THE FIRE AT WARD.
How IL Originated and the Prop
erty Destroyed.

From a correspondent at Ward the SEN
TIsEL learns full particulars Of the late fire
at that place. 1t originated at about II
O'Clock A. NJ, in the old Postofice building
and soon communicated to the little vari-
ETY. store Of Mrs. Jackson, and thence to
the grocery establishment Of Mr.. Felsen-
thai. The wind was blowing a perfect gale
from the south at the time, and it was only
due to the almost s%uperhuman efforts Of
the people that a general coniagration was
averted. Mr.. Simpson, OF the Ward Re-
flex, was especially conspicuous in his efforts
to stay the progress Of the flames and save
property. Encouraged by his heroic ex-
ample, 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 $40, 900 to SIS, 900. Mrs. Jackson
lost her all, but the citizens very generously
raised a subscription of SITS for the imme-
diate relief Of herself and children. There
il deep sympathy in the community for the
unfortunate lady.
The burned district measures ZIG 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 naturally felt jubilant
over their splendid work, and made things
lively when the danger had passed.

wOoD RIVER.


No Cause for Excitement or a Rush.
Mr.. G. l.. Broy returned from the Wood
River region Monday evening. A SENTINEL
reporter yesterday had a conversation with
him regarding the outlook of That upper
country. To use Mr.. Broy's own words,
there is very little Of anything at all, to
justify all the talk that has been INDUCED
about the Wood River country. He says
that SO far as he could learn there has never
been a hole sunk in the whole country to a
depth OF two feet. If there are mines there
they remain to be found and developed.
The country is covered with NOW from two
to 20 feet deep. If there are towns inhab-
tied by people up there he failed to find
them. The entire population is comprised
OF three or four hunters and trappers, and
three or four Eureka prospectors, who are
waiting on Little Wood River for the snow
to disappear. All stories about mining
sales having been made, are utterly ground
less. Neither is it true that there is any
n trying to get mining machinery into
the country, as has hitherto been reported.
From present indications it will be the lat
ter part Of June, or the first of July before
the snow is out of the way. In short there
seems to be but very little basis for the
Wood River excitement and the threatened
exodus thither. Mr.. Broy's report will,
we have no doubt, knock the bottom out Of
the Wood River boom.

THE RUBY.DUNDERBERG.
Further Information from the Late
DEVELOPMENT.

The SENTINEL is 4 informed that the late
development on the 500-foot level Of the
Dunderberg is even more important than
was at first supposed. The ledge at this
point Is proven to have an average width
Of IA feet, whereas it was but 10 feet on
the 40O-foot level. This shows that the
lode steadily increases in size as it goes
down. The ore also is said to be Of better
grade. There is hardly q doubt that the
vein will be cut on the GOO level, showing
still greater width. The find is really a
portion Of the old Home Ticket mine,
being some distance west Of the Dunder-
berg lode proper. The -outcrop Of the
Home Ticket was larger and holder than
any other on the mountain, which may be
taken as an indication that immense bodies
Of ore will be found below. The strength
and regularity Of the vein encountered on
the 400 level, and again on the 500, are
features which give to the new develop
ment a degree Of importance as establish
ing the ~permanency and value Of the mine.
The Ruby underberg may indeed now be
classed among the great properties of this
wonderfully rich district. 1t affords the
SENTINEL unbounded satisfaction to be able
to chronicle these evidences of continued
improvement and wealth.
