light weight
limit 133 pounds ringside. Suspicious
sports are casting doubts upon the
genuineness of the contest, but the
weight of opinion is that it will be on
the square because the Dane has al
ways been square and Guns has been
trying to quit the faking habit lately.
Because of the negro’s shady reputa
tion Nelson was able to demand and
receive two-thirds of the $30,000 purse,
win or lose.
BURTON WILL RECOVER
Further Details About Fight with
Bear at Chicaloon Bay
The Gateway correspondent at Sun
rise sends an account of the fight
which A. IV Burton had with a she
bear at Chickaloon bay. correcting
some details of the story first pub
lished. but stating that Burton will
recover in a few weeks, although he
was badly hurt. The correspondent
writes:
While out camping on Chicaloon
flats with his companion. Winfield
Taylor, A. 1). Burton in passing
through some berry bushes came upon
several brown bear. All got out of his
way but an old mother bear with two
cubs. He shot one cub and the old
bear made for him. so he was com
pelled to kill her. After he fired at her
she fell on her back and he left her for
dead.
Burton then walked around the
thick bushes to get at the dead cub
and to his surprise came upon the
mother, who had got up and moved
toward her young. Before he had
time to get out of her way she struck
at him and broke his left forearm
above the wrist. The bear jumped
upon him and chewed his right leg
and hand. He finally got his right
arm around her neck and managed to
check her breath. Having choked
her she weakened, then he had a
chance to escape. Not until he was a
safe distance away from her did he re
alize how badly he was hurt. His left
arm broken, right arm and hand bit
up, and right leg badly bitten, he tried
to make for his camp but soon weak
ened from his injuries and loss of blood.
Distress signals tired by Burton soon
brought his companion. With the
aid of other campers Burton was car
ried to his boat and brought to Sun
rise the next day.
Burton has been in Alaska for sever
al years along the coast and in and
about Nome. He is acquainted in
Seward. Last year he built several
boats in Sunrise, cutting his own tim
ber and whipsawing the boards by
himself.
Burton’s wounds must be looked af
ter very attentively as there is danger
of blood poisoning. He will probably
belaid up for a few weeks and is now
helpless. He is fixed up confortably
in a cabin and his wants are attended
to by the men.
Gov. Iloggatt has announced that
after he completes his tour of Alaska
he will be ready to name the Alaska
directors for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition.

SCHOONER THREE M CALLS
Little Boat of 35 Tons Safely Sails
Open Seas.
; The little gasoline schooner Three
! M. of 35 tons, dropped anchor in the
I harbor near the dock late Saturday
J afternoon, ending a prosperous voyage
from Seattle, which port she left July
125. She made several stops and re
i mained several days at Cordova. She
is under command of Captain Ernest
F. Miller, an Alaska sourdough who
has commanded mail steamers and
other vessels along the coast for
twenty years. She sailed again for
Cordova Monday morning.
Capt. Miller knows nearly every old
Alaskan he found in Seward. This
was his first visit to Resurrection bay
since a town was started on its shore.
He first entered the bay in lsttlt. In
link) and likJl he commanded a mail
steamer which carried mail from Ju
neau to Dutch Harbor and called once
a month in Resurrection bay to leave
mail for Sunrise. He left this with
the Lowell family and the carrier from
Sunrise called for it.
The pilot of the Three M is Capt.
Ed. Clements, once master of the
famous Puget Sound steamer City of
Kingston. Later he commanded the
Alert to Alaska. The little schooner
has a crew of live.
Tenderfeet Make Strike
The strike made in the Lepine dis
trict late last week is one of the most
peculiar of any recorded in the Yukon.
The discovery, like that of the famous j
Cheechaco hill on Bonanza, was made ;
bv cheechacos. Several men while J
digging holes for the posts on which
the heavy wires will be strung to con
duct the power of the Guggenheim
plant from Twelve-mile to the mouth
of the Klondike and Bonanza, struck
white channel gravel at the bottom of
one of the holes. They knew enough
of the white channel rock by reputa- j
tion to know that there should be gold
somewhere near it. Accordingly the
men went up the hill a little way and
sank a hole. They found pay on Fish
creek, a tributary of Lepine, on the
left limit. Lepine in turn runs into
Rock, which empties into the Klondike
on the right limit. Dawson News.
