tically under control at 9 o'clock tonight.

set aside for that purpose.
The fire was still burning this morn
ing. The ire department Of Bayoune and
the fire fighting force of the Standard
OIL Company kept up their struggle
against the flames during the night. but
their efforts az far as saving burning
property was OF little avail. About 3:l5
o'clock this morning another tank ex-
ploded with loud roar. and the naphtha
which the tank contained spread In all
directions. None of the injured were In
a serious condition today.
Many Of the fighters. who had worked
continually for twenty-four hours were
cor PEELED to quit today. from exhaustion
and exposure to the heat. The Standard
oil Company brought recruits from vari-
Gus points to add to the fire brigade, with
q hope OF saving the main portion of the
old works. should these buildings be
destroyed the companys plant at Bay
onnc will be wiped out of existence and
the loss will be increased several mill

WICKENBURG NEWS
Preparations Complete for Gold Dredg-
 ing in the Hassayampa.

Wickenburg, Ariz., Sept. 23.-(Special correspondence of tha ReDublican.)- w. E. Deity. mining engineer of the Maricopa Copper Mines company. was in town this week and went out to Black Rock district and made an ex- animation of the Gunther property for an eastern company. He goes to Pres colt, Sunday, to ma-le an examination near there. MT. Deity is one of the few highly educated mining engineers that has practical knowledge of conditions that exist in Arizona, and is not a man that will turn down a proposition with merit.
 The Marcopa Copper Mines company expect to put on a larger force of men in October, doing development work. A heavy rain would supply them with water all winter as they now have their reservoirs completed.
 MT. B. C. Redlon has completed he dredSe up at the box canyon and will be ready to commence active work shortly. Greenleaf. the engineer who installed the machinery. left for his home in Kansas City last Wednesday. He will return about the first of No vember to take charge of the dredge. and having had the benefit of years of experience, he says he can make a sue cess of the venture if there is gold on the bedrock. and no Hassayamper will say that there is not.
 Charles Case is the ICnesomest man in town, and shed real tears when he sent his prize dog Nellie" back to WI chita, Kas.. last week. He says it will make his daughter happy, SO is satis- fled.
 Mir. J. w. Burson came in Wednesday to meet Mrs. Burson. who came down from Prescott Wednesday night. Mir. and Mrs. Burson have many friends here who are glad to know that they will spend the winter here and at their camp in Black Rock district.
 Word came in from Burson's camD that very rich vein of copper ore had been shown up at a depth of 360 feet. MT. Burson confirmed the report and says that it is the richest that he has had and as result he Is well pleased.
Arizona republican., 1900-09-25

The showing MT. Burson has E of vast importance, as it shows that the ledges and ore veins go down, and when that Is proven beyond question. every claim in that section will have cash value.
 Mir Joe Hamlin, superintendent Of the Crown Point. was in town Thurs day night, on his way to the Republi- can county convention of YaVapai county. He was accompanied by MT. Allen Snowgrass, of Whpsaw mine, who goes to Prescott for the same pur- pose.
 Mir Geo. w. Middleton came down from Prescott Thursday night, accom- panied by MT. Clarence King. the cel=- brated mining expert and chief mining engineer for the North American E,X- ploration company. They went ou; to the Groom property that this company is operating, about two weeks ago. Work was suspended, awaiting the ar rival of MT. King to direct further op- erations. It is hoped by everyone in- terested in this section that he will be pleased with the showing made by MT. Middleton. and advise developing the property on an extensive scale. Min ing men generally seem to feel that the key to the whole situation lies at ar near this property and the operations of this company, as 1t is considered generally that the showing for big copper producer is gretaer Tn that i'm mediate vicinity than any other part of the Black Rock district.
 Dr. J. M. Evans came Tn from his camp this week on his way to Phoenix. His company has the Sullivan property near Gilbert station, and the Gunther property on Slim Jim bonded. and has been engaged the past week in making camp and getting in shape to put on force of men. One car lao1 of mining timber is now on the ground and he Is expecting that hIs SO-horse power gasoline hoist may arrive any day. All of the boys report that the doctor is of the right kind and is q valuable man for the district.

LAUGH AND GET WELL.
Theory of the Laughter Cure for Many
 of the Ills Flesh is Heir to.
sCcti II.

Laugh and grow fat" is a saying that contains deal of truth and is worthy of attention by many sufferers in body as well as in mind. We in- stinctively associate jollity with rotun- dity and a sour disposition with a spare form. The rule is, O. course. not with out exception. for we often see people with little propensity to take on fat who are full of fun and sunshine. Such persons are not boisterous. however. They are possessed, it may te of a quiet humor, are happy and make oth- CTS happy. and they smile easily and perhaps laugh softly; but they do not laugh loud.
 The cOnVulSiVe movements that We call laughter exert a very real effect upon the physical organism. They cause the arteries to dilate. so that they carry more blood to the tissues of the body, and the heart to beat more rap idly. so that the flow of the blood through the vessels is hastened. In other words laughter promotes the very best conditions for an increase of the vital processes-the tissues take up more nutritive material and the waste products are more promptly removed.
 Not only is laughter an accompani- ment and an expression of joy, but it even creates joy. Often a good laugh, excited in spite of ones self, will change the current of thought and im-
