The recent narrow escape from a con-
tllgraton at Newfaue village suggests a
reference to the Wlliamsville fire depart
ment. We are not able, Of course, 10 own
a fire engine. The little hand fire extin-
gushers which seem TO be doing such good
service elsewhere have not yet been intro
duced here. There are two or three hook
ladders in the place but every man is on
such good borrowing terms with his neigh
Dor that it is doubtful If the owners would
be able TO locate them in an emergency.
Aside from the family mop-pail our entire
available fire fighting facilities could be
summed up In this one item-an ability to
sound an alarm.
We presume that the same conditions
exist in nearly all villages of like size with
ours but this does not alter the fact that it
means a great deal for any small village to
suffer a severe fire loss.
Although we have not had a building
burned in the village proper for nearly 43
years, and our people have got through
looking for such an event, still some of
them think that the time is now ripe to
make an expenditure of say $50 for fire
protection. 1t is proposed to purchase
eight or ten hand fire extinguishers, scatter
them around the village and have some OF
our young men schooled in their use;
also to have eight or ten suitable ladders
made and stored at some central point on
light hand truck with a good supply OF
fibre pals. This would make an equip
ment which, if properly used, would be ef-
fective in three cases out of five as fires
run. Polite but energetic solicitors will
soon call on our citizens for subscriptions
and liberal response is hoped for. When
financial success is assured an organization
will be effected

1t would seem that the need of first
class steamer was thoroughly demonstrated
on Saturday evening, when the low water
made it impossible for the present system
to throw water high enough to be of any

so apparent that steps will Immediately be
taken for securing one.

the United States, however. drills have
been carried on with bicycles, in which
some remarkable feats have been per

flag movements, etc, as carried on by
infantry, the wheelmen. with their rifles
and other equipment. have made forced
marches. taking their mounts through
woodland and marsh. have scaled fences
and accomplished other feats which IL
would be impossible to carry out with a
force OF cavalry. few years ago a
squad of cadets from the Northwestern
military academy at Chicago made a
forced march from Chicago 10 Washing

or showed, so that the road for wagon
use at many points was impossible. The
cyclists made the trip in much shorter
period than a squad OF cavaiN. although
for a considerable distance they were
obliged 10 carry their wheels on their
backs.
Since that time several companies have
been formed in the National Guard OF
Illinois. largely on the system devised by
Mai. II. p. Davidson, of Chicago. who
has made study OF the bicycle In war
fare. The commands have been taught
to ride over rough roads and to so over
tree stumps and branches without losing
their balance. As a result they can ride
their wheels In places where II would be
impossible for any one to do so without
special instruction. They can load and

 MT. H. H. Black, the well known village blacksmith at Grahamville, Sullivan county, N. Y., says: Our little son, five years old, has always been subject to croup, and so bad have the attacks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and used many medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is now our sole re. liance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucus and by giving frequent doses when the croupy symptom appear we have found that the dreaded croup is cured befLre it gets settled" There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains no opium pr other injuri- ous drug and may be given as conid- ently to a babe as to an adult For sale by L. w.

 oping some very promising mining claims which ne located recently in the Castle creek district in locality that has been prospected for thirty years. It is said he has as good gold prospects as can be shown in the ter ritOry.
 Enterprise; During the next six weeks the miners of Arizona will be very busy doing assessment work. Building new railroads and the adop- tion of better methods of treating ores has made many abandoned claims valuable, hence the amount of assess ment work done this year will exceed that of any previous season.
 Star: Frank Brownell came in yes- terday from the Quijotoa mining dis trict. He says that all three con- panies, the Milwaukee and Arizona, the Chief Mining X Developing Co.,, and the Casa Grande Co.,. are all push ing development work with good re- suits. Considerable ore is being shipped from the various mines. Mir. Brownell returned to Casa Grande last night.
 Jerome Reporter: Dan Goodwin is doing assessment work on a mining claim for Doctors Hart and Wood, on the hills about two miles below town, and is digging out some very rich cop- per ore. The ore is found in lime formation of the Verde Queen. There is also another grade of ore found with the copper thav carries good values in gold. Some of the pieces of copper ore from the claim carry as high as 35 per cent copper.
 Arizona Blade: MT. Louise Gilson brought to the Blade sanctum this week, some as fine specimens of cop- per ore as we ever saw It consists of solid chunks of red and black oxide, glance and carbonate. It is from the Peerless group consisting of four claims situated about fifty miles south Of Casa Grande. The claims have not been developed but in sur face showing they are hard to beat. They are owned by Messrs. Geo, E. rrueman aud Louis Gilson.
 Arizona Blade: The new shaft on the Henry and Ritch Bonanza claim has reached depth of twenty feet, and the last six feet of rock broken in the shaft were in ore of good grade. Samples of the ore brought to the Blade sanctum show heavy red oxide glance and carbonate of copper with some specks of native copper. MT. Henry made assays of this ore Monday and some of it went ss high as sixty three per cent copper and S9 % gold. The shaft will continue on down fifty feet aud then cross-cut will be made to determine the with of the ore body.
 Prescott Courier George Roh- peter, the successful mining man, is again in town. He smiles when he refers to his New Years Gift mine, which he recently purchased from John H. Kinney, which is a big low grade cyaniding proposition The ore carries s4 a ton gold and can be mined for 30 cents ton. A cyanide expert guaranteed to put up a l50 ton Cap acity plant on the property and treat the ore for 75 cents ton. There is a ledge of this ore l50 feet wide; at a depth of l50 feet cross-cut has been run 85 feet all in ore. Robpeter says it is proposition for big company
