 Quick Action by Goun-
 clmen. 10 BORROW $l0o,00o AT ONCE School, Wharf, Watxworks and Sanitary Improvements Covered. Alderman Saul Argues That the COun- cil h Making too Much Haste In DispOsing of the
 Bonds.

With little objection, the city council last night placed $200.000 worth or bonds of the recent bond issue. the bonds being fioated to cover the school improvements. sl4o.ooo water works Improvements $25.000. sanitary im- provements. $25.000. and $f0.o0O for the construction of a municipal wharf and warehouse.
 F. M. Kohn and Son, associated with the Fourth National Bank, both firms local institutions, Necured the carrying of the bonds. their bid being as fof- lows: 5
 To receive four and one-half per cent interest annually. to pay to the city a premium of $s.2o0. and to loan ~to the city for it's current expenses the sum of $100.000 until January 1b 1slo at the rate>of four and one half per cent interest. The money advanced on the. bonds to be in two miscellaneous the first paid to the city May l, 1s09; the second June 1. 1909.-
 As has been previously stated in The Advertiser, the $50.000 item of the bond issue authorized January fl, 1908 for a municipal hospital will not be placed immediately, the councilmen considering the floating of the $200,O0O in bonds, sufficient for the present, the hospital matter. in all probability, be- ing held in abeyance. until the next municipal administration.
 Chairman C. F. Moritz of the finance committee of the city council brought in the recommendation of the finance committee regarding the floating of the bonds at once and recommending the bonds being carried <by the persons. to whom they were afterward awarded.
 There was some little objection to the placing of the bonds at once. Alder man Saul contending that the step would be too hastily taken and that a better offer might be secured by more extensive advertising than has been done. but after a concise pre- sentatiopr of the case, by the chairman of the finance committee. and Presi- dent Gunter of the council, the matter was carried.
 The sessions of the council were called for last evening. the first being the adjourned meeting from the meet in gof Thursday night. the second be- ing of Thursday night. the second be- and act on the report of the finance committee. The alderman were some- what late in attendapee and because of this. the first meeting was simply called to order and adjourned and the matters of tine special meeting im- mediateIy taken up.
 After the first part of the report of the finance commit zee. which reccom- mended the creation of the office of a city street tax collector. After more or less talk the ordinance creating the office was passed The finance commit tee also recommended the city en- gineer preparing plans for and asking bids for the construction of a. munich pal wharf and warehouse. which re- commendation was converted into an ordinance and passed.
 Then followed the awarding of the bonds.

THRILLING REsCUEsFROM APART.
 MENT HOUSE.
More Than n Dozen Persons Are In- tured Including Five Ffremen.
 The Loss Ia e2OO,OOO

New York. Mar. 19.-The fire which swept through the seven story apart ment house in West Fifty-ninth street near the Hotel Plaza last night was not under control until 1 o'clock this morning.
 :. The fire was spectacular and replete with sensational rescues. A great crowd blocked the street below and cheered the firemen their work.
 More tran a dozen persons were in- 5ured, including five firemen. The building was separated from the Hotel Plaze only by a smaller build- ing and the hotel office was made a hospital for the injured, while many wealthy residents of the hotel watch ed the blazing building from the hotel windows and. doors.
 When the firemen reached the scene men. women and children, were sitting on window lodges or hanging out of the windows gasping for breath and others, overcome by smoke, were being held in position by their relatives. One girl was standing on window ledge on the sixth floor, preparing to jump into the street despite the warning of those in the street.
 Bremen raised extension ladders to the sixth floor. whence they carried down MT. and Mrs. John w. Mcdonald and their son, John and a servant girl.
 On the third floor the escape of Mir. and Mrs. Francis Hilhouse, their soh and governess, Miss Bertha Hulzweth was cut off by the flames, but the fire men carried Mrs Hillhouse and the governess down the ladders at the front of the building, while Mir. Hillhouss was trying to escape by the rear fire escape. The ladders at the front had been removed when MT. Hilhou came back and he hdng by his han1s to the window sill until fremen again raised the ladders.
 Mrs. Hillhouse and the governess were painfully burned before the fire- men could reach them and Mir. Hill- house was less seriously scNched.
 There were two elevators in the building and occupants of the lower floors were. carried down by one of the elevators. the operator of which stuck to his post.
 An hour and a half after the fire started, all the floors collapsed several firemen barely managed to reach the windows was the fiors dropper from un der them. Loss about $260,00O.

ANOTHER ARTESIAN WELL
Supply for the Schmidt Home in
the Mob Hill District.

An artesian well has been complet-
ed at the Schmidt home on Mob hill,
the driller being E. M. Churchill The
we'll is Sc feet deep, has a strong flow
of water and more than ample for do
nestle uses. There was no intention
in searching for water for irrigation
purposes so when the depth named
had been reached, and an ample flow,
which rose to considerable height in
the well had been attained, it was de-
cided to search no further. This adds
another we'll to the many already
bored in the Mob hill section of the
country.
The value of the underground flow
of water to the ranchers is consider
able as every home is within reach of
the best kind Of water for domestic
purposes no matter in what section
it is located. 1t has now been prac-
ticalJy demonstrated that excellent
domestic water can be obtained at no
great depth in any part of the Yakima
country. Scores of homes are using
such and the shallowest wells are in
many instances those on the highest
ground.

RICHES FOUND IN
ABANDONED NINE
Americans Discover Lost Workings
of French Owners-Paid Maxi
milan'S Bills.

Hermosillo, Mexico, May S.-The
syndicate of Americans and Mexicans
who own the famous Babisonora sill
YER mine, situated in the Sierra Madre
region of this state, have come unex-
pectedly into a storehouse of ore valu-
ed at upwards of $1,000,000.
This mine was operated by the
French government during the French
occupation OF Mexico. 1t is a matter
of history that during the few years
that it was in the hands of the French
it produced more than $4,000, 900 re-
venue from it's ores.
When the time came for the French
to make a quick departure from Mex
leo the old workings were hidden in
the hope that whoever might come
into control after them would not
profit by the richness of the property
1t was one of the chief sources of
wealth with which to pay the enorm-
Gus cost of the French government of
Mexico under Emperor Macmillan.
Could Never Find Riches
The mine has passed through vari-
Gus vicissitudes since the days of
French intervention. 1t owners knew
of its former producing qualities, but
the vast body of ore from which the
French obtained their big revenues
could never be rediscovered. New

WATER WHEEL FAILS
TO ARRIVE ON TIME
Power at GPandview to Irrigatc Land
Above the Town Cannot be
Developed Without 1t.

Engineer Noble is waiting patient
ly for the water wheel to be installed
in the irrigation ditch at Grandview
to furnish power for the elevation of
water to 400 acres lying above the
town. The hydraulic proposition has
already been outlined in this paper
and the manner in which the power is
to be developed from a drop in the
ditch. The only drawback is that the
wheel is not forthcoming. 1t was pur-
chased in the east. One wheel was
shipped and has never been heard
from since. A second was started and
passed st. Paul April %. 1t has not
yet arrived but it is expected daily.
No time will be lost after its arrival
in installing it as the water can be
used to good advantage this season
