lined with green tiles. At the base and
along the upper edge will be white

white. and the rays Of sunlight will be
filtered through the delicately tinted
glass ceiling.
Water supply Provided For.
In order that the water in the pool
may be ever fresh pipes through the
basement of the building will carry wa
ter not only from the spring on the
grounds but also from the mains OF
the city water system. Should an ex-
ceptionally dry season cause the spring
to run dry It will be possible to make
use OF the other means Of flling the
pool.
The pipes will carry the water first
through q system Of filters that will
remove every foreign particle, then
through boilers which will heat 1t to
the required temperature.
1t will take two and half tons Of
coal and sixteen and half hours Of

1t is the expectation of the builders
of this modern bathtub that the glass
roof, which will be of what is known
as puttyless glass-the joining OF one

eye-will not only serve to light up
the pool during the day. but that the

complete system of heating will be in
stalled. From It heat will be carried
to each dressing room and drying

on their dressing tables the means to
dry their hair by artificial heat.
The work of erecting this palatial
bath is already well under way. The
actual construction is being carried on
by A. M. Hunter & Son Of Irvington.
A large force of men has been at work

JOHNNIE Mine and
MILL DOING We'll

LOS ANGELES, March 22.-Mr. t.
A. johnson, vice president and general
manager of the Johnnie Mining and
Milling company, has returned to the
city from a prolonged stay at Johnnie,
Nevada, where he has been in active
charge of operations at the mine. Mr..
johnson reports general conditions at
the property to be greatly improved,
1886 tons of ore having been put
through the Nissen stamps and Lane
mill in twenty-five days. OF this tom
mage the Nissen stamps handled 1860
tons and the Lane mill, which operated
onlv about half of the time, handled
276 tons. The capacity of the mill has
been brought up to 80 tons a day, an
increase of about 10 tons, and 1T is
expected that the month of March
will show another increase of about the
same amount. The savings during Feb
ruary reached 9s per cent with ore of
an average mill head of $7.15 per ton.
The bullion production of February
amounted to a little over $11,6 The
underground work is progressing salts
faetorily in big breasts of ore at the
600, $50, and 700-foot levels, with
enough ore reserves on hand to run the
mill for a year. The first inventory
which has been taken showed an excess
of $4,000 invested in machinery ana
personal property. The future outlook
is bright and it is expected that the
output for March win exceed that OF
February.

STOCKS SCARED
Miner

Yesterday afternoon when the shift
in the various mines came from work
the usual crowd collected in front of
Harry Epstine's brokerage office to OBJ
serve the closing stock quotations, says
the Tonopah Bonanza of Tuesday. One
of the men, after taking notice of the
advance in Belmont, threw down his
lunch bueked and exclaimed that
he had worked his last shift.
Investigation proved that he was
one of the fortunate persons who
had got in in Belmont before the adj
vance. He had invested his savings in
the stock which had more than trebled
in value.
The abandoned lunch bucket seemed
to create considerable interest and re-
manned on the sidewalk for several
hours. The crowd that was present in
the brokerage office rendered their con-
gratulations to the lucky miner, who
after today, will be in a position to lead
a life of ease.

circled on three sides by a low range
of hills which fall almost perpendicular
ly to the fiat and provide an excellent
natural wall on which the building can
be erected with gravity supplied for all
handling of the ores and iuxes.
The topography of the country is such
that it will be an easy matter to secure
a grade for the railroad tracks at a
point above the buildings and all ores
shipped to the plant can be dropped
into hoppers for easy handling.
Surrounding the site are large de-
posts of copper, iron, and various other
minerals which will be in great demand.
1t will net be necessary to snip in from
the outside one pound of any 1ux used
as the immediate vicinity supplies all
demands.
1t is thought, if nothing unforeseen
happens, that one of the furnaces
will be able to be blown in by the first
of July, but this date Mr.. Y~erington is
not counting upon and would be per-
fectly satisfied to have it later.
The digging of the well in the CEN
ter of the site was done to determine
the nature of the land upon which
they were to build and this has been
found to be one of clay and gravel
which will make a most excellent
foundation. The large banks of clay
on the grounds will prove to be of great
value as the number of brick
that will be used in the construction
work will be made upon the ground and
machinery for the making of the same

Yesterday we visited the site of the
new smelter which is to be built at
Merrimac with President Yerington
of the Western Smelters company
and found that work had already
been commenced and preparations made
for a large crew of men who will be
nut to work with teams on the coming
Monday grading for the immense build
ing, saws the Carson News man.
A tent boarding and rooming house
was erected on the site and a force of
men were putting up a cook house. The
stakes are all set for the grading and a
large amount of grade for the laying
of the track on the ground floor was
nearly completed. Another force of
men was at work sinking a well in the
center of the grounds and had just
struck a fine flow of water which will
proye of immense benefit in the con
struetion work.
The contract for the grading, Whlch
is an extensive one, has been let to
Emil Peterson of this city and he will
put a large force of men with teams
at work. 1t is thought that within two
weeks the grading will be SO far adj
vaneed that the actual construction
work can be commenced. The great rush
at present is in getting the spur track
of the railroad upon the site so that
the building materials and machinery
that are now on the way can be cared
for.
The site is one of the most ideal that
could be found for the purpose intend
ed and nature seemed to have the idea

On last Sunday evening the addition
of ten stamps to the Pittsburg-Silver
Peak company's mill at Blair were put
INTO service and they are now running
as smoothly as any of the older units,
says the Blair Press. 1t was expected
that they would have been in action
about March 1st, but failure of some
cams to arrive caused delay. The full
complement of 120 stamps is now drop
ping on ore from the open workings of
the mine. No addition to the force of

Origin of Fire a Mystery.

There is no explanation as to the
origin of the fire. The old American
mill was built some five years ago by
a ~coterie of mining men, mainly of Los
Angeles. At the time the mill was con-
structed, leasers were taking ore from
the Red Top property, as was the Red
Top company, and most of this ore, as
well as a great deal of ore from the
Sandstone leases, was run through this
mill. Disadvantageous location, and
consequent lack OF ore for handling,
finally caused the closure of the mill
about three years ago, and since then
it has been a source Of expense rather
than profit. 1t is understood by The
News that the Los Angeles man who
backed the construction of the mill is
dead. Shortly after the mill was con.
structed a loan was negotiated with the
State Bank & Trust company for some
thing over $4,000, which money is still
owed by the milling company, and IS
still secured by mortgage.
According to the Investigations by
Chief Schaffnit of the fire department,
at 3 o'clock this afternoon, he had dis
covered no insurance upon the mill
nroperty. 1t was learned that the last
insurance, in the sum of about SS,O00.
had been held by Walter Whitmore,
now at Ely. He could not be reached
by wire today, so it is not known
whether that policy holds or not.
There has been no milling operation
in progress at the mill for more thar
two years. During the last two months
. connie of leasers have been working
ON the tailings pond, and have been
~eyaniding the tailings, they being per-
mitted the use Of the cyanide watts that
were outside of the mill buildings.
II has been supposed that the build
inos were securely locked up and Sc
cured from tresspass, and at the present
time the only theory is that tobacco
ashes dropped by n of the leaser'
eapsed a sm~ouldering fire, or that
tramns had gained access to the mill
and an open fire built for warmth com
m,nicated itself to the woodwork Of
the mill.

The chemical engine was at once put
into commission, and 1900 feet of hose
strung by the hose wagon from the near
est hydrant to the fire. The fire was
too high from the ground and too wide
spread for the chemical engine to do
much work, aid after one tank had
been used in cutting down the fire in
the lower part so that the fremen who
had mounted to the upper part of the
mill would not be cut off, the chemical
and hose wagons were sent back to the
frehouse to be ready for any other fire
that might start up. There was a gale
of wind blowing at the time, and Chief
Shaffnit had to watch out not only for
actual, but possible fires.
At the mill, the iremen carried their
one line of hose to the very top of the
structure, which was rocking and
trembling under them as though ready
to collapse at any minute. The sheet
IRON covering VI IHe HILL 1 q mcdouic
protected the framework, but the in
terror woodwork, dry as finder and
much of it saturated with oil, burned
like ~matchwood. The hose had been
connected to the nearest hydrant, 1900
feet distant, and to connect a second
line of hose would have laid the town
liable to destruction if a second fire had
broken out. SO Chief Schaffnit with a
force of volunteers, took his stand in
the top of the mill with one heavy hose
line, and combatted the fire.
After nearly two hours of continuous
and heady fire fighting, the mill proper
was saved. The ore bins, the sampling
department, and the engine room were
destroyed, but the mill proper was
saved-or, approximately, 80 per cent
Of the entire plant was saved. This
morning the framework and sheet iron
walls of the main part of the mill were
intact, as were the amalgamation and
concentration tables, stamps and cyan
ide tanks.
