an iron tank, which was at least 100
feet from the house. There was no
danger at any time Of the fire reach
ing the garage, but with an abuna-
ance OF caution the gasoline was re-
moved. The impression was gained
that there was gasoline In the house,
but this evidently arose from the dis
cussion of the gasoline In the garage.
1T Is impossible to express our
gratitude for the sympathy extended
to US by the people of Tonopah, and
we can only say that we but partially
realize the kind, generous and Iowa
BILE disposition of the people of this
community, after what has taken
place. Apparently every house in
town has been opened to us and
every assistance has been offered. 1t
is only another illustration of the
Western spirit.
THE cook was slightly burned and
Mrs. Pittman was badly burned on
the hands and arms In attempting to
extinguish the fire on the cooks
clothing. The cook was very much
excited, but from her statement an
hour or two afterwards l am led to
believe that the fire occurred by rea-
son of pouring grease out of a skillet
into the top of the stove. The flames
arose high above the stove, and the
wind coming in the kitchen doc
caused it to ignite some dish towels
on the wall and the paper back OF
the stove.
We are thankful that the loss is
not greater. and deeply regret that
some of those who were helping In
saving u property we're painfully
injured"

RESIDENCE BURNS
MRS. PITTMAN AND THE COOK
WE'RE SEVERELY BURNED
YESTERDAY.

A fire at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning destroyed the residence Of
Key Pittman on Prospect street, near
Tonopah avenue, entailing a loss Of
$1,000, with insurance on the build
ing to the extent of $1,000.
The good work of neighbors saved
the contents of the house in their en-
tirety, every article having been re-
moved within ten minutes after the
fire started, without damage TO any
thing. The major portion of the r
s~ilverware had been placed in the
bank vaults several days ago, leaving
but a few pieces In the house which
had been placed in a safe nook away
from the eyes of possible thieves,
which were found and carried to q
place of safety. The house was b.
ing renovated, the floors having been
oiled, rugs were, fortunately, in an
out-building.
Mrs Pittman was quite severely
burned about the hands and arms ia

loped the cook. With a ARE presence
OF mind, and disregarding her own
safety, she rendered the unfortunate
woman aid that probably saved he.
life. Mr.. Pittman came to tho rescue
of both women and managed TO ex-
tinguish the flames. Mrs. Pittman
and the cook had their burns dressed
by DR.. Mapes, and they were taken
TO the residence of Mrs. w. B. Pitt

last night.

BIG DEALS THAT
ARE GOING THROUGH

The me of monrS are coming to
Rawhide. This week two big deals
went through. The control of the
Rawhide Queens Mines Company, on
which estate is the famous Kearns
No. lease, was optioned by New York
and Philadelphia capital, at a valu-
alton of one million dollars for the
entire mine. The first payment oa
the two Mascot claims was made In
Reno, the deal on that property hav.
ing been put through last week.
A million dollars for a mine which
five months ago had nothing further
than some rich surface showings
to boast of, is a pretty fine thing in
any camp, and the best possible ad-
vertisement of the resources of the
camp. The showing on the Kearns
No. 2 did the work, and the Eastern
experts who were sem here to in
spect those showings were unani-
nous in their praise of the ground.
In the past to weeks there have
been a dozen experts on the ground.
and the men OF the London Venture
Company want to get in here, eithsr
in the Rawhide Consolidated Mines
Company or the Coalition. Two ex-
perts from the house of Rothschil.i
are on their way hither from Europe.
A mill of 40 tons daily capacity
was shipped today from the Union
Iron Works in San Francisco; the
Murray lease people will begin the
construction of a ten-stamp mill
within 20 days. II. w. T%hrockmor-
ton, who has been here from New
York for six weeks, has advised his
principals to commence the construc-
ton of a 200-ton mill on the fiat
right away. Anderson, of the Water
Works, will soon begin the construc-
ton of a 200-ton mill, and A. A.
Codd has already started in upon the
construction of a ten-stamp mill;
and the little Gates mill down in the
fiat has more work than 1t can taka
care of. and the owners are enlarg
ing their plant.
Options on several properties arc
held by outsiders, and two moro
deals have been practically closed by
Mr.. Throckmorton. The banking
situation is in a fair way of being
settled, and a national bank will be
installed here. The plant of tho
Rawhide Water and Reduction Com
pany will begin arriving here this
afternoon. In the opinion of tho
men who have given the creates;
study to the conditions of the camp,
bedrock has been touched and Raw.
hide is on the rebound. In the
meantime development produces
more gold, and strikes are as fire..
quent as ever, only that they are be
ing made at greater depth. The out
look for Rawhide Is as good, II moi
better, than that of any camp in tbs
world today.-Rawhide News.

REVOCATION
OF CHARTER
Hawesville Council Instructs
Attorney to Go after Tele-
phone Co., in Courts.

Hawesville, KY, July 1S.~There
is considerable turmoil here over tel
ephone matters. The Cumberland
company has discontinued the free
service Of subscribers to Perry coun-
ty, Ind, which they have enjoyed for
several years, or since the telephone
exchange was established here.
Cannelton and Tell City are both in
Perry county and these two towns
have had much business with the
Hawesville and Hancock county peo-
pie, and the announcement of a ten
cent charge has caused a revolt and
many of the telephones have beer
ordered out already.
At the council meeting on Tuesday
night City Attorney E. E. Kelley
was directed to notify the company
that it was now charging in excess
of the rates agreed upon when the
franchise was granted and that he
was directed to take steps to have
the charter revoked in case the rates
were not kept within tn provisions
of the charter.
