Fire at Shannon Mine.

Early last Thurs lay morning at
$3.50 the slumbers of the Shannon
mine residents were disturbed by a
fire alarm, wien it was discovered
that the boarding house was in
flames. Everybody n ade a rush for
the building, but the fire started on
the inside and hal gained too much
Roadway to pernit entrance of many
who were willing to save what they
could. The origin of the fire is
mystery, as d. r. Ringland, who had
charge of the boarding house, was
positive that the fire in the range
was dead at s o'clock in the evening.
He always saw that the doors were
securely fastened and there was not
much chance for anybody to enter.
When he arrived at the scene he
broke one of the windows and en-
tered with the intention of saying
the books, but the smoke was too
much for him and he had to retreat
AS he was retreating he grabbed the
bread box ami succeeded in saving
nine loaves of bread and a table
cloth. Other parties rescued three
tables and that was all that was
saved. Mr.. Ringland converted his
home into a temporary boarding
house. He made a hasty trip to Met
calf, secured provisions and served
breakfast on time, which was going
some.
The ground was cleared the next
day, tents were thrown up and the
miners were able to get enough eat
ing to tide them over.
Fortunately there was no wind or
the fire might have covered more
territory.
The loss will amount to about
1880, which was covered with $500
insurance in the Royal Insurance Co.,
represented by NJ. Danenhauer. Mr..
Archer, the compauy's adjuster, ar
lived soon after, investigated the
Dire and the loss was settled in full
only few days after the fire. About
1 year ago the company lost its in
cline building on the hill, which was
insured in the same company.
Plans were at once drawn for new
boarding house, which will be larger
than the old one. 1t will consist of
two rooms, one 16x60 and the other
l6x30, with a large kitchen. The
contract has been let to Contractor
E. S. Merritt, who will rush it to
completion.

Clifton Northern.

The Clifton Northern railroad h as
now laid about 1000 feet of its track
in North Clifton connecting with the
A. C. line to the New England ore
bins. The track will be standard
guage to the ore bins, with a third
rail, making it possible to run mar
row guage cars over the line. The
company now has a large amount of
steel and ties on hand which will en-
able it to go ahead with the work
from the ore bins up as fast as de-
sired. This road will be of much
well as other companies above town
who have shipping ore.
In addition to the transportation of
ores the road will be of much benefit
to North Clifton business men, as
well as the New England, in the
handling of freight. Upon the COM
pletion of the standard guage it will
be possible to switch cars to that
part of town to be unloaded. This
will curtail expense and delay in the
handling of freight. The railroad
will be the means of opening up the
upper part of the district and it is
important that the road should be
finished and locomotives put on as
soon as possible.
The grade of the tram will be used
for the new road and it will be neces-
sary to do some blasting just above
the ore bins. 1t will pass over the
present fume site, and the railroad
company will make Il tunnel for
handling the flume water.
Dell NJ. Potter, president of the
Clifton Northern, informed the ERA
that he now feels as though the
Northern is full grown railroad,
having had a wreck this week. y
car got loose and ran off the end of
the road wrecking things TO some eX-
tent.
