Tyson wins boxing license LAS VEGAS (AP) Mike Tyson was given his boxing license back today after pleading with officials to stop the "torture" and allow him to return to the sport he once dominated. Tyson told the Nevada Athletic Commission that he has suffered enough for biting Evander Holyfield's ears during a title fight last year and that he needs to box to make living.

Chairman Elias Ghanem said Tyson had made many mistakes in his life, but deserved another chance. The commission voted 4-1 to restore the fighter's license. Tyson was near tears when he heard that he could return to the ring, as his supporters hugged him and patted his back. "I want to warn you, from my view, this will be your last chance," Ghanem said. "You will either conduct yourself in accordance with our rules and regulations, or probably never fight again in Nevada." Muhammad and Magic Johnson testified on the boxer's behalf, saying that despite all of Tyson's problems, he should be allowed another chance.

"There are only a few punishments worse than being denied a right to make a living," Ali said in a statement read by his wife, Lonnie, who sat next to the ailing boxing great. Ali was GOP 'Dream Team' to raise funds in Elko Nevada's self-proclaimed "Dream Team," The Republican Party candidates for state and federal offices, will be appear at a white-glove, $100 per plate fund-raiser at the Stockmen's Casino and Hotel Saturday.

Electrical al problem impacts Ruby Hill Homestake Mining Ruby Hill Mine near Eureka was forced to shut down its new mill last week after an electrical problem that created a lot of black smoke, General Manager Bruce Thieking said. The mill was back in operation on a limited basis Friday, and Thieking said today Ruby Hill can make up the four lost days of gold production once the mill is at full capacity, probably in three weeks. Ruby Hill Mine just went into full commercial production in January, and Thieking said September was the mine's best month so far, producing gold at a cash cost of $94 an ounce, the lowest yet.

Wire news summary: Sierra ski season off to early start STATELINE (AP) Heavenly Ski Resort at Lake Tahoe is getting a jump start on winter.

Thanks to cold evening temperatures which allow for the production of man-made snow, the resort opened one run yesterday on the mountain's California side. About 150 skiers and snowboarders turned out for a sneak preview of the winter ski season. Spokesman Monica Bandows it is the earliest the resort has ever opened. The resort will be open on a day-to-day basis, as long as temperatures stay cold enough to make snow or until nature comes through with some white stuff of its own, she said. "Weather permitting, we'll stay open and keep opening more terrain," Bandows said.

Deadly crash KAFR EL-DAWAR, Egypt (AP) Rescue teams found five more bodies today after a train jumped the tracks and crashed through shops in a town in northern Egypt. At least 52 people were killed. Another 101 people were injured when the train derailed Sunday in Kafr el-Dawar, health official Nabih Yousef Shaltout said. The town is 19 miles southeast of Alexandria, where the train departed. A preliminary government report said passengers had tampered with brake linkages between cars, causing them to fail.

People often hop on packed Egyptian trains and ride on the roof or between the cars. However, a report from police in Alexandria said the train's driver was behind schedule and trying to make up for lost time. He died in the crash. A giant crane lifted the last three cars of the train early today, revealing five more mangled bodies. Later, authorities called off the search for survivors.

Israel attack BEERSHEBA, Israel (AP) A Palestinian threw two hand grenades near a bus stop crowded with Israel soldiers this morning, injuring at least 64 people during a delicate phase of the Mideast peace talks. Three victims were in serious condition after the rush-hour assault in Beersheba, a desert town 50 miles south of Jerusalem. About a third of the injured were soldiers. The assailant, whose attack prompted Israel today to suspend most negotiations with the Palestinians during a summit in Maryland, was identified as a supporter of the militant group Hamas. He was in custody.

After the 8 a.m. blasts, army-issue olive duffel bags and clothes were strewn on the pavement near a glass-covered bus stop. A soldier's polished black boots, with the socks stuffed inside, were left on a traffic island. Announcing the suspension of negotiations on all but security issues on the fifth day of a Mideast summit, David Bar-Illan, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said: "The Palestinian Authority is not doing anything to crack down on terrorist activity." Texas storms NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (AP) Rain deluged the Texas Hill Country again today, washing away fences and hampering the search for three children carried off by floodwaters. At least 14 people have died in Texas storms since the weekend.

National Guardsmen had hoped to search by helicopter for a missing 6-year-old boy, and Gov. George W. Bush had scheduled a flight to survey damage in San Antonio. Both flights were canceled because of severe weather. Thousands of cattle were set loose by a rain-swollen San Marcos River that washed away pens, barns and hundreds of miles of fences.

New Braunfels suffered some of the worst damage when the normally tranquil Guadalupe River rushed over its banks, flooding neighborhoods and sending 1,400 people to shelters for the night. The local newspaper, the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, put its Sunday newspaper out on Monday. Thirty miles to the south, San Antonio got up 20 inches of rain over the weekend. banned from the sport for years for refusing military induction. In one pointed exchange with commissioner James Nave, Tyson said he was humiliated by the hearing and the psychological tests the commission told him to undergo last month.

"Please don't torture me any longer, sir," Tyson told the panel. "I made a mistake. Other fighters have made more. I'm just a human being trying to live my life." Tyson also denied accusations that he punched and kicked two men following a fender-bender in Maryland in August. "I'm not going to kill anybody.

I'm not a mass murderer," Tyson told the commissioners when asked about his ability to control his temper. In their report, released last week, the doctors concluded that the former heavyweight champ was depressed but would probably behave if allowed to fight again. Dr. Ronald Schouten, one of a team of experts who examined Tyson last month at Massachusetts General Hospital, told the commissioners today that the boxer's low self-esteem was a "chronic situation" but that he could be helped through treatment. He said Tyson was so upset by losing his license that he most likely would not do anything to jeopardize it in the future.

"The impact of losing his license has been devastating," Schouten said. "He wants his job back." Tyson lawyer James Jimmerson opened the hearing by reminding the commissioners that his client has done everything asked of and urging them to meet him halfway. He said Tyson was approaching the hearing with a sense of "honesty, fairness and doing the right thing." "You have his livelihood and his life in your hands," Jimmerson said. Now, with his boxing license back, Tyson could fight again as early as December. A loss would have put him out of the sport for at least another year.

The aging heavyweight owes the Internal Revenue Service $13 million in unpaid taxes despite having made more than $100 million in purses since his release from prison in 1995 after serving time for rape. At one point, Ghanem told Tyson that he shouldn't feel he's being picked on. "Forgive me for thinking that," Tyson responded as the crowd laughed. "I love you all." County board heads east for meeting Eastern Elko County residents will get their shot at Elko County Commissioners Wednesday when the board meets in Montello and Wendover. The board is set to meet in Montello first, at 10 a.m., to hear reports on the town's water system, fire station expansion and park project.

The board also will use the meeting to canvas residents about their interest in filling the vacancy created by the death of Tecoma Township Justice of the Peace Judith Ellsworth. Ellsworth and her husband had held the position since the 1980s. County Manager George Boucher said depending on the interest shown by residents, county commissioners could decide on a process to appoint someone to the position or hold a special election. The commission will adjourn from Montello in time to make a scheduled 1:30 p.m. meeting in Wendover, a regular stop on the board's rural meeting agenda.

In Wendover, the commission will first hear from city officials and then a report on the construction of the Interstate 80 Ola Grade interchange. Jackpot, Jarbidge, Mountain City, Tuscarora, Midas and Spring Creek matters also will be discussed. about the electrical problem to the Eureka County Commission tomorrow. "The fortunate thing is it could been a lot worse," he said, noting that no one was hurt last Monday, and the high heat was contained in the motor control center. "Mining continued and the backup generator provided power, but we couldn't run the crushing and grinding circuits and the adsorption: and desorption circuits," said.

"We continued heap leaching." Thieking said that "essentially, a connection of a very high current conductor had a problem, and it caused a lot of smoking" and intense heat. Wiring in the motor control room had to be replaced. The center was designed to contain such problems, It is a concrete room that contains no combustibles, he said, also reporting that the Eureka Volunteer Fire Department responded to the smoke, but didn't have to use any water. Homestake and suppliers sent experts to the scene as did the state to investigate the cause of the problem, which happened after a four-hour planned power outage by the Mt. Wheeler power cooperative.

Thieking said the equipment ran non-stop until the outage, and the problem occurred when the equipment was restarted after the cooldown. Dorothy G.
