BURNED TO THE GROUND.

Saturday night about ten o'clock the house belonging to Mrs. Wier east of town was burned to the ground. Moth ing was saved. Mrs. Wier with her daughter and youngest son came to town early in the evening. The eldest son Yyle came to town about eight eight o'clock and every thing was all right at the time. About ten o'clock he received a telephone message from one of the neighbors saying that the house was on fire. he got home as quickly as possible but it was practically burn ed down when he arrived there. A number of neighbors were present and passersby who stated that it was on fire before it was noticed by any one. The only clue as to how it burned is that it is supposed to have caught from a spark from straw pile burn ing some distance, there being a high wind. There was a small insurance on the house but it will not pay one tenth of the loss.

BOOM THE BRASS BAND

Really, though, brass band is a misnomcr If organized in Mesa there will be no brass instruments
 Nothing but silver made and silver toned comets. basses, and other crooked pipes will be accepted by the men who blow notes in har- mony: not in Mesa. There is no req sen why the band should not be formed. There are score of Mesa men who have had the training Al one time the town had a very good band of some twenty pieces; but some of the men moved away, others had business that kept them from re- maining as active members, and for various reasons the band went to pieces. one of the principal reasons was that the support given was not sufficient to justify the band at that time. But Mesa has been growing, and under statehood will grow very much faster in the near future. Hence a band should prosper here from now on. There will be political cam paigns and they mean band music and more or less hurrah. Get to- gether. men of musical talent. and let the watchword be Success ("

Copper Queen Company Will Push De-
 velopment of Valuable Property.

Work on the Reid-Lcatherwood- Gicsman mines in the Catalinas is to bc continued, says the Tucson Star The owners of the property and the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company which holds the option on these properties have agreed to the eX- tension desired and the development of the mineral lands is to be contin- ucd along the same lines that it has thus far followed What the terms of the extension were are not stated but the options are continued.
 F. H. Sawyer. manager at Camp Apache is at present in Tucson and he told a representative of the Star that satisfactory arrangements had been made between the company and the owners and that work would be continued. He has recommended to his company that this be done and the fact that this recommendation IS being followed shows that enough is thought of the property by his su- pcriors to continue the expenditures of money upon it's development.
 Speaking of the Catalina proper ties. Mir. Sawyer said: 'I understand that from time to time there have been reports that we have made some big strikes in our work and that the fact that I have never announced any such strikes gave rise to the inn pression that we were concealing them. Such has not been the case We are working to develop the prop erty and ascertain whether it is a mine. There have been no big or i'm pOrtant strikes to announce. We meet from time to time with encourage ing results and these have been such that I felt warranted in advising that the work be continued. That the officials of the company feel the same way is indicated by the fact that We are to continue. What the reasons for asking for extension were <! do not know. That does not come Tn the province of my duty. There were undoubtedly good reasons how ever.

 It is the place to make a statement of what condition the buildings and sur rOundings are in for this opening.

The old Baptist church building has been gone over, and desks and woodwork have received a coat of paint or varnish. The main Grammar school building has been likewise i'm proved. The toilet rooms have been put in the most approved condition. Much credit is due to the board con- sisting of Thos. R. Dimes, Joseph Bir- Chett, and C. 4. SaylOr.
