THE ANGEL NINE
Suit for Receiver Fails and Develop.
ment Will Proceed.

Most Phoenix people are more or
less familiar with the Angel mine near
Wickenburg. by reputation if not nv
personal visitation. And they are also
aware that for nearly a year past it's
operation has been very greatly inter
fered with by the dissatisfaction ex-
listing between certain OF the stock
holders.
Previous to a year age Messrs. Hath
away, COlvin, Mcdowell and others
became interested IN the financing of
the property or some enterprise for
that purpose. Trouble ensued, of which
the details are probably known to few
outside of those interested, ending
nine months ago by the men named
acting through Mr.. Mcdowell. applying
in the New York courts for the appoint
ment of a receiver. The case was re-
sisted and went to the supreme court
at Buffalo, which ii is learned on the
2Sth heard the case on it's merits and
from the bench the motion for a receiv-
ership was summarily denied The
judge stated that the management of
the company was in proper hands and
did not require the Interference of the
court.
The Angel is claimed by those who
know the most about it, to be very
valuable property and it is authori-
tatively announced that it's develop
ment will proceed from this time for
ward without the disagreeable inter
ruptions of the past and that ample
capital will be available for its ex-
ploitation.

AN OUT OF RANGE FIRE
Two Residences Belonging to Mrs. A.
]. Godfrey Burned Yesterday.

There was another out-of-range-of-
ire-plug fire yesterday afternoon and
there was never from the beginning Of
it the ghost of chance of saving any
thing but the real estate devoid of all
the improvements. 1t was also not cer-
tain that anything in the vicinity
could be saved. The fire broke out in
the house of Mrs. A. ]. Godfrey at the
corner Of Fifth avenue and Bennett
Lane. Just how it was started is not
known, but at the time the alarm was
sent in there was a reasonable hope
of saving the building. The response of
the fire department was prompt, but
on the arrival of the firemen is was
discovered that the nearest fire plug
was more than six blocks away. There
was not enough hose. though more
hose had been carried by the answering
department than would have been car
ried if the fire had occurred in Chi
cago or New York, unless in response
to a general alarm. Other hose had to
be sent for. and by the time il arrived
the first house was consumed and the
flames had begun on an adjoining one
and it was plainly doomed. Finally the
connection was made and the COM
pany did good work. 1t could not be
said this time that there was INSULT
cient pressure, for the engine found
water enough to burst d section of the
hose. a very natural disaster consid-
ering the fact that the water had to
be forced through nearly 1900 feet of
il.
All that could be done was to save
the residence of DR.. L. d. Cameron ad-
joining the last of the burning build
ings on the south 1t was thought at
one time that it would have to go and
a part of the contents were carried
out.
A considerable part of the furnish
ings of both of the burned houses was
saved. Mrs Godfrey was badly burn
ed trying to save trunk belonging to
her sister. Her hair was mostly burned
off and deep marks of the flames were
left on her face and neck She was
carried to the house of a neighbor and
cared for.
Both of the houses belonged to Mrs
Godfrey. The one occupied by her was
insured for $1,000. There was an in
surance of 81, 600 on the other house and
$1,000 on the contents. That house was
occupied by Mrs. Margaret Colby and

swore at them and urged them to take
their hands out of their pockets and
get busy, but they could do nothing
until the hose came.
While the fire was roaring at its
height two dogs got to fighting and
two women, evidently the proprietors
of the dogs, engaged in a mill and
stood up to each other pommelling one
another in the most approved ring
fashion. The women and the dogs were
finally dragged apart and the fire
again became the chief attraction

Drastic Measures Must Be Taken to Wipe
Out the faint of Professionalism in This

Sports. amateur and professional, of
ali sorts, are ON a boom in this city,
and this promises to be the busiest Win
ter in athletics ever known in Washing
ton.
In view of this fact it would be well
for the promoters of amateur events to
paw more attention TO the rules OF the
Amateur Athletic Union than they have
done in lhe past. There has been ina
Washington "a remarkable indifference

managers Of meets have gone ahead as
If there We're no such code. The result
has been that the state of affairs is
now so complicated that a whole bar of

The loose way of running things in
Washington has not been brought to
the fore as it, should because most of
the athletic events here have been con-
Quoted by schools ana were operated
under the rules of the intercollegiate
Athletic Association. Even in these
cases little effort was made TO learn the
amateur status of entrants. and men
have been allowed to compete when
they would have been barred in any
other city.
No serious results nave been noticed
by the athletes themselves. as there are
comparatively few of them who have
entered IN other citrcs, where they
would have been brought up with "a
short turn. Now that Carroll Institute
and other Institutions not connected with
colleges are going in for meets, re-
