TERRIBLE DISASTER
 AT THE NEEDLES
Two Lives Lost and Ten Seriously But Not
 Fatally Injured

The most disastrous fire in the history of the Needles burned the Harvey house and Santa Fe depot and some freight cars standing near he depot Thursday morning, caus- ing the loss of two lives and the serious injury of ten or twelve oth- CTS, two of which. probably fatally.
 The fire started in the west end of the depot building about 4:55 am, but just how is not definitely known. In a few seconds the en- tire building was in flames. It was q wooden structure and fire trap in many ways.
 The Santa Fe regular and the local volunteer fire departments were on the scene in a few seconds, hut the fire had gained such head way, in even that short time, that 1t was evident to all that it was hopeless to try to save the building, as the flames were then busting out over the building from ground to roof. he whole up stairs was used as sleeping rooms, which were all occupied. With heroic promptness and presence of mind the Harvey house employees down stairs. at the first alarm. rushed to wake tie sleeping inmates up stairs, and all those who ran down and out at the first alarm escaped with slight i'm juries, but many who tried to get their shoes or clothing on were serious burned. Some beca me panic stricken. and were 1t not for the coolness of some of the employees the death would have been fearful. Those who did not jump and run at the first alarm found the halls blazing furnace, and some were compelled to jump from the bal cony. Two of those badly burned received additional injuries in this way.
 Many acts of heroism were wit messed. A lunch counter employe rushed into a burning corridor. picked up fainting woman and carried her to a place of safety. The act nearly cost him his life. He is seriously burned about the hands and head.
 The dead are:
 CONDUCTOR +. NJ. CARTER, of Winsluw
 Mss PRISCILLA BAsTAIN, a wait ress in the Harvey house.
 The injured:
 Conductor D. A. Hawes, of Los Angeles, badly burned about face and arms; jumped from balcony. !. J. $. Liehengood, whole upper part of body badly burned.
 Conductor W. R. King, arms and neck burned
 O B Da aken. hands badly burned.
 C. s. Harper, hands, arms and face badly burned.
 Mary Bauman, badly burned.
 Eunice Cole, badly burned; may be fatal.
 Kate Bauman, burned; not serious
 Mary Hart, serious, bout head.
 Eleanor Ha milton, slight burn; badly bruised.
 The others injured were of less serious nature.
 The charred bodies of Conductor Carter and Miss Bastain were re- covered from the ruins and taken to the morgue.

Sanford Rowe, who is developing some mining claims out near the Canyon, reports the finding of a skeleton during their excavating. It seems that a tree. evidently some four hundred years old, was in the way. and 1t being necessary to blas St out the stump to carry on the work it was done. At depth of about six feet, immediately under the roots of the tree, the skeleton of man was found. The bones were in a good state of preservation, evil dently so from the presence of the copper, large body being found at the spot. There has been a good deal of speculation as to what race the skeleton belonged, as while the limbs and trunk bones were of nor nal size, it is stated that the head was of a very peculiar shape. We understand that w. w. Bass. who takes much interest in such finds: will write an article for one of the magazines on the subject.
 Car No i of the bureau of fisher ies arrived in Williams on We'd nesday and left the same evening. The car distributed several thou sand fish while here, some of which were placed in the railroad dam, some were given to Shorty" Allen to stock the large dam at his ranch and some were sent out to Howard lake to stock that body of water. There is said to be very good fish ing at the railroad dam now, the bass placed there two years ago having increased to an enormous extent.

w. w. Bass was in the city We'd nesday from his camp on the Can yon road. There for some time past he has had for his g tests Mir. and Mrs. Binder, of Atlantic City, N. J., also taking them for trip into the Canyon at his crossing. Mir. Binder represents eastern capital and while ln the Canyon beca noe interested in some copper mining property of Mir. Bass to such an extent that he purchased an interest in the same. We are informed that a force of man will be at once put to work and considerable development done on the property.
 Several thousand dollars has already changed hands and over 5000 of the money put in circu- iation in town yesterday. The prop critics included in this deal are copper oxides and exceedingly promising.
 Mir Bass expects to he able to interest eastern capital in asbestos properties in the Canyon. We were shown several samples of lace made from the fibre of wood that were equal in appearance to the finest silk production. He is now expert menting on asbestos fibers and says he is confident he can produce a much more durable and substan- cial quality that will be practically indeStructa ble.
 In order to clean it heat takes the place of water, which ruins the wood production.
 Miss Edith, the little daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Bass, accompanied Mir. and Mrs. Binder east to their home, where she will be placed in school.

WOMAN'S LATE SUPPER.
She Can Now Get II in New York
Alone and Unattended.

From .ho New York Sun.
Is the rule excluding women without
male escorts from certain expensive res
taurants after dark TO be abolished for
mally? An indication Of a change that
has occurred in the last few years is
found in the following announcement
conspicuously displayed in the hall of a
fashionable Fifth avenue hotel:
Ladies served in the south cafe after
80 p. m"
This announcement does not mean that
women without male escorts are admitted
into the cafe The change is less radical
than that
Until recently, under no circumstance
were women permitted in the south cafe
at all. After dark it was mans particu-
/ lar province. distinguished from the main
restaurant by less formality, chaiing dish
suppcrs. and thicker tobacco smoke.
Not long ago the man who took his
wife or sweetheart TO the hotel to dine
was dobarrcd from this cafe. He had 20
pass on TO the regular dining rooms. An
/ Eveless Eden was the south cafe, the
entrance guarded by liveried attendants.
