ST. PauFs annual statement will be issu-
ed shortly. 1t is said that the gross earn
ings for the year will be $3S, ,000, 900 and
the increase $3,s00,000. The net will be
about $14, Ice, 900 of which about 81, 900, 900
would be increase over last year. The sur
plus, after dividends, will be, it is said,
81, 100000. This statement is not a sur
prise to anyone for sthe reason that it has
been realized that the system has been do
ing a wonderful business during the year
and especially during the past six months
When the hint as to these figures reached
the Street it had an immediate effect on
St. Paul, which advanced quickly from
13o 5-S to 131 IL. The close of the stock
was near the top for the day. The other
grangers were strong, but only steady in
their quotations, closing at about the level
of last night Atchison, next to ST. Paul,
was perhaps the best Of the group.

At the Office it was learned that fhe
fire started under the floor and was
discovered shortly after midnight BY
the engineer in the electric plant, M.
@. McGurn. He quickly gave the
alarm and soon all the available hose
at the smelter had been strung
out by the employees on
night duty, and several streams
of water we're playing on the flames.
After time it was seen that the sam
ping works could not be saved and the
efforts of the employees were directed
toward saving the boiler room, which
was nearby, the roof of which caught
fire several times. A large pile of coke
kept the flames from spreading, else
the loss would doubtless have been
greater.

Fire broke out in the smelter sam
pling rooms at 1890 O'Clock this morn
ing and completely destroyed the
building and contents, causing loss of
not less than 335 O0C and possibly more.
The chief damage was to the costly
machinery in the building, which was
almost totally wrecked and ruined by
the flames.
The origin of the fire has not yet
been determined, and the conjecture ia
that it was the work of an incendiary.
An alarm was turned in to the de-
partment IN this city a half hour after
the fire broke out. The flames were
then leapiug high into the heavens and
the sky above the Mesa garden was
lurid.
The department responded promptly
to the call to repair to the Mesa garden,
which was believed to be on fire, and
there was q mad rush for that point by
the apparatus, volunteers aud spects-
tors. Reaching there it was soon learned
that the fire was beyond, at the

quarters.
Nearly an hour later an appeal for
assistance was sent in to the fire de-
partment from the smelter and Chief
Powers consented to send out the en-
gine and hose cart. He was directed
to take the apparatus to the S. z. de-
pot and load it on fiat car, which was
in waiting with an engine attached.
The horses were detached at the depot
and the heavy apparatus loaded with
out difficulty.
A quick run was then made to the
smelter, but when the train reached
there delay of fully twenty minutes
was Occasioned in unloading the en-
gine. Word had been telephoned ahead
notifying the smelter authorities to
form for unloading the apparatus as
soon as the train arrived. but these in
structiOns we're not needed and the
twelve firemen aboard the train had to
hustle around and arrange the platform
after arriving.
The engine was quickly put to work
and soon two steady streams of water
were playing on the flames and con-
tinued for an hour aud half.
The engine arrived too late, how
ever, to do much good, although sur
rounding property WAS probably saved
from damage. When the engine ar
rived the fire had died down consider
ably and had already consumed
nearly everything infammable within
reach.
Chief Powers said this morning that
had the department been called an
hour earlier considerable good might
have been accomplished. Nothing
was said about the Santa Fe railway
hauling out the apparatus and the
chief was of the opinion that the Santa
Fe was not asked to furnish an engine
to make the trip for when rung up he
was told that q car and locomotive
were in waiting at the S. p. depot.
