How I Saved Two Lives.

1t was only few days after my
mother died that old Kate, the blind
woman who lived in the next room to
us, lost her lille dog, and offered 10
share with me her scanty means OF
living if could fill his place for her,
l was glad enough to accept her offer,
and so, day after day, led her through
the streets, and ct night shared her
humble cot. 1t was in that way,
though passing so often the same hous'
es, that 1 noticed and was attracted to-
wards the inmates of one.
1t was an elegant brick dwelling
with bow windows, and in that window
often sat lady with the gentlest ant

and brow like her own, but features ir

1t was all the same to old Kate
where led her so long as she kne"

A Fatal Fire.

Last Thursday, at about one O'Clock
p. NJ, a fire broke out in the basement
of the lodging house used by the en-
ployes of the Mount Cory reduction
works. There was no water with
which to fight the flames and the build.
ing and nearly all of its contents were
destroyed. The boarding-house stand
ing near was also DESTROYED. An
affecting casualty was connected with
the fire, Malcolm. the four.year old
son of Duncan Mci}eugall, the keeper
of the toll house, was missed and a
search in the ruins discovered his
body, burned past recognition. The
sickening spectacle was kept from his
mothers sight, as there was danger
that her agony of grief would destroy
her reason. The remains were taken
to Virginia for hwi,d, that evening.
Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved
parents on account of the suddenness
and the deplorable circumstances of
the loss The loss to the company will
amount to n little more than $1,000
and while there is naturally regret IL,
the destruction, the distressing death
of the little boy makes their loss seem
tritling. 1t has been impossible to
learn the origin of the fire. New
buildings were i'm nediatcly put up
and the work mt the mil is progress
ing without interruption.

Rich Soil.

People who look carelessly at the
ground around Hawthorne are sur
prised TO learn that under the thin
coating of sand is soil which is capa-
BILE of producing almost anything.
What is needed is some cheap water
supply, such as an artesian well or
wells. A plentiful supply exists in
Rose and Desert Creeks, bnt they are
at such a distance that the expense of
maintaining bitches, even If the reser-
vation lines were abandoned, would be
heavy. In Cat Creek there is water
which can be brought TO Hawthorne
cheaply; and which will some day
help out the supply used for household
purposes, but there is not enough for
! irrigation. Wells can be sunk to u
great distance without mourning the
great expense which attended such
undertakings in the infancy of the
business. Everything points 10 the
probability that @aler would be found
in large quantities, and a determined
effort to have the experiment tried
should be made. Almost incalculable
benefits would accrue to this section
should we be able to get few flow ing
wells 1t world add greatly tie the
material wealth and taxable property
of the county, so much so that the
first cost would soon be returned
People who live in Owens Valley say
that this soil is fully equal to that of
the Valley and it is possible that in
the near future Hawthorne Flat will
be peopled by an agricultural com
munity. 8 +

Ground Broken.

On last Thursday ground was broken
on The site of the new Court house. A
number of county officials and citizens
went to the spot and exhibited their
appreciation of the dignity of labor by
handling the shovel in the first trench.
There was some very enthusiastic
work where the ground had been soft.
cned. Several of the officers handled
the shovel with an experiences which
was suggestive of an anxious mother
giving sick child medicine with ~

spectators had blistered their hands to
their satisfaction, the party adjourned
