WONDERFUL NERVE
OF ONE GUEST

New York, March 1s.-Edward p.
Wells, his wife and daughter, Of James
town, N. D., had apartments on the sixth
floor Of the Windsor hotel on the Fifth
avenue side, and were watching the st.
Patricks day parade when the fire broke
out. They had hardly time to realize
that something had gone wrong when the
smoke rolled through the corridors and
their escape was cut off in that direction
The window was their only object, and
to jump was sure death. In a frenzy, Mr..
Wells besought his family to remain
calm, and he then proceeded with great
dehberation to measure the chances of
escape. He first paid out the fire escape
rope in the room until he saw that it
would reach the ground, and then, haul
ing it back, he quickly but securely fas-
tened it about his daughters waist. He
then lifted the form of the girl to the
window ledge and slowly allowed it to
descend. He wound the rope tightly
about his hands and braced his feet
against the wall of the room, meanwhile
slowly paying out the rope to the end of
which dangled the almost inanimate
body of his daughter. Smoke and flame
shot out at intervals from the windows
below but the passage of the girl was not
retarded, and in a few seconds she had
reached the ground. There she was
quickly taken care of by firemen, who
released her and the rope was quickly
hauled back by Mr.. Wells and exactly
the same performance was gone through
with in the case of his wife, who had
meanwhile stood at his side by the WIN
dow
For the third time Mr.. Wells pulled the
rope back after he had seen his 'family-in
safety, and then made preparations for
his own descent. He recognized seem
ingly that it would be impossible for him
to go down hand over hand, and knowing
the decorations that would result if he
slid down the rope, he first carefully tied
UP his hands in towels. Then he clam
bered out on the window sill and swung
clear. He shot down like lightning, but
there were ready hands below to break
the fall, and when the bandages had
been removed from the mans hands it
was found that he had not even a blister
on them A great shout went up from
the crowd as they saw Mr.. Wells land in
safety. He asked for his family, thanked
the firemen and others for their assist
ance and disappeared. He found tenn
porary shelter with his wife and daugh-
ter with friends on Fifth avenue, and his
subsequent place Of abode was not as
certained.

PEOPLE COULD NOT
FIND THE STAIRS

| New York March 1S-Building Inspec-
tor Bunnel says he has found no VIOLA
ton of the building laws in the Windsor
hotel.
1T was an old building, built many
years ago. The rapidity with which the
flames spread was due to the fact that
the building was not fire proof. There
| We're no fire proof steps in the corridors,
such as arc required in all modern build
ings and the corridors We're swept by a
great draught that went through them.
How many fire escapes We're there? Why,
the rear and sides of the building We're
literally covered with them and ropes
were in every room. AS is usually the
case, the people were frantic from fear
and did not know enough to use the
escapes"
Have you any criticism to make be-
cause there We're not fire escapes on the
front of the building, presumably be-
cause it would detract from its orna>
mental appearance" was asked.
NO." replied the inspector. II have no
criticism to make on that score. Such
matters are under the jurisdiction of the
building department. The stairs? I
want to say right now that two thirds of
the people who live in hotels today don't
know the location of the stairs; that is,
it would take them several minutes to
find them. The reason is that hotel pat
rons always use the elevators. The law
requires that a red light be placed at
the head of each stairway, in fact that
every exit be marked by red globe. Be-
sides, diagrams of exits are posted con-
spicuously, but people pay little atten-
ton to such things. Of course, If the
building had been fire proof it would
have been compare lively easy to subdue
the flames. Under the present law, the
best one ever enacted, SO far as the fire
department is concerned, all buildings
more than 35 feet high, which are in
tended for use as schols, theaters or ho-
tells, must be fire proof
Asked if it was true that the depart
ment had been slow in responding to the
alarm, Chief Bonner Of the fire depart
ment, said: :-sss~~
"It was Not. There was delay, how
ever, in sending in the alarm. It must

New York, March 18.-Flames which
originated from the igniting of lace

o'clock yesterday afternoon, just as the

in jumping from windows and in rushing
through the roaring flames in the corri-

MINING NOTES.

George Truman and Lou Gibson re-
turned Tuesday fom their mines south
CT Casa Grande, says the Florence
Tribune They brought back with
them some very rich specimens OF
copper ore from an immense ledge,
which promises to become a world
beaten. They are very enthusiastic
over their find, and the Tribune hopes
thsir fondest expectations may be
realized
The Pioneer mir ing company, about
ten miles east of iFlorence, is one of
the most promising sections in the
territory. A few years ago consider
able work was done there in mining
for silver, says the Florence Tribune,
but since that much despised mstal
has become drug on the market on
account of unfavor3ble legislation
many of the claims were abandoned
1t is only recently that attention has
beien directed &c the fine showing of
copper, and when such thorough min
ing men as H. B. Altman and George
B. Chittenden put up their money on
the proposition it is safe to say there
is something worth mentioning in the
district Ma. Altman paid $4,000 for
some claims just north Ef the canal
head gate, which he is now developing
and on which there is a splendid show
ing of high grade copper GRE. This
week Mr. Chittenden bought four adj
joining claims from Messrs Stone,
lMcGee and Harris for $4,000 cash. The
same mineral belt crosses the river,
and the surface showing is FULLY as
