FIRE BUGS
Will Be Holly Pursued by the
Insurance Commissioner.
Copies Of the New Laws Sent Out to
the Municipal Officers.
The Governor and Party Are Expected Home
by Saturday.

from the insurance department are
being sent out to the municipal officers
through the State, copies of the laws OF
1897, an act to provide for the investi-
cation Of fires. and the publication OF
statistics regarding the same.
BY this law, the officers are required
to investigate the cause of any fire
within their jurisdiction within three
days of its discovery, not including the
Lords day-especially with a view &c
finding out whether the cause be the
result of carelessness or design.
When the officers have completed
their investigation. they are to file their
statements of facts with the insurance
commissioner, who is empowered t.,
supervise and direct such investigation
whenever he thinks it necessary. Tt
him and the deputy commissioner. and
also the municipal officers, is given the
power of trial justice for the purposes
of summoning testimony, giving hear
ings, etc. These hearings may be pri-
vate or not at discretion. Insurance
companies are required to report to the
commissioner within 10 days after the
adjustment Of loss, and various other
information.
Many other features of the law will
greatly assist in tho collection of in
formation regarding fires, and. i, is
hoped, that will be a step in the right
direction toward the detection Of some
of the fire-bugs which haze created
such disaster and doubtless will con-
tinue their work to q greater or less
extent until hauled up before justice
And it is not to be questioneI, that
when a fre-bug has been convicted, il
will be a sorry hour for him, when the
State of Maine once gets her hand on
the back of his neck.

Stevens Rescued.

James Stevens, the Goldfeld miner who was entombed in the Mammoth mine by cave in on the night of July 4th, was released alive Saturday morn ing, after being imprisoned iu drift l25 feet beneath the surface for thir- teen days. For ten days he had been without water.
 Though fearfully emaciated, having lost about sixty pounds in weight, he showed no signs of collapse, but com plained of burning thirst.
 Dr. Hart, of Tempe, who was in readiness at the top of the shaft, promply descended and made the famished man as comfortable as pos sible on mattress placed in the drift. On account of the lower temperature prevailing in the mine, it was decided to keep the patient in the drift below until nightfall. Dr. Hart administered nourish ment and stimulants in small quantities and in a short time the temperature of Mr. Stevens had been reduced to normal while his pulse had fallen from 112 to s4
 From the miner's own account of thc disaster and his subsequent ex- perienee hia nerve was remarkable.
 lie had worked his way forty-hve feet through the debris by Tuesday night, when his candles gave out, leaving him in inky darkness. From that time on he had done little except to sleep and try to keep account of the time. When found, he was right as to the time, except that he thought it was evening instead of morning. Dr. Hart states that the patient will re- cover. Stevens has family in Central City, Colo, and will doubtless visit them as soon as he is able to travel

A Pleasant Pasao.

Sheriff Truman and the TRIBUNE man took a trip last week which in cluded Nogales, Crittenden, Harshaw, Washington Camp, Duquesne and tue Copper Glance camp in the Huachucas, stopping one day in Tucson on their re- turn.
 In Nogales they were hospita6iy entertained by Colonel Robert Williams and his estimable wife at the Monte zuma Hotel, one of the best conducted hostelries in the Territory. The city was found to have greatly improved and the best of feeling prevailed among business men. A number of substantial improvements were being made and the place had a very thrifty appear ance.
 At Duquesne three different com panies were operating extensively, and the camp appeared to be on substan- tial foundation. A large amount of ore is being shipped, and arrangements are being made for reduction works near the mines. The TRIBUNE predicts that the section will be a great pro- ducer of bullion in the very near fu- ture. All indications point that way
 At the Copper Glance the good peo- pie of that camp fairly outdid therp- selves in their efforts to make it pleas ant for the visitors During g stay of three days we came to the firm eonclu- sion that the islanders regarding their lives had no foundation whatever in fact. Although we did not agree al- together with Mr. Donnelly in his re- ligious views, we desire to testify to the uprightness of his character and the pure life led by him and his follow CTS. The ladies of the camp especially are deserving of the highest commend ation. They are intelligent, virtuous and high-minded women, and the cow ardly attacks that have been made up- on them should be drowned down by all decent citizens. The writer has known intimately for several years a number of the residents of the camp, both male and female, and he knows nothing but good of them. They are firm and consistent in their religious belief, and have harmed nobody. On the contrary, they have done much good. We believe these facts will be generally known and recognized by every ybody in the very near future. From the vindictive persecution which Mir. Donnelly is now undergoing, he will come out brighter, stronger and more highly respected than ever. The mines being operated by these people are valuable properties, of which we will shortly give an extended account. It is model mining camp, in short5 and the people composing it are much more sinned n~airst than shining.

SIlvers Friends.

Hon. Chas. D. Lane, of California; Chairman of the National Silver Com mittee, accompanied by the Hon. Geo. P. Keeney, the organizer of the Silver party, has been in Washington in the interest of cementing the already close ly allied silver forces.
 There are, perhaps, no two men in the United States who exhibit to a greater degree the high standard of American patriotism which is coming 1 to the front in the western section of this great country.
 Mir. Lane is the greatest gold pro- ducer in the world; he takes it out by the ton, yet, strange as it may appear, he is bimetallist of the bimetallists. Not otowning, individually or corporately, one dollar of silver property, yet this gentleman, in the St. Louis convention, stated that he would be willing to give every dollar he owned in the world, if it would result in re-establishing the bimetallic standard of money, beliey- ing the silver cause to be the crowning issue, and the only solution of the great economic questions that are now agi- tating this country.
 Geo. P. Keeney is the Arthur P. Cor man of the Pacific Coast; he is one ot the shrewdest political organizers in Ehs United States. So much has been accomplished by Mr. Keeney in the past in this line, that we are disposed to look h the future to him as one Of the nee essary factors in consolidating under one banner the entire silver forces of the United States.

Two ArmIes-the Regular and Irregular.

Two Arnies-the Regular and irregular.
 To which would you prefer to belong? The regular, undoubtedly. The irregulars are, admittedly, the most numerous, but they are in very undesirable state of no-diseipline. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will soon remedy this want in disordered liver or bowels. Biliousness manfests itself in yellovness of the skin and eyeballs, sour breath, furred tongue, morning nausea, discomfort in the vicinity of the liver, vertigo and sick head ache. Hosts of people suffer thus. These signs of insubordination 10 the governance of health, together with an irregular condition of the bowels are soon regulated by the Bit ters, which also overcomes malaria, dyspep- sia, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness aud kidney trouble. As a means of checking pre- mature decay. hastening convalescence, and mitigating the infirmaties of age, the great tonic is without parallel

It is by no means certain that the proposed extension of the Santa Fe to Globe will pass through the Gila valley towns. Morsnci is said to be the first objective point, and it is thought prob able by some that from there the road will be built across Bonita creek and down Ash creek flat to the San Carlos river. This short cut would have some advantages, but it seems improbable that the Santa Fe company win over look the future importance of the val ley as feeder for railroad II Range News.
