changed all this, and merchants now say
that our manufacturers will take advan-

out that our exports add up to the In

Some Very Promising Mines.

nent members of the Rob Roy Mining
Co.. were in town several days the first
of the week on business. They have
been spending the past few months at
the mines experimenting the develop
ment work at the Rob Roy group. and
will remain there throughout the sum
mer Both gentlemen are enthusiastic
over the showing already made on the
ledge which is being penetrated by two
tunnels. The samples of ore brought
down by Messrs Fife and Mcintyre show
good traces of gold and copper, and the
work of tunneling is hardly yet begun.
They are confident that within 300 or
400 feet they will strike some very
rich ore. which. from indications will
prove richer as the work progresses.
Stock in the Rob Roy has advanced
to 10 cents per share within the past few
days, and there is no promise that 1t
will remain long at this figure. With
the Elizabeth, already one of the best
paying mines, close neighbor, there is
every indication that the Rob Roy group

Thursday afternoon at 30 o'clock. July
o. after lingering illness of three weeks
duration, which began with severe
attack of pleurisy and later developed
into pleuro- pneumonia. The death OF
this prominent hotel man has been re-

the prime factor in a movement, the
deceased could safely be counted upon
to do his share. 1t was generally known
that the deceased was very sick man.
but that he would finally stem the tide
and win out in the battle for life was
never doubted by his most intimate
friends. a man of apparent physical
strength and great vitality, in the prime
of life and the 46th year of his birth
would naturally be expected to throw
off the disease eventually. The attend
ing physician held out hope to the be-
reaved family up to the day before his
demise.

A CORN FAMINE

or Cars to Haul It,
There is n great scarcity of corn in
burlington and unless shipments are soon
received there will be AN actual famine
50 far as that grain is concerned. The
trouble is not that there is no corn to
be bought but because there are not
engines and cars enough on the railroads
to haul the grain East. Immense guam
titles have been ordeveC by firms all over
Vermont, the Burlington dealers being
among the largest buyers but the corn
has either not been loaded on the cars
or is held up somewhere along the line
for want of ample transportation facili-
ties.
The G. p. Smith Feed Co. have a small
quantity of corn on hand and will be
able to supply the retail customers for Il
few days longer but unless they re-
ceiVe some OF the grain ordered their
sale of corn will have to cease They
have n fun stock of other grains on hand

A $4,000 FIRE
J. G. Bellrose, the Druggist, Loses
Goods in His Basement.
Other Tenants in the Warner Block
Suffer Some Damage from Smoke
Block and Contents Fully
Insured.

Fire, smoke and water did damage Thurs
day afternoon to the Warner block
and the stock of goods carried by the sew
eral stores in the building to an extent
that Is hard to estimate. The greatest loss
is sustained by j. G. Bellrose, the drug
gst, who places the value of goods de-
stroyed in his basement at about $500
His was the only store visited by the fire
but the smoke permeated to every part
Of the building and the delicate goods in
several of the stores will be greatly dam
aged thereby. 1t is probable that the loss
will not be far from 5000.
The fire was discovered by Charles liar
vey. a clerk in the drug store. According
to his story he had been at work in the
basement for over an hour in tho after
noon and at about o'clock turned out the
gas and started upstairs. AS he reached
the stairs he turned and saw in the rear
of the cellar a brisk blaze in a pile OF
boxes filed with excelsior. He attempted
to eNtinguish the flames with n small hose
kept in the basement but the pipe was not
long enough to reach to the fire. lie call
ed to Mr. Belrose and then ran TO box Al
on the corner of Church and Bank streets
and sent in an alarm that called out the
department. He has no idea how the fire
started. The boxes were under the gas
jet but Harvey had been working there
for an hour or more and had noticed no
blaze and had not detected smoke.
When the tiremen arrived huge clouds
of black smoke were pouring from the
stairway leading to the upper part of the
block and from the basement windows
An opening to the basement was Sc
cured through one of tho windows and a
stream of water was soon doing effective
work. 1t was a difficult fire to fight on
account OF the great amount of smoke
which had entirely filled the cellar and
store before the department arrived The
blaze was confined to the portion Of the
basement in rear of the stairs and did not
get to the store proper except in one or
two places. whore the hand chemical
quickly eXtinguished it.
The Warner block is occupied on the
ground floor by II. H. Bradley d Co..
Louis Pine &c Co. and Mr.. Bellrosc. Above
IL. ii. bradley & Co. are the millinery
parlors of Mrs. p. c. Dodge while on the
loor above her store are the rooms of St
Joseph's Court G. O. +. The floor above
the the drug store and over Pine & Co :
Is occupied by McGovern Il Drew dentists
and Stannard Post. q. A. r., and above
them the Odd Fellows hall is located The
damage to these places of business and
the halls is very hard to determine az it
was done by smoke and cannot be csti-
mated until thorough examination Of
the goods is made.
The block and the goods are fully in
surcd in the agencies of T. S. Peck. NJ. l.
