 What resulted in great loss to inc Arizona Copper company and to Cliff ton and Metca1f was the burning m -Dec. ~of- the old eeee,ilcentraror. Fire was discovered early in the evening eating it's way up the main piers and ln an hour the entire building was smOuldering ruin. Two hundred men worked heroically in the intense heat to subdue the flames, and to them belongs the credit of putting out a fire which threatened the company's entire plant, including the store. MT. F'raissinet, manager of the company store, had pipes laid through the store ready for instant use. JAS it happen- ed, no wind was blowing from the north, but for this there is no telling what would have been the result. The loss is estimated at S25,O00, and some men will be thrown out of work in all probability, as the ore trains from Metcalf will necessarily have to sus- pend operations for a time The ori- gin of the fire remains a mystery. Some rumors are current that Mexi- cans, who sleep in the building, drop pad lighted cigarette. This is the same old story of every fire that has occurred since Adams time
