DEERlNG.

The alarm of fire from box five yester-
day afternoon at 2 IS, called the Deering
fire department to a lively blaze in the
two and half story wooden building
owned and occupied by Mr.. j. W. Hans
come and his son-in-law, with their FAM
lies at 81 Thomas street. The fire caught
around the chimney in the kitchen and
worked it's way rapidly to the attic. The
women of the family were in Portland at
the time of the fire, and Mr.. Hanscome,
who is a truckman, having stand in
Portland, was engaged at work in the
stable. The fire department made a
quick run to the fire and had several
streams on the burning building in a
very short time. The firemen worked
hard and it was necessary to put large
quantity of water into the house as the
most of the fire worked to the roof. The
bulk of the furniture including piano.
was taken from the house and were safe
ly stored in barn belonging to Mr.. W..
A. Moxcey. Mr.. Hanscome had an in
surance of $1,000 with Little's In.
surance agency on the furniture
and $500 on the building with
E. G. O'Brion. both of Portland. Mr..
Harry Butler, the son-in law, lost a por-
ton of his furniture and carried no in
surance. 1t was only few days ago that
Mr.. Hanscome renewed his policy on the
furniture. The hose in use yesterday
acted as it has for some time and leaked
badly. The new hose has been ordered
and will probably be In use at an early
date.

ner of Lawn avenue and Higgins street,

A ss5. 600 FIRE AT BRoWNvILLE.

Browntield, Me-, June 3. -Brownville
was the scene of disastrous fire early
Friday morning, which at one time
threatened to destroy the whole town.
The fire started just after midnight in the
shoe peg factory of j. Lewis & Son, at
the end of the bridge. In spite of the
hard work of the firemen, the factory and
one storehouse We're destroyed
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
loss is estimated at $25, 900. 1t is thought
to be insured. 1t was onlya by the most
energetic work ON the part of the fire de-
partment that the flames were kept from
spreading beyond the factory property.

MOST VALUABLE AMERICAN COIN,

.
The :aost valuable American coin to-day
is the perfect silver dollar of 1904 Its
highest auction price is 81 600; there is a
record of 81 200 having been paid for one
at private sale. Only thirteen of them
are known to exist, says the San Francis
co Examiner.
Lyman Il. Low of New York city, in
discussing tho subject of coin collections.
said:
"There are many raIities in the diff
erent series of United States coins, and
some OF them command pretty high
prices. That which has the highest rec
ord with us is the 1904 dollar, and there
are probably several hundred mistaken
claims made each year by persons who
think that they have one of these dollars.
This mistake arises from confusion of
other coints bearing the same date with
the United States silver dollar. The
Spanish American eight-reels piece, or
dollar, is dated 1904, and the Bank of
England has an 1904 issue, which is
STAMPED Five shilhngS or dollar Oc-
casionally some bunglingly altered coins
turn up as alleged 1904 dollars.
Next 10 these rare silver dollars the
coin collector prizes the half-eagles, or
IS gold pieces, Of 1916 or 1929. These are
worth from $50 upward. Of the other
rareties in the gold series the most nota-
Bile are the 81 piece of 1876 and the SO
pieces bearing 1875 and 1876. In the
series of silver half dollars the IN ost val
liable are the coins OF 1895 and 1897. The
lesser lights among those sought by col
lectors are the halves of 1894, 1901, 1902.
1916 and 1852. High prices are realized
by silver quarters of dates prior to 1916,
when they are in the mint state or not
very much worn. The quarters most in
demand and consequently most valuable
are those of 1898 aud 1927.
An 1892 half dime is very valuable. A
choice specimen will bring $l00 or over
at any time. The 1904 dime is probably
the rarest, and it is fair to say that any
early American dime in high state of
preservation is valuable This statement
applies also to almost any OF the copper
cents bearing dates prior to 1910, espec-
tally when they are in the mint state or
near thereto. The rare sets OF copper
cents may be noted in the following or
der: i799. 1904, 1913, 1909 and 1911. In
the issues of other dates the question of
presel walton is most important The old
2-cent pieces. which were coined from 1864
to 1873, have no special value, except those
of 1878. The 1873 coins were never struck
for general circulation. but were put in
proof sets OF that date.

The Neiv Meeican is in receipt of the in
telligence that the first of about thirty car
loads of machinery for the new $l25, 00C
reduction plant, to be erected at the GAL
bemarle" mine, in the Cochiti mining dis
trict, reached Thornton Tuesday afternoon,
from the east, and the rest will be rushed
in faster than 1t can be loaded on wagons,
for transportation over the t~wenty-four
miles to the mine. The entire lot Of ma
chinery will be landed in Thornton, this
week.
W. L. Trimble & Co., who have for sew
eral years been engaged in hauling ore
from Bland to Thornton, aud are well.
equipped with heavy freight wagons and
draft horses, have taken the contract to
haul the machinery to the "Albemarle,"
and som CT it is already on the road to
Bland. Fortunately, the wagon road from
the latter point is completed to the mine, a
distance of about three miles, and hence
there will be 10 delay on that account
The site for the big reduction plant has
already been graded and most OF the foun-
dations laid, SO the machinery can be set
up as fast as received. The contract of
Coram g. Posey, with the builders,requires
the plant to be finished and ready to begin
active operations on May 1st. No doubt is
entertained that the conditions OF the con-
tract will be compiled With, to the letter.

Down Country Outrages

To the Editor OF the Optic.
CHAPERITo, N. M, February End, 1893
This part Of the country seemss infested
with a very bad class OF cattle and horse
thieves who are led by a man named
Epimenio Garcia, who some years ago
figured, so l understand, in the doings Of
the Mora outlaws. He is said to be an
escape from Colfax county for the murder
of an American, some few years ago. OF
late he has confined his deeds to stealing
cattle, sheep and horses. Only a few days
ago he tried to sell some cattle, but before
he found a buyer he had some -four. good
men on his trial and for some three days
and nights his peace Of mind was broken
by the sound OF his pursuers. He was
trailed for miles the doors of dugouts were
demanded to be opened, but no thief could
be found, for he was on to his pursuers,
and eluded them as only a thief Of his time
could do. He holds out In the Montoso,
and it is, l must say, the best location
I ever saw for his business. He has three
houses where he holds out, and IL you can't
catch him at the first you will not likely
| get him at the second or last. He has two
stables and in one there were two as
good horses as y o can fad in IN ones
stahlo, ono a black and the other a white,
well cared for and ready for use. 1t Is the
duty the county owes its taxpayers to see
that this man and his pals are caught and
we will do all we can to send him to tie
pen, for the benefit of those who have had
horses stolen. He has some fourteen
head hid out in a rincon on the Montoso,
and now is the time to get them, if you
want them, as he is on the run and most
any day the horses may be gone to other
grazing grounds, and where these kind of
men can fad better and quicker deals.
