Good Money in
Building in
Camp

Real estate men all over the dis
trict are complaining of the lack of
sufficient houses for retail purposes.
The demand it is said, is we'll ahead
of supply and the man with money
to put in building of cottages assur-
ed that returns will be quick and
large.
In East Ely, Notwithstanding the
large number of new houses already
put up this season and the many
more that are being erected by
home builders, there are but a
couple vacant houses at the present
time, and these r not of the de-
sirable one-story type. A number of
applications for renting cottages of
the n story class are now in hand.
intended to build in East Ely a
little later, and who are now waiting
on houses to be vacated by people
who have homes of their own going
up.
At McGill the situation is also one
of need of more houses, notwith-
standing considerable building this
season and the removal of many
families from that point to more
desirable living localities. More fam
lilies are arriving there every day
and company quarters are ally filled
with many applications ahead. 1t
has been understood to be contrary
to the wishes of the company to
build more houses and unless abso-
lutte needs force it to this course it
will not do so
In Ely there is reported a scarcity
of rentable houses, while at the
mines, particularly at Star Pointer,
there is need of a number of more
houses. AS the real estate dealers
put It, there is good opening here for
the man with money to put into the
construction of houses for rent,
Either the man with the means
to build many cottages or the man
with means only to build one on the
installment plan, need have no fear
about the enterprise, for he is GER
tain Of a renter at a figure that will
pay handsome profits, many times
bank interest, from the minute the
. carpenters turn the job over.

 BRITISH JACKIES

Washington, December 2i.--(Special.) J. A Norfolk. Va. special tonight says:
 The enlisted men of the United States cruiser Birmingham were so impressed With the pitiable condition of the five men they rescued at sea last Sunday morning that they have raised a purse of $500, which will be presented tomor- row morning as a Christmas gift.
 The five men were taken from the British salvage tug Bulldog in the teeth of a terrific storm off the coast of Ber- muda. Their clothing was frozen to their bodies and they were nearly starved to death, and the American Jackies gave Up their own clothes to their English cousins and made them warm and hap py. They were rigged out from head to foot in American sailor clothes when they landed in Norfolk on Wednesday.
 The Britons lost everything. When this became known to the sailors they got together and passed around the hat. Every man of them contributed and the Christmas spirit in the air. as well as the awful plight of the shipwrecked men sent the American dollars on a good will mission to relieve and gladden..

'ROURKE SHOT AS STORE BURNED
M. c. SCREWS DOES THE SHOOT ING AND CLAIMS TO HAVE ACT ED IN sELF-DEFENSE-oLp TROUBLE ALLEGED.

A fire which totally destroyed the store of W. I. o'Rourke, on Walker street and Fifth avenue. yesterday morning about o'clock brought to a head what is alleged to have been an old feeling of enmity between O'Rourke and M. c. Screws. While the store of the former burned there occurred a shooting affair in which o'Rourke was badly, although not necessarily fatally, wounded
 o'Rourke and Screws operate small stores in the same vicinity, and when the place of the former caught fire yesterday morning, Screws was soon oh the scene. Screws declares that when O'Rourke saw him he advanced and charged him with having set fire to his store Screws claims that ORourke made an effort to secure a revolver from his hip pocket and states that he fired before O'Rourke could get to his revolver.
 O'Rourke was shot once in the jaw and again in the side. He was removed to the Copeland-solomon infirmary, where it is stated that the wounds are not dangerous unless complications set in.
 Screws made no attempt to escape after having shot O'Rourke, but waited on the scene for the arrival of Police Officer Ball. He was carried to the city jail and locked up on charge of assault and battery with intent to murder. The pris- oner does not deny that he shot oRourke, but states that he acted in self-defense.
