While Messrs. Ringo and Tual. of Arcadia,
were passing Baldwin Bros planning mill,
shortly after dark last Saturday evening.
they observed a bright fire in the engine
room. They forced an entrance and, a. the
names had not yet gained a headwav, soon
succeeded in extinguishiug the fire, but, had
the discovery taken place few moments
| later, the whole building would likely have
| been consumed. The fire originated from
cushion OF straw which bad been placed
on the boiler to dry by Buck Martin, the
teamster for the Messrs. Baldwin. In due
time the straw dried and ignited, and in a
little longer Buck would have had first
class bonfire. Mister Martin, be more
careful in future.

mistaken last week in stating that the stock

that the meeting was called for the purpose

known As the "Farmington Mining and
Company" and hasa paid-up
capital of -, 900. The officers are Rob't

tary: and F. Rodach, Treasurer. 1t is like
", however, that the 1900 purchase, men
toned last week viii be made during the
