THE BRIDGE TO BE BUILT
ON SUTHERLAND STREET
Harmonious Meeting of Globe Townsite
People Plans and Bids
Are Submitted

Quite large number of citizens were
in attendance at the court house Satur-
day night to witness the letting of con-
tract for a bridge across the canyon
between Pascoe and Mob Hills. p.
Oates was in the chair and l.. l.. Henry,
secretary.
There was evidently but one purpose
in the minds of all present and that to
secure needed improvements for this
section of the city as speedily as posi-
BILE and to make those improvements as
permanent and substantial as available
funds would allow Several motions
were put, but after a general discus
sion which disclosed perfect harmony
of intent on the part of the movers, the
meeting speedily got down to business
and the motions finally presented re-
ceived the unanimous support of those
voting.
Four sets of plans, accompanied by
bids, were presented and the latter read

r. w. Grade, bid for bridge 20 feet
wide, with 5 foot walk and railing,

On motion of J. j. Keegan commit
Zee of FIVE, one from Noftsger Hill, was
appointed to supervise the letting OF
contract after veiwing the ground and
comparing bids and plans submitte ed.
This committee TO have full charge of
CARRYING out the contracts on the part
of the townsite people and to do such
work of improvement as to them might
appear wise and beneficial.
The meeting instructed the commit
tee to examine into the proposed stair
way to lead up to the road grade on the
hill from the mouth Of the canyon and
also TO consider the extension of road
grading beyond present lines with a
view OF having wagon road exit from
the hill on the north. 1t was the sense
of the meeting that no money be ex-
pended on such road unless the prop
erty owners agree to donate the right
of way and give deed to the city.
The following committee was select
ed : Chairman, 7. A. Pascoe and
Messrs. p. Oates, A. n. Noftsger, Geo.
f. Briggs and B. f. Crawford.
Chairman Oates evoked considerable
applause when he said that if the town
site fund was found insufficient to pro-
vide what the committee decided was
necessary the property owners would
"chip in enough to make up the bal
ance, but the Improvement needed
must be made in any case.
On Monday the committee met and
decided upon plan which meets their
views and contractors will be asked to
submit figures all working on the
same basis of calculation. The contract
will soon be let,

GREAT CONFEDERATION
WAS NARROWLY AVERTED
SUNDAYS Blaze on Mob Hill Threatened
Heavy Damage Fortunately
Wind veered

On Sunday afternoon about 2;l5
o'clock the Sabbath quiet was broken
bv cries of "Fire!" and a moment later
the alarm was sounded which speedily
brought the members of Pioneer Hose
No. /, to the hose house, and hundreds
of willing hands manned the ropes to
haul the reels up the steep grade on
Cedar and Hill streets to the house at
Hill and Mesquite, occupied by j. H.
Williams, which was wholly enveloped
in flames. threatening all the dwellings,
IN that section of the city.
A strong wind was blowing from the
northwest and the long tongues of
flame reached greedily toward II. c.
Hitchcock's residence adjoining, and
the pumphouse in the rear.
In order to direct a stream of water
on the fire, over 1000 feet of hose was
needed to connect with the fire-plug in
front of the SILVER BELT office, and it
was fully five minutes before the call
for water was sounded. Meantime large
emberS were flying through the air to-
ward the adjoining residences, and the
flames caught the fences and outbuild-
ings, coming within few yards of the
pump-house and, if the wind had not
veered around TO the southwark at this
moment, the efforts of the energetic
fire fighters would not have awaited to
prevent the further spread of the de-
structive blaze.

Buckets and Blankets

Volunteers spread wet blankets on all
exposed surfaces in the near vicinity,
and garden hose streams were employed
to wet roofs, porches and house fronts.
Bucket brigades were busily employed
wetting down everything combustible
in the trend of the flames.
A stream was turned on the fences
and outbuildings, which by this time
were blazing, and the efforts of the
hosemen were directed wholly in pro-
tecting the Hitchcock buildings and
thus preventing further spread of the
flames. The Williams house was a mass
Of blazing ruins and the house adjoin-
ing on the east, occupied by Joseph
Powell, being directly in line with the
winds altered course, was allowed to
burn, as the fire had too fierce hold TO
be dislodged by the single stream of
water available.
The broad strip of ground between
the Powell house and those on the OPP
posite side Of Sutherland street alone
prevented the flames from attacking
the residence of Philip Oates, directly
east. Flying sparks did kindle small
blaze, which was quickly extinguished
by the bucket force The wind abated

Lost Their All

The fire was not discovered by Mrs.
Williams until the west room was a
mass Of seething flames, and so rapid
was its progress that nothing of value
could be saved, and it was by great eff
fort that she escaped with her children.
A trunk containing clothing was carried
by someone into the yard, but its con-
tents were soon in a blaze. Sheriff
Stanley heard that there was a purse
containing money in the trunk and man
aged to secure it. When Mrs. Williams
examined it she found a small amount
OF paper money intact but missed $50
gold piece and some silver. This was
recovered from the wreck of the trunk
but Ed" was glad to drop the gold
piece, as it was too hot to hold. This
money was the only valuable recovered.
Mr.. Williams estimates his loss at 5000
with no insurance. He is secretary of

Uniform, as well as one he brought
