that the losses are fully covered by
insurance.
A parolnan discovered the fire
shortly after o'clock in the basement
Of F'rankel Bros department store.
4 general alarm was turned in, but
before the fire department. could make
any impression on the flames, which
had, by this time, spread with re-
narkable rapidity through the buili-
ing, it was seen that much valuable
property adjoining was beginning to
burn. The firemen Immediately gave
up trying to save the Frankel build
ing and devoted their energies to sur
rounding property, consisting of the
Des Moines National bank. the Utica
Clothing company and the Seeley de
partment store. All Of these buildings
caught fire repeatedly but finally at
O'Clock, when only one wall of the
"-story Frankc1 building remained up
right the danger Of complete destruc-
ton to the business center was con
sidered over. Outside of the Frankel
store, the damage was largely caused
by water. Destrur ton OF the electric
light, telephone. telegraph and trolley
wires caused much confusion during
the morning. The street car service
was almost entirely abandoned and
many factories depending upon cleo
tricity for power We're compelled to
remain closed during the dav.
A detailed account of the insurance
and estimated losses of the fire given
out later places the total loss of prop
erty at &G92,00O. with $6OO,000 insur-
ance F'rankels estimate their loss
at $3.50, ,o0), covered by 100000 insur-
ance.

But it is as elucidating new

He has tested this theory all over

satisfactory results and has by it's use
discovered new coal areas. Among
these are the Stockett mines of Mon
tana. which are involved in the pres
ent sUiJ, as well as large areas on the
Pacific coast.
The complaint alleges that Pearson
discovered the Stockctt mines by
