Commercial Hotel to Change Hands.
/ The Commercial hotel which for the
past twenty years or more has been
run by Henry Newbert, is to pass into
new hands and the deal will be con-
summated to-day in all probability.
The new manager will be K. II. Bur-
rell who has had considerable expert
ence in the hotel business in the past.
and under his management it is safe to
say that the hotel will lose none of its
popularity and every effort will be
made to make it more popular than
ever. Mr.. Newbert bought the hotel
from Henry Webster, who succeeded
Frank Campbell when the hotel was
known as the American house. The
proprietors of the hotel were Newbert
& Starbird, but Mr.. Starbird after
wards sold out his interest to his. part

1t is the intention of Mr.. Newbert to
retire from business in which he has
been engaged so long. ..-...-.
Mr.. Burrell does not propose to let
his new duties in anyway interfere
with his duties as county treasurer
which he will look after with the same
watchful care as in the past. His son

gasoline hoist at the Yandell mine
and log washer on the same pro-
perty. This washer will undoub-
teddy put the huor spar in better
shape for grinding than even the
successful Watkins washer. which
has been in operation for the last
year or more.
The Hodge mine, in addition to
the present steam hoist and pump
will also have log washer and a
gasoline engine for power, and a
second gasoline engine for the
pump conveying water to the
washer. On the Brown property
log washer with gasoline engine
is in operation.
The big cut on the Blue d Mar
BILE land is showing the best body
of huor spar ever uncovered on
that property. Last month this
mine was by far the heaviest pro-
Queer of huor spar of any two of
the company's eight or ten work
ing mines. By deepening the
shaft in the Hodge mine and open
ing up new slopes, the largest bo-
dy of pure white grinding fuor
spar ever known is ready to hoist.
This mine has previously shown
breast of fiuor spar 20 feet wide,
but the present dew elopment in
creases even such a magnificent
showing materially. Mr.. Num-,
one of the directors of the Ken
lucky company, will visit Aurora,
Mo, this week, to inspect and con
tract for both a dryer and jig for
the benefit of the company's grow
ing plant in this city. When this
machinery is in place the galena
aud Jack will be separated, leav-
ing the fuor spar in almost
chemically pure condition. Alto
gether these improvements will
cost in the neighborhood of $l0,-
600 to $4,000. Mr.. Num- will
likely visit Joplin while away, and
we hope he will tell the readers of
the PRESS his "size up" of the
town that Jack built"

SCORES OF LIVES LOST.
The Steamer City OF Pittsburg
Burns.
Thrilling Experience Of Or. Daushtery

The steamer City of Pittsburg
burned Sunday morning between
four and five o'clock, at Ogden s
landing on the Ohio river between
Paducah and Cairo. on her way
down the river. The fire started
in the h Did among some hay and
cotton, aud was soon beyond CON
troll. Within n few minutes the
upper decks were swept by the
flames and the passengers were
penned in on all sides. The boat
WAS run ashore but too late TO al
low the passengers 10 escape, as
the upper part of the vessel was
IN flames. a panic followed, the
passengers rushed to the guards
and many jumped overheard to
take their chances between death
10y drowning and death by burn
ing. The loss of life was much
greater than il would have been
If the officers had been able TO con-
troll the terror stricken people.
There wero l45 people on board,
Of this number probably seventy
persisted. Those who were saved
only escaped in their night clothes
and lost everything they had. The
City of Pittsburg was one of the
finest steamers on the Ohio river.
DIR. w. r. Dsughtery, wife and
child. OF this city, were passengers
on the Inflated steamer They
were on their way to Admission,
Mo, where they intend to reside.
They were am ong the survivors.
Their experiences were thrilling.

his wife and child were heroic.

an option of purchase. The Akers
lease, under the control of the
same gentlemen, and on which
they are now working in a shaft
go feet in depth, shows a 3-foot
vein of 'ery fine huor spar. The
Akers property is in the same i'm
mediate vicinity as the Thurman
and Memphis.
So
Messrs G.. J. Atkins and l.. Ro-
senheid of Chicago drove through
our mining section very thorough
ly last week. They we're especial
ly taken with the l0-acre tract OF
land recently purchased by Messrs
Blue a. Num- from the Page q
Krausse estate. This piece of pro-
perty, while but ten acres in area,
carries one quarter of the entire
Columbia vein so far as the vein
is known, and has a II foot ledge
of carbonate of lead and carbonate
of zinc in combination, exposed
on the extreme surface, in fact,
boulders of it extending above the
surface. The gentlemen named
also visited the Columbia shaft
and prospected the vein to some
extent, both ways from the shaft.
Mr.. Atkins has had years of ex-
perience in the extreme West and
still holds large mining interests
in British Columbia, the town of
New Denver being practically his
property, From the Columbia the
party were driven to Salem and the
various mines and prospects
around that thriving village.
/ +
Up to the present date the ton
mage from the Blue q Num- pro-
perry of carbonate of zinc ready
for shipping amounts to $3.50 tons
This amount of ore has been Ia
ken from an open cut 10 feet in
height, Is feet wide and 1850 feet
long. OF course the first two or
three months of the development
period was spent in putting the
property in condition to operate.
That enormous yield can properly
be considered as covering but six
months, or an average of $40 tons
per month, and many weeks dur
ing the past winter tn, mine has
necessarily been idle on account
of the weather The opening of
the full vein forty feet wide will
increase the output to % or more
tons per day; 2490 cubic yards
have been removed, to aggregate
this tonnage, giving ton OF car
Donate to about every two-thirds
of cubic yard Of ground.

prising General Freight Agent of
the Illinois Central, whose head
quarters are in Evansville, was
touring this section last week and
making freight contracts on zinc
ore, fiuor spar, tobacco, etc. His
suggestion that belt line of rail-
road, taking in all OF the shipping
mines, would develope the country
much faster than is at present be-
ing done, receives the hearty plau
dts of everybody in the country.

The old Englishmsn who is SUI

man who wanted to know all about
the carbonate and Jack" and

it came from and what put it there

The cutting through the por-
phry dixie at the "Old Jim" mine
opens up an entirely new vein of
carbonate Of zinc, or perhaps one
should say that this dyke sepa-
rates the vein. AS it now stands,
the solid carbonate vein is fully
forty feet wide and the Lord only
knows to what distance il extends,
except that this vein crops out
away up on the hill overlooking
the works. As the PRESS has per
haps heretofore stated, it's daisy
and a lulu and several other
things.

ores. The doctors visit to Blue &
Nunn's property, the "Old Jim"
rather tended to divide his allegi-
ance between Indiana and Ken
tucky, as it was the greatest body
of ore he ever saw; but as for that,
it's the largest vein any one else
ever looked at.

or that the average of Iany coun-
try. Messrs Pope and Coulter
we're very much impressed with
the heavy per centage of lead, and
left for home with their grips full
of ore and themselves full of en-
thusiasm over this magnificent
prospect.

LIVE STOCK
IN BARN FIRE,
Twelve Horses and Thirteen
Cows Perish in Destruc-
tiOn of Farmers Barn.
WORK OF INCENDIARY,
All Seasons Grain and Farm
ing Implements of Serrick
Shallcross, Jr. Destroy
ed. Loss $4,000.

The large barn on the farm Of
Serrlck f. ShallcrosS, Jr. near MI d.
dletown, together with its contents
OF gram, farm implements. twelve
horses and thirteen cows was con-
sumed by fire, last night The work
is believed to have been that of an
lncendlary. The loss is estimated al
between $4,000 and $40, 500.
The barn was one of the finest in
New Castle County and in iaddiLion
to the live stuck which was shelter
ed in it. it contained about 1900
bushels of wheat and the farm i'm
plements used on the big farm.
1t was nearly midnight when the
reflections OF the fire awakened Mr..
Shallcross and his manager. Ey
the time they dressed and got out
OF doors the big building was one
seething mass OF flames.
The heat prevented them from
going near the building to rescue
the stock which moaned and bel
lowed until the flames licked up
their bodies, Seeing that it was
impossible to prevent the destruc-
ton of the barn the men turned
their attention to the dwelling and
barn cribs. The bell was rung and
inside of a short time many of the
neighborhood were on the scene. A
bucket brigade was formed and the
dwelling and other build ings there
by saved.
MI. Shallcross has ne doubt that
the fire was caused by an inceudiary.
