HAIL STORM BRINGS RUIN
Country Near Window Cut BY the Ice
That Fell

-
That Fell
From SATURDAYS Daily.
For the first time in the history oil
| this neighborhood hail has caused d
complete loss to number of the farm.
ers of this section, says The Window
! Citizen. Tuesday afternoon about fall
past five, heavy clouds began to form
IN the northwest, coming up directly
against heavy wind. In the upper ali
was a heavy contrary wind, and it was
thought for while that there would be
a severe wind storm. But the wind set.
tied down and in its place came the
hail. In the western part of Window
but very little hail fell, it being hard
rain instead, but towards the eastern
edge of town the hail became thicker.
At \. ID. Nelson's the boys gathered up
enough hail. and they were large ones,
too, to freeze gallon of ice cream.
But the real damage was in the
country east of here. AS far as learned
teh territory where the most damage
was done stretched from north of Delft
to Jackson, having width of about
two miles and a half. In that scope
the crops are completely gone, the hail
having wiped out almost every vestige
of them. 1t is not partial loss but a
complete one in nearly every instance.
Among those who have suffered we
learn of Carl Nieman, who lost $40
acres: Andrew Olson, entire crop; the
Van Nest farm, entire crop; Fred Car
penter's farm, entire crop; Charles
Pierce, entire crop; Nelson Sheets, en-
tire loss; Louis Hanson, entire loss; the
Grant farm, entire loss; and others
whose names we cannot now give. The
hail was so strong that some roofs that
were covered with rubber roofing were
pounded full of holes. Such was the
case at Fish lake, where the roof of
Reikpe's restaurant was destroyed and
the contents of the building greatly
damaged 1t is estimated that at the
lake hail fell to the depth of four
inches. Trees were stripped completely
bare in some instances, and fruit trees
lost all their fruit.
Coming as it does this time of the
year, when it is too late for the farmers
to replace the loss, the blow is a disas-
trous one, and the losers feel their mis-
fortunate greatly. They have the SYM
pathy of all those who were not so
unfortunate, yet that does not replace
the grain nor the dollars which the
grain would have brought.

BING BANG At MADELIA
All the Fireworks Went OF at Once
Creating CONSERVATION.
From Mondays Dali

The fire works at Madelia on July 4,
went up in smoke little sooner than
had been planned for. A very pretty
display had been provided but the fire
from one of the sky-rockets shot back
into the three boxes of explosives and
all went off at about the same time.
The roof of the Russell & Hale restau-
rant, from which the fire works were
to have been shot, caught on fire and
things began to look serious, but the
water was turned on and the fire
quenched before much damage was done.

DAILY JUDGE
z SKIPS DIVIDEND
Plenty of Money to Pay, But Di-
rectors Decide to Apply 1t
to Other Purposes.
ELECTRIC HAULAGE IN MINE
NEW GROUND TO BE VIGOROUS.
LY OPENED.

At meeting CT the full board Of diree-
tors of the Daly-Judge Mining company,
held yesterday afternoon, it was decided
to pass the dividend for the pending
quarter and apply the money to the fur
Their equipment of the mine and the car
rying out of much broader campaign
of development. 1t was stated after the
meeting that there was ample funds with
which to meet the usual $l12500 dividend
without Gripping the treasury at all, but
the general sentiment of the board was
that the property should be more fully
explored and that the developed portion
of the mine should be placed in still bet
ter shape for the production Of a fixed
or uniform tonnage.
One of the important changes that was
authorized at once is the installation of
electric motors and heavy cars to re-
place the present animal haulage sys-
tenn. With the new system in vogue it
will be possible TO rip the mine open at
number of points not now being touch
ed, as the service will permit of the handl-
ing of much greater amount of ore and
waste without confusion or delay. The
new directors and officials of the com
pany, it is understood. were very much
pleased with the repOT; that were laid
before them and the business Of the COM
pany is now to be crowded with greater
yigor than at any time in it's history

BIG DEAL Is CLOSED
IN NEVADA PROPERTY

According to advices from New York
over the Pollock wires yesterday the H.
:. Woolley interests ia the Amalgamated
nevada Mines & Power company. embrace
ing control. have been sold and the
Woolleys are now out of that company,
Willard T. Snyder. J. W. Cawley of New
York and strong syndicate of Boston
operators are reported TO have closed the
deal and taken over the interests mem
toned. While it is impossible to get de-
tails on this end of the line, the prob
abilities are that the company will now
be reorganized and handled in a syste-
matte business manner As constituted
the company has 2D99.Ooe shares Of a par
value of $ each. which is certainly plenty
of shares.
The company is understood to own the
San Pedro and Mabel gold properties IN
the Black Horse district, the famous old
placefs of the Osceola Placer company,
something like a half-dozen fine ranches
in Snake valley comprising more tEafi
6,0e0 acres and two splendid streams OF
water on which Il is planned 10 establish
a power plant of 0-hofse-poWer ca
pacity and, aside from supplying water
to operate its placers at Osceola ana mills
at Black Horse, together with light and
power. 1T viii run lines into Sly and sup
ply that camp with power and light for
all purposes.
Mr. Snyder had previously become inter-
ested in the proposition and the belief is
that he has been Instrumental in bringing
into the undertaking the right kind of tall
ent to make a success of the enterprise
OF the value OF the san Pedro and Ma
bel properties this department is not adj
viseSl but il has been known for years
that the Osceola placers were exceeding
ly rich In coarse gold. But the old COM
pany had no water to operate them and
it was not strong enough or did not care
to buy out the ranehers who controlled
the water The water is now owned and
the presumption Is that the proposition
will be quickly placed on its feet If that
has not already been done.

BINGHAM DEAL
FINALLY CLOSED
Central and Standard Proper
ties Pass Into Control of
New Company.
vEWHOUSE is AT THE HEAD
D. C. JACkLiNG NAMED AS THE
GENERAL MANAGER.

The last act in the rounding out of the
Bingham Central-Standard deal was ac-
complished yesterday morning, when the
control of both propositions passed into
the hands of the Bingham Central-Stand-
ard Consolidated Mines company, the or
ganiZatiOn of which has been repeatedly
told of in this department. In the or
ganizatiOn of the official household Sam
uel NewhOuse was made president; d. c.
lacking. vice president and general man
ager; William M. Bradley, secretary, and
II. z. Clark, treasurer. The board also
named an executive committee consist
ing of d, c. lacking, c. w Whitley and
l., Z. Hubbard
The decks are now cleared for action
and Manager lacking states that the
combined mines will now be thrown wide
open and that it will not be long till the
tunnel of the Bingham Central company
will now be extended into Standard
ground, where it will pick up the Little
Treasure vein and develop the ores below
the older workings Somewhere between
400 and 500 feet of work will be required
to accomplish this, but with heavy ma
chine drills pounding away in the face
of the tunnel sixty days or such a mat
ter will see the connection made.
lively campaign of development is
also to be carried on through the Jeff
Davis tunnel, which will be sent through
to connection with the Burning Moscow
ledge at least 80 feet below any portion
of the present exploring workings. This
ledge is counted as one of the richest and
most important in that part of the Bling
ham camp and Manager lacking states
there is practically no question at all as
to what results will be-.
The upper tunnel in the Standard
ground, where considerable ore is already
developed and ready for breaking down.
will be cleaned out and placed in shape
for regular mining operations and there
is no question but what production will
begin very soon through this and other
workings in the combined properties.
