DULUTH, Sept. 9.-Forest hres were
renewed again today in this region Dy
q heavy southwest gale. which steadi'y
increased in force. The sun was smut
ont and the horizon had a yellow coat
similar to that of the fatal Saturday OF
a week ago. There was great excite
ment here. The situation was lntensi'
fled by the breaking out Of forest fires
Ia the city limits. The fire crept
around in the underground at Oheata
and caused some apprehension. Then
an alarm came in from Duluth Heights,
a suburb, which is surrounded by tim
Der. The fire department sent de-
tachment, which later sent for tie hre
engine. Excitement was at lever
heat, for news had been coming OF the
sidetracking of 81. Paul d Duluth
passenger train because Of fires on all
sides of 1t; and Mora, on the Eastern
Minnesota road, was reported Oh fire.
Took Refuge In a River.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon the oper'
ator ut Mora, on the Eastern Mime
sofa railroad, while chatting with the
operator at Duluth about the danger OF
fire, suddenly broke the conversation,
saying: "I,'s getting fearful hot dow n
here. The people have nearly all taken
refuge in the Snake river. and I'll
have to follow unless there is lst.up." "
Just few minutes passed, and he SAID,
"I'Il fly" Tests of the wires few
minutes later proved they had gone
down. The people took warning In
time and are believed to be safe.
Danger Mt Other Places.
At Kerrick, the Inhabitants put in
tie afternoon fighting the fire, Tut in
the evening the danger was over. Bar
mum had narrow escape all afternoon.
At Kimberly, on the Northern Pa
cific, large gang OF railway laborers
saved the town.
There was state of terror among
the refugees OF Pine City. for it was
feared another cyclone of fire was at
hand. At 8 o'clock the wind shifted
from the southwest to the northwest,
thus driving back the flames, and al II
O'Clock they had almost entirely died
away. No danger is feared unless the
wind springs UT.
Mora In Immediate Danger.
ST.. PAUL, Sep. "a gale of wind
was blowing In the neighborhood OF
Mora and Milaca, on the Eastern Min
nesotu, this afternoon. and smoldering
forest fires were quickly famed into o
furious blaze, which for time
threatened Mora and Ground House.
The wind. however, has since
gone down and for the
present the danger is over. A train
crew is being kept ut Ground House
to help fight the flames should they
break out again, and take the people
to place OF safety if the fires get be-
yond control.
A sawmill and lumber yard at Soules
was destroyed, notwithstanding the
desperate efforts of the fire fighters, and
the loss will be heavy.
The last report from Mora was that
the town is in immediate danger.

Secretary Carlisle Will Render . De-
clslon Against Sugar Producers.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-Secretary
Carlisle is expected on Monday to rem
der a decision OH claims for sugar
bounties unpaid prior to August q,
1894. when the tariff bill became law.
The amount involved is about $3.50, 900.
Secretary Carlisle will hold that under
the law he is not only unauthorized &c
make these payments. but is specifically
Instructed by the new tariff act not
to pay them. The sugar producers
contend that congress had no right and
did not intend to prohibit the payment
OF bounties on sugar produced while
the act of 1890 was in force, and
licenses issued under that act are IN
the nature of contracts and carry with
them the obligation Of the government
to pay the bounties provided for.
These licenses expire annually June 80.

Mexico'S Deserted Cities.

Mapimi, Mexico, May 28, 1S94.- American arch@ologists who left here a week ago on an exploring trip to the recently discovered si- lent and deserted city in the Sierra Madre Mountains southwest of here have just returned, and bring back with them a sensational story of the discovery by them of another hidden city in the same locality, situated about five Spanish leagues north of the first mentioned city. The leader of the party is c. W, Pantion, of Philadelphia, who has been in Mexico for several years, employed in the exploration of the Aztec ruins of the states of Oaxa- ca and Chiapas.
 He states .hat the second of these hidden cities is very similar to the first in appearance and that they were evidently at one time twin capitals of a wealthy district of a great empire which existed long be- fore the time of the Aztecs. The two cities are connected by a series of underground passages which are hewn out of the solid rock of the precipitous mountains, and it was while exploring one of these pas sages that the second city was dis covered. It also lies in the bottom of deep basin of the mountains and no exit except by way of the underground passages could be found.
 This was all of the information that could be obtained from the party in regard to these wonderful discoveries, Their story is believ- ed by many, while others consider it mythical. Mir. Pantion will or ganize larger party in the City of Mexico and continue the work of exploring the two cities.

 Millions of pounds of "shoddy" in the shape of old rags and worn- out woolen garments, are bought from over the water, which is mix ed with little something to hold It together, and sold to the extent of millions of dollars.

It is the general opinion of the people of Harqua Hala that the two men found dead on the desert a short time ago and reported to have died of thirst, were really murdered by the two men who left the Con gress mine with them. Az soon as they found how public opinion stood at Harqua Hala they left and passed through Phoenix last Thurs day. Where they went from there no one seems to know. The bodies were found in their blankets and all who know anything about it knows that when 8 person dies of thirst he first loses his reason and would not be able to roll himself in blanket and lie down calmly to die.

News arrived at this office yes terday that Spence Bros, the large cattle and sheep owners of Pinos Wells, eastern Valencia county, had been indicted for cattle steal ing on over 100 different charges, Some time ago it was said that these gentlemen had been hand ling cattle in an illegal manner, but the Stock Grower refrained from publishing 1t on account of their not having been arrested and being reticent about thinking that men of as high standing as they would be guilty of the acts charged to them. If these men have been guilty of the stealing laid at their door it will be sorry day for them, and others who have been engaged with them will be little more careful about how and when they use their branding irons. The cattlemen of the territory should not delay in organizing for self protection. Let stringent bylaws be adopted offering liberal rewards for thieves, and at the same time let them be so arranged that small cat tlemen of the range will be equally protected with the big. A man with one hundred head of cattle cannot be expected to pay as much for the apprehension of thief as one that counts his cattle by the thousands, but as his few head are of equal value in proportion, and probably the loss of one would en- tail on him a more severe financial strain than the loss of many head by one who has thousands, he should receive equal consideration in all meetings and conventions. When an agreement is arrived at between the large and small cattle men so that they may work for mutual protection, then the whole sale thieving going on now can probably be efecually stopped Stock Grower and Farmer.
