Between eight and nine o'clock
Sunday night the usual quiet Of our
sleepy town was disturbed By the
cries Of FIRE and the loud ringing OF
the fire alarm. The fire was discov.
cred, in the saloon of Evariste Ira.
han, a large single story wooden
building on the northeast corner Of
Concord and Jefferson streets. Mr..
w. P. Miller who happened to be
passing the building had his atten.
ton arrested by the smell of burning
wood and upon investigating found
clouds Of smoke pouring from the
northeast corner of the building. To
his p%romptness in crossing the street
to the truck house and ringing an
alarm is no doubt due the prompt
extinguistment of what might have
5M-o &-= =@A
proven a very disastrous conhagra
ton. Both fire companies turned
out promptly with their apparatus,
but when the suction hose Of Pro.
tector No. Is engine was being low
cred into the FIRE well on Madeleine
square it suddenly parted from its
connection and left the engine help
less. Examination dissolved the
fact that the hose had been cat for
about onethird Of the distance of its
circumference and its weight had
caased the remaining portion to give
way. The Hook & Ladder people
did excellent work tearing off the
burning weather boarding and put
ting ont the FIRE with the aid of
buckets. The FIRE was Of incendiary
origin having been started in three
places in the building, in the little
cabinets behind the bar and in the
rear Of the wareroom. The stock of
liquors and most of the fixtures were
saved. The total loss will be about
$500. The building and stock we
understand was insured in New Or.
leans companies, Monday evening
jim Roger was arrested on a suspi
cion of having fred the Building.
He is an employe Of Mr.. Trahan
and had a KEY to the building. |

tisy Council.

At an adjourned regular meeting held Thursday, Jan. 9, a full board present. Warrants were ordered drawn for Si6 B in favor of the c. H. X T. Co. in favor of $. Hills for S9.50 and F. Yaple for 5 cents. SIG 90 was ordered transferred from the general to the building fund. The license committee asked further time to act upon certain matters. c. D. Gage appeared before the council and a-ked for the lease Of sufficient ground at the water works to get to their ice works which are located upon the ground. Councilman Smith offered resolution granting the right of way for s2 50 per year. The Mayor ruled the resolution out of order on account of lease already being held by HasIer & Watt. Councilman smith appealed from the decision Of the chai-. This appeal was ignored and vote being taken on the resolution resulted in a tie vote. Smith and Hare voting aye and Fuss and PTindiville voting no; the Mayor cast his vote no and the resolution was defeated. At the sug- gestion of Chief Ryan the Council de. clGred the firing of small rifles by boys inside the city limits a nuisance. The question of the lease and the pro posals for bids for the City Water Works was referred to the committee on water.

In slluding to the copper deposits of South Eastern Arizona and New Mexico the Denver Republican says Some day an enormous amount of capital will be invested iu the develop ment of copper mines in New Mexico and Arizona. The wealth of the South West in copper is very far from being confined to one district. In Southwestern Arizona there are vast deposits of copper, some Of which is al most pure. When the demand for copper becomes great enough for the development of these deposits, the out put of the Southwest in that metal will make New Mexico and Arizona rank with Lake Superior county cop per production.
