orator from Butte, Now at

James A. Murray, the Butte multi
millionaire, and considered by many
as being one of the shrewdest mining
men in the west, gave a glowing ac-
count of the treasures of Old Mexico
as he sat in the lobby of the Hotel
Alexandria last evening.
Murray has just returned from Quay

the Tayo's group of gold mines. our
prospects, while undeveloped," sald
Murray, "look very good and believe
several of them will prove paying
propositions"
The man who has made the bulk of
his money in mining declared that
Mexico offered the best prospects" The
southern republic, without question,
declared he contains unbounded min
eral wealth. Opportunities present
themselves on every hand. II L hau
a young man I would give him pros
'pector's outfit and send him into the
hills. It's the best way to make
money. Mining offers the best field
at present and Mexico has the mines

taken from the mines, many OF them
worked years ago.
"Of course, it's gamble" ana
Murray smiled as he twirled his cane,
"but all life is a game of chance.
Moreover you take less risk for big

horse racing, although in that you do
get a good run for your money con

Murray will remain in Los Angeles
for several days, returning to Butte
the latter part of the week.

Although 1 have seen some very
good locations l have not as yet de-
cided upon them, because whenever the

buy or lease the land or to build a
theater which will be constructed up
on it, but there is one thing certain,
that there will be a Morris playhouse
before long in Los Angeles.

RIOTS ARE CAUSED
BY RAISE OF RENT
Twenty Thousand Tenants Threaten
Town Hall and Wave Black
Flag at Naples-Troops
Called

NAPLES, Jan. 17.-Twenty thousand
persons took part in rioting here yes
terday, arising from the discomfort due
to increase in rents of workmen's
houses.
A huge procession paraded in the
forenoon and halted at the town hall,
where a deputation conferred with the
mayor, who promised that the munic-
ipality would contribute $1,500000 to-
ward building workmen's dwellings.
Meanwhile the crowd outside, dis
playing the black flag, became impa-
tient and without waiting for the re-
turn of the deputation threatened to
rush the town hall.
The police charged but could not dis
perse the people. Fighting ensued, in
which police captains head was
broken and several policemen and
many rioters were injured. The ar
rival of troops prevented the mob from
triumphing.
The mayors proposal to build houses
does not meet the demand of the mob
and the agitation continues.

ON ROAD SCHEME

e County Solicitor Roscoe C. Ward
yesterday visited the capital at
Trenton and had an interview with
Commissioner of State Roads Gilkyson.
The Solicitor placed before the Com
missioner the proposition passed upon
~ the Board of Freeholders to i'm
prove the Malaga road. including the
pledge of Lands township to mairtain
the road after its construction.
Colonel Gilkyson said he did not like
the scheme at all and said that
nowhere else was there such a con-
tract. The Commissioner said he had
many details to look after dealing with
21 counties, and he was not certain
that he wanted to add to the details,
and have business relations with
numerous townships.
Col. Gilkyson requested Solicitor
Ward to present to him in writing the
situation in Cumberland with an
intelligent outline of the action of the
Board. He would then submit the
matter to the Attorney General for an
opinion.

no one being in their home. The
flames seemed to originate in the cook
house of the Robbins home. There
had been no fire left there and the
origin is mystery
The flames spread with startling
rapidity. The Robbins house was
swept with the flames at once, and
those who quickly gathered had little
opportunity of saving any of the
household effects. the most of them
being destroyed
Quickly the flames spread to the
house adjoining. the NJ E. parsonage.
The family there were awakened in
time to escape. and the most of the
goods were safely gotten out.
A strong wind was blowing which
carried the flames away from the post
office building, this being saved. |
Mr.. and Mrs. Robbins returned
from Millville in time to witness the
flames as they were about wiping up
the property.
The Wesley Hiles house adjoining
the parsonage was saved after hard
fight.
There was some insurance upon the
destroyed property.
