The Fire at Ward.
Eureka Sentinel, April z.


From q correspondent at Ward the
Sentinel learns full particulars Of the late
FIRE at that place. It originated at about
IL o'clock A. NJ, In the old postofioe
building and soon communicated 10 the
little variety store OF Mrs. Jackson, and
thence to the grocery establishment Of
Mr.. Felsenthal. The wind wal blowing
a perfect gale from the south at the time,
and II was only due to the almost super
human efforts Of the people that . gen.
eral contiagration was aysrtsd. Mr..
Simpson OF the Ward REFLEX was ssps-
cially conspicuous in his efforts to stay
the progress Of the flames and save prop.
erty. Encouraged by his heroic exam
pie. says our correspondent, others were
induced to lend him energetic aid. A
building belonging to County Assessor
Woodbury. was torn down to prevent the
spreading OF the FIRE. Mr.. Felsenthal
was the heaviest loser, his loss being
estimated at from 10000 to Sic. 900.
Mrs. Jackson lost her all. but the citi.
zens very generously raised 4 subscrip-
ton OF Sl75 for the immediate relief Of
herself and children. There IL deep
sympathy in the community for the IL.
fortunate lady.
The burned district measures 116 feet
front. That portion Of the town south
and east narrowly escaped destruction.
As it was, some OF the houses were
pretty badly scorched. The boys natur.
ally felt jubilant owe their splendid
work. and made things lively when the
danger had passed.

WORSE AMI MORE OF 1T.

Tho House Committee on Mines ana
Mining at Washington have reported q
substitute mining bill. the principal
features OF which arc as follows: IL
allows locstors TO hold their claims for
..ons year before discovering mineral
dsposits," and gives them three years to
apply for patents. "No person will be
allowed to take up q second claim until
he shall either have struck minerals In
his first location or else have abandoned
IT," the object being Of course to prevent
the Wholesale absorption Of mineral
lands. Such q Law would DO OF very
doubtful benefit. to say the least, and
certainly would not facilitate the speedy
development Of any mining district. Any
locator should DO made to use all due
diligence in the development OF his
claim, mineral or no mineral. or give
some one else . chance at 1t. A CON.
pany Of twenty locators - 1900 feet
esch-might thus hold q whole ordinary
district in check for . year merely on
the first location. which is no improve
msnt over our present mining laws. As
to the second proposition, not allowing
Q person to take up . second claim until
he has developed or abandoned the first,
a. the t~elssraphed sketch Of the bill
does not specify otherwise it is presumed
to refer to any one particular district or
locality. and not to prevent q man or
company Of men from locating all the
claims they please in various districts
all over the continent. keeping up their
yearly holding work the same as they
have to do now.
A to the prevention Of the "vhole-
sale absorption OF mineral lands" in
that sort Of way. il were . thousand
times better for the mining interests and
the mineral development Of the country
that one locator. or . company OF To-
Gators. with the requisite capital to so
ahead with. should DO encouraged and
impellsd to do SO than that hundreds OF
good locations should be allowed to
remain idle and undevelopsd. merely be-
cause the locators are unable to work
them or are simply holding them for
speculation. The bill does not say that
capitalists may not buy up or otherwise
procure all the locations" they please,
therefore what is to ''prsvent the whole
sale absorption Of mineral lands?" Per.
haps. however. the mssger sketch Of the
bill tslsgraphed is not sufficiently eI.
plicit and comprehensive; il so. 1t should
not have been telsgraphed.
The fact OF the whole matter is that
the Committee have taken something in
hand that they apparently know but
little about or do not fully understand.
Unless they can improve upon the pres
emit existing mining laws they had better
drop the subject altogether and not
waste their valuable time in a matter
beyond their comprehension. The soun-
try 10 not suffering for want OF any such
mining legislation as they propose.
Their aim should DO to facilitate and
expedite. and not to impede the develop
nsnt OF the mining interests Of the
country.

This il the 10th OF March, but the days
are cold and the nights bright and very
cold. The winter may last three weeks
longer. and then there Is no chance for
the remnant OF live stock. The Oldest
inhabitant never saw such . terrible
winter as this has been. In many places
the dead bodies Of the deer have been
found standing in the forest frozen stiff,
The bounding deer turned into lump
OF ice, and the starving Indian trying to
cut a vsnison steak with an az would
make q picture OF life in northern lati.
tudes very interesting to those who
