Fire at the Gilt Edge.

Last Saturday afternoon the ASSAY office
and store room at the Gilt Edge mine was
totally destroyed by fire from an explosion
of gasoline. The dire was most aggravating
as the mill was completed and nearly
everything in readiness to start up. All
the chemicals were destroyed and it will
necessitate a delay of ten days or more be-
fore a new supply can be secured. The loss
was about $ 2 900.

SAFETY IN A FAST STEAMER,

Such Vessels as the Campania Must of
Necessity BE Strong.
A ship that can make a VOYAGE to
New York and back in fortnight will
earn ffty-two freights in the year, in
stead of twenty-six of the boats of
twenty years ago, says the Saturday
Review. The crew costs no more, if
the coal does, and the earnings are
double. But there is yet another view
of the matter. The late Sir William
Pearce, who began these fast boats by
the building of the Arizona, and whose
successors at Fairfield have built the
Campania, once asked friend, whose
imagination reeled at the idea of
twenty-five knot boat, whether he
would not prefer to go down in fast
boat in preference to meeting an
lgnominous death in an ocean tramp.
The humor of the sentiment lies in the
fact that it is the ocean tramp that al
ways goes down in the case of 6 col.
lision, and it is the fast boat that sends
the tramp down. Parliamentary hui
manitarians should see to this. Surely
their reckless ingenuity is equal to the
discovery of some way of preventing
people from choosing their mode of
drowning. Those who know most
about boats know that the safe boat is
the fast boat, because the fast boat
must of necessity be strong. The fast
and strong boat never waits for the
waves to hustle and buffet it; it goes
through them. Once in awhile, it is true,
an equinoxmay contrive gale that will
trouble even the Campania, but wave
requires time to gather itself together
and spend its strength, and fast
boat of the right build does not wait.
There are, of course, fast fair-weather
boats, designed to make ''record" pas
sages in sunshine, which do so, but
which founder in the trough of the sea
when the waves roll high.

A warm climate and creeping things
go together. According to statistics
compiled by the general government
of the state of Tabasco, Mexico, 500, 900
lizard skins were shipped to the United
States from that state last year. This
peculiar industry is carried on by hun
dreds of natives, who capture the wild
tropical lizards without difficulty.
Thousands of the skins are marketed
in Mexico, while large quantities are
exported to European countries. 1t is
estimated that fully 100000 lizards
were slaughtered for their skins in the
state of Tabaseo alone last year.

Constable VIM. Fellows has been on
alhot trail since Monday morning chas-
ing the Indians who stole the barrel of
wine from w. G. Deputy on the north
side of the river. The Indians were
having high old jinks when the officer
swooped down on the reservation and
captured three of the redskins. Be-
fore Judge Austin yesterday, one OF the
indians admitted that he was one of
the five that stole the wine and gave
the names of the other tour. Consta-
bic Fellows accompanied by Deputy
Frank Keves and an interpreter return
ed for the other guilty four yesterday.
Tempe is indeed fortunate in having
peace officers that are not backward in
doing their duty.
C. T. Prall, of the Consolidated Canal
company, has removed his headquarters
to Tempe for the present, pending the
removal of 100000 feet of lumber that
recently arrived for that enterprising
corporation. The teams were kept busy
yesterday hauling some of the heavy
timber to the canal, distance of six
teen miles, where work is now in
progress building the boat that is to
hold the monster dredger of the south
west. When this gigantic piece of ma
chinery is in place, it will remove the
earth at the rate OF 1000 cubic yards
day. The capacity of the scoop is two
cubic yards, and some idea of the size
of the machine may be obtained when
it is known that one of the arms meas.
ures 12x12x68 feet long. With such a
machine at work, the south side can
easily count the days to the completion
of the canal and smile at the prosperity
that stares them in the face.

COST OF BEING in THE SWIM.


Occasionally It Involves Visit to the
Pawnshop-A Queer Case in Point.
To be in the swim in New York re-
quires from twenty-five thousand to
one hundred thousand dollars a year.
Among the -four hundred" and people
adjacent to that charmed circle the
struggles to maintain a position
against the inroads of extravaganza
would be extremely pathetic if they
were but known. The nav of the
plebeians who supply the necessaries
is always open and it sometimes swal
lows regulations as well as fortunes.

Gently unbent himself with a few anec-

New York society in these days sad
ly needs ready money. When the
tradesman begins to shut dowH the
trouble commences. l remember a
year or SO ago friend of mine called
upon family acquaintance on Fifth
avenue. He was invited informally to
dine. He accepted, and it was the
most unfortunate thing he could have
done. The family were compelled to
send out for dinner, and 1 believe it
took all the ready money in the house.
Their butcher and grocer had simply
shut down on them, and they have
since gone into involuntary retirement.
At the Patriarch balls mother and
daughter were the most handsomely
dressed women in the room. To make
a long story short, Mrs. X. had pawned
magnificent diamond necklace il
order to get her gowns from the dress
maker. Some time after she redeemed
the necklace, and her jeweler sub
sequently discovered that the gems
had been replaced by paste stones. A
detective was placed on the case, but
the pawnbroker learned who his Gus
toners were and threatened exposure
if arrested. The family did not pros
ecute."
