STREET MUST
REMAIN open
COUNCIL HEADS PROTEST OF
SALT LAKE ROAD
Seriously Interferes With the Plans
of Mayor McAIeer and the Re-
public Iron and Steel
Works

The city council handed the mayor
another package" yesterday afternoon
when it sustained the protest of the
Salt Lake railroad and Fairchild, Gil
more Ss Wilton against the abandon
ment of that part of Fifteenth street
between Santa Fe avenue to the Santa
Fe railroads right of way. The Salt
Lake road last week was granted a
franchise down the alley east of Santa
Fe avenue, and it contended that II the
street were closed at that point 1t
would interfere with it's right of way.
This part of Fifteenth street, which
is less than a block long and ends
in nothing but a COW pasture, bisects
the tract of land owned by the Re-
public Iron and Steel works, of which
Mayor McAller is one Of the chief
stockholders, and the mayor person.
ally appeared before the council to
ask that this street be abandoned and
given to his company.
Building Erected .on Street
The mayor had counted ON little diff
Guilty in securing this favor from the
council, as this part of the street ap-
pears to be practically useless. and ne
had gone so far as to have one OF the
principal buildings of the iron plant
erected directly across the street. The
building was not completed When the
mayor scented interference and ordered
the contractor to stop work. The half
completed structure still stands, OBJ
structing what the council has decreed
must remain public thoroughfare.
There is but one thing left for the
mayor and other members of the Re-
public Iron and Steel company TO DO
This is to cut up the tract of land
which they purchased for the iron
plant into small parcels and seek q
location for the iron plant elsewhere
Nat Wiltshire, one of the financial back
ers Of the enterprise, has secured an
other tract where spur tracks canno
corrupt nor antagonostic counciimer
break. in and confiscate. =.
The mayor and his partners paio
$4,000 for the land. The Salt Lake
spur cuts off the Santa Fe frontage
and the company may experience trou'
Bile in getting it's money out of the
land under the circumstances.

REMOVING THE DEAD.

San Francisco. April 2O.-The three story lodging house al Fifth and Minna streets, collapsed and over seventy five dead bodies have been taken out. There are at least fifty other dead bodies exposed. The building was one or the first to take fire on Fifth street. At least one hundred people were lost in the Cosmopolitan on Fourth street.
 The only building standing between Mission. Howard East and Stewart streets is the San Pablo hotel which is occupied and running. The shot tow CT at First and Howard streets is gone. This land mark was built for ty years ago. The great Western Smelling and Refining Works escaped damage. also the Mutual Electric Light works, with slight damage to the American Rubber company. The Vie tax Gas Engine company and the Fol ger Bros. coffee and spice house are also uninjured. The latter firm is giv- ing away large quantities of bread and milk. Many are dropping dead from the heat and suffOcation.
 Over 150 people are reported lost in the Brunswick hotel, Seventh and Mis- sion streets.

of their father, Thomas Hall, Judge w. H. Stilwell and L. T. Mansfield. All are well known and the Hall Bros. have been connected with various min ing enterprises in that section They are known as good rustlers and are able and energetic young men.
 The company has paid off all the old indebtedness of the Orc Grande Exploration company and starts with a clean sheet. Stock will be sold for development purposes and a campaign of development has been planned. The property was located many years ago by sam Powell and has the reputation of being a good one. It is twelve miles from Wickenburg and about 500 feet of development work has been done upon it in the past. It is located on the same ore bodies that cross the White property and which are suppos- ed to connect the two holdings under the channel of the Hassayampa which affords a perpetual water supply.
 But there are other things doing in that section as well. At the O'Brien mine which lies east of the White on the same formation the building of a mill at an early day is proposed and road is building now in progress. The mine itself is admitted to be a very valuable property. Work has been re- stunned on the Black Rock property in the same vicinity. This is another mine on which a great deal of money has been spent with very promising results The Black Rock Limited more commonly known as the Cana dian group. from the nationality of its owners, is starting work again and IS also building a new road to connect the property with the railroad at Wickenburg. There seems to be no doubt but that this property will some day be a big producer.
 Another group of fine claims is the King Solomon property southeast of the White mine. A fifteen horse DOW CT gasoline hoist was recently put in place there and rapid development work is proposed.

probably 5000 people are camped af- fairs are conducted with military pre- cision. Water is plentiful and rations are dealt out all day long. The refu- gees stand patiently in line and taere is not a murmur. This characteristic is observable all over the city.
 The people are brave and patient and the wonderful order preserved by them has been of great assistance. In Golden Gate park are encamped 100000 people. They are being taken care of. A huge supply station has been established there and provisions are being dealt out. Probably 100, 900 more people are camped in vacant lots and squares scattered about the city. and these are the unfortunates that are hard to reach.
 The banks have not yet decided what to do. In all cases the vaults are intact and as soon as quarters can be provided, business will be resumed. Six hundred men from the Ocean Shore railway will arrive tonight with wagons and implements and will com mence immediate work on the sewer age system.
 Inspectors are going from house to house examining chimneys and wE is sue permits to build fires.

THE POWELL PROPERTY
 MOST PROMISING ONE
The Owners Starting with Gle an
 Sheet and Certainty Of Ore.

Mining in the Black Rock district of Yavapai county north and east of Wickenburg, seems just now to have received a new impetus and many of the properties that have been worked in only a desultory sort of a way are being shaped up for extensive opera tions. The starting of the new twenty stamp mill at the White Gold mine G few days ago, created enthusiasm in all that section. II was q test run of the mill but at last report it was still in operation and everything was working satisfactorily.
 Another fact of a very promising nature is the change in management and prospective development of what Is known as the sam Powell property, directly across the Hassayampa river and joining the White property on the west. It was owned by the Gro Grande Exploration and Development com pany which attempted to work it but lacked the sinews of war. Last No vember Dick Wick Hall and his broth CT. Ernest. who were already stock holders, bought the stock interests of Messrs. Oberfelder, Akers and Gold man. That gave them the ownership or at least the control of the property. Yesterday the name was changed to ''The Powell Mines CO" of which Dick Wick Hall is president and Ernest Hall secretary and treasurer. With these two the board of directors is composed =zSzsEz7ssf
