The Quicksilver Mine.

P. F. Taylor and DR.. M. 0. Wright
have returned from their trip to Mr..
Taylor's newly discovered quicksilver
mine, mention of which was made in
last weeks Avalanche. AS yet the
value of the property is not known.
Senator Turney and DR.. Wright of El
Paso are interested in the claim and
the latter will return to Alpine in the
GEAR future and then som ething def
mite will most bably be learned as
to what steps will be taken. 1t seems
that the only trouble with the ore is
that continuous vein has not been
found, that is, the ore can be found over
a large territory, but breaks out here
and there in pockets.
Mr.. Taylor Informed the Avalanche
that the assay made ran about 1915 90
to the ton, and if anything like solid
body can be struck, of course, the niue
is very valuable.
There have been several discoveries
Of quicksilver made in thessOuthern: pOr-
ton of this county, and l. A. Devices OF
Del Rio is at present working on "a
mine of the kind and has taken out
several tons of ore.
Judging from the reports of different
kinds of mineral being found in this
county within the past two or three
years, it is plainly evident that soon
some very rich mines will De worked in
our midst.-Alpine Avalanche.
It has for years been known that
quicksilver ore, and ore of the very
best kind has existed down on the
peninsula, ore that is even better than
the California cinnabar, the sulphide
of mercury. But the trouble has been
that the ore was found only in pockets,
and while a rich pocket might be
found, the proceeds would be all eaten
up in finding another pocket. How
ever, there is an immense fortune
awaiting those who strike vein.

Hernandez, aged 5, ere they could be

Constable Farrell was sent for and
arrested the Cninamap, who denied all
knowledge of the deed. The children,
however, identified All Lee as the Of

I3, identified him again this morning
in Justice McKie's court among los Of
Other Cinnamon. The accused main
tains stout denial, and claims it is a

Anyhow, Justice McKie lined All Lee
so in one case of assault, and the other
will go up to the county court. The
children were not badly hurt, but had

Hickory, \. c., March Sp"cial)--
Hichorys star is in the ascendant Luck

two hundred thousand dollars worth OF
profcrty would have mounted skyward in
flame and smoke. and the row of large
brick buildings on Main street woull
have been changed into gaunt fire-scar-
red walls towering above n mass OF
smouldering ruins.
4 ,aut II O'Clock on wednesday, night
Policeman Grouse saw smoke issuing
froia the upper portion of that building
in which j. r. Drake, Jr., conducts the
Hickory Racket store
He gave the alarm of fire and u party
rushed TO the scene aud hastily smashed
the front doors OF the store Ascending
to the second floor, they swung back the
trap-door to the garret aud discovered
that the space between the roof and
ceiling was filled with smoke, while
tongues Of flames leaped up here and
there. A large crowd had gathered in the
meantime and Hickory's water-works,
consisting of two wells, rigged with
wheels and chains, were brought into
play. The flooring of the garret was
ripped away with more speed than grace
and buckets of water dashed upon the
blazing rafters. After half an hour of
desperate work the fire was eXtinguished.
The stock was probably damaged to the
extent of S400, the result of water and
falling timbers.
When the smoke-b begrimed workers had
time to look about them, sinister evidences
of n fre-bug's work were disclosed. A

story through the garnet and out to the
chimney on the roof. In the garret this
flue had been swathed in cotton. The
cotton itself had been drenehed with
kerosene oil. Pine faggots had been piled
around the fiue to a heighth of three feet
These peculiar circumstances led some
people to believe that the fire was of in
cendiary origin. The most careless Of
men would hardly store away pine, cot
ton, kerosene oil and FIRE together. At
the time when the fire was discovered
the store was securely locked. No one
could have entered the garret from the
roof and made his escape. Hence who
ever fired the building must have entered
it by door or window. Jas. +. Drake,
Jr, the proprietor Of the Racket, was
in South Carolina at the time of the
occurrence. Morgan 1Aawn, one Of his
clerks, left the store about half past 0
o'clock Frank Drake, brother of the
proprietor, closed the store and went
home about 10 p. m. There will be no loss
except for the insurance companies, as
the stock was heavily insured.
This afternoon Dallas FL. Russell,
owner of the building in which the
Racket was conducted swore out war
rants charging J. Il. Drake, Sr., and his
son, Frank Drake, with the burning
The mayor required a bond of two
hundred dollars, which the accused have
failed to give, thus far. Frank is
boy of about fourteen years. J. f.
Drake, Sr., has been a citizen Of this town
only a year, but has been generally
esteemed.
The proprietor of the Racket store has
telegraphed that he will return TO Hick-
ory tonight. He will probably be ar
rested on his arrival.
