Mayor Murphy explained that the

A Dest. uctive Fire

After years Of immunity from fire
Hawthorne has twice within as many
months been visited by most disas-
ferrous fires, one OF which burned one
OF the principal business blocks in
town, and the other, last Saturday
afternoon destroyed one ot the most
desirable residences, that owned by
Walter Cole, formerly The Bowler
residence. The origin of the fire is a
complete mystery, as both MIR. and
Mrs. Cole were out of town, and, as
far as could be learned, no person
had been in the house for at least
two days previous to the fire.
The volunteer fire fighters did ex
cellent work, as a high wind was
blowing and ola zing shingles were
carried quarter of a mile, but by
strenuous work the fire was confined
TO the Cole house, which, With its
contents, was total loss.
a jury of three inquisitors, namely
J, <. Adams, A. Summerield and
George Kemp, was impanueed to
investigate these fires.
One man was taken charge of by
the sheriff on suspicion. The jury
examined ten witnesses, who were
vigorously questioned, but, as no
person was in any way implicated by
this testimony, the jury returned a
verdict to the effect that the origin
of the fire was unknown to them.

week. They report that the ore body
is improving with each round of shots
and that stingers showing good val

coming into the shaft. Close observ-
ers of operations to date on the Hardy
report that in all probability the
Hardy may be the means of starting
new boom in this district. The
shaft is now down 90 feet and the
ore showing has broadened out to
two feet in width, assaying s34 and
containing five inch streak which
