 SADFATE FOrtheSecOnd Time in Less than a YearFire Again
 Comes to Doom it.
An Area of Two Business Blocks Goes up-Losses are HeaU-0ne Human Life Said 10 be
 Lost in the Fire.
From Fuaays Daily.

For the second time in less than a year and for the third time in less than two years, fire has cursed the thriving town of Jerome. This morning about l0:30 o'clock telegrams and telephone messages to Prescott from that point gave the sad news that another frs was rag ing, and that the wholesale destruc- tion of property was in progress
 The absence of sources of inform stion was greatly to be regretted for the time, but later this afternoon communication was opened up via the telephone route, and enough was learned to give some idea of the holocaust.
 Our informant in Jerome stated that the fire had Its origin ID the Leland hotel, a two-story frame structure situated in the center of the town, and travelled 10 all small buildings around and to the rear of 1t. From there it went across to the Grand View hlock, in a northwest ernly direction. and travelled in that course to the compsny's new hos pital, licking up everything along that section with the exception of the company's new store aud Con O'Keefe's, and partially destroyed the Connor building. To the south the flames spread across the street and licked up numerous small schacks of recent construction, the postOfice, however, escaping. The Iovera market was but partially damaged. The area oi the ire IS about two blocks m extent, and some forty buildings went up.
 \ report was in circulation m Je- rome that the remains of a woman mad been seen in the ruins of the Iceland hotel. but owing to the con fusion prevailing nothing definite could be learned.
 The fire was conquered by means of giant powder aud almost super human effort on the part of the people, ho hose being on hand by which to utilize the water stored on the hill in the tanks. The estimated 'oss will reach at least Sl00,000, and coming as the fce did in the face of unusually good prospects ahead Tor the town, is indeed to be regretted.

 Considered,

Considered.
 Following right on the heels of news that Whipple was to be re- gsrrisoned and again to be occupied by the military, we are permitted to state that letters and telegrams are being received making earnest in quiry into the various conditions that exist in and around Whipple with a view of selecting adjacent grounds on which 10 erect a saRi7 tarium and comfortable accommoda- ton for the nations sick. The ground in area desired is some forty acres. and letters from the war and medical departments speak of the elevation and the lack Of humidity in the atmosphere as being decided ly in favor of sufferers from con sumption, malaria or other levers, and that it has been deemed sd- vlsable to favorably consider this matter, and if possible secure a con- cession of ground from the citizens of this county.
 The matter IS being considered to- day by committee of our citizens, while a favorable report has also been sent in.
 Surgeon General Aiuswoi h, who formerly was stationed at WhiPple, as we'll as many local and outside men of prominence, are said to be- hind the project, and no doubt is f felt but what the matter will re- ceive favorable consideration at Washington.
 This project in itself will call for the expenditure of very large sum of money. both in establishing and and maintaining, and like any other government project is to be hailed with pleasure.

These mines are said to be looking well, and to handle their products is the mOtivs, as well as t0 supply thelL with ms terial.
 Patrick Fitzgerald, who has been in charge of new copper camp in the Agua Fria country, came in yes terdoy. He says that Mir, Houghton the superintendent has a force of 10 nen at work, and that development work certainly gives encouraging re- suits, and the impression prevails that a big copper vein cuts through tbat section. It IS to be hoped that the practical work will develop only the richest.
 The Crowned King company are at present engaged in remodeling their plans in and around the mine of that name, and placing it in such shape for future work that will nee essitste some time to accomplish. Heretofore the ore of this mine has been brought out through the tun- nel, but a new hoist has been placed

ruptcy statistics for the past year are
rather serious reading, showing an in
crease OF 10 per cent in the number of re-

ties of s5,57000O to a total aggregate of

The estimated loss to creditors works out
at $29, ,155, 900, or S61O0, 900 more than in 1897
This state OF things is attributable to ex-
cessive speculation and failures among the

majority in one of the new volunteer reg-
ments to be recruited under the order Of
Secretary Root, promulgated on Thursday, is
