RUINED GOODS ARE VALUABLE.
BY Skillful Handling Damaged Articles
Are Made SalabIe Again.


Zone of the greatest boons to insur-
ance companies and merchants whose
wares have been partially destroyed by
fire is the salvage or wrecking COM
papy which steps in Immediately after
a conflagration and begins the work of
rescuing damaged stock from the
ruins said the veteran insurance
agent. such concerns exist only IN
New York and three or four other
large cities, but the demand for their
service is growing so that in time ev-
cry community of Importance will
have a salvage company of its own, no
doubt. Sometimes the salvage concern
is employed by the insurance compan-
les and sometimes by the firms which
have sustained a severe loss by fire; it
depends usually upon the terms of set
tlement between the insurance men
and the owners of the goods. Where
the goods or that portion of them pass
into the possession of the insurance
companies by the terms of settlements
made with insurers they are handed
over to the salvage company, which
wrecks them. as the process of restor-
ing to something like pristine condi-
ton is termed, and the goods are sold
for the account of the insurance COM
panes which had paid the former
owners for total loss. The salvage
people receive a certain percentage of
the amount realized for their compen-
sation.
Making goods which have passed
through a fire saleable necessitates
quick action and very skillful hand
ling. The operation must be in charge
of men who are entirely cOnversant
with the line of articles damaged.
Most often, in the instance of a large
fire, the stock will be found in the
cellar water-soaked and inhumed in
Of tn MID Ctn fol hea &
and all manner Of incidental rubbish.
But no matter in what condition the
goods may be the salvage company
noses them out, carries them away TO
warehouses or stores rented for the
purpose, and there endeavors to re-
store them as far as practicable to
something like the original condition,
so that they may be readily converted
into cash. Quick-drying plants are
provided for clothing, dry goods and
similar merchandise. When the goods
are thoroughly dry they are surren-
dered to cleaners and renovators.
| Fresh tags, bands, new labels, boxes
| or ornamental wrappers, according to
| the needs of the case, are provided,
| and very often goods which at first
| glance appeared damaged beyond all
possible restoration are forwarded to
| the auction rooms by the salvage COM
| pany looking as fresh and good as
| new. When cloths, silks or fancy
| dress goods have been so spoiled by
| water and smoke as to render them
| useless because no long pieces can be
saved they are trimmed and sliced into
| small pieces for the use of makers OF
| covered buttons. CATERS, slippers
neckwear and caps, and others who
| consume short pieces of goods. Such
| perisha BILE goods as groceries are cas-
lily ruined by fire, smoke and water
| yet the salvage concerns cheerfully
! contract to repair such stocks, and
| there are men in their employ who en-
| deavor to save even grain of rice

c. s. Batterman, assistant superin-

appear before Judge Clancy at o'clock
this afternoon to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt for
disobeying an order of the court The
company is also ordered to appear for
the same purpose.
The contempt order was issued upon
affidavit of Edward Mccormick, an en-

Judge Clancy yesterday afternoon by
Attorney Mediation. In his affidavit
Mccormick says that on the 18th of

The one disadvantage in employing
incandescent lamps in coal mines, now
that the installation of current is usu-
ally made for the purpose of operating
electrical cutters or electrical locomo-
tives, is the possibility of the ignition
of the fire damp should the globe lie
broken by a blast or by being struck.
To obviate the possibility of such an
EXPLOSION a German inventor proposes
to provide the lamp base with spring
switch and mount the lamp against a
flexible diaphgram, so that should the
lamp receive a jar the spring will be
released, thus cutting out the current.
The whole device is also protected by
a hemlspherical glass globe.

Thursday evening. Matheson is said to

TRAIN DELAYED.
The Arion Tourists viii Not Get in Until
This Morning.

The Arion Singing society of New
York was expected to reach Butte at
o'clock last evening by special train
over the Northern Pacific, but did not
arrive, and will probably get in some
time this morning. The cause of the
delay could not be learned last night.
Arrangements had been made for the
reception of the Arions at the McDer-
mott hotel, and the manager was notl-
fed at about midnight that the party
would not get in until this morning.
There are nearly $50 people in the
party, which is under the direction of
w. F. Mershon, general agent of the
passenger department Of the Northern
Pacific in New York city, and Richard
Weinacht, president of the Arion So
ciety. They were expected to spend a
day in Butte, and it is not known how
the programme will be affected by the
delay in the arrival in the city. From
Butte the special will go to Anaconda
over the Butte, Anaconda Il Pacific
track, and from there on to Spokane.

B0OTJACK DISCIPLINE.
Victor Erfurt's Wife Objects to That Kind
of Caressing.

Victor Erfurt. a brewery employe,
living in the southwestern part of town,
was arrested yesterday for third degree
assault, on complaint of his wife, who
alleged that he took a bOotjack to her.
Mrs. Erfurt said her husband was ad
dicted to drink and was quarrelsome,
and yesterday morning, while in one CT
his moods, had administered to her a
severe beating, using the boOtjack to
do it with. A warrant was issued by
Justice Nichols and an officer brought
the bullying husband into court. His
head was a sight to behold, with his
face swollen, bruised and discolOred.
The court was inclined to think the
warrant had been issued for the wrong
person till Erfurt explained that he
had collided with another brewer, who
had put head" on him. Erfurt plead
ed guilty and will be sentenced this

GREAT BRITAIN FEARS RUSSIA.
Conflict Between the Two Nations Would
Be of Doubtful Result.

From Harper's Weekly.
One important reason why England
ought not to assume an offensive at
titude toward Russia, if it We're other
wise desirable for her to do so, is the
weakness of her army. A war with
Russia would not be a naval war. 1t
would necessarily be a land war, and
England. it is we'll known, with her
present force and her policy of volun-
tary enlistments, could not put more
than 10000 men into China. This was
asserted only the otner NJ ,rning II the
house of commons and the government
did not contradict the statement In
deed it is perfectly well understood
that it rests on the authority of Lord
Wolseley himself. II is hardly worth
while to enlarge upon the ceplorable
situation in which England would find
herself is she Ter2 called upon to face
Russia with a force of 10000 men. Rus
STA has probably already many more
troops than this in ManChuria.
The result of a war, then, between
Russia and Great Britain, undertaken
under existing conditions, would be the
total destruction of British commerce
in China and the invasion and possibly
the temporary loss of India. And in
considering the possible effect of such
a war we must bear in mind the atti-
tude of the people of India toward the
| imperial government, which is that of
| discomfort, expressing itself in riots.
| Surely such an attitude would be of
| immense assistance to Russia in the in
vasion that would Immediately follow
the breaking out of war over China.
| The facts which British statesmen are
| facing are stern and threatening, and
| what clamOr there is in England for
| dealing extensively with Russia is the
| Clamor Of ignOranCe-an ignorance that
NAV not be dissipated until its victims
| are aroused and informed through the
| awful surprise which is sure to follow
| the first shock of arms.

One Andree Out of Place.

An amusing story of the German en-
peror is being told in army circles. At
a recent inspection of recruits his maj
esty asked one of them his name, and
was told "Andree" On his majesty
asking him if he was aware that he
had a famous namesake, the soldier
answered in the Affirmative. Who
told you, them" asked the emperor.
My captain, your majesty. And
what did your captain tell you about
Andrea" Your majesty, the captain
said that he only wished Andree had
taken me with him."

morning. If Judge Nichols lives up to
his past record in dealing with wife
beaters, it will be worth while hearing
his remarks when Erfurt appears for
sentence. But this is not all the trouble
in store for Erfurt. His wife vowed her
intention Of getting a divorce, and left
the court room to consult a lawyer.

Suuar Beets in New Mexico.

A pamphlet just issued by the expert
ment station of the agricultural college
at Mesilla Park makes an elaborate re-
port of Investigations in 1898 concerning
sugar beet growth in New Mexico. The
report was prepared by Arthur Goss
and A. M. Holt. This publication shows
that the best results obtained were from
ten beets grown at Santa Fe, which
gave 1859 per cent of sugar in the juice
and S2.1 purity, the beets weighing 1.2C
pounds each. Aztec, San Juan county,
made the second best record, with 1888
per cent sugar and 1875 purity. Com
parsons made with results Of tests in
fourteen states showed that the Santa
Fe beets surpassed all.
Roswell, the Rio Grande valley south
ward to Sierra county, Taos, Mora and
San Miguel counties, gave good results.
The sugar beet M in New Mexico, as
mapped out by the department of agri-
culture, enters in Colfax and Mora
counties, from Colorado, runs south
ward to Carlsbad and then curves and
runs up the Rio Grande valley, includes
Santa Fe, and passes out at the north
west corner of the territory, going
through Colorado again to Utah, Neva-
da and California. The zone passes
twice lengthwise through New Mexico.
Water suitable for sugar factory
purposes and good limestone are found
in or near the best beet-producing Sec
tons of the territory. Coal is also adj
jacent to the best localities, as in Santa
Fe county.

Would Save Lives.

California medicos are liable to bank
rupt the state if they undertake to
quarantine tuberculous people from en-
tering that state. 1t was the consump-
tives, or those who feared the disease
was assaulting them, who peopled the
southern end of California. The San
Francisco Chronicle says an enforce
ment of a quarantine will bring finan-
cial ruin to- the people already there,
who receive millions of dollars annual
ly from visitors seeking a mild climate.
Such a quarantine would be the best
thing thai could be devised for con-
sumptives. 1t would keep them away
from the moist coast climate and COM
pei them to stop in the dry air of New
Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, where
diseased lungs heal and progress of the
malady Is checked If the patients have
not delayed coming until recuperative
force has been destroyed.

Hay Is All Riuht.

The letter of Secretary of State John
Hay UNFOLDING the administration has
stirred up a few critics who think 1t
beneath the dignity of the Office for the
incumbent to write a letter of a politi-
cal character. That Is an idea that has
no excus for existence. Mr.. Hay knows
the condition of public affairs, and how
the public interests can be %furthered.
There is no reason why he should not
make a public speech, nor write a letter
for publication expressing his views as
a citizen. 1t is noteworthy that only
enemies of the president and the Re-
publican party, and a few newspaper
scolds who seek to show independence
by finding fault with somebodyor some
thing, have made any criticism of the
letter of Mr.. Hay.

The proposed railroad from Magdale-
ma to Chloride would result in the rap
id development of those parts of Socor-
70 and Sierra counties through which it
would pass. 1t has been the policy in
the west for railways to precede rather
than follow development. For that rea-
son railroads on paper may, when
built, be followed by such growth and
development as to become good divi-
dend payers. Lines from Santa Fe to
Bland and San Pedro, only seventy or
ninety-mile road from Magdalena to

made to interest and encourage capital

The Hebrews have set a good example
by establishing a national sanitarium
for consumptives in Colorado. Chris
tian denominations, secret societies and
other organizations should follow that
example and send their brethren threat
ened with or suffering from tuberculo-
sis to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah or
Colorado to regain health, the same as
the United States will send it's afflicted
sailors and soldiers to New Mexico for
treatment and cure. That would be

Santa Fe's trade with Bland has in
creased so much in late months, and
will keep on increasing, that a stage
line to Bland would be a paying propo-
sition until a railroad may be built. The
stage could leave Santa Fe three times
a week with passengers and parcels,
The cost of reaching Bland at present is
out of proportion to the distance, and
the traveller has to spend a night at
Thornton if he goes by the regular
route. 1t would even pay Santa Fe mer-
chants to subsidize such a line until it
gets upon a paying basis, which would
probably be after the first week or
month.
