HAWTHORNE NEARLY WIPED
OFF THE MAP BY FIRE

Yesterday Hawthorne, the county
seat of Mineral, was visited by dis
astrous fire.
The blaze started in the rear of
Walter Coles saloon and soon that
building was in flames. The volunteer
fire department responded quickly and
soon had water on the burning build
ing, but found it impossible to save
this structure and tried to save the
others.
The fire spread rapidly and for a
time il looked as if the whole town
would be destroyed. Bales of blankets
were secured from Adams & Miller s
store and were placed on threatened
buildings, and by doing this and by
tearing down the smaller buildings
the fire was finally stopped. The build
ings destroyed were:
Walter Coles saloon, loss $4,000;
Summerfeld Mercantile Co., loss $10,-
600: Howard shoe store, $4,000; Esber
dry goods store, $4,000; George Pas
lows Palace barber shop, $1,000;
Boiling drug store, $4,000; Glenn Ogg
building, 1000 and Fred Wallace g
saloon, 81 900. Other personal losses
will make the total loss about $685.
600. The Summerfield Mercantile Co.,
the Ogg building and the Esber store
were partially insured. All of those
burned out have secured temporary
locations and have resumed business.
This blaze in Hawthorne is especial
" unfortunate in that it comes at a
time when the town is just recovering
from a long period of depression.
When the county seat of Esmeralda
was moved to Goldfield Hawthorne suf-
fered slump and only recently the
town became the county seat of the
new county of Mineral and began to
rebuild and recover its former bust
ness activity. No homes were destroy
cd bv the blaze, due to the heroic work
of the volunteer department.

in Northern Humboldt County Great Northern May
Extend Line From Dfdil Oregon to
Connect With ". P.

stock company an option on the Bull
head ranch. This property comprises
$4,000 acres of fine agricultural lands
situated on the line of the proposed
road.
Hill Line May Also Come.
By those in a position to know, it
is stated as a certainty that the Hill
people contemplte building into
uinnemucca in the near future. The
Great Northern at present owns the
North Shore, which runs from Port
land, Oregon, up the north bank of
the Columbia river, crossing the stream
at Cellilo Falls, just east of The Dalles,
running up into the Deschutes coun-
try, with Drain for its present ter
minal. This road owned right-of
way through Malheur canyon, the only
available east and west route for a
railroad through the Harney valley,
and it was generally supposed that the
line would be extended from Drain to
Ontario, but some months ago this
right way was sold to the Short
Line, when this extension was evident
ly abandoned.
But in May of the present year,
some months after the sale of the
! Malheur canyon right of-way to the
Short Line, Louis Hill, president of the
Great Northern, visited Burns, Oregon.
Now, Mr.. Hill is very busy man and
is not likely to leave his palace car and
journey $50 miles into the interior,
over rough mountain roads, unless he
has urgent business to transact. Re-
port states that at Burns he was In
consultation with William Hanlev,
known locally as the "king of Harvey
county, Mr.. Hanley is also manager
of the French Glenn company, which
owns the "P'' ranch, situated south
of Malheur lake in Harvey county.
Taking all the above facts into con-
sieration, the reasonable conclusion has
been reached that the Hill line will be
extended from Drain to Malheur lake,
and from that point, instead of turning
to the east and running to Ontario
down the Malheur canyon, as was
originally intended, will continue
south, passing through the "P'' val
ley and on through the Jordan and
Catlow valleys to DEMO, and from
there to Winnemucca. to connect with
the Western Pacific. 1t is well known
that the Great Northern and Western
Pacific are on friendly terms, and by
the construction of this extension the
latter road would have an outlet to
the Puget Sound country, while the
former would be enabled to establish
direct communication with San Fran
cisco and Salt Lake

NATIONAL SURVEY
NEARLY FINISHED

turned yesterday from the west and
left for National this afternoon in
Haeffner s auto. He. was accompanied
by j. W. Finch, formerly manager for
the Consolidated at Goldfield, who is
making a sightseeing trip. Both
gentlemen expect to return to Winnie
mucca tomorrow evening.
Today Mr. Campbell stated that the
survey of the surface and underground
workings of the National Mines com
pany was well under way when he left
camp a week ago and should be com
pleted some time this week. While
the stipulation entered into between
attorneys for the National Mines com
pany and the Mammoth National per
mitted of survey of the latter com
pany's property, no steps have as yet
been taken in that direction.

Deputy Sheriff Muller will leave dur

Ernest Williams, who has been held in
jail there awaiting extradition by the
Humboldt county authorities.
Williams and his confederate, Pow

were traced to Idaho, where they were
found in Jail, Powell at Caldwell and
Williams at Silver City, for the same

their trials Powell was convicted and

While the Silver State heretofore
has been rather skeptical regarding
the building of the "Golden Gate
road from Caldwell, Idaho, to Winnie
mucca, developments of the past few
days would seem to indicate that one
or more railroad projects are on foot.
Tn northern Humboldt county and
southeastern Oregon there is an en-
pire without a single railroad, and the
country abounds with unlimited natur-
al resources, which are attracting the
attention of people all over the coun-
try. That the great railroad systems
are looking over the field with view
to supplying adequate transportation
facilities is not strange, the only won
der being that the territory has been
allowed to remain in an undeveloed
state for so long a time.
Significant Signs.
One of the most significant signs of
a coming railroad is the activity of
f. p Ellison, of Layton, Utah, in ac-
quiring northern Humboldt county
lands, on the direct line of the propos-
ed railroad. Ellison stands high in
the councils of the Mormon church,
which, in turn, is heavily interested
in the Oregon Short Line and is in a
position to learn of all proposed extern
sions of the system. In case the road
has been ordered extended from the
Snake river to Winnemucca, nothing
would be more natural than for the
Mormons to avail themselves of their
inside information by acquiring large
tracts of lands along the line of the
road, which would be certain to in
crease enormously in value upon the
completion of the line.
1t is also probable that other resi-
dents of Zion received an intimation
that the line is to be built Fred T..
McGurrin, brother of the head of
one of Salt Lakes great financial in
stitutions, spent several days here re-
Gently inspecting lands in the Rebel
Creek country. This was Mr.. MeGur-
rim 8 second visit to Winnemucca
within the past 80 days, and, while he
admitted that his errand was in con
nection with the purchase of real es-
tate, he declined TO state whether or
not it was successful.
