About Ills yesterday morning fire was
discovered In the Academy of Music build.
ing. and half an hour afterward it. was
entirely destroyed. Great damage was
done TO adjacent property.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Flames were first discovered leaping
through the roof of the stage end of the
building. Before the fire department
could reach the scene the entire structure
was one mass Of seething fire, the flames
rushing through the doors, windows and
the roof. The fire seemed to have been
one of the quickest and ~fiercest on record.
and the adjoining buildings were with
great difficulty saved from total destruc-
ton. The News building and the Good
block were both badly injured by the FIRE
and by water. One life is known to have
been lost, that of Tim Enrilht, barkeeper
for John Kinneary. He slept in a room
in the rear of the saloon, and no one
knew he was there except his employer
who did not arrive until the fire had COM
plete possession Of the building. His
body has been found among the ruins.
1t was burned beyond recognition, the
head having been parted from the body.
Another man, who was employed about
the theater, is said to be missing, and it
is feared that he, too, may have been
burned to death. The total loss is given
by the Neics as $3.50, 900 of which $40, OOO
is covered by insurance. The loss of the
Neaos is estimated at 1926, 900, fully in
sured.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
OF want Of weight in the back. loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or nelghboring organs. At
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
aatulency, uneasiness ofthe stomach, etc.
A moisture like Precipitation, producing. a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching. and effscting . per-
manent cure. Price so cents. Address

During a visit to that fourishing min
ing camp, last Monday, THE LEADER re-
porter learned that general activity pre-
vailed everywhere, from the Adams Con-
solidated Mining company's property to
the Table mountain, covering a. distance
Of reven miles. The former company is
engaged in putting in place magnificent
machinery for the concentration Of ores.
and the superintendent expects to have
everything in readiness by the LIST OF Aug
ust. On the Carbonate Belle property a
$1,000 contract for development work has
just been completed, and the mine shows
up better than ever. Good Judges claim
there is in the shafts and tunnels on this
property over $1,000, 900 worth of ore in
sight. The owners anticipate a rich har-
vest il they succeed in securing machinery
and reduction works that will get the gold
and silver from the Carbonate Belle ores,
which are. refractory. In the mineral
belt surrounding Jawbone cany on, the
center. of the mining district, man fine
81
leads have been discovered, the ores of
which carry gold, silver and copper.
Development work en- these mines is pro-
crossing rapidly, and it is reported that
extensive operations will soon be resumed
on the Fairview and the King David
mines, which have been thoroughly tested
and are known u contain large bodies Of
ores carrying gold, silver and copper.
The other mines in the district extending
northward to Table mountain and beyond,
are yet prospects. but most of them have
been explored sufficiently to assure the
owners that they have valuable claims
which will become producing mines as soon
as the necessary work can bedone on them.
Az a whole, the mines of Silver Crown
to day look better than they ever did be-
fore. The outlook for a rich mining camp
so near Cheyenne is most encouraging.
1t needs only a little nerve and hard work
and the expenditure of some money in
development work to make the Silver
Crown a veritable golden crown for the
fortunate mine owners and indirectly a
source of great wealth to all the inhabi-
tants OF Cheyenne.

ANNAPOLIS. ND, WEDNESDAY, EVENING, JUNE o. 1885,
500 md she operator.

The old telegrapher was talking a.
volubly as ever, and he told this story
about the late Gen. Anson Stager, which
was new to me: Away back in tho
early DAYS. he said, s,when the print
ing machines were gradually going out,
as operators gradually learned to read
by sound, Gen. Stager. not then q gem
eral, was division superintendent on >
western telegraph line, with hcadquar-
ters at Cleveland. AT an Office farther
west, say indianapolis. was an unusual
bright and expert operator, who had
just one fault, ,-he would get drunk He
was very rapid sender for those DAYS
and On extremely good receiver BY
sound, even for these DAYS. But, as
| say, he would get drunk. and once
drunk he was useless for days. The
chief operator at indianapolis had COM
planned of him to Stager, who had
threatened him with dismissal IL he got
drunk again, and yet he was drunk
again. The chief operator tclegraphed
the sad fact to Stagcr and Stager re-
piled: Call me up when Jones comes
in; / want to talk to him. So when
Jones got sober and came into the In
dianapolis Office the chief operator told
him 70 'call up Stager at CLEVELAND, !, who
wanted to speak to him. So Jones
called up the Cleveland telegraph
Office and asked the operator to tell
Stager that he was awaiting what he
had to say at the indianapolis end of
the line. In few minutes Stager took
the Cleveland key and clicked over the
wire to Jones: i told you If you got
drunk again / would discharge you.
You have been drunk for three days.
What have you to say for yourselfP'
Now Jones knew that he had Just one
chance. Stager was learning to receive
by sound, and he wanted itthought that
he had learned. But Jones happened
to know that Stager could only read by
sound messages that were very slowly
sent. He knew that there were other
operators in the room with Stager at
Cleveland, and he calculated that Stager
would be equally unwillingeither to ask
in their presence that a message that
he could not read be repeated or to ask
them to assist him to read it. So Jones
pounded away at his key as rapidly as
he could for three minutes, sending off
of course, an absurd cock-and-bull
story, not one word of which did Stager
catch until Jones slowed down and
wound up with: And that's the way it
all happened. Instantly Stager re-
sponded: Very well. You may stay,
but don't do it again. - PbiLddeL Lrbi0
