BUYS RICH MINE.
Canon City Hardware Man Puts
Small Item Of Quarter of Million
in Cripple Creek Mine.

Victor. Colo, Oct. l6th.-The 10
Dandy mine, one of the foremost pro-
ducers on Raven hill, has been sold to
James Wright by DR.. H. D. Rice,
an executoraaf the Stratton estate, and
Mrs. Coe, widow of one of the former
part owners of the property. The price
paid is not stated, but it is understood
to be in the neighborhood of $3.50 600.
Although having an area of but four
acres the 10 Dandy has one of the big
ore bodies of the district, measuring
forty feet across in places. and its
screenings run $50 to the ton. No work
has been done on the mine for a year
and half. While its ore body is of
such remarkable dimensions, it seems
to have no extension beyond the lines
of the little claim in which it lies.
When Coe and Rice bought the 10
Dandy there was little in its appear
ance that suggested unusual merit, but
the metal it subsequently surrendered
made both of them wealthy. They
sunk a shaft 400 feet and ultimately to
the 5oo-foot point and drifted north
and south on several levels. The bodies
exposed were magnificent, and while
no definite statement concerning pro-
duction is known to have been made
public, its value is understood to have
been in the neighborhood of s25O, 900.
The buyer is the J. NJ. Wright of the
Canon City hardware firm.

Nearly Every Buriness House at
Yazoo City In Ashes.
SIXTY FAMILIES MADE HOMELESS
A Total Of Two Handred Houses Burned.
Entsiling Loss Of Nearly 100000
-fhe Firemen Handicapped By De-
Sective Water Mains.

Jackson. Miss, May 26.--With ever

ashes, together with q large number
of private residences, the principal
hotel and the passenger depot, Yazot
City. a town of 5000 people, 45 miles
from jackson, was last night resting
after one of the most exciting days In
Its history. The fire started at $3.50
o'clock in the morning and burned un-
til five o'clock In the afternoon. de-
stroying q total Of 200 houses. The
burned district is three blocks wide
and IL blocks long. The estimates Of
the loss are between. 81, 800 900 and
$4,000, 900.
The city is putting in new system
Of waterworks and the old system,
which had wooden mains, was wholly
inadequate to meet the demand. Pipes
burst all over the city and 1t was i'm
possible to get the water even to the
first floors of the buildings.
The fire started in the residence Of
Mr.. Wise and, though there is some
dispute as to how 1t originated. the
general belief Is that 1t had its origin
In defective electric wiring. Early In
the day the authorities Of Jackson
were called on to render assistance
and did so by sending a hose wagon
and large engine, the run Of 45 miles
being made in 40 minutes.
The Jackson firemen could do but
little good. A man by the name of
Chambliss, a citizen Of Yazoo City,
was killed by falling walls and Mayor
Holmes was badly hurt. Informa-
ton from Yazoo last night was that
he is in a precarious condition. He
had been in Office but three or four
weeks.
In the afternoon the fire jumped a
bayou and spread to Latonia, a resi-
dence suburb, where It destroyed some
Of the finest homes. Last night about
60 families were homeless. Some Of
them came over to Jackson on the
night train. Yesterday afternoon Gov.
Vardaman ordered out the Greenwood
company. directing them to
go to Yazoo City to protect property.
He and Adjt. Gen. Eldndge followed
on the next train and we're there last
night, doing what they could to relieve
the situation.
Among the buildings which were not
burned are the Yazoo county court
house and the Kicks Memorial IL
