FIREMEN EMPOWER
 COMMITTEE TO SETTLE
DissENTioN WITH REFERENCE TO CONTESTED FIRE HOUSE
 LOT.
Decision of Committee and Disposal Made By It of Ground Will Be Fin si-Meeting So Agreed by Unani- nous Vote.

Al the special meeting of the fire de- partment held last night the matter of adjustment of the differences be tween the fremen and the city coun- cil regarding ownership of the present fire house site was put by unanimous vote. in the hands of a committee of four empowered to take final action.
 The committee entrusted with this important work is composed of Chief Henk1e. J. M. O'ConneH. J. F. Thomp- son and Wm. Robinson. Before it's selection for the purpose named above there was considerable discussion dur ing which the sentiment of the firemen was shown to be strongly in favor of eliminating dissention that has aris- en and to bring about a settlement. This sentiment was given test and found unanimous when. afte" appoint ment of the committee, Mir. Thomp- son asked that the fremen again ex- press themselves as to their desire that the committee handle the matter to conclusion. Unanimous expression to that effect was again given.
 The address of the fire underwriters of the city to the department practical ly covered the sentiment thal cDDeared prevalent in the meeting. The ad dress was as follows:
 ITO the Chief and Members Of the Fire
 Department:
 Gentlemen In tn communica- ton we aim to interest you in a few facts and figures showing that it will be to the best interests Of the citizens of this city t9 oTcanize and maintain 2 paid fire department.
 We wish to state that there is now being paid to the Insurance Companies for this district, by the property hold CTS of Bisbee, approximately the sum Of SS0,O0O annually for fire insurance pemiums This sum would be mate rially reduced by having a paid de- partment, provided that the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific would recognize the merits of such a depart ment here to the same extent that they have done in Phoenix, Prescott and Tucson. Should they do this, as they undoubtedly shall the insurance rates in Bisbee would be reduced about s3 1-Z per cent. making a total say ing of 2G,SS0.00 annually to the 9 per cent of the property holders who are now insured, which sum would be more than sufficient to maintain a good paid department for this city, | thereby protecting both uninsured and | insured property, as well as life. Respectfully submitted by the Fire Insurance Underwriters of the City of 1 Bisbee."

Cochise in Demand-Cochise Devel- O7ment stock is in much demand among the stockholders. The latter have exclusive privilege of taking up a bicck of 36.000 shares, privilege ex- piring September 1. It now looks as if they would considerably oversub- scribe this amount and go well into the 36,000 shares to be offered the general public after September 1. It is said that to the present time over S6000O worth of stock has been sub scribed for by stockholders. It is the belief that with closing of the stock holders list and opening of work at the property it will take a profitable ad- vance.

FORGERIES AT STORE
 BY TWO YESTERDAY
BOTH THE MEN ARE UNDER AR REST AND WILL HAVE HEAR
 ING MONDAY.
In Each Case the Fraud Attempted Called for Four DoIlars-One of the Men Presents Pitiful story-Other Declares lnnoncence.

Despite the punishment that has been dealt 10 offenders agaInst the Copper Queen Store for the utterance of fOrgeries and the obtaining of goods under false pretcnses no lesson appears to have been learned by those inclined to take The wayward course.
 Yesterday there were two arrests made on warrants issued at request of the store men for men who had de- frauded it of small amounts. In neith- CT case was four dollars exceeded. But the two men had the example before them that was made by Korpi. The latter was taken to Tombstone in the mmCrning for securing S10 worth of goods under false pretenses, and has entered upon service of a six months jail sentence for his offense.
 Wm. Wade was the first man arrest ed yesterday. He is charged with forg- ing rhe name of J. O. Temple to an or der for a pair of shoes. Wade is a miner. When brought before Justice Mcdonald and read the charge of forgery preferred against him he broke down and cried pitifuily Ad- vised by the justice to secure an at torney, he said that he could not do so. as he did not have the means, all his earnings being required to support a wife and child. It was because of his wife, he said, that his trouble appealed to him most deeply, as the news of it would break her heart. His hearing was set for 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing.
 Shortly after the arrest of Wade, Guy Leonard was brought into the court of Justice Murphy to face a charge of forgery preferred ther by the store. Leonard had used the name of James McGregor to a four dollar Crder. McGregor came to the justice court with him and pleaded for his release alleging that he had given Leonard the privilege of using his name at the store. The latter was appealed to, but declined to withdraw the charge against Leonard. It is said that at h.s hearing on Monday it will be shown that Le has offended on previous occasions. Leonard has re- tained an attorney to represent him.

YELLOW STUFF
Distorted Acc unt in Eastern
Papers of Re ent Shooting.

The following al count of the shoot
ing of Sakaris SyI&ala on Birch river
on September 13, appeared in the De-
trOit Press on eli 9th and fair
sample of the distorted news OF the
eastern papers of snything happening
in the west-the s Id and woody west.
The ''reign of terror was nothing
more than the accidental shooting of
a man by young boy. The Press
gave the account dispatch coming
from Ely: ~.
San unidentiib woman with a
thirst for blood, Is caused a reign of
terror along BirciS river, IA few miles
from here, and la Ne parties of deputy
sheriffs are securing the country in
search of her,
ALREADY she Slnas slain one man,
-wuuuded auuttres, lind. shot-at -several
others. She has been seen on one oc-
casion, and it is believed that she is
an Indian woman, who has lost her
reason and is seeking revenge for a
fancied wrong.
"Karis Sjala is the latest victim of
the woman. He was padding along
Birch river with companion in his
canoe when a shot rang out from the
shore and he fell dead in the bow of
the little craft. An instant later an
other shot was fired and the dead
mans companion felt the hiss of a
bullet as it sped past his face.
"When the officials were notified of
the killing they made careful search
of the locality and found the tracks
of a woman, which were later lost in
the forest. A timber cruiser, who had
been in the vicinity, said he had seen
woman running through the woods
and as she carried rifle, it is believed
it was she whogfred the shots.

was shot at from ambush and slightly
wounded. Heclaimed at the time it
was woman who had done the shoot.
ing, but he was not believed Now
his story IS generally credited, and
suspicion has fallen on an Indian
woman who was deserted by her white
husband some time ago. She cannot
be found.

Quick Work at Fire.

An alarm of fire Saturday brought
out the department and run to the
lumber yard was INDUCED in. The
fire had started in wash house OPP
poste the yard and before the arrival
of the department. had gained con-
siderable Roadway. The fire was
promptly quenched water being used
from the hydrant at the extreme west
end of Sheridan street. Twenty-four
minutes elapsed from the time the
alarm was sounded until the appar-
atus was again at the city hall. Con-
sidering tile run of six blocks, laying
of 1000 feet of hose and work at the
fire, this was Il remarkable record
We give the time consumed for the
benefit of those "wise guys who
claimed it took half an hour for the
department to arrive after the alarm
was sounded. Some consider them
selves extremely smart to stand back
and find fault and it IS not an uncom-
mon sight to see the boys Juggling
away at the carts and working for all
they are worth while some smirking

them. Let them try their hand at

Atikokan Range.

Ground has been broken for the
Atikokan Iron company's new blast
furnace at Port Arthur and work on it
will be rushed as fast as possible. The
company's new equipment is being
sent to Port Arthur as fast as it can
be secured and it is evidently the in
tention of the promoters to lose as
little time as possible.
They are said to be watching the
test of electric smelling at the 500
with great interest and if it proves a
success there. it will probably be tried
at the. Atikokan properties. The ex-
pertinent at the 500 is being conduct
ed by the Canadian government at an
expense of about SIS. 900 and under the
direction of DR.. P. L. T. Herouit,
technical director of the French Elec-
tro- Metallurgical society.
The new blast furnaces will handle
ore from the Atikokan range and will
have an annual capacity of something
like 10000 tons of foundry and Besse-
mer iron.
1t will be equipped with three Rob.
erts stoves and will have stack sew
enty-five feet high. A battery of coke
ovens will be constructed near the
furnace.
A small locomotive and three cars
went to Port Arthur from Duluth last
week, consigned to the Atikokan Iror
company. More will probably be sent

DIAMOND DRILLING
Iron Age Says Something About
Feet Drilled and Cost.

The statement has been going the
rounds that the Oliver Iron Mining
company had drilled more than 250,-
900 feet of diamond drill holes in the
Lake Superior region, and it was esti-
mated that these had cost the sum Of
at least 81 300, 900. The estimate is a
very low one, and a few moments fig
uring would prove it altogether below
bounds, says the Iron Age. On the
Mesaba range alone there are some
10000 drill holes, averaging probably
IS feet, and of these a considerable
share have been drilled by the diamond
bit. There are 100000 feet of holes,
of which the Oliver company and it's
predecessors have drilled their share.
On small area at Tower, on the Yer
million range, there are 400 holes, all
by the diamond, and probably more
than that number in the immediate
vicinity, all drilled by the Oliver com.
pany's predecessor there. On three
forties of section 30, 63-11, there are
$4,000 feet of diamond holes, and there
are similar spots scattered along the
Vermilion from end to end. There
are thousands of holes on the Memo
minee and Marquette ranges. The
Cleveland-Cliffs Iron company had SIX
drills going for months, day and night
where its Mas mine was afterward
located. The CleIgue syndicate drilled
hole 2,400 in the Republic fold, look
ing for the formation. This was
probably the deepest hole ever sunk in
the Lake region. Recently there has
been remarkable revival in diamond
drilling, not only on Lake Superior,
butall over the west. In the Missouri
and Wisconsin link and lead districts
there are more diamond drills than
ever before. There are more of them
on the older lake ranges, especially
around Negaunee and Iron Mountain.
At scattered points through Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota drills are to be
found. The cost of high grade car
bors, such as are demanded for work
in this region Of hard and difficult
rocks is now about 1872 and
they are gradually growing scarcer,
