A Fire Hero.

During the fire Monday night, Will
B. Johnson ran to the store of Sum
mers, Barton & Parrot, his loafng
headquarters i'll time of peace, and
commanded the crowd to stand back
and let him get into some explosives.
The people fell back us if they feared
volcanic eruption, and Hero johnson
rushed into the store wading through
flames like Shedrack in the fiery fur
mace. In few moments he emerged
from the burning building with can
of nitro glycerine in one hand, a bottle
of liquetied air-the kind that made
Milwaukee famaus-in each pocket, a
stick of dynamite over each ear, and q
key of gunpowder black diamond
brand in the other hand. The flames
danced around him, but like the boy
on the burning deck, he just kept GO
ing in and out, until he had saved sew
eral wagon loads of deadly explosives
When the heap was examined the mex
morning it was found to consist o.
Studebaber wagon hubs, kegs Of wire
nails, barrels of Portland cement
boxes of horse shoes and several bot
ties of fire extinguishins liquids
johnson, however, is the hero of thu
hour. He didn't know they were no
loaded and recklessly risked his life t.
save his friends few dollars. As
fearless tire-fighter he has no equal il
the state. We are confident that had
he been a resident of st. Pierre b,
would have saved all the inhabitants o
that stricken city from Mont Pelee't
terrible vOmit.

visited the new diggings and pronOlInc-
ed the find genuine. The FIRST ledge
was discovered abont tyo weeks ago
by a prOspect0r named Mclean, but
the news was kept quiet until he and
his friends had an opportunity TO 10
cate several claims. Now there is con-
siderable excitement about RenfrO

feet wide, with free milling gold ore,
and a specimen shown similar 10 that
taken from the ISlnebird in the Tyson
camp. 1t is a blush quartz, heavily
charged with black iron. much Of which
is oxidized. i. is said TO show line re

yet been made. Mr. Griliiths says that

taken out. The weather has been de
