Town of Jerome, Ariz., Almost Wiped
Out-Eleven Bodies Recovered.

Out-EIeVen Bodies Recovered.
Prescott, Arz, Sept. 13.-The town
of Jerome, near here, was completely
wiped out by fire, entailing a loss OF
over $1,000000 in property. Eleven
bodies have so far been recovered,
while a score or more are said to be
in the ruins or missing. The fire orig
mated from gasoline stove in cabin
and spread so rapidly and tiercely that
1t was impossible to save even the
clothing. The fire was confined eX-
cluSively to the business portion of the
town and the gap intervening between
it and the mammoth works of the
United Verde company saved it, other
wise the loss and suffering would have
been terrible.
Many persons from Jerome are ar
irving here on special trains, While
those remaining are to be cared for by
the company. Over $50 buildings, aver
aging in value $4,000, many merchan-
dlSe houses, saloons and general stores
were wiped out, and nothing of the
BUSINESS portion remains. The only
building to escape was the Methodist
church. The number of people rem
dered homeless is placed at 1900, and
they are being cared for by Messrs.
Giroux and Cross, of the mining COM
pany Two special trains left here to-
night for the scene of the fire, carrying
Iood and other materials to comfort the
distressed and a meeting is being held
10 raise money for the needy, of whom
mere are many. Loss is complete, but
little insurance being written in that
place owing to the great risk and in
aaqequate water supply. The United
verde company is now kindly caring
Iof the sufferers until other arrange
nehtS can be made. The place where
,he lire originated was the scene of a
drunken carOusal last night, and when
lungs settle a bit short shift will be
made Of the men who caused it.

st. Paul, Sept. Is. The first boys
who went from Minnesota TO fight the
battles of their country returned Sat-
urday night. They came not with the
proud strength that characterized
Minnesota men when they went to the
front, but returned pale and emaciated
by the dread typhoid fever. The sick
men are for the most part the young
est men of the regiment. Mere boys.
Since leaving home they have become
reduced in flesh, and the yellow skin
aid sunken eye tells the story of their
suffering.
They bore the long journey home
with the patience which is a part of
the makeup of hero. There was no
complaining, and only their outward
appearance to show their suffering.
They are the sick of the Twelfth and
Fourteenth regiments, who, from May
10 up to two weeks ago had been ell
camped at historic Chickamauga Park.
Owing to the unsanitary condition or
the camp they had been taken to bet
ter quarters, but too late to escape the
dread typhoid fever. The boys were
welcomed to the state by 5000 people
at st. Paul, many of whom were
friends and relatives of the sick men,
and included a large number from
Minneapolis. The Red Cross society
was we'll represented, and patriotic
men and women had gathered to see
the boys back. Gov. Clough had met
the hospital train at saltwater, accom-
panied by General Passenger Agent
Teasdale, of the Omaha road, and by
the time the train had reached ST.
Paul plans had been formulated for
the care Of the sick men. The trip was
made with no deaths, although at
least two of the men were thought to
be in very critical condition. 1t is
believed that all will begin to improve
under the loving care of friends and
relatives.

Loman g. Winters have made an
important strike on their Soft Snap
claim located just north OF the old
Arge nta. The new find is on vein
running parallel with the old Ar
genta about 300 feet north Of the lat
ter. In their new opening they have
fourteen inches of quartz which
shows large quantities. of free gold,
while paintings indicate the average
to be better than $40 per ton.
The Standard Tunnel is now into
California Hill over 200 feet, the en- .
tire length being in ORE. Over 200
tons Of first -class ore are now piled up
on the dump.
A. L. Walker has recently made an
important find on the Umatilla claim
on California Hill. 1t consists of a
North and South vein carrying the
same character OF gold bearing quartz
found in the Standard and is thought
to be the extension Of the latter. The
new stuff pans handsomely.
The Kanahwa shaft has reached a
depth Of lis feet, ut which point the
owners are finding evidences of their
recovering the vein for which they
are sinking.
The lower drift in the Walker is
now in over 140 feet. The showing
in the face is good.

the Talbot mill as soon as the water

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
The Secret Of n Miner in the I<ion.
dixie Gold Fields

The Secret Of n Miner ir the I<ion-
dixie Gold Fields.
The K!ondike is responsible for the
connection of a chemical compound
which promises to revoiutionize mining
methods in every section where wiuter
puts stop to operations every year.
The nature of the chemical is n Sc
cret, which the inventor will divulge to
no one. The chemical is simple and
cheap, however, and can be manufac-
tured upon the ground where the mine
is located. The discoverer will locate
several mines in the spring, and devel.
OPP them the following summer an6
winter. No matter how cold the atmcs.
phere, it will not interfere with tn.
thawing properties of the wonderful
fluid.
The value of such a discovery t.
readily apparent It practically con-
quers the Inconvenience CT cold and ex-
IRENE temperatures, and does away
with the necessity of thawing the
ground by the slow and tedious meth
Cd OF building fires and allowing them
to thaw out the frozen earth. The in
ventor estimates that the chemical will
melt the earth to the depth of two
feet. Continual application of the fluid
will allow the miners to keep continu-
ously at their labor.
Besides using the fluid for developinp
whatever mines he locates, the in
ventor will take up enough material to
supply the other miners at reasonable
prices.

Help the Starving Cubans,

In another column will be found a
communication from the ladies Of
Elko in regard to the suffering Of wo-
men and children in Cuba. These
poor defenseless subjects of Spain's
tyranny are dying by thousands of
starvation and disease and their con-
dition appeals piteously to the Amer
lean people who have never yet fall
tered in the cause of liberty and
humanity. These people, innocent
sufferers Of SPANS brutality, appeal
to the generous hearted people Of
America to give of their substance to
aid them in the struggle against star
walton and disease.
Think Of the condition OF these
suffering people on the island Of Cubu
and when called upon by these ladies
open yonr hearts and purses and give

ness in this world and your everlast

WHAT THEY BROKE.
tn OLD Farmer Found That He HAD
Been MintakeR

There had been rather bad runaway
accident in mountain town. Several
persons had been injured, and the doc
tor was miles away. But, as good luck
would have it, a clever young medical
student happened to be on the ground
and did excellent service, says the
Youths Companion.
When the doctor came there was
nothing to be done, but he listened with
great interest to his young colleagues
exposition of the cases. They talked
for long time on the hotel piazza The
farmer who had been driving the horses
and was himself unhurt listened with
eager interest to explanations wherein
scapula, humerus and clavicle played
prominent parts.
Finally he took up the relns sadly and
drove home to his wife. AS soon as he
entered the yard she threw her apron
over her head and hurried forward to
meet him.
"Ephraim says some of the folks was
hurt" she called. "How much was it Z?
Did they break their legs or their arms
-which?"
The farmer drew in his now pacified
steeds at the post and let the reins
slacken in his grasp.
"Well," he said refiectively, leaning
forward. both elbows on his knees: ct
thought one of 'em broke his leg and
another a collar hone. an so on, but

More and More Work Carried For
ward by Night as Well as by Day.

ward by Night as Well AS by Day.
The electric light on the lofty frame
work of great modern buildings under
construction is now familiar sight,
says the New York Sun. The work goes
on at night as well as by day, so that,
with it's new building completed, the
valuable land shall as soon as possible
again be made productive.
1t is common now in busy streets to
do work that involves tearing up the
street pavements, on underground
pipes, wires, and so on, at night; so that
the work may be done with the least in
terruption to traffic, and with the great
est facility as far as the work itself is
concerned.
And nowadays work on new pave
ments is carried on at night, to hurry it
to completion; simply to save time. It
may be, for example, that in residence
street two shifts Of men are employed
in laying an asphalt pavement, and the
work goes right on continuously, day
and night. One might look down this
quiet street ut three o'clock in the morn
ing and see the men at work by the
flaring naphtha torches, and the big
steam roller moving back and forth just
| the same as ut three O'clock in the after
noon.
On occasion work on gas trenches
| and other street work is nowadays kept
right on at night. And all these things
are in keeping with the great modern
tendency to save time; to utilize every
minute and to waste nothing.
