Property within the city limits is too high priced to be utilized as resi- dence property, when better and more comfortable homes can be secured in these beautifully situated additions at small cost. The man who cares to investigate the future growth of Phoenix and vicin- ity will readily come to the conclusion that within the next six years its popu- lation will reach 10000 or 30,000, and in order to accommodate this pushing bus tling throng business houses, as well as residences, will seek the additions here mentioned, and their cash value thereby be enhanced tenfold.

Francisco Collar Manufacturing Company,
and the Clarke estate, which owned the
building. The loss of Hoffman, Alexander
81 Co. alone-the burning UP of their stock
they put at $500, coo, which may be rather
high.
The building was an old one at the north
east corner of Bush and Battery streets,
and was probably worth $4,000 as a liberal
estimate Mrs. Clarke, its owner, lives IN
San Jose.
Last nights losses were well covered by
insurance, because in the fight between
the companies no risk that could be OBJ
tanned has been overlooked, and the spot
was favorable one owing to the non-com-
bustible material of all the buildings In
that particular locality and the fact that
the business there was not OF a KIND 10
give agents much worry.
From what Fire Marshal Towe and Cap
tain Comstock of the Fire Patrol were able
to discover on the scene, and from the
statement of Isaac Hoffman, the ire must
have originated on the second floor OF
Hoffman, Alexander & Co.'s establish
ment, in the cutting department. Inc
employees were in the habit of leaving at
o'clock Saturday afternoons, and 1t is sup
posed that they did, as was their won't. In
less than three hours later the big stock OF
clothing was consumed.

turned in it may be said to have done its
work. because after that nothing but the
naked walls of the two-story brick build
ing in which it occurred could be saved.
L sprang up with the suddenness Of an
explosion, and when the crowds of the
curious arrived to see the work OF the de-
stroying element the whole interior of
the building was mass OF raging flames.
The water-tower was the means doubt
less o. keeping it from spreading. The de-
rartment got to the scene as soon as it was
possible for it TO do so, and by hard work
succeeded in preventing confagration
much more expensive to the insurance
men, for adjoining the Quilted building are
the establishments of some pretty wealthy
firms.

last nights fire were: Hoffman, Alexander

The Horse Show Association
Stakes Captured by Can't
Dance.
WORTH $500 TO THE WINNER
The Elkton Stables Good Jumper,
10 C, Adds Another to His List
of Victories.

Good judges say Can't Dance is colt
with a future before him. He certainly
showed himself worthy of his great sire,
Longfellow, by his game and impressive
win of the rich Horse Show Association
stakes worth $500 to the winner, run off at
Ingleside racecourse yesterday. The
youngster took seven-furlong dash, the
distance of yesterdays race ON Thursday
in such handy fashion that he made
many friends, going to the post second
choice. Sallie Clicquot, with top-weight
112 pounds, reigned favorite, her closing
odds being to 5. Not few thought the
Spreckels entry Ravelston a better colt
than he has yet been called upon TO show,
and, as third choice, many pasteboard
bore his name. The Santa Anita stables
Ramiro was called upon to shoulder 11S
pounds, and in the slushy going, his
chances did not look the best,
which accounted for the tempting price
of 10 to 1 laid against him. The
other five starters looked q trifie out Of
their class and the bookmakers were lib
eral with the chalk. At the post, SaIlie
Clicquot was inclined to bad behavior, re-
fusing to line up with her field. Starter
Caldwell finally sent them away all well in
motion, with Can't Dance, Ramiro and
the latter, sent his mount to the front, and
with the favorite at his side but head
back, the two raced in this manner to the
stretch, Bergen. on Can't Dance, content
ing himself with third position. The riders
on the three leaders apparently had differ
ent ideas of the best going to the stand.
Martin, on Sallie Cliquot, Rugged the rail;
Piggott, on Ravelston, came down
nearly the center of the course, and
Bergen chose the far outside. Less
than a furlong from the finishing point,
Ravelston had Saliie beaten, and if Pig
gott could keep the heavy-headed young
ster together the stake looked his. The
fast pace he had set told on him, however,
and when Bergen on Can't Dance made
his final effort Ravelston could not respond
and lost the rich prize by head. The
time, :3234, was good considering the con-
dition of the track The favorite finished
good third. After Weighing in, Bergen
mounted the winner again, and took down
the silken bag containing the coin, which
hung suspended from the wire.
The balance of the racing was good, and
the fiue weather drew a large attendance.
Favorites landed two purses, with two Sec
ono chances and an outsider in front of the
other events.

Jake and the Catamount.

A great many people in Washington
know old John Jacobs, the good-natured
and lengthy Texan, who spends about
three months of the year in Schmid' s bird
store and the remainder in Texas and Old
Mexico, trapping hooking birds. parrots
and other things for his Washington prin-
cipal. Those who know Jake know him as
a raconteur of no mean ability. Such of
his friends-and the genial Jake, as has
beer said, has many of them-will be in
terested in q com munication received from
him yesterday by Mr.. Schmid.
The letter deals mostly with the busl-
ness part of the expedition, but there is a
chapter devoted to telling how the writer
did not capture Catamount. This is g.
literary gem, and is reproduced without
addition or emendation, and as it stands
is a worthy consort of some of the best
efforts of Bret Harte. 1t says in part:
at Just got back off my quail trip, gon 8
days got 40 quail, went way down on the
Border tn widest Country I ever saw and
have saw some wilds before. But that
Country takes the Cake. Wild Cats, Gait

thing for Ed to have for wlnder decora-
ton, so told the Mexican / had with me

/ tied my pony to tree and took down
my rope and the Mex dubbed him out.
By the time he hit the.dirt and made two
or three jumps / had my Irvine on him.
When the rope frightened on him he made
one scream and turned on me, and in less
than the time it takes me to make one

have time to get it. I needed another
hand; it's the first time ever knew was
one hand. 1t took the two l had to keep
the sun of gun out of my face. The Mex

knife and cut the rope and jerked it off
me, and the old catamount went coyoting
into the woods with part OF my lariat to
him. He can have it; l don't want it.

thing" is the explanation the firm gave.
That's ALL
There was some incidental damage done
to the basement of Levi Strauss Il Co., in
the big four-story brick building, next to
that of Mrs. Clarke, on Battery street,
owing to the water running into it, and
the three-story brick building occupied by
G. l.. Haskell. the harness merchant, on
Bush street, was considerably scorched.
Its third story became ablaze, but the
damage by the red fiend itself to this build
ing was not great. Mr.. Haskell was made
to suffer considerably by water, however,
because of the deluging of the third floor
to put the fire cut there.
When to-day the losses of all are put
together they may foot UP an actual total
of $500, 900.
The tiremen of engine company 2,
through still alarm, were the first to dis
cover that the building was IN flames, and
they Immediately turned in an alarm. At
1886 P. NJ. general alarm was sounded,
and in few moments eight engines were
playing streams upon the flames through
the upper windows, but a hard fight en-
sued before the blaze, which lit up the
entire district, gave IN to the mIlllonS
of gallons of water which were played
upon it.
After the fire had been extinguished the
underwriters big cellar pump, which re-
sembIes giant fire-engine, was put to work
to clear the basement of the burned build
ing of water. Two great streams were
kept running from the ponderous machine
far into the night, but finally the work
was accom- plished. 1t was found that the
goods stored in the basement had been
rendered worthless by the food of water
which had poured upon them from above.
Taking it all in all, and considering the
small area which was swept by the flames,
it was one of the most destructive fires not
alone to the owners of the businesses, but
to the underwriters as well that has hap
pened for some time in this City.
The statements of losses and insurance
are:

EMERIC'S PRESERVES.
Another Trespass Suit Which Was
Dismissed at San
Pablo.

H. Emeric, president of the San Pablo
Duck-sbooting Club, received a second de-
feat Yesterday in trespass suit which had
been brought by him against hunter
named Jones, who was detected in the act
of shooting ducks on that part of the San
Pablo marsh claimed by Emeric as his
property.
The prosecuting attorney had the case
dismissed on the ground that the law, as
it read, gave the hunter a right to shoot
ducks on swamp and overfowed marsh
lands.
1t was suggested to the attorney that the
law, so far as the giving a hunter right
to shoot upon overhowed marsh lands, was
considered unconstitutional, but the at
torney answered by saying that it was
perfectly constitutional until proved other
wise by The courts.
