ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, DECEMBER 64,1898. HES NTAD HEC Chas. Moth, the Wrestler, Says the Miner Interview Was A Fake HE IS NOT GUILTY OF THE TRICK Goes To Kendrick, Idaho, to Meet a Champion—Will Return to Rossland. Chas. Moth, the wrastler, was seen at the Depot this morning by a Recorp representative, just before he left for Montana to wrestle with the champion amateur of that state. Moth was asked concerning the inter- view as printed in the Miner this morn- ing, in which heis said to have admit- ted that the late match at the Interna- tional between Frank Saundry and himself was a “fake” and that he,Moth, threw it. s Moth atated in reply to the iuquiry, that “the wrestling match was as fair a one as was ever wrestled by any oue,”’ that “the reported interview between himself and the Miner reporter was a ‘fake’ of the rankest order.” «That is a pack of lies from start to finisb,” said the German wrestler as his eyes snapped with anger. ‘‘I was’ not in the Allan hotei at 4 a. m. Sunday morning, nor any other morning at such an hour. “No sir, I did not talk to nor ever see + a Miner reporter and have had no talks with reportera from the Miner at any time since I came to Rossland.’ **No Miner reporter, nor anyone elee ever asked me such impudent and in- sulting questions as that article imputes. If they should I wouid treat it as it de- serves to be, i.e, walk away from such an individual as would insult me so, or slap his face, as I thought right. © “You can say that is a low down lie— all of it,and waa done by someone to injure my reputation. . “J don’t know who could bave done it. Of course, in contests of any sort, one is bound to displease someone, but in all my 14 yearsexperience in the wrestling ring I never before had such a low down contemptible, lying and malicious at- tack made upon me as that arti- cle, and can’t account for it only from rumors that I have heard around town, to the effect that a ‘sure- thing’ betting man of d, well M.

Idon’t understand Cornish rules like he does, and don’t think I can throw him that way. That is why I made the match two bouts of each rule, the fifth round to be chosen by the man who made the quickest fall, believing I could stay on my feet over ten minutes ina Cornish rule bout, so I would get the choosing of the fifth bout, and there- by win the match. “I went intothe match to win, and am eorry it ended as it did, but I never purposely fouled ina match in my life, and think thefoul allowed in the fourth bont wag on a very narrow margin. “I would wrestle Saundry again under the came rules, but he refused. Still, I would be better pleased to wrestle un- der cateb 2 ,orG R rules, those being my accustomed holds. Iam nota Cornish hold wrestler, and imy only hope in that way wasto tire outmy opponent by my. weight and dead hold. Iam not even familiar with all the Cornish holds. “Saundry isa strenger to me, but he is a good man under Cornish rules. I did not get acent from him, nor did I look forany. He is square man, 50 far asI know. I would rather have lost on afall than on a foul. The match was fair and equare, and I would have won it ifI could, tut that alleged Miner in- terview was a ‘‘fake,” made from whole cloth. Iexpect to be backin Rossland in a month or six weeks.” Winter Carnival.

A prominent railway contractor said this morning that ‘‘The N. P. Co., 0. R. & N. Co. ond the G. N.Co. would ex- pend at least $18,000,000 in railroad con- 2 struction in the next three years on pro- posed lines inthe northwest, a good portion of which would be on. branch lines into southern and eastern British Columbia.” He cited as an inatance verifying his statement, the fact that “The largest order for steel rails ever {| civen in the history of the world have been made during. the past three months, and on an advancing market at that.” He remembered, farther on, that there would bea veritable boom in British Columbia and the northwest F< | generally in the railroad building line E| during the next few yeara.

Two Mysterious Men Driven to the Interna- tlonal Boundary Line, Between 3 and 4 o’clock afew morn- ings ago a cutter was engaged to drive a couple of men to the boundary line. There was no quibble about the livery- man’s price. ‘he cutter was ordered to waitin the alley. Presently two men. muffled to the ears handed the driver the price and got into the sleigh. The horses heads were turned to the ¢outh, and for ten miles not a cound was heard about the cutter but the clatter of the horse’a hoofs.- The sleighbells were left. at home. Not a word was spoken save as the driver checked ed the good speed of hia team The International boundary line was reached in agout one hour’s time. The two men alighted and stood by the road- side until the Rossland bound train was This was the morning af- ter the Moth-Saundry wrestling match and the driver said upon his return that he thought he had taken Moth to the line, but afterwards he acknowledged his mistake, but was at sea to know who his misterious passengers were. This morning had some light to throw upon the morning ride. There had been a pretty large poker game in town that night, and these two amen had won $2,800. They were afraid the loser would ‘‘squeal” inthe morn- ing, 0 took time by the forelock, and crossed the line as stated above. ‘The next sesfion of the provincial leg- islature of Quebec has been fixed for January 12, tobe either a etraight or mixed match. . Mr. Burns. does not want to wrestle at the International, as he does not wish the publicity and notoriety that popular resort would give to the match. He is a powerful man, and will make it interesting for the man who accepts his challenge. . Removes to Grand Eorks. John A.

SOLD 20,000 SHARES YESTERDAY Great Deal of Speculation As to the Cause of the Advance, and Who Are Buying. There is something on regarding the Tron Mask mine which the local brokera do not know or will not tell. . For the last two wecks there has been a rise in the price of the stock of that company from 59 cents to 78 cents. Yesterday was a red letter day for Iron Mask, some 20,000 shares changing hands. . One of the leading brokers said this morning: “It is hard to say just what ia causing the atock of the Iron Mask to rise go rapidly and the demahd being so great. Some say it is the prospect of the suit with the Centre Star coming on for trialsoon. Others claim, that the Centre Star and War Eagle people are buying the loose stock on the market, with a view to finally getting the mine.” The Gooderham-Blackstock syndi- cate has for “some time held 60,000 shares of the stock. The Corbin people hold 291,000, which leaves 149,000 owned. by outsiders, and it is this stock that is being picked up in the open market. The demands yesterday came princi- pally from Spokane which indicates that the people from the other side are after the atock, although it- is not un- likely that vhey are buying for the Gooderham-siackstock people. At any rate Iron Mask is on the rise and mining men are watching closely its move- ments, A FLURRY IN JUMBO. Manager R. M. Galusha in Toronto Floating the Property. Local stock brokers report an increas- ed demand for Jumbo stock and credit the movement to the fact that superin- tendant Galusha is now in the east for the purpose of selling the mine to Tor- onto. capitalists, with fair prospecta of success. Today’s Quotations. The market was somewhat dull today, and Deer Park showed signa of weaken- ing. Monte Christo haa been selling freely in Toronto all the way from 13 to 15 cents, nearly 60,000 shares of stock changing hands. There seems to be no _ reason for the demand for this stock, as the property is in exactly the eame state as when the directors closed her down. There is quitea flurry in Jumbo and Tron Mask is in great demand. Brandon & G Cr'wn25, Ga: Metal Market. New York, Dec. 6. —Copper—quiet; brokers’ price, $12.76; exchange price; $12.7734.
