Big Price for Elko Copper Property.

Big Price for Elko Copper Property.
Samuel Newhouse has entered Ne.
vada, and has just closed up a deal
whereby he comes into possession of
the Blue Bird group of claims in the
Contact district sixty miles north of
Wells. ...
The group consists of six claims,
and it is stated General w. H. Pen.
rose and associates. who owned the
ground, will receive something like
100000 for their interests when all
the payments are made on their op-
ton. s~"it
The group is little developed but a
party has just come in from the Con.
tact says the ground has an excep.
tional showing Of high grade copper
ore, and is worth every cent of what
Mr.. Newhouse pays for it.
The property has a shaft down ono
hundred feet aside from the open
cuts made in various places to show
the trend Of the vein. Just how wide
the veins are haa not been fully de-
termined, as no crosscuts have been
made, but the shaft has disclosed a
body Of ore that will average twenty
per cent in copper. Shipments have
been made from the property in the
past, and tho returns from the smelt-
ers have shown tho ore to average 30
per cent IN copper while one lower
grade lot was sent that averaged %
per cent.
Mr.. Newhouse has another deal
about closed up on the Delano group
which is held under an option by Pat
Malloy, the well known mining man
OF BOISE, Idaho.
The Delano group lies adjoining
Blue Bird and it is said that Mr.New.
house considers the ground worth
having. and there ls little doubt but
that the deal will be consumated up
on Mr.. Malloy's return.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS
BUILDINGS ENTIRELY
DESTROYED.
Mrs. Garrecht Badly Burned and tho
Inmates Narrowly Escape In
Their Night Clothes.

. About l o'clock this (t'riday) morn
ing the people of Elko were startled
from their SAUNDERS by the ringing Of
the tire-bells. Tho fire proved to be
at the White Sulphur Springs, about
~ miles from town, kept by Mrs. J.
j. Garrecht. Mrs. Garrecht, Miss
Addie Garrecht, Miss Pearl Lindsay
and. Charles Eager, the bus driver,
were asleep in the building when the
fire started and narrowly escaped
with their lives .......
Mrs. Garrecht was awakened about
one o'clock by a Ii ght in the front
part of the building, used as a saloon.
She awoke Addie and they ran to
the saloon and found it on fire. They
screamed for help and this awoke
Miss Lindsay and Charles Eager.
The. fire had made such Roadway
when discovered that the people IN
the house had barely time to escape
in their night clothes. Mrs. Garrecht
rushed to one of the bath rooms in
the back part Of the building to turn
on the water, eud then thinking of
her money, about 5000. in her bed
room, rushed after that and was al
most suffocated by the smoke. She
was rescued from her perilous posi-
ton by Charley Eager, but not until
she WAS badly burned about the
head and face. Her right hand is
also badly burned and it will be
some time before she is able to be
ont. Miss Lindsay saved an arm
full OF clothing, but aside from
this she lost her bicycle, sew
eral rings, pair of diamond earrings,
two watch chains, a lot of books and
the most Of her clothing. Addie
rushed into her burning bedroom and
saved bureau drawer contain
ing her watch and chain
and other trinkets, but lost
all her clothes except the night dress
she had on. Charley Eager lost all
his clothing except pair of pants.
Mrs. Garrecht saved nothing but the
night dress she wore. She recovered
nearly all her money this morning,
All the out buildings, except the new
stable and the building over the pond
we're destroyed. ... .....s.. t:,.
p Tho origin of the fire is not known.
The front part of the building was
burning fiercely when discovered
and it's origin is a mere matter of
conjecture. The buildings were in
sured in the Lyon Insurance Com
pany for $1,000. The loss above the
insurance will amount to at least
$4,000. ......... -.
The fire is a severe loss to Mrs. Gar
recht az it deprives her in her old aye
OF the means Of making a livelihood.
This is the second time the buildings
have been destroyed by fire. The
first fire occurred in June, 1883. Tho
buildings we're rebuilt and the White
Sulphur Springs since then have
been a popular resort. The INDIE.

will soon recover and find the means

LOYAL MEN IN THE RANKS.
Odd-Fellowship never had more loyal
followers. or better men I'm the ranks than
to-day. he said, and added Il am
proud" he said, "of the strain OF honest
blood that flows through the veins OF this
organization. The Odd-Fellowship to
which we belong Is the child OF the nine
teenth century. II was born on American
soil, the land where every one can read
the character Of the service that is re-
quired.
Since the organization OF the order,
there had been spent in actual relief the
sum Of ST. 40. 65sll-that is, $l,l15,Ooo every
year since 1880.
Think Of the families that Odd-Fellow-
ship relieves" the speaker said. but that
IS "A small part OF Fellowship. The
best part OF IL Is the companionship be-
tween men themselves. Odd-Fellowship
is something dreary and cold If It does
not live outside the lodge-room, and does
not live every hour OF the daytime. We
want an Odd-Bellowship that people out
side the order Will recognize as a great
factor for good. The creed Of the odd
Fellows said Mr. Pinkerton, is the
fatherhood Of God and the brotherhood
and its adhesion TO IL has made IL what
IL is to-day" The order had withstood
great temptations in recent years.
A FORWARD MOVEMENT.
All over the country to-day We are
making a forward movement, the speaker
said, we are going forward TO new and
assured triUmphs.
Dress your lines on the advancing
colors OF American Odd-Fellowship" In
