THE HOT SPRINGS HOTEL.
The New Manager, Mr. Baker, and His
Wife, Now in Charge of That
Place-Much Improve
ment Contem-
plated.

e. w. Baker and wife, the new
host and hostess of the Hot Spring
Hotel, arrived here Monday ant
have taken charge of that institu
ton. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker hav,
had a great deal of experience il
thst line and will give entire sat
isfaction. Courteous and consid
crate to everyone, they will soor
place that institution on its feet.
The hotel is to be entirely refur.
nishded from top to bottom, the
furniture for which is now at Wal.
colt and will be here in a very
short time.
The dining room will be in
charge of Mrs. L.. Gels who will
close up her restaurant and board.
ing house for the present. Mrs.
Gels has the reputation of furnish
ing a first class table and the din
ing room will be in competent
hands.
New bath tubs, six in number,
and each weighing 1900 pounds,
have been ordered from Chicago
and will be put in position worry
soon. These tubs, which are of
highly polished slate, are to take
the place of the new ones of por-
celain lined iron which have been
found totally unfit for use on ac-
count of the fact that the water
has corroded the porcelain. The
new tups are 6 #. 6 in. in length,
2 #. 6 in. wide and 2 #. 4 in. deep.
Once they are in position they
will last a life time-and then
some.
An addition to the hotel,-a
building to contain fine bath rooms
communicating directly with the
hotel,-is under contemplation.
In connection with this contem-
plated addition. the owners are
thinking of putting in a swimming
and plunge bath and a gasoline
engine or ran with which to pump
the water into the Tubs.
Saratoga can congratulate her.
self on the fact that the Hot
Springs Hotel has at last fallen
into the hands of a manager who
will make of it what should have
been done years ago a first class
hotel and sanitarium.

BURLINGTON MAY COME.
That Road Will Build From Guernsey
To Elk Mountain This Coming
Summer-Probably to
Saratoga Next
Year,

Every paper n picks up now
is full of the news of the building
westward of the Burlington from
Guernsey, and all reports agree
that the extension is to be to Salt
Lake city and on to the Pacific
coast. One point in Wyoming
which is mentioned always as the
objective point is Elk Mountain,
where that company has large and
valuable coal possessions, and all
reports agree that the line will be
built to that point this coming
summer.
There can be no question but
what the road, if built to Elk
Mountain, will be extended west
through this place and either pass
through the mountains at the head
of Grand Encampment creek, very
near the Battle Lake region, or
o the point of the mountain
near the head of Jack creek.
That Saratoga will have railroad
communication before this time
1901, is quite certain, and it is
equally certain that the coming of
the Burlington will hurry the
building of the Wyoming South
ern, or a branch from the main
line of the Union Pacific.

THE HERCULES.
A Well Named Copper Mine in the
Outskirts Of the City of Battle
Lake That will Soon As
tonish the World.

Postmaster j. M. Thomas Jr.
and W. J. Russell came down from
Battle Lake Sunday aud went OF
out to Rawlins. MI. Thomas
said:
"You can rest assured that the
owners of the Hercules are feeling
finely over the prospects in that
mine now. We are down 200 feet
in the shaft, at which level we ran
a drift north to cut the contact.
Within ID feet distance from the
shaft we cut one vein of 5 feet, one
of 6 inches, one of l foot and one
Of 3 feet, all running from 20 to
25 per cent. copper, and all dip
ping in the same direction. The
drift is now in 100 feet and as
soon as the diorite dyke is cut on
the north of the contact, we in
tend to put in machinery that will
work the mine at a depth of 800
to 1000 feet,
"Tbe present indications are
that when our shaft reaches a
depth of so feet more that all the
veins in the dyke will have come
together and that we will have a
large vein of high grade sulphide
ore. 1t is the opinion Of mining
experts who have examined the
mine that we should have the larg-
est copper proposition in the en-.
tire district. The dyke is 300 feet
wide and it is believed that the
whole body will run from s to 10
per cent. copper
ave are now running three
shifts and pushing the work as
fast as men and steel can do it.

the Union Pacific to establish a
passenger and freight depot at

passengers there in time to take
each train out. Rendle Bros. are
talking also of sending some of
their freight teams up into the
valley to help move the immense
quantity of freight now coming
into the country.

Operations Resumed ON Both Sides in

isheS Reported.

Manila, Nov 19.-(First uncensored
news by cablegram since the Amer
lean occupation) Last week wit
messed very considerable increase in
rebel and American activity in the
field. Many skirmishes occurred and
several engagements in northern and
southern Luzon. The termination of
the rains permits a resumption of OPP
erations on both sides.
The Americans are undertaking a
series Of aggressive movements
against the insurgents, notably upon
the island of Samar, against Gen.
Lukban, whose forces hold the entire
island with the exception Of three
coast towns. each of which is gar
risoned by two companies of the
Twenty ninth infantry and platoon
of artillery.
The rebels are continually shooting
into the garrisoned towns, and our
forces have not been sufficient to re-
taliate effectively. Commerce in
Samar has been at a standstill and
most of the influential inhabitants
have departed. Gen. Hare has arrived
there with $50 men. He will bring
eight companies of the Second infan-
try from the island of Martinique as
they may be needed and will proceed
energetically to crush Gen. Lukban.
Meanwhile United States gunboats
will patrol the coast to prevent the
escape of the insurgent leader. Lux
ban still holds three members of the
Fortythird regiment prisoners.
Notable among the weeks engage
ments was Gen. Grants advance with
Maccabebe and American scouts upon
a rebel stronghold 35 miles north of
Manila, which was defended by 200
insurgents armed with rifles. After
skirmishing and fighting for the
greater part of day and night the
enemy was dislodged from the noun
tain fastness and immense quantities
of rice and stores. with ammunition,
were destroyed. Fifty Filipinos were
killed and many others wounded. The
insurgents carried off their dead. The
American losses were II privates and

Oswayo, Pa. Nov. 19.-Four men were
burned to death in a fire which on Sun
day destroyed the McGonigal house. a
threestory frame building, the hotel
barn and the opera house. The three
buildings were burned to the ground
in half an hour from the time the fire
started The dead are: Arthur Fetch
er, bookkeeper for the Pennsylvania
Stave company. home in Boston; Mich
ael Russell, employe Pennsylvania Tan
ming company, Oswayo; William Null
haney, of Rexford. n. Y; Hugh Jamer-
son, of Alfred. n. Y. Nothing remains
of the four unfortunate men but few
charred bones.
The town has no fire department, the
only protection being a pump at the
tannery. The fire originated in the Me
Gonigal house from an overpressure
of natural gas. There were 80 people
in the hotel, which was a fimsy struc-
ture. Three men were seriously injured.
Otto Kauley, a gas line walker of
Coudersport. Pa, was burned about
the face and arms; Jerry Daley sus-
tanned a broken shoulder by jumping
from the third story of the hotel, and
one man had leg broken in jumping.
Several others received minor injuries
and slight burns in making the exit
from the building. There were many
narrow escapes, most of the occupants
jumping from the windows. The
flames licked up the hotel building as
if it were built of finder. The tannery
employees connected line of hose to
the burning buildings, but on account
of some trouble with the pump there
was considerable delay in getting a
stream on the fire. and the flames had
got beyond control. The property loss
is estimated at SIS 900.

HUMBUG CRY OF FRAUD.
S1anderOus ImputatiOn of AItgeId
Denied by Democratic
Journal.

EX-Gov. Atlgeld elevates his raven
voice to cry that Mckinley was elected
by fraudulent votes throughout the
country and that ,OCO fraudulent votes
for Mr.. Mckinley were cast in Cook
county, Ill. This is childish if not i'm
beetle 1t indicates a mild form of
mental alteration on political subjects.
The charge is a slanderous imputa-
ton on the characters of all the mem
bers of the election boards in the 1900
election precincts of Chicago. There
are 5000 members of these boards. one
half of whom are democrats The
charge amounts to an allegation that
5000 democratic election officers in Chi
cago conspired with 5000 republican
election officers to place 10000 fraudu-
lent votes in the ballet boxes.
There is one democratic watcher and
one republican watcher at the polling
place in each precinct The watchers
are selected by the party committees
because they are persons of high integ-
rity. devoted to their respective parties.
and OF peculiar sagacity, especially in
the detection of frauds Mr.. Altgeld's
allegation is charge against every
democratic watcher at the polls of the
1900 precincts in the city.
Gov. Altgeld was the mammoth ''hoo-
doo'' of the democratic party in the re-
cent campaign. In each state that he
visited and where he made campaign
speeches he drove more votes away from
the democratic party than are num-
bered in his charge as to fraudulent
voting in Chicago. Chicago Chronicle
