FIRE FIGHTING LESSONS
 IN HE HOMESTAkE
SmoIdering Fire In Ore Stope On 600-Foot Level and Ef-
 fort Made to Fight Ii,

Problems of much interest to the mining world are being daily met and overcome by the management of the Homestake Mining company, whose gold mine, the largest in the world, has for nearly two weeks been the seat of a small but exceedingly diff cult fire. says Ores and Metals of Den yer. As the prospects stand today, the fire may be extinguished within another week or it may shoulder on for years, a cause of more or less anx- iety, but the management has learned some valuable lessons in this, its first mine confiagration in fourteen years.
 The Homestake mine is located un- derneath large portion Of Lead City, the second largest town in the state. It has been worked at a profit for oy- CT quarter of century on ore that today averages but S3.SO per ton Gen erally speaking, it is essentially dry mine, well timbered, and considered much more safe for miners than the usual mine.
 Fire was first discovered in a partly abandoned stope in the north woTR- ings of the e00-foot level, between the Star and Highland hoists, directly un- der the big open cut, early Monday evening, March 25. The immediate location of the fire could not at irst be determined, but the presence of gas that had a noxious effect, induced the management to at once draw on the 1900 or more miners and concen- trate every effort toward locating and qnenching the blaze. The men readily volunteered their services, but it was found that no one could get within several hundred feet of the fire on account of the gas. In these efforts with men working in short shifts of five and ten minutes each, several hun dred were overcome by gas within the first twenty-four hours. but the management had foreseen this and lhad it's stan of physicians and hospt. tsls nurses on hand, and turning the "dry" room into a temporary hospital gave effective treatment on the spot so much so that no one suffered ans permanent effects.
 The gas generation by the fire wal at first not so dangerous. except tha
 those subjected to it for too long ; lperiod became as though under the ef fleet of laughing gas and, suffered sligh headaches. The company chemists lupon examination found 1t was chien'
 carbon dioxide.
 Manager Grier. who had taken pei
 sonal and unrelaxing charge of tn
 fire at once, ordered flooding of tn
 drift when it was found that the ord
 nary methods would not prove effe'
 tive. By opening the water ditches O

BRYANT WIFE |S NOW WITH HER
 HUSBAND
Josepha Gutierrez Came to Bis. bee with Antonio Hernandez From Clifton-Hernandez Gets Jail Sentence.

Louis Gutierrez arrived in Bisbee Friday from Clifton in search of his runaway wife, Josephia, with their two children, who had run away from bis home in the Graham county copper camp with one Antonio Her nandez. He complained to Justice Burdick of the wrong that Hernandez had done him in breaking up his fam fly. It was not long until Officer Wilmoth had Hernandez in the tolls and yesterday Justice Burdick impos- ed a entence of sixty days on the man who had so ruthlessly broken gp the home of his erstwhile friend. when he was boarder in the Gutiei- reg family at Clifton.
 Nothing but the woman's pigadings to be allowed to remain with her children and her final decision to return to the home which her hus- band promises to provide fer her here in Bisbee, saved her from a sim liar sentence to the one given her paramour. It was only when she faced separation from her babies that the woman finally consented to again take her old place as helper to the father of her children and live with  him again.
 She offered no explanation for her rash act in leaving the Clifton home other than that her husband had mot treated her right. When pressed for the details of mistreatment which she claimed had been heaped upon her by Gutierrez. she admitted that a comfortable home had been provided her and that her husband had pro vided food and clothing for her and her children. But she bemoaned his coldness for her and averred that h had been killing her love for the man she had promised to honor and obey.
 Gutierrez has been promised en- ployment at one of the local mines. He says he will give his wife as good a home as his circumstances will per nit and that he will do all that a loving husband can do to regain her love and preserve the solidity of the entire family.
 It was not a clerical blessing that Judge Burdick pronounced on the re- united couple as they strode out of his office yesterday, yowing to start life anew and live in a better way, but as a Cupid who does not wound, but heals, the torn hearts of the sep arated lovers, Burdick has all the points in the deck over the little male angel when it comes to patching -:p marital difficulties.

lines of pipe, each $50 feet long. were slowly laid. while the mine carpenters bratticed of the drift wherever possi- ble. The compressed air through one pipe and water through another checked, but did not extinguish the blaze It did, however, have the effect of holding the gas to large extent in that portion of the mine, so that men could work in other portions, and at no time since the fire commenced has a single one of the 1000 stamps been hung up, ore being steadily hoist. ed through other shafts.
 Specially constructed rubber hel- nets were secured and used by the fire fighters to good effect, air being pumped into them in much the same
 fashion as To diver.
 Careful figuring showed that the cost of maintaining a fight would
 prove heavy and might not, in the end
 be successful, so 1t was decided tC

President of Lesufe Lumber Company Remarks Big lm- progementS Which Have Been Made.

Among the visitors to the district curing the past courle of days IS |. J. Lesure, president of the Lesure Lumber Company. of Duluth. Minn.. and a stockholder in the Calumet & Arizona and other local properties. Mir. Lesure is now un his way to California, where be will join his wife and daughter, who have been spend ing the winter on the coast, and stop ped off ia Bisbee for the purpose cf making himself familiar with the To- cal situation.
 When seen last evening by a Re view reporter at the Copper Queen hotel, and asked concerning his visit and conditions ia the east, MT. Lesure said:
 While I own small amount of stock ia oze of the local companies that was not my reason for stopping off here. The real reason was that I wanted to familiarize myself with local conditions, because when 1 wis ited Bisbee last year and the year before, I was greatly impressed with the general air of industry and pros, perity which prevailed the camp.
 Even since year ago wonderful changes have been made in Bisbee not alone in the line of municipal i'm proyements, but throughout the dis trict.
 T only expect to remain day or two in Bisbee. and will then go to California, where will visit for a short time and then return to my home ip Duluth.

RICH STRIKE IN MINES ! OF TRIANGLE COMPANY
Find Four Feet of Very Rich Ore on the 350-Foot
 Level,
Prescott Journal-Miner)


 During the past week some startling developments have been made in the properties of the Triangle Mines con- pany, located about one-half mile north Of McCabe This company has added to it's holdings by purchase until it now owns group of seven claims GOV ering a lead paraileling the McCabe- Gladstone mine, which has been de- veloped by one shaft to a depth of 400 feet, from which $50 feeL of drift ing has been done, excellent bodies of ore being exposed in every face, as well as in the bottom of the shat. In a crosscut run from the east drift at the 350-foot level, which broke into the contact last week, four feet of ore was found, rich in sulphurets, which samples well in copper and gold. This important find was followed Sun. day by a similar strike in the east drift at the 250-foot level, a fair indi- cation that the shoot is an extensive one, extending from above the 250- foot level down and through the 350- foot level.
 Equally important, in the opinion of the management, is the fact that in a new shaft being sunk on the Sure Thing claim, recently purchased by the company, now down to a depth of sixteen feet, the paystreak has wfd- ened out to six feet, carrying values of $2 to the ton in gold and 2 per cent copper Work is being pushed in this shaft, as well as in the other, and Manager Lynch stated yesterday that there was more than enough ore in sight to pay the purchase price and for all the equipment and improve lments on the mines. He expects to have this property in the shipping list fbefore long.

BIBLICAL MYRRH.

You May Buy II and Frankineense IN
the Drug Stores.
A druggist recently gave Sun
day school teacher ID shock that he
is not likely soon to forget, says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. While
seated at the soda fountain the
teacher was delivering a lecture con-
cerning how much the world had
forgotten since ancient times and
how well it would be if we could
learn something more about the
articles of everyday use, for in
stance, mentioned in the Bible.
"Now, there's gold, frankincense
and ,myrrh," he said, "that the wise
men brought from the cast. Of
course we all know about gold, but
who knows anything about franklin
cense or myrrh?"
"We've got 'em for sale right
here" said The druggist, reaching
for bottle, which he placed on the
counter before the astonished lee
turer. "Here's your frankincenSe,
and" setting down another bottle,
''here's your myrrh. Now, while
I think of it," bringing thirds bot
tie, "here's your mamma too. They
are all gums. Myrrh is the dried
sap of a genus of trees and shrubs
growing in Arabia, Persia and In
dia; incense is composed in great
part of the olibanum gum, the sap
of tree which grows in Arabia all
along the Red sea coast, on the east
coast of Africa and in great abun-
dance in India.
'"To make the incense used in the
churches the olibanum is some
times mixed with myrrh, cascarilla
and storax, also an oriental gum.
The shrubs producing myrrh are
found all around the Mediterranean,
the best qualities coming from Sic
| lily. The mamma of the drug store
is also kind of gum, an exudation
from several varieties of small trees
and shrubs growing in Arabia and
here and there through southern
Asia. The monks of Mount Sinai
pack 600 or 800 pounds of mamma
every season.
"Both myrrh and mama are often
used in compounding prescriptions,
and incense, of course, is. in con.
stant demand in the churches. 1t
is rather curious, however, that dur
ing all the centuries from the time
when the Jews marched out of
Egypt myrrh, incense and mama
have year by year been collected and
sent to Europe from the same coun-
tries in which they are first men
toned and that the incense burned
in our churches today is of the same
kind and comes from the same
places as that which smoked in
| Aaron's censer."

The Gypsies of Hungary.

Hungary is the home of the
Tziganes in so far as they have any
home. In all other European coun-
tries they were prosecuted for cen
turies, but in the fifteenth century
the Hungarians took pity on them
There are about 100000 Tziganes
in Hungary, and, with few excep-
tions, they are musicians. The typ
ical Tziganes may best be seen near
the Croatian frontier in the district
of agy-Karped, Their camps are
always set up at some distance from
the town or village and if possible
near a forest. Their huts have but
one room and are devoid of furni-
ture. Tziganes take their meals
and sleep on the bare boards. Many
unsuccessful attempts have been
made to restrain the Tziganes, The
Emperor Joseph II. once allotted
land and ordered them to cultivate
their acres. They turned their
houses into stables, set up tents
near by for their own use, and to
prevent the corn given them for
seed from sprouting they boiled it.
