Mammoth Mill.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial Correspondence)
Robinson, July 31.-There continue to
be many rumors and much speculation
concerning who, if anyone, shall sue
coed Mr.. O'Rourke as superintendent
of the Mammoth mill. The writer talked
with Samuel Mcintyre, jr, with refer
ence to the matter this noon. but did
not succeed in obtaining any definite
information. All that Mr. Mcintyre
could be induced to say was: Your
report in The Herald a few days ago
covered the situation pretty thorough
~, and was practically correct. Mr..
O'Rourke handed in his resignation,
and, as l understand it, he is going. but
/ think not at once. No. l do not
know who will succeed him.
1t is known now that tomorrow Mr.
O'Rourke will commence a cleanup at
the mill, which is expected to be thor
ough, so as to demonstrate the July re-
suit. Immediately following the clean
up test run will be made on certain
ores, the result OF which, it is said will
determine and mean much as TO future
operations.

Logan, July 31.-J. r. Edwards of this
city came down from the hills south
east of Paradise yesterday He owns a
claim there called the Queen of the
Hills. and he reports "a new strike
having been made during last week.

to be prospect; it is a mine After
driving tunnel in 10 feet he has en-
countered a vein of copper ore that is
nearly twenty feet in width The ore
is very rich. and. he says, is in place.
1t will cost about $500 to make a wagon
road to the mine, and work on it will
doubtless be commenced at once Mr..
Edwards is much elated over the find.
The mine is about twenty-five miles
from Logan, in the extreme southeast

IRON CAP SHIPMENT.
Car to Be Sent On Which Much
Depends.
(special Correspondence.l


Silver City, July S1.-The writer has
just learned of Mr.. Lee, who has
charge of the Mammoth company's
pumping plant in West Tintic. that the
owners of the Iron Cap mine would
send in a car OF ore next week, and
possibly this. to the Salt Lake market.
The mine is owned by Frank Schuyler
of the Picnic. DR.. j. f. Hosmer and
others, principally residents of Silver
City and from repeated tests showing
an iron value equal. and at times in
excess of the Dragon Iron, they feel
warranted in believing they have a
money-snaker. Mr.. Lee said that T.
r. Jones of Salt Lake guaranteed to
find a steady market for the ore from
the Iron Cap if a carload lot would
meet the requirement, consequently the
returns from the lot soon to go forward
viii be anxiously awaited.

THE LOSSH is So, 100000
THE FLAMES HURRIED ON Be
FORE THE FURY OF A GALE.
EXPLODING DYNAMITE ADDED TO TERROR
The Houses Were of Pine Timber and Buried
Like Tinder-. Help Was Summoned From
Cripple Creek But The Fire
Ran Its Course.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Aug. 21.-Fire
has entirely destroyed the business por-
tion of Victor, causing "a loss, estimated
at $2,O00000. Beginning shortly after
noon, the fire ragged until might, CONSUME
ing everything in its path. 1t had its
origin, it is thought, in the Merchants
Cafe, adjoining the Bank of Victor. A.
strong wind from the south famed the
flames and in few minutes all the
surrounding houses were afire.
Help was summoned from Cripple
Greek, but the town had been built in
the early days of the camp and was of
pine timber for the most part, which
burned like tinder. Efforts were made
to stop the progress of the flames by
blowing up buildings in their path by
means of dynamite, and all the promis
nent hills have roared with the explo-
sions, but the effort was in vain.
The fire burned the Bank of Victor,
the postoffice the Victor BarHSing Conn
pany, the Western Union Telegraph of
flee and the office of the Colorado Tele-
phone Company, the Hotel Victor and
the great shaft houses of the Gold Coin
Mining Company and its ore bins, amon@
the largest III the Cripple Greek dis
trict
From there the flames swept northward
by the gale which was blowing and never
stopped until they had taken the Flor
ence and Cripple Greek depot and the
fine new depot of the Midland Terminal
Road. All the buildings between these
are total losses, with all their contents.
The scenes of the great Cripple Greek
fire We're duplicated. Hurrying before
the roaring flames went men, women and
children, carrying with them what they
could snatch from the flames, racing for
their lives The crash of buildings torn
asunder by dynamite and the crackle
of the flames as they consumed the dry
buildings, FASTENED their flight, and the
pail Of smoke added terror to the spec
tacle. A special train was placed at the
command of the city and the Florence
by Cripple Greek Railroad and three
companies of firemon, with apparatus
were rushed to the scene. They worked
all afternoon in vain endeavor to stop
the rush of the flames
The residence portion of the city has
suffered comparatively little, but the
business portion is paralyzed and
suffering is bound to follow.
1t is thought at this time g o'clock
p. m) that the fire can be prevented
from spreading any further The loss
has now reached $2000,000 The first
house was built in Victor I'M October,
1898.
The fire was gotten under control this
evening. Conservative estimates place
the loss at two and one-half million dol
lars.
