The bid on the mail route between Crested Butte and Gothic went for $276 per annum—just $23 per month—barely enough to pay for horse feed. Evidently some one wants to walk and live on mountain scenery. Speaking of mail contracts, Allan Hodges did not get his route by about $300. Some poor hayseed is badly stuck.

The Club held a special meeting last night and unanimously decided to offer Corbett and Mitchell $75,000 each to have the fight come off at Marble. In addition to this they offered to give the contestants a free ride on Tucker’s bicycle line and a body guard to pass Cumming’s place; a free bath at the Hot Springs; free hot Scotch at Leggetts, and a marble monument to the one that gets killed.
