show the discoloration OF time and

by the British. The burning OF the
Interior so discolored the walls that
they could not be restored to any
uniformity OF color and 1t was decided

dents mansion then becam me known
as the "White House" aud such has
been its name ever since, while each
year or two 1t has been given a coat
Of fresh paint. This was the tlrst
time 10 years that it has been burned
off, a treatment of which 1t was sadly
in need. While the white House has
been the popular name, "The Execu
tive Mansion" was the official name
and was used on the Presidents
stationery until Mr.. Roosevelt became
President. He declared that every
state had an executive mansion, but
that only the United States had
White House and he caused the latter
name to be adopted officially and en-.
graved on all his stationary. invita-

FIRE BURNED IS MONTHS
 IS NOW EXTINGUISHED

method was slow, but effective. and while it has been undef control for sev- eral months, the first positive assur- ance that the blaze was out was made this week. More than 4O0O feet was burned over
 The fire broke out in May. 1906. and was supposed to have been of incen- diary origin. A boy named Martinez was tried for the crime. but acquitted on the defense that the fire was acci- dental. He testified that he went to sleep and the fire is supposed to have started from his lamp.
 The fatalities in the history of the fire occurred in May of this year. One of the bulkheads tumbled down and the gas overcame Superintendent Alex Ja- cobs and four miners while they were attempting to find the leak
 The mine at the time of the fire en- ployed about 800 men, but less than 100 have been at work since it broke out.

THE CLEARING HOUSE.

The community of Nome is to be congratulated tha, the three local banks have been able to get together and adopt a clearing house basis. Had this not been done, il is more than like ly that withdrawals of deposits would have continued. and in view of the fact that no currency could be secured from the outside. on account of the closed season. this would eventually have compelled some. if not all, of the banks to suspend until the opening of navi- gation for lack of further funds. It is needless to say how this would have crippled not only the mining industry but all other business in Nome. Labor could not have been employed mer- chants could not have sold their wares and all business operations would have been brought to complete standstill. Under the system adopted by the banks, however, as outlined in their statement in today's paper, the certifi- cates. which will be issued tomorrow in lieu of currency, will answer all the needs of the camp just as fully as the currency itself would do.

TRINIDAD, ColO.-The seemingly un- quenchable fire in the Engleville mine which had been burning for a year and half. caused the loss of five lives. re- duced the labor of the camp by 425 men. and entaied a loss of thousands of dollars to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, has at last been extnguished
 Victory over the stubborn blaze is due to the ingenuity of the late General Manager John T. Kebler who inau- gurated new era in fighting mine fires by manufacturing carbonic acid gas to smother the blaze.
 After all methods usually applied had failed, Mir Kebler constructed a small plant at the mouth of the mine and carried the gas through iron pipes a distance of a mile and a half to the fire zone.
 The fire was then surrounded by drifts and bulkheaded. while the gas was pumped into the fire zone. The

CALUMET 6 ARIZONA.

During the past week development work which has been under way on the $50 level south and west in the Irish Mag, was rewarded by a nice body of ore in portion of the mine where little development has been done in the past. and is additional proof that the Irish Mag will continue to deliver the goods for many years to come. The ore is high grade, run ming between eight and fifteen per cent, and on yesterday the ore body had been drifted into for a distance of twenty-five feet and crosscut for the same distance was still inthe ore. So far the new strike has every ap- pearance of being one of the largest and richest ore bodies encountered on the property. It is stated on good authority that at this particular time the Calumet and Arizona and Supe- ricr & PittsbErg properties never look ed better, and the companies are eX- periencing no difficulty in sending their normal tonnage to the smelters at Douglas. At the Oliver the new electric pump. which was especially designed for this property, is about ready to go into commission. The new pump will have a capacity Of GU gallons at a depth of 1900 feet.

 The smelter at Orogrande is prac- tically completed and plans nave been made to blow it in about July 1. The By Chance and the Lucky Baird are producing well.
 G. E. Noffitt is now in the east buy ing additional machinery for his placer mining, and the BostC1 and Jarilla Copper company, of which he is manager, is being rapidly devel- oped.
 The Enterprise, in which Fl Paso people are interested is being deVel- oped and indications grow better as work progresses. The shaft is now down about sixty feet. The Boston and Jarilla mine is only a short distance from the railroad and so high above it that 1t Will pc an easy matter to shute the ore 10 the cars, and this method is being considered.

tire new plant, at least double the capacity of the one destroyed.
 While the plant was in operation a short time before its destruction, the runs made were highly satisfac. tory to the company and as these seems to be an almost ineXhaustible supply of ore blocked out in the mines I see no reason why a larger plant cannot be operated more economical ly than smaller one, and better re- turns obtained from it.
 I was much interested in the great smelter at Humboldt" he continued and am really sorry that I could not spare more time to look closer into it's intricate details. It is certainly a wonderful plant and the ore supply on hand is proof positive that this part of the territory is a great min eral country."N
 After a few more days stay at the company's properties, which are known all over the territory as the Three Black Buttes. Dr. Ross and MT Hardaway will start on their return trip to their southern homes, where a report will be submitted to the di rectors of the concern recommending the rebuilding of the destroyed reduc tion plant. possibly with a capacity three times greater than the old.

The bids for the erection of the Shattuck & Arizona smelter have all been received and word has been sent east to the board of directors to this effect. It is the expectation that majority of the board will be here in the next ten days for the purpose or formally awarding the contract. Good reports continue to come from the Shattuck property. This week on the 900 level a drift run in seventy-hye feet encountered a body of sulphfde ore which assayed about four per cent. Shipping continues steadily to the Copper Queen smelter from the seventh and eighth levels, and the in- dications now are that the month oi June will be the record month TOT production from this property. TWO hundred and twenty-five men are on the pay roll at the Shattuck, which is a greater number than was employ ed in March, before the organizers called the strike" Between two hundred and seventy-five and three hundred tons of ore is being shipped daily.

STREET CARS ID SOLVE TRAVEL
 PROBLEM
Warren District Soon to Have Cheap and Rapid Electric Service From One End to the Other.


 The result of the election on Wed nesdsy. at which time the qualified voters of Bisbee granted to the War ren Street Railway company a fran chise to build and operate a street car line between Upper Tombstone can yop and Warren, means a Greater Bis bee in the very near future. The vote was practically unanimous, only twenty-seyen votes being recorded against the proposition in the entire city The action of the Council on Friday in taking immediate steps to begin the construction of the forty foot roadway up Tombstone canyon will meet with the hearty approval of all concerned. The Review is inform ed that the street car service which Is to be instituted between Bisbee and Warren will compare fayorably with any system in operation in the large cities. The street cars to be used are being built by the Mc-Guire-Cum- mings Mfg. Co, of Chicago, at cost of seven or eight thousand dollars each, and are to be equipped with every modern impromevent. The rails for the street car line are expected here this month, and the cars have been promised for August. It IS the intention of the Warren company to rush the work of construction as rap idly as possible, and it is the present intention to have cars in operation during the month of october The granting of the franchise and the as- surance that the line is to be hurried forward to completion will make for renewed confidence in the district, and should serve to increase the value of real estate holdings in all portions of the camp. from upper Tombstone can yon to Warren.
