BIG FIRE AT YMIR, B. C.
Many Miles of Timber and Numerous
Buildings Destroyed.

YMIR, B. c., August ia disastrous
fire is raging about Ymir. Many square
miles of timber have been burned and a
number of mine buildings, wagon roads
and bridges have been destroyed.
From the cyanide works Of the Ymir
company to the Foghom mine, a distance
of five miles, every building has been de-
stroyed. The cyanide plant was saved by
the herculean efforts of employees, who dug
holes, in which they immersed .themselvs
in water up to their necks. while they
handled the hose in short shifts. The build
ings of the Wilcox and Black Rock mines
were obliterated. At the former mine the
men took refuge in the tunnels, into which
the wind blew the flames, which ignited
the timber. With a meager supply of wa
ter, handled in tin cups, the men kept the
fire from spreading until the danger was
passed

STILL CLAIMS TO HAVE MAJOR

The osgood Faction, on the Other

Majority.
J. W. GATES PLAINTIFF

DENVER, Colo, August 19.-The legal
battle for control OF the Colorado Fuel end
Iron Company was resumed this morning
in the federal court, Judge Ryner hearing
further arguments on the application Of
John w. Gates and his friends for an in
junction to restrain the officers of the COM
pany, headed by ]. c. Osgood chairman
of the board of directors, from interfering
in any way with the voting OF the stock
held by the Gates faction at the annual
meeting of the stockholders tomorrow.
Joel F. Vale and r. w. n. Cutcheon pre-
sented the case of the complainants, and ID.
C. Beaman and c. J. Hughes represented
the defendants.
On behalf of the Gates faction II was al
legged that a secret meeting, held July 80,
of the Colorado members of the board OF
directors of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company the bylaws were so amended
that proxies held by John w. Gates and
his associates may be thrown cut at the
annual election.
osgood Has the Organization.
The chairman of the meeting appoints
tellers empowered to pass upon the proxies
they are presented, being practically a
committee on credentials, and as the tellers
will be Osgood men they Will reject votes
supporting Gates. 1t is alleged.
Gates asks the court to order that a
chairman be selected by a majority OF
votes. The gist Of the claims of the Os-
good faction follows:
Sixty thousand bona fde votes held by
Chairman Osgood and his friends represent
the majority of the real holders of Fuel
and Iron stock. A majority Of the proxies
held by John w. Gates represent a gam
bling class not permanently Interested in
the company, and secured by Gates by
actual payment of money. This is contrary
to the laws of New York. Some of the
proxies may be forgeries, and in any event
the list is illegal and should be thrown out.
OsgOod has repeatedly refused TO conspire
with Gates in turning the Fuel and Iron
company over to the stoti trust, and lhus
incurred the ill-will OF Gates.'

ANOTHER
Albuquerque to Have an Industrial In
dian VILLAGE.

An industrial Indian village will be
the next interesting addition to Albu-
querque. A Citizen reporter was in
formed by Herman Switzer, manager
of the curio department at the Alva-
RADIO, that he has just received a letter
stating that the Indian blanket weav
ers and pottery makers, who are to
to start.
A small tract of land near the city
will be purchased for the home of
these skilled artists. They will be per
mitted to build their own homes after
their own style. There will be several
Navajos, who will build their hogans,
and live as is their native custom The
Pueblo Indians, who will make the
fancy pottery, will be permitted to
build their adobes. The silyersmiths
and basket weavers will build homes
in the village. The weavers, pottery
and basket makers will be changed
from time to time, each change will be
made for more skilled workmen. Some
OF the Indians will be brought from
San Domingo, Acoma, and Santa Clara.
The Indians from Santa Clara are
adept in black pottery making, and
those from Acoma make the decorated
jars. The new arrivals will have as
sistance in building their homes, n
every effort will be put forth to make
them as attractive and artistic as pos
sible. 1t will be an industrial village
of the highest type, only very valuable
curios will be produced. 1t will great
ly add to the fame Albuquerque is ac.
quiring as one of the greatest curio
stations in the country. Some of the
Indians will arrive before the terri
torial fair, and the selecting of the site
of the village and the erection of the
hogans and dobes will be commenced
at once.
The Navajos have their summer and
winter hogans. The summer hogans
are built by erecting poles and covered
with branches and leaves, and the win
ter hogans are more in the nature of
a mud dobe, being a dugout covered
with mud. Each representative will
live after the custom of their native
village, which will make the village as
interesting as the curios, which will
be produced.

BEAR STORY.
Or. earns and w. Y. Walton are Tree
Climbers.

A pretty good story comes over the
mountains from Eastview about that
recent bear hunt in which w. Y. Wal
ton and DR.. earns were principals. 1t
seems the gentlemen named went to
the mountains with understanding that
two young men of the n~eighborhood
were to join them at night. The young
men were a little late arriving. Just
before their arrival a big black bear.
sympathizing with the gentlemen in
their futile attempts to locate him,
came boldly out of the bushes to the
spring, neal which they were camped.
for a drink.
From this point stories differ but the
best authenticated account is to the
effect that the doctor went up n tree
audibly writing a prescription absent
mindedly as he went and Mr.. Walton
went up another tree to fiil it. Bruin,
whose knowledge of Latin by reason
of his acquaintance with the native
tongue, rightly guessed their occupa-
ton by their jargon, wisely concluded
to vamose and when the expected
young men arrived they heard bruin
muttering as he went up the hill that
the bullets of city nimrods possessed
no terrors for him, but the result of a
combination between a druggist and a
doctor would paralyze even a bears
constitution with which piece of logic
he disappeared over the mountain,
leaving the bold hunters from the
Duke City to wonderingly ask each
other the question, why are we
here?"
Neither of the gentlemen interested
denies the story.
