which was used as polishing department, where
fine pantels and gratngs were stored and where the
most costly machinery was located. From the third
floor the flames spread ali the building and
burned their way to the two floors above, used for
storage purposes The roof succumbed next and part
of it fell in. The Names then broke out afresh
and the blaze sprang through the roof all along the
front of the building snd rapidly covered the three
upper stories. The efforts of the fremen shortly
aferward got the confagration under control but
until the entire front part of the building had been
thoroughly Quilted and all the aud stock on
hand had been either badly damaged or DESTROYED.

SALTED OR NOT?
The Dubois County, Indiana, Silver Mine
Said to Fail to Pan Out.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 10-Since the salt
ed" 6iamon6-fields were discovered in Kentucky
twenty years ago there has probably been no
richer find than the silver-bearing quartz of Du-
bois county, Indiana. Recent developm ents
it is alleged, tend to prove that these sill
mines, which have been most extern
sively advertised, have been 'salted," and
that gigantic fraud has probably been
perpetrated. It has been given out that quartz
from the Indiana mines assayed $50 to $50 a ton,
and at the same time it was stated that it would
pay to crush quartz that assayed only So. Some
OF the quartz was sent to Philadelphia and
these figures said to be based the assay
erected on the land in question at expense
of several thousand dollars, and it is said that
this mill is grinding out grist that amounts to
81. 600 day, which is rather better than the
average Indiana saw-miIl does.
The quartz containing all this wealth comes
from a hill that runs along the bank of a stream
in Dubois county. The geological formation is
such that the silver bearing quartz would dip
where about the Falls of Rough, Green river,
or above Owens borough This fact, of course,
interests the Kentuckians, and it is this which
led the Kentucky Geological Survey to make an
investigation. Some gentlemen from this State
went over to the silver mine, accompanied by
a representative Of the Geological Survey.
They brought back some of the quartz, and DR..
Peters, of Lexington. the chemist of the survey,
and hlr: Fischer, of Frankfort who is also
ployed by the State Geologist, have made care
full analysis of the quartz. A Louisville chemist
WAS intrusted with the business. Prof
Proctor. State Geologst says they have subject
ed the stone to the most careful analysis, but
without finding the slightest indication of silver.
They have sent a lot of the stone to Washington
to further satisfy the people of that section that
there is nothing in il.
