Cotton In Flames.

OOSSOu A GtWSAoos
New ORLEANS, April 3.-One of the
most destructive cotton fires ever re-
corded broke out at 10 o'clock this
morning among some cotton on the
sidewalk in front of the fire-proof COM
press lon North Front fstree*. Tho
who saw smoke among the bales gave
the alarm Immediately. The depart
got at work quickly, but the wind was
so high and the cotton so dry that it
burned like tissue paper.
The district burned over is bounded
by Peters, Front, Thalia and Robin
streets. and the congresses destroyed
ase as follows: Fire Proof Pcnsoze
Bros, managers, South Front street,
southwest corner of Robin; Shippers
Boyd & Herrick, proprietors, South
Peters street, between Henderson and
Robin; Independence cotton yard,
South Peters street; Orleans cotton
compress, South Peters, between Tha-
liza and Terpsichore. The total amount
OF cotton burned as near as can now be
ascertained is estimated at 80, 600 bales,
held'by factors and commission mer-
chants and covered by their open poll
cies. Much Of this cotton will be sent
to the pickeries and saved, so that the
total loss will probably not exceed $50
per bale, making a; total on cotton of
between: 81, 0o0, 900 and 81, 500, 900. The
loss on congresses and sheds is esti-
mated at $3.50, 600. It'll thought that
the fire started from a cigarette which
some person threw among the cotton.

edy. Risky for them. For you, if

You're certain to be cured of it, or

you, or pay you, no matter how bad
your case, or Of how long standing.
Butts it so much of a risk !?
They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a time, but for all

curing the most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such =

The only question is-are you
willing to make the test, if the

If so, the rest is easy. You pay

unuer Cne provisions OF the grain and
warehouse law they had in their houses
as the natural accretions to their busi-
ness and denominated average, $4,000
bushels or Whereabouts, of wheat. It is
undoubtedly true that the elevator COM
panies were justified in assuming that
the wheat had become their property.
and the only criticism which can now
lie placed upon their action is that they
did not have it inspected and weighed
into the houses in the usual and regu.
lar manner.
STATE INSPECTION AND WEIGHING DE-
PARTMENT.
1t is a matter of congratulation to
the people of the whole state that the
integrity and efficiency of the state
service, both as to the inspection and
weighing of grain, is fully sustained by
the investigation. do not understand,
however, either from the disclosures of
the record, or the statements of coun-
sci, or the gentlemen representing the
Grain Growers association, that any
charge of serious nature is preferred
against either of those departments up
on such grounds. My impressions as
to their views in this regard are all the
other way.
1t can subserve no useful purpose to
further pursue this branch of the inves-
tigation. and leave it, trusting that
you will see your way clear to some ap-
propriate action.
SCREENINGS.
The evidence is conclusive as to the
charge that during the year 1889 there
was a large quantity of wheat shipped
from certain Of the houses at Duluth
under the name Of screenings. This
class of shipment embraced, l believe,
upward of 10000 bushels. It stands adj
mitted that this wheat was largely
shipped out at night and without either
inspection or weighing by the agents of
the state, However, think it may be
fairly assumed that the owners of the
wheat took counsel of their fears rath-
er than their prudence and intelligence.
The wheat 50 shipped was no doubt the
average of 10000 bushels to which I
have already called your attention; and
doubtless secret methods were adopted
for the purpose of averting public at
tsntion and disarming suspicion. The

THE STAR MINE.

II Is Sold, Snre Enoueh-The Leasers-

The Star mine. located in Star
gulch, about II miles from HALEY,
mas been sold. The price paid
is between sll2,500 and $4,000, OF
which $4,000 is cash. The purchaser
is Salt Lake company composed of
wealthy Mormons aud GentiIes; the
principal stakeholder is Arthur STAY
ner. the promoter of the Beet Sugar
Factory of Utah. The purchasers are
/ in possession of the property. the new
superintendent being W. H. c"aank")
Smith, superintendent of the Bullion
and Beck mines of Tintic, Utah, aud
formerly superintendent of the Belch-
er mine, on the Comstock lode. in
Nevada, which, under Mr.. Smiths
management, took front rank among
the foremost mines of the world, by
paying dividends aggreeating over
$18,00O,OOO. The TINES considers
his advent here as a very fortunate
one for this region.
The new owners intend to develop
the property vigorously, and to keep
the development ahead of the slopes.
The mine is now, of course, in bad
shape to yield ore, as the lease only
expired the 18th instant and leasers
seldom leave an ore. body in condition
for immediate stopping. But new
levels can be opened and new slopes
made within 60 or 80 days.
AS above stated a lease on this
property has just expired. The lease
was for one year to the 18th instant.
The leasers we're A. Wolters, Charles
Sonnleitner, and John r. Thomas.
They extracted about $4,000 worth
of ore, out of which they paid $4,000
ROYALTY to the owners, and divided
S24, 700 among Themselves total
profit of $4,000, or about IS per
cent.
Mr.. Smith having important busi-
ness elsewhere he will doubtless be
away a great deal. and his fore man-
John R. Thomas, one of the former
Ieasers-will have entire charge of
operations. AS John Thomas was
never known to ask any odds of any
one on any mining proposition, the
Star will undoubtedly be run for all
she Is worth.
