soaom CENTRAL MINES COMPANY
This pfopeoy Shows Every Indication
 of Becoming Q Great Producer.

Col A. C. Waters, capitalist Of Chicago and 4 r Ballou, secre. tary of the Sonora Central Mines Company, were in Nogales this week and report that extensive operations are planned on the Santo Domingo mine which will be on the spur of the new railroad into Alamos. This mine is one of the old producers, having yielded million dollars to the second level. The mine is now developed to the 3rd level and large bodies of silver ore have been opened up. A rich piece of ore from this mine is on exhibition in the Sonora exhibit of the Arizona Territorial Fair, the value of which is over 5000 silver ton. This rich ore occurs occa- sionally in the great vein upon which two other large mines are located, the Quintera and Zam- bona. Mir. Ballou states that it is the opinion of three mining engi- neers who have visited this mine that from the showing of ore and geological position on the lode 1t will make as great, if not greater, producer than either of its neigh bors. The Alamos district is about to enjoy the boom and production it's rich mineralized condition justi- fies. It will undoubtedly open some of the most successful mines in the state. The Sonora Central Mines Company has consolidated other mining interests recently, and it now controls some of the best mining properties in the Alamos district. The company has in all twenty mining properties.

Bloomsbury end of the river bridge
with a cash an inch and half long
over his ear. He was found by
station agent Peters, and DR.. Bier
man was summoned. On his ar
rival the Doctor found the man had

clot on the brain. Millard died at
2 o'clock on Monday morning.
The deceased lived at East
Bloomsbury. and was aged IS
years. He leaves wife and five
children. He was employed as a
painter at the car shops. The &C.
cident was caused by his falling on
phonograph disc which he was
carrying. He had been TO town,
and tarried too long, and evidently
became bewildered, as he wandered
about the field before he reached
the bridge. The funeral was held
at the residence of J. S. Barnes or

FIRE IN FIRST NATIONAL.

Last Friday at about I:I5 p. III.
smoke was seen issuing from the
cellar of the First National Bank
building, first by A. H. Genaria,
clerk in the post Office. The bank
officials were at once notified and a
fire alarm sent in. The building was
soon full of smoke, and it was pour
ing out of the windows in clouds.
1t was hard to locate the fire for
some time for this reason, and
though the hremen were soon on
the ground, it was largely guess
work in putting the water to the
right place. 1t was half an hour
before the fire was finally subdued
The fire started near the furnace
in the cellar, but as there was no
fire in it, no one can explain what
started the blaze. Men were at
work cleaning out the cellar and a
match or hot ashes from a pipe, in
the rubbish, may have done the
mischief. The fire burned through
the floor in the back end Of the Di-
rectors' room.
J. r. Townsend's clothing store
was filled with smoke, and many of
his goods badly damaged. He had
just received large consignments Of
new spring goods. The store has
been closed awaiting the arrival Of
the insurance adjusters who arrived
yesterday.
1t was lucky fire. Had it
started at night, the entire block
might have been burned.

COLUMBIA COUNTY SUMMER
SCHOOL.

he IOullu dLuudi oSoo'oh Va 'hO
Columbia County Summer School
will open at Benton on May 9th
and CONTINUE for eight weeks. The
Faculty includes the following
General Supervisor, Supt. w. w.
Evans; Principal, Prof. f. f.
Beare of Benton; Assistant Instruct
ors, Harlan r. Snyder, West Ber
wick; R. V. Wolf, Espy; A. S.
Fritz, Sugarloaf; Daniel J. Snyder,
Orangeville; Samuel Claman, Fish
ingcreek township; Sarah A. Steig-
erwalt, Lansford; Supt. S. H. Dean,
Mt. Carmel.
The scope of the school is de-
scribed in the announcement circu-
lar. 1t says:
"The great changes i'll education
al conditions and aims brought
about during the PAST few years IN
this county have created a demand
that many of our teachers shall ad-
vance in scholarship, that their
methods shall be more efficient, and
that they shall better understand
the course of study which they fol-
low. This school is primarily de-
signed to assist those who want to
do better work as we'll as those who
are preparing to take the Superin-
tendent's examination to teach.
1t is a lamertable fact that
many teachers make the mistake
of being content with present
achievements some who could, by
comparatively little effort, do ex-
cellent work. In this age OF rapid
progress and highly specialized
training, such teachers are sure to
fall to the rear. The day has gone
by when the people will tolerate a
poor teacher, and ere long those
who are not progressive will find
themselves out of employment.
Besides providing opportunities
for those interested in teaching
this school is a good place for pu
pills of the eighth grade and high
school scholars, who desire to
strengthen themselves in any of the
common or high school subjects
By this means pupils are enabled
to make up back work, thus remov'
ing their conditions and saving
valuable time.
We are proud of the fact tha
each year over hundred earnes
students, consisting mainly OF ex
perienced teachers, have consider,
ed it to their advantage to attend
our school, all going away enthr,
siastic in its praises. Upon our roll
may be found Normal graduates
teachers holding permanent certl
fcates, those with provisional o.
professional license, high schoo
students and eighth grade pupils
1t has been very gratifying to note
the progress of many whose sole IN
spiration toward higher and bettel
achievements, was received at thi
school.
In view Of the strenuous WORK
our students are required to DO, W.
have planned few excursions to'
recreation and educational purposes
Our aim is to vary these from yeal
to year as far as conditions VII
permit.
We regret that some OF our form
er instructors have left the county
however we are very fortunate II
securing thoroughly efficient teach
ers to take their places. Supt' D. II
Dean, whose sterling qualities arr
known to many Of our teachers, ha'
promised to be with US week o
two, to do some work in practica
Nature study including field ex
cursions. An effort is being made

BURNED IN PULLMAN
Louis de Lario, Washington Official
&a Was Dead When Found.

COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia, .Ina. T.
Louis de L.ario, a clerk Of the house
committee on irrigation, was killed
and three persons were injured by t
fire in a sleeping car attached to the
eastbound Los Angeles Limited train
on tine Chicago and Northwestern rail
road.
The injured are o. II. johnson OF
Salt Lake City, Henry Cabrow of Salt
Lake City and Mrs. r. Higgins of Car
bondale, Pa.
The Northwestern train had got
within a mile of Loveland. H.. wher
passengers in the Pullman car Red.
field were aroused by smoke. The
origin of the fire could not he determin,
ed, but had undoubtedly been smolder
ing for some time. as the car was
filled with dense smoke which %suffocat,
ed the passengers.
Louis de Lario. aged twenty-five,
who was bound from his home in Lar
annie, Wyo., to Washington, was dead
when found. The fire had started in
or near his berth, and the flames had
reached his body. almost d%enuding it
and causing some distiguration. De
Lario's Washington address was lilo
X street, Northwest. The passengers
in the burning car lost nearly all per
sonal effects they had with them, most
of them escaping in their sleeping
clothes.
The Are is said by the conductor and
several passengers to have originated
apparently in II Of the berths. One
theory is that it started in a berth oc.
cupied by II who had been us
ing an alcohol lamp to heat milk for
her baby.

WHOLE FAMILY DEAD.
George N. Devine, His Wife and
Four Children Asphysiated.

BURLINGTON. VT. Jan. Through
some unknown manner, but probably
by way of a sewer pipe, Illuminating
gas entered the house of George H.
Devino, a grocery clerk, at Winooski
some time during the night and as
phyxiated the entire family of six per
sons, consisting of the father, mother
and four children.
While all were dead when Devino's
brother broke into the house, it was
thought that the father had been arous-
ed and was attempting TO make his
escape when he was overcome, his body
being found on the fioor beside the bed
with the mouth stuffed with cotton
batting. The children were Isabel.
five years; Madeline. three years:
Vonne j., two years, and Cecilia, five
months.
The Deyino house is not connected
with the gas main. but as the odor was
very noticeable about the closets and
sink drains it is believed that the gas
came from a break in the main and
entered the house through the regular
sewer connection.
