Az soon as the ice is strong enough on
Portage Lake TO work on, operations
will be started in building II new and
larger dock near the Mineral Range
depot at Han ock. The old dock will be
enlarged and will extend out into the
lake for a considerable distance, and
when completed will be large enough TO
transact all the business OF the road
without crowding. At Que end of the
dock will be erected large coal shed, in
which will be stored all the winter sup
pity OF coal used on tn three roads. Early
in the spring the old Hancock depot will
be torn down and a new one built near
the hay sheds upon Hancock street, and
the space occu pied by the old depot will
be used as freight yard. these i'm.
provements will greatly facilitate the
handling OF the increasing business Of the

What May Have Been
a Disastrous Con-
flagration
Promptly Nipped i'm the Bud
Fire An the slrobIe Block az Rough
ton. Extinxuished with . Few
Buckets OF Water.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
the fire alarm at Houghton was sounded,
fire having been discovered in the Strobe
building on Nam street, occupied on the
ground floor by Ed Haas & Co.. clothiers,
and the Carlton Hardware company.
The second floor being used for office and
dwelling rooms. The hall upstairs was
noticed by occupants OF the building TO
be full OF smoke and on investigation
found flames issuing from a closet at the
back OF the building. an alarm was
turned in and 1t was but few moments
when a line of hose was stretched from
the hydrant at DIlon's corner TO the
scene OF the fire. but il was not found
necessary TO turn on the water, for few
buckets OF water put the fire in the closet
out, but not before il had worked its
way between the pa titions and there
was considerable trouble in locating the
remaining fire. but it was finally done
and the fire put out with IA few buckets OF
water. The fire IL supposed to have
started in the closet by someone lighting
a match and throwing it on the flooring,
thus starting the blaze. The damage co
building will not be great and was fully
covered by insurance. The members OF
the fire company are to be congratulated
in getting their hose laid IN such short
time

Hidden Treasure.

SEATTLE, Wash; July " An9 amount of treasure brought down from the famed Clondyke by the steamship Portland is now placed at sl ,ooo'oVV and there is good reason to pei'eVe that the sum was nearer $2,0OO, 900.
 In this connection something in the nature of a confidence game appears to have been worked on the North Ameri- can Trading and Transportation Com pany or it's officials in charge or the Portland, by the miners. Each man was required to place his gold dust ID the ships safe, but this was not oone by any means. Many of the miners secreted their dust in blankets ana luggage, which were taken either 10 their staterooms or thrown carelessly about the ship.
 Clarence J. Berry, one of tie Clon- dyke kings, brought down at least s84 GOO in nuggets, not cent of which the Portland had record. This state ment is made on the authority of Captain William Kidston, the master of the vessel. When pressed for an estimate as to the grand total of the Portland's gold cargo, Captain Kidston said it was, no doubt, nearer $l, ,O0O,O than the amount accounted for on the ships records.
 | At present only miners laws rule the camp, but next year Dawson City will bs incorporated and municipal officers elected. The miners are determined oa one thing, however, namely, that crder shall be preserved at all hazards No sure-thing gamblers will be. peg- mitted in either Dawson City or the diggings.
 Information comes from Juneau to the effect that several rich strikes have recently been made in the neighborhooo of Forty Mile. The location has been christened Minute Creek, and is now banning out $22 day to the man. Another discovery on American Creek, fifty miles below Forty Mile camp, is said to paying well, and a great number of men have fiocked there during the last few weeks. The pans run from slO to SIS. It is thought likely that many of the prospectors will strike for these camps, thus relieving the strain on Dawson City.
The Florence tribune., 1897-07-24

ONCE upon a time it was a popular fad with the Republican party to rec ognize the old soldier in the distribu- tion of pie, but the day has passed. Of all the Federal appointments so far made in Arizona not solitary one has been given to man who ever saw a days service in the war for the preser- vation of the Union. A number of worthy veterans have made application for positions, but they have been mere ly laughed at. The almighty dollar is the shibboleth which controls the G. O. F., and Republican who was one when Republication meant something is looked upon as a curiosity. The fold stiffs," as they are now sneering- ly called, have been relegated to the rear, and the practical politician who stayed at home or has grown up since bears aloft the banner of Republican ism. Queer country this, which fails to recognize its defenders. Perhaps they may be allowed to sweep out some of the offices.

"Yes," says the Exeter Democrat, ''verily the life of country editor is one continued round of milk and honey. His cup of happiness is always so full a bushel basket wouldn't com mence to hold what runs over the side, and his joy knows DO confines. He la bors from morn until night trying to please the community, and as a result pleases no one and goes homo at night so tired that if he gets any sleep at all he has the nightmare and dies hund- red different deaths inside of an hour. Sometimes he dreams he dies and goes to heaven, but even there he is tor rnented by some subscriber, always delinquent, who from the depths of hades won't allow him to rest in peace even in that promised land, but keeps halloing up about something that was in the paper that didn't just suit him, and to escape the fiend he wakes upand comes back to the earth again.
