Nearly Destroyed by Fire Last
Tuesday Morning.

About one O'Clock Tuesday morning
the Avalanche Building on Mob Hill
was discovered to be ablaze, with flames
coming through the roof at the rear
end An alarm WAS quickly given and
people jumped from their beds aud
rushed to save it. The fire hose was
soon out, but it was found that the
couplings of one system here did not fit
the olher and considerable delay was
caused in getting the other hose. In
the meantime men began rushing in
and carrying out the property, ping
form and galleys in fearful shape, but
saving books, subscription lists and
considerable property of va ue, but car
rying out the small jobber press, paper
cutter, stove etc. When the hose was
finally connected. the entire roofof the
building and the loft, in which con.
siderable junk was stored was one mass
of flames; but the heavy stream from
the hose quenched it before the lower
room was burned. The gasoline engine
stood in little room off the side Of the
building with the big press in The front
of the larger room, and neither of these
received serious damage But the com
posing department and type is all a
wreck. Nugget offered Mr.. Horn the
use of his shop to get out such a pub
lication as lie could, but he decided on
ly to get out small sheet to notify his
patrons of the conditions, and left here

Was John WAGNER q victim7

Grave fears are expressed here that
Mr. John Wagner, an old and respect
ed citizen of this place, may have been
victim of the San Francisco earth
quake. Mr. Wagner, with badly i'm
paired health, left here last fail, stop
ped for some time in Nampa and at
Geven's Hot Springs, and then went to
Burke's Sanatarium, near San Fran
cisco for treatment, where he remained
during the winter Letters we're oc-
cassionally received from him by
friends, but letter of inquiry written
to Burke, after th calamity brought a
reply stating be had left that institu-
tion for Frisco, April IA, and stating
further that his name had not been
found among any lists of dead or sur
vivors. AS Mr.. Wagener was quiet
man, it is surmised that he may have
gone to some quiet lodging house and
remained, where he might have fallen
victim Of the calamity without being
identified, as he has not since written,
neither have letters written him re-
ceiyed a response.
Mr.. Wagener is Cor was) a man Of
considerable means, owning ranches
and other property in this county and
supposed to be possessed Of consider
able money and securities. He was for
many years one of the owners of the
arrastra here. His wife and only child,
daughter, are buried here. When
last here he made his home with
foster daughter, Mrs. VIM. Jones. He
has only one known relative in the
country, grand nephew who has
charge of ranch belonging to his
uncle, on lower Reynolds creek. Hopes
are still entertained that news of his
survival may be received.

er they had gone to witness the cere-
monies of laying the cornerstone of the
new Canyon county courthouse, con-
Quoted by the masonic order. MIR. st.
Clair says there was an immense num-
Der of people present, probably the
largest number ever assembled in Can
yon county, the marching procession
containing 600 school children. The
ceremonies we're both grand aud inn
pressive, and the address delivered by
ex- Governor Morrison was master
piece for such an occasion. Mr.. St.
Clair's impressions of the town we're
like those of any other occasional Wis
itor, we're that business stir, thrift,
energy and improvement we're visible
from every standpoint and the Magic
City, was growing by leaps aud bounds
The fine Saratoga hotel is already so
overcrowded that large additions are
in order; the two fiourishing banks are
to be augmented by third; the stores
and business houses are building and
removing to better and more commo-
dious quarters: new dwellings are going
up rapidly, but the demand is always
ahead of the supply. Work has been
begun on the inter-nrban railway and
on the railway to the great Deer Flat
reservoir, and everywhere is activity
apparent The new courthouse, the
cornerstone of which he saw laid, is to
be a fine structure to cost upward of
S60OO0
With the fine stretches of agricultural
lands on all sides of Caldwell and the
great Government reclamation under
taking nearby now being pushed ahead
Caldwell is certainly in the swim, with
its future growth assured.

THE NEW DELAMAR MILL
Rumors Of Failure Groundless
Close Savings Made

The rumor having been put in circu-
lation that the new DeLamar mill and
process of saving values from the shines
was not proving success, it is proper
that statement of tile real condition
of affairs at that big coucern should be
set forth. The mill is not failure,
and the percentage of savings Of values
is quite up to the expectations Of the
company's manager and the mill super
intendent. But it has been found that
by grinding the ore to pass through SO
fine screens as these placed in the
Gillian mills, the proportion of shines
to that Of sand produced is much
greater than was anticipated, much of
the ore being quite soft and going
through the classifiers as shines, which
it was supposed would go into the tanks
to be cyanided in the old fashioned
way way The result is to reduce the
capacity of the mill, with its present
supply of tankage for settling the
shines, and drawing off the clear solu
ton which is repeated four or more
times before the shines are robbed of
the values they carry. To overcome
this it will only be necessary to provide
more tank capacity. But by coarser
grinding the proportion of shines to
the sand may be materially reduced
and coarser screens have been ordered,
which will be placed in the Cnllian
mills, and if this does not sufficiently
reduce the proportion of shines to the
amount of sand, more slime tanks will
be placed in the mill sufficient to bring
it up to the capacity originally intend
ed. That the process is a success has
been fully demonstrated. But the lay
ing off of number of miners because
more ore was being sent down from the
mines than the mill could take care of
caused all sorts of rumors of failure to
be set ahoat It is easy to start a scare,
especially where a new process is being
tried, but the men in charge of the
mill, though somewhat disappointed,
are not the least disturbed regarding
the ultimate results.
