ARTMENT
. CALLED OUT TWICE
YESTERDAY
FORTUNATELY NEITHER ALARM
WAS OF A SERIOUS NATURE.
DAMAGE SLIGHT.

The overturning of pot of molten
Stag yesterday at the Tonopah foun-
dry resulted in a call being sent for
the fire department The red hot
metal for time threatened the
building, but the employees with the
aid of sand and water had the situa-
tion under control when the depart
ment arrived, which was within a
few seconds after receiving the alarm.
Two of the men employed at the
! foundry received painful burns from
the Stag while assisting in the work
of putting out the flames. 4
An alarm was turned in last even
ing that brought every volunteer in
the city to the scene in record
breaking time. A small buildings di-
rectly in the rear of the residence of
Dan Sullivan and next to the volun-
teer gymnasium was discovered to be
in flames. The alarm had hardly
been sounded before the department
was out and had hose connected ON
the hydrant in front of the gymnas-
ium. Driver Poke" Kelly immedi-
ately laid second line of hose, con-
Meeting with the hydrant in front of
the Mizpah hotel. A third line was
then laid from the hydrant in front
of the Butler hall. In the meantime
the volunteers manned the hose and
in few minutes the fire was ex-
tinguished. No cause could be de-
termined and it is thought the fire
started from spontaneous combustion,
as the building was used for store
house and household articles of every
description formed the contents.
| From a distance the flames looked
as if they were emanating from the
gymnasium and the volunteers were
not slow in arriving at their head
quarters.

STRIKE RICH ORE
AT SALTWATER
A RICH STRIKE is MADE IN THE
MOUNT ANNE DISTRICT BY
JAKE GREGG.

Leon Cirac, of Saltwater, was in
Fallon last Friday. He brought news
of phenomenally rich strike made
recently in the Mount Anne district
by Jake Gregg. According to Mr..
Cirac, assays have been had from the
ore encountered running as high as
$195 and being nearly uniform in
richness, the average being around
500. Mr.. Cirac says it is the best
surface showing he ever saw in his
entire mining experience. Mr.. Gregg
is now down about twenty-five feet,
and is working in five-foot ledge of
800 rock Already he has some
thing like twenty tons of ore on the
dump that will go around this figure.
Mr.. Gregg has been offered $4,000
in cash and another $4,000 in thirty
days if he would part with a quit
claim deed to his interests in his find
but he thinks he has treked over our
hills until he has a larger account
marked up against good fortune than
the offer contains. George Gregg and
Richard Desmond, brother and broth
er-in-law are interested with Mr.
Gregg in this discovery, and Tom
Kenyon, Van Elliott, and the CiraC
brothers are among those who were
fortunate enough to have located ad
joining claims.
The scene of this strike is wei
within Churchill county, it being To-
Gated six miles northeast OF the
Eagleville MILL

issued instructions to the officers OF

year The imperial family will spend
more time at Potsdam because the ex-
penses are less than at Berlin.
The Emperor desires to sell some
of his castles. The projected econo-

be. II has been q custom Of recent
years for each committee TO be abso-
lutely dominated by its chairman. The
chairman was really the entire com
mittee, 50 that the chairmen Of these
committees have exercised autocratic
power, and they were quick to resent
the slightest interference with their
privilege in this respect even in open
council meeting.
This custom has been criticised Dy
citizens. By its practice the chair
men Of few of the leading commit
tees really ran much Of the business
Of the city. Members Of the council
have defended this practice on the
grounds that the chairmen Of commit
tees were over-burdened with the
work they did, and that the least
hat could be done in recognition Of
heir services was to let them have
vide latitude in controlling matters
within their committee jurisdiction. !
