COSTLY BLAZE.
Damage to Amount of $4,000 Caused
in Local Establishment,


The grocery establishment Of Browning &
Middleton, at COS PENNSYLVANIA avenue
northwest. was visited, by fire about 6
o'clock this morning. and only the prompt
work of the fire department saved the
building and stock of groceries from total
destruction. Private watchman Nicholas
Miles was doing duty III the Vicinity of the
store when he discovered smoke issuing
from the cellar. He called to Policeman
Whalen, who was on duty at the Baltimore
and Potomac depot, and the latter turned in
an alarm. In a few minutes seven compa-
MES of the fire department came from diff
ferent directions, and no time was lost in
getting to work.
The work was directed by Assistant Chief
wagner and the foremen of the several
companies, and the cellar was soon flooded.
No one knows what caused the fire. The
flames started from a part of the cellar re-
no fire in the. building. When the fremen
reached the building the flames had made
their way across the cellar to the elevator
shaft and had burned the elevator rope to
a point above the first floor. A delay of a
few minutes would probably have resulted
in the flames reaching the upper stories,
and the fremen would have had a hard
task In the matter of saving the structure.
AS 1t was. but little trouble was encoun-
tered, and the flames did no damage above
the basement.
Most Of the damage was done by smoke
and water. The damage Is estimated at
from $1,000 to s.. 500 and is covered by In
surance. No Interruption was caused to
business.

Large Production Of Mines
in the Wickenburg District.

The mines in the districts con
tributory to Wickcnburg have con
tributed upwards OF %25, ,O0O,000-to
the wealth of the country, every
cent of which has been good clean
gold, the metal we are all after.
Where is there any other section
in Arizona which can excel this,
or even equal it? If the truth was
known, the Vulture mine near here
has already produced more than
most of the entire counties in AriZ-
ona, in gold, it having record of
about SIT, 100000. And the end is
not yet, for the Vulture is hardly
scratched, considering the size Of
the ore body, The greatest vertical
workings being considerable less
than 500 feet. Experts say the
Vulture stands o good chance Of
producing more in the future than
it has in the past.

A. II. GAMAGE WILL
START THE WORK
On the Denver Group & Somes
Mines at Once. Engine
Bought for Blower.

A. H. Gamage, who has been
spending the summer in Los
Angeles, recovering from injuries
received at the Denver group early
in the summer, returned to Wick
enburg Monday and will at once
start force of men at work on the
Denver group at Gilbert, develop
ing this promising property
Work will be continued on the tun-
mel being run along the big ledge
which crops so plainly from the
Gilbert Constellation road to the
summit of Denver Peak. The
Denver group has some Of the most
promising and prominent cropp-
ings in the Gilbert section and the
work done has proved more than
satisfactory to the owners. The
tunnel now being run will open up
the ledge to a depth Of nearly or
over thousand feet, when under
the peak, and if the ore values
hold out, the property will lie big
producer.
We are informed that Mr.. Gam
age will also start work ON the
Uncle Sam property, adjoining the
Denver group, for Mr. ". T. Somes
of Los Angeles. A gasoline engine,
pipe and track has been purchased
for the Denver group and is now on
the road.

GOOD ADVICE TO
THE INVESTORS.
The Mining and Scientific Press
Discusses Relation Between
Locator and Developer,

The Mining and Scientific Press
in q late issue has the following to
say about the old advice to pros
pectors, "Devclop your claims"
"The prospector has about as
much advice given him as anybod-
Y. And considerable Of it is worth
Just what it costs. There is advice
enough on hand now to run him a
while. What he really needs
more than good advice is good eX
ample During 1902 he has been
told, numerously, Develop your
claims" Might it not be well to
bestow little such admonitiom on
the investor. Ordinarily the only
thing that keeps a prospector from
developing his claims is lack OF
money. Sometimes the man who
buys the prospect for a very little
and makes a mine Ou5 of it tells
the prospector he was foolish to
sell so cheap, which is adding in
suit to injury. In such a paper as
this it is never Of any use to point
out a defect or want, without pro
offering a remedy or aid for its
need In this case the most likely
benefit would be to interest the
probable investor, not so much in
a mine-a going mine," as our
European friends would say-as in
developing mines. There is really
more in it for capital in making a
mine for itself than in paying big
money for a property already de-
veloped and paying. For this rea-
son this paper views with favor the
OF development COM
panies that have ample money to
invest, knowledge enough to invest
it sensibly, and business patience
enough to not be in too big a hur-
ry for returns. Good mines can
be made in the way indicated.
There are plenty OF good prospects
that deserve development, but it is
little use to tell the prospector DE
velop your claims" He has done
pretty well to discover them. ii
he had the money to develop his
claims, probably he wouldn't be a
prospector. He is trying hard e.
nough to develop them, but the
way indicated would be more in
the line Of good business"

and in Ore All the Time

The work at the Electra mine, It'd
miles northeast of here, betwed

it extensively and last spring tu|
