FIRE
ALARM SYSTEM
HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY THE
CITY AND WILL BE INSTALL
ED AT AN EARLY DATE.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
closed contract Tuesday with Mr.
A. P. Crockef, representing the Game
well Fire Alarm Telegraph Co., OF
New York, for a compete electric fire
alarm system for Columbia.
The new service will be installed
as soon as the necessary equipment
can be shipped here, and from the
demonstration made at the City Hall
promises to be most successful and
convenient. 1t consists of ten public
alarm boxes to be located at ccnven-
lent places over the city, switch
board, motor, a central alarm at the
engine house and a connection with
the alarm nthe court house bell. The
price of the equipment and the SER
vice is $4,000, and all outside wire
and wiring is to be furnished and put
up by the city. Under the franchise
granted the telegraph and telephone
companies the city has a right to use
the poles of the companies without
cost.
The ten public boxes viii be hung
out of doors where any one can
reach them and turn in an alarm. The
boxes will be locked and some near
neighbor will be furnished with a key,
but the front of the boxes is to have
a glass covering, which in case of
emergency can be broken and the
alarm turned in without key. Each
box will be numbered and when the
alarm is turned in the number of the
box will be sounded at the engine
house and by the court house bell. For
instance, if the box is numbered 25,
the bell would strike both at the
two times for the 2, then after a lit
tie space five times for the 5. This
alarm will be repeated four times over
automatically.
While there are only ten public
alarm boxes, it is probable that some
of the larger manufactures will in
stall private boxes for their own pro-
lection. The service is a great pro
lection against heavy loss by fire and
has resulted in lowering the insurance
rates wherever installed and will
doubtless result in better rates for
Columbia. 1t is probable that alarm
bells will be put in the houses of some
of the firemen and connected with
the system.

JUST FOR A CHANGE.

I'm sort of tired of things that is;
They're lackin' somewhat as to fzz
There amt no ginger in life's jar
With things a-goin' as they are.
The fault may be with me, and then,
1t may be otherwise again.
l amt a-tryin' to fix no blame
Because all tastes about the same
Howe'er it is, | wish it might
Have things turned round bit some
night.
So that instead Of as they be,
They'd work toward the contrary.
I'd like to see some mountain rill
Have spunk enough to flow UP hill,
So that old Nature might be shown
It had opinions OF its own.
I'd like to see the setting sun
Out in the east when day is done,
Just as. hint, when goin' to bed,
To prove it wasn't bigoted.
I'd like to hear bullfrog sing
Like nightingales upon the wing,
Instead of that eternal 'clunk"
With which he seeks his swampy bunk.
A cat that barks. a dog that meows,
And when it comes to milkin' COWS,
'Twould cheer me up to get pail
Of lemonade or ginger ale;
And if the bucket in the well
Would give UP water for a spell
And bring up some fresh root beer,
There'd be no kick a-coming' here
faint disconten that's veXin' me
With life SO everlastingly,
But just a sort of parchin' thirst
To get a peek at things reversed.
They've been the same so very long
a change would strike me pretty strong,
And though I'm making no complaint,
For once I'd like EN- as they amt

STOCK COMPANY IS
FOR BERNICE
IBEx ANTIMoNY MINING COMpA-
NY ORGANIZE
And Issue 100000 Shares of Stock
and 10000 Shares Already Sold
at so Cents Share.

At recent meeting of the Ibex An
timony Mining Company, whose mining
prop rty is situated at Bernice, in
Churchill county, it was ordered by the
company to organize on a stock COM
pany Lasis, and 100000 shares of
stock to be issued and the par value
to be placed at 80 cents share. Cap
tain o. A. Girard, who is one of the
principal stockholders in the now COM
pany, arrived yesterday morning from
San Francisco and returned again on
No. 3 last evening. He stated that in
a few days over ten thousand shares
were sold in the Bay City.
Captain Girard was reel cted as gem
eral manager of the new company and
he will shortly locate in Winnemucca,
having MADE arrangements, while here
yesterday, for renting house.
The prop, rty of he hex Company at
Bernice is considered to be of very
valuable character. che antimony is
free from the poisonous base metals
such as arsenic, which usually accom-
panv anthony ores am render its re-
.urt,on difficult.
The situation of the mines at Ber-
nice should make them a valuable AS
set to the prosperity of Winnemucea.
This city is the natural trading and dis
tributine center. The road, however, De-
tween Bernice and Winnemucca Is In
a very bad condition and because OF
the refusal of the hoard of commssIon
ers TO Join with the company in repair
ing the road, plans are now being form
rated TO ship the ore to Battle Noun
tain. which is at a greater distance
from the mines, but reached by b<t'
ter road.

Gently called into being the townsite
and mining district Of Monarch, a
horde of ciamoring creditors are at
Monarch today, having been excited
over reports to the effect that the
Monarch townsite had collapsed and
that Rev. Blanchard who was build
ing a desert city before he devel-
oped his alleged mines, had fed, taking
$4,000 belonging to the company.
According to some of the creditors,
Blanchard has fed from the country
and will never return, but his associ-
ates in Monarch declare this to be un.
true and say that rival townsite inter
ests are trying to destroy his work.
At any rate, all the known property of
the company has been attached and
the Blanchard supply store, with
$1.02 in the till, was seized by Dep
uty Sheriff Enkhouse, who has plac
ed a man in charge with instructions
to sell no more goods on credit.
There have been many tales told Of
Monarch since it was founded a
few weeks ago. Blanchard, pro
moter, had plan for colonizing
Kansas City people and Missouri
ranchers at Monarch. He sold many
lots in Missouri and planned to rln
a series of monster excursions to the
camp from the east. His project was
criticised by several of the Southern
Nevada papers, but the Monarch Trib-
une, the organ of his company, re-
piled that the company was sound
and that the camp had ore TO make il
permanent. BY persistent advertising
in Eastern papers hundreds of lots
were disposed of and with the pro.
ceeds many mechanics were imDorted
to bulld nouses, stores and hotels.
Blanchard spent money freely ir
promotion but contracted large debts
and when he left the camp few days
ago report was spread that he would
OF return and had taken the funds
of the company, $4,000, with him
The creditors in Manhattan, Tono
pah and Goldfeld got wind of the re
port and Immediately filled attach

unpaid claims which will swell the
