A SEASON OF FIRES.
Fitchburg Thoroughly Alarmed
by Many Blazes,
Another Five Story Block Fire With Many
Narrow Escapes Man May
Die from Exhaustion.
lReguIar spy corregpondenee.l


bftchburg, Feb. 2-This city has had
a taste of fires the past "a hours that
has not been equalled for many years.
The fire department were obliged to re-
spond to two still alarms for the Julia
Leonard block, which was reported in
yesterdays Spy.
About $50 this morning the 5-story
building on Pritchard street owned by
Andrew Whitney and run by w. F. De-
mers as Hotel Balmoral, was discovered
to be on fire, and the As guests in the
house had some narrow escapes in MAX
ing their exit. The fire was discovered
by q man who came in to start up the
fires, when he attempted to reach the
cellar for COAL The proprietor was no
Titled and he also attempted to reach
the scene Of the blaze, but was driven
back by the smoke, which by this time
had completely filled the house.
The automatic fire alarm in the main
hall, which is connected with every
room, was started, and soon the fright
ened people began to appear. Escape by
the stairs was cut off in many instances
and the fire escapes were used to good
advantage
All made their escape with safety with
tile exception OF Isaac DemerS, IaIlef or
the proprietor, who was overcome by
the smoke, and was rescued by the cook
in an almost unconscious condition. He
was removed to the Burbank hospital,
and it was given out late this evening
that his chances for recovery were
slight
The fire either originated in the cellar
of the hotel or the cellar adjoining, &C.
cupied by w. H. Eaton, who ran a 5
and 10 cent store and large crockery
store on the ground floor.
The loss on the building has been fixed
al $4,000, covered as follows: Lancashire,
$1,000; Aetna, $500; Equitable, $1,000; Man
chester, $1,000. Mr. Demers loss will be
in the vicinity of 500, and he is covered
by $4,000 of insurance, holding a policy
for $1,000 in the MiddleseX-Essex and Sa-
lem Mutual companies. Mr. Eaton will
probably lose $250O, and is insured for
$1,000
The losses by fire for the last "a hours
is not far from $4,000 which is more
than the total loss for last year.
A false alarm was rung in at $50 this
morning, which gave the firemen the
hardest run of the season for nothing.

MAY HELP MILLvILLE,
Old RecIaiming Plant May Be Utilized on
Account of Naugatuck Fire.

The destruction of the retaining
plant of the United States Rubber Com
pany at Naugatuck, Conn, may result
in the overhauling and starting of the
old plant at MillyilIe which, although
much smaller than the Naugatuck plant,
vet could in measure supply some of
the factories of the company with ma
terial. Some of the machines from this
plant have been removed to Naugatuck
and were probably destroyed
The burning of the retaining plant
may cause a partial shutdown of the
Alice mill in this city and at Millville,
at a near date, but it is understood those
mills have sufficient stock on hand to
last for quite while yet.

out head owing to a controversy be-

is in marked contrast with that Of the impractical enthusiast who builds a shelter before he nuds the requisit e amount Of ore General Manager Payne has certainly shown good judg- ment and practical mining ability in his management of the Grand Reef. It's entry into the ranks of great producers is only question Of time.
 Florence Tribune: w. Y. Price was up to the Ray mine tbls week and se- cured the freighting contracts from the company. This will be good news for our town, as it virtually does away with the proposed road to Red Rock, and will bring all the business from Mineral Creek through Florence and Casa Grande. Shields & Pr ce are doing much for this valley; at the same time they are advancing their own interests, which fact is appre- cated by our people, with the eXcep- tion of the mossbacks, of course, who never appreciate anything that is en- terprising. And Florence. by the way, has more than it's share of the moss back fraternity, which is the main reason why 1t Is not more of town to- day But this will be a great city within the next ten years in spite of them.

MINING ~B w-.

the gold mines ab MeSqNlJe are DeluR quite successfully operated.
 Citizen: Dan Dwyer is here to sup erntend the shipment to Silver City of high grade copper Vre to arrive from the Helvetia in the Santa Ritas There are l25 sacks at the depot to be loaded with the lot expected here daily from the above named mines.
 Citizen: The Columbia smelter at Rollin, A. E. Crepiu manager, will, it is expected, renew active operations soon after the holidays. An abundance of ore in the Harshaw and Washing ton districts awaits smelting, and it Is probable long run will follow the resumption Of operations.
 Globe Times: Taylor D. Mcleod states that he will commence the as- sessment work tomorrow on the old George Martin group Of gold mines, one mile east of town, bought about one year ago from George Miles. He will also begin the assessment next week on the Azure King group Of cop per mines opposite picacho, in Yuma county.
 Bulletin: A party of Spenazuma mining men to the number of twenty two passed over the c. V., c. X N. By. last Friday night. They came from Boston and New York in their special car which is waiting for them at Thomas. Immediately upon their arrival at Thomas they were driven over to Spenazuma. The party is headed by MT. Flower.
 Globe Times The mining compa- nies have nearly exhausted the tim Der in the Pinal mountains and in a short time railroad will have to be bull north to the extensive pine for ests, or the timber will be shipped from California. The smelters are consuming good deal of wood brought down from the mountains, but this may be changed by using coal or shipping wood from the Gila valley st reduced prices.
 Republican,: J. Sullivan, mining man from the Black Rock mining dis trict in the northern part of the coun- ty, is in the city. He reports a great deal of activity in that district. Mir. Sullivan is the owner of some rich claims, but he has been i'll for some time and is'unable to develop them. Mining men who have seen his prop critics are satisfied that they will make good mines with further deyel- opment
 Coconino Sun: H. P. Ewing of Kingman, was registered at the New Bank hotel last week. He states the Temple Bar Placer company, eighty miles north of Kipgman, owns 1000 acres The gravel is all the way from fifty to three hundred feet deep. The company has large pumping plant ln operation. A months run yielded s6O,000. A 40-stamp mill is running at White Hills, fifty miles north of Kingman, and producing considerable silver bullion. Chloride, twenty miles north of Kingman, is working 300 men.
 Bulletin: Reports received from the Grand Reef mine show an increase of rich ore as depth is attained. The big ledge has been penetrated to depth of 467 feet, and a tunnel is being driven to strike the 400-foot level. Both drifting and sinking are being vigorously prosecuted, and the promise of the mine is steadily grow Ing greater. The policy of the owner
