Fire Destroys Times Plant
at Los Angeles.
FIRE FOLLOWS EXPLOSION

Officials Of Publishing Company,
Which Operates on a Nonunion
Basis, Charge That "Enemies Of In
dustrial Freedom" Were Response
BILE for Disaster, but Employees Who
Escaped Report That the Smell Of
Gas Pervaded the Building. ~. =
Los. Angeles, Oct. ga score of per-
sons are believed to have persisted in
a fire which swept the building occu-
pied by the Los Angeles Times.
The fire followed an explosion in
the mechanical department of the
Times and rapidly spread throughout
the entire building. The building was
soon mass of flames and firemen say
they believe many who attempted to
reach the windows fell back into the
blaze. .'' ''"
Immediately after the first explosion
sheet of flame seemed to envelope
the entire building, sweeping upward
through the four-story structure. Be-
fore an alarm could bring the fire ap-
paratus series of sharp detonations
shook the neighborhood for blocks.
Employees who had just left the
building when the explosion occurred
say that gas had been leaking some
where in the building all evening and
that the smell. of gas pervaded the
whole structure.
This has led the police to believe
that gas caused the explosion

estimated to be worth over 100000
and is total loss. 49, ~ IT,. =
Owing to the fact that the explosion
did not occur until after, the paper
had been gotten out the death toll
was much less than If it had happened
few hours earlier. ~
Times Was Nonunion Paper.
The Times building is located at
First and Broadway, in the heart of
the business section of the city, and
Is owned by General Harrison Gray
Otis. 1t is one of the largest nonunion
papers in the country and for years
has been the zone of bitter warfare
between General Otis and the friends
of union labor. Ill.,. ~~
The: Times has for years been run
AZ an "open shop" Recently union
labor forces have been engaged in a
life and death struggle in Los Angeles.
As result, and before there was the
slightest notice that the disaster was
anything other than pure accident,
enemies Of union labor voiced the sug.
gestion that the accident was due to
the union labor trouble. Officials of
the unions Indignantly denied this and
will probably start searching inves-
tigation to prevent capital being made
of the accident. They say that the
investigation will prove that the dis.
aster was due to carelessness and
lack of safety device precautions.
Harry E. Andrews, managing editor
of the Times, gave out the following
statement: =: 3.

by dynamite by the enemies of indus

stroyed. 1t will soon be reissued

Biq Mininu Deal in Butte.

The largest mining deal of the year in this part of Butte county was partially concluded today when R. L. Van der Naillen, manager of the Oroville Water, Light and Power company, act ing for himself and a party of Santa Rosa bankers, took a sixty-day option on the Henry Downer eighty acres east of this city. This land will be drilled for prospects for gold in sufi- cient quantities to justify the erection of gold dredger on the site. The company has made plans to proceed at once with the construction of a gold dredger to cost sI2O,OO if the drilling pans out well. The land taken under option includes the Oroville baseball diamond and the Speedway Park race track San Francisco Chronicle.

Copper CurtaiIment.

The London Statist says of the cop per curtailment plan: It seems that a serious attempt is being made to cur tail the production of copper. It is a very difficult thing to effect for it is to be recollected that agreements in re- straint of trade are illegal in the Unit ed States. Therefore it is difficult to see how any agreement that may be reached can be enforced. However, it is to be recollected that there are very powerful interests affected by the pres ent over-production of the metal and that they can bring exceedingly great influence to bear upon all concerned. At all events, these great interests be- lieve that they have power sufficient to not only bring about an arrange ment, but to carry it into effect sutfi- ciently to ensure a marked recovery in quotations. Unquestionably the pres ent state of the copper market is through the share market weighing upon certain departments of business; especially it has added to the uneasi- ness which has existed in the stock ex- changes and bourses for several weeks past. Therefore, if working agree ment can be devised which will admit of being put in execution and main- tained for sufficient time to allow of the growth of consumption it will do much good.

Working of old Placer Ground for
 New 0oId.

The New La Paz Gold Mining con . pany, Merchants Trust building, will begin operations on its property of five rich placer claims four miles east of the Colorado near Ehrenburg August l, according to O. L. Grimsley, presi- dent of the company, yesterday. This company is the one which recently purchased large allotmont of placer mining machinery and other material necessary for carrying on the work of placer mining on a large scale, and the company expects to be actually en- gagged in working out the pay gravel early in the fall.
 MT. Grimsley says he will have ten men working, beginning August l building pipe line from the Colorado and a large reservoir near the proper ty. It will take about two months to accomplish this task.
 The material which has already besn shipped includes a hydraulic elevator, powder, tools and a camping outfit. Other material for carrying on the work will be shipped later.
 The La Paz property is considered one of the most valuable placer groups in the southwest, and assays from sev- eral recent strikes seem to bear out the testimony of experts and engineer who have made examinations. These assays run from 3S to POS cubic yard, but in the crevices and pockets at bed rock gravel has been encountered go- ing as high as l0OS a yard. The depth ranges from one foot to twenty feet. It is an old seepage country showing seashells and was once the bed of the Colorado river, which has long since shifted it's course to the west.
 Property in this country, judging from recent sales, brings a substantial price. MT. Grimsley says he has just sold to W. H. Newark a claim near the property of the New La Paz hold ings for 45OOS, and claim sold about a month ago brought in the neighbor- hood of this figure.
 The country bears every evidence of being big winner, and next fall will probably see the beginning of general activity there. Parts of the country were worked in old days by the Mexi- cans. and thousands of dollars were taken out, and this. from all appear ances, without touching the richer

Rieh Ore Found in Tombstone Mine

A Tombstone dispatch says: John Rainey, who recently secured a lease on the old Honeycomb mine in this dis trict, has made a rich strike in gold and silver, and averages in the neighbor- hood of S200 a ton. The ground of this mine extends over the recent cave-in on Toughnut street, near the fire house. The strike was made in this cave-in in the old stope, from which over Sl, 900, 900 in ore was ex- tracted in the early days of the camp. The workings of the stope extend many thousand feet under the vicinity of the Russ Hotel and the depot grounds and it was about three feet under the old stope that Mir. Rainey encountered a ledge of rich looking ore, carrying horn silver, and very pretty looking rock. The ledge is about four feet wide, and it is estimated by those who are familiar with the rock and have worked in the mine that it is of the same character as that extracted in the early days, and that with further devoloment it will net Mir. Rainey on an average of SlOO per day.

Announcement was made yesterday that construction work would com mence next week on the S250,0 o plant which is to be erected in this city by the Northwestern Metals company for the treatment of the vast tonnage of refractory ores in Montana and Idaho. The new plant, in which the Baker-Burwell ore extraction process is to be used, will be constructed on the site of the old Peck concentrator, half way between Helena, and East Helena, and the first unit will be in wo, king order within the next eight or ten months. When completed the plant will have a capacity of 800 tons of ore daily and will give employment to upwards of l50 men. At the present time the company will rush to completion the initial unit, which will
 have capacity of 100 tons daily. An nouncemen of the intentions of the com Pany were made by Nj. L. Hewett,

A Boston dispatch says: A Lake Superior mining authority says. ''The Nevada Consolidated claimed for May cost of 5.91 cents per pound for copper. This is exactly the cost of Quincy copper for 1894, even to the hundredth part of cent, but some of the new and vigorous producers of today should remember that old age will creep on apace, and what a good new mine can make copper for is no criterion as to the average cost of copper during a reasonable lease of life.n
