Harry C. Parker, chief engineer
Of the Nevada Utah company, re-
ceived last Tuesday wire from Err
nest r. WoolIey, president of the
foregoing named corporation, sp-
praisnq him Of the good news that
the Day-Bristol merger was real
ity.
This means the bringing together
of all the holdings of the Bristol Con-
solidated Mining company and the
Day mine properties of the Nevada
Utah. The new company is to
be known as the Day-Bristol ConsoI-
idated Mining company, the capi-
talization of which is $1o,oCD,ooo.
The number Of shares in the corpor-
alton is 1000 900, par value $40. OF
this amount, the stockholders Of
Nevada Utah will receive 100000 In
the new company for their property,
and the Bristol stockholders viii
receive a like amount for thehir in
terests, leaving 100000 shares In
the treasury.
When one takes into considera-
ton the facts that in the early days
the Bristol properties produced over
$4,000, 900 worth of bullion, which
was treated at the old Bristol smelter'
and that the Day mine at the present
time is the heaviest shipper in the
Phoebe district, he comes face to
face with the truth that this IS
the biggest and most far-reachins
deal that has been consummated in
Phoebe mining properties in many
many days.
The expression of Mr.. Woolley, ~
hope the Phoebe people will like it,"
was answered affirmativeIy both in
word and look by old-timers who
have pinned their faith and hopes
for Pioches greatness upon the
mountain Of treasure in the Bris-
toI and Jackrabbit districts.

HRISTOL-DAY COMBINED
Most Important Mining Deal Affecting Property In Pioche
That Has Been Consummated In Many DAYS

by those who are acquainted with
the ore zone through which it will
pass, that sufficient ore will be
removed in the construction to pay
the expense of same. Through this
tunnel then, will pass all the ores
from the two districts to be deliv-
cred to the S. P. S. L. & l.. A. rail-
road, via the Nevada Utah company S
narrow guaged line. Thus will this
mountain of enormous bodies of
ore be mined as unit, just as ma
ture intended it to be.
WHAT BILL" LLOYD SAYS
According to William Lloyd, who's
experiences in the Bristol district
cover a period of twenty years, and
who is responsible for much of the
data contained in this article, the
nature of the ores in these districts
Is similar to those found in the Tin
tic district, Utah. There is this diff
ference, however, the ore penalizing
silica is found in less quantities in
the Bristol district than obtain in
the mines of Tintic, a fact which
will figure materially as an asset
for the new consolidation. Mr.. Lloyd
further states that, the ore bodies
already blocked out are extensive and
easily mined, but to judge the fu-
ture possibilities by even this flatter-
ing showing. would be like one study
ing geography with his face close
to the earth simultaneously with
the closing of this deal there is
dawning a brighter day for Phoebe
and Lincoln county

DENUOHN COMPANY
STARTS MACHINERY

With its new machinery now in
stalled under the supervision of
Owen A. Bailey of Salt Lake City
and president of the company, the
Phoebe Demijohn Mining company is
pounding away with telling effect
upon its property, which is located
on the Prince Con. side of the camp
The machinery consists of an up
to-date gasoline hoist and air compress
sor
1t is the purpose Of the company to
not only gain more depth in the shaft
but to explore the ore bodies already
opened on the 200-ft level.
1t will not surprise those who are
quietly watching developments on
this attractive property, If the Dem
John should not enroll itself among
the regular shippers of the district in
the near future

BRISTOL MINES WHICH
GO INTO COMBINATION

The Bristol Con. properties, in the
Bristol district about 25 miles north
of Phoebe, comprise the May Day, Ma
tional, Gypsy, vesuvius, Inman, Tenn
pest, Oregon Short Line and Iron
mines.
The principal development IN
these properties has been done in
the May Day and Gypsy mines OPP
erations we're commenced on this
producer in the early 70's. At the
present time the May Day shaft is
down 500 feet and is equipped with
a 25 h. p. gasoline hosting engine.
The shaft follows the rein which
dips at an angle of about 35 deg.
intersecting the vein of the Gyp-
sy. 4t
Throughout the entire depth of
the shaft. large bodies of ore are
exposed carrying per cent copper,
IA OF. silver and 80 cents gold val
ues, with a good excess of iron.
Several drifts on either side of the
shaft have been run on the strike
of the vein in this ore.
From the SCOTT level, or the bot
tom of the May Day shaft, drift
runs southerly-always in ore, for
400 feet and connects with the Gyp
sy shaft about 800 feet from the sur.
face. From here on, the two shafts
become really one shaft, and while
the Gypsy is equipped with Is h. p
gasoline hoist, most of the hoistint
from the underground workings
has been done through the shaft Of
the May Day.
The ore encountered in the drif
connecting the two shafts runs vel
in silver and lead with about pei
cent copper, low grade ore to be
sure, but what a vast area of i
for stopping purposes!
On the SCOTT level of the May Da,
winze has been sunk for 100 fee
and from this point another drif
cuts the Gypsy shaft at 400 fee

NEGRO PRISONER
 LEAPS ID LIBERTY

With his hands locked together by cuffs, Willis Johnson. a negro pris- oner a the city jail, leaped to liberty from the second story of the city hall yesterday afternoon. The negro lit on his feet and in an instant was up and away.
 There were half dozen detectives in the office and they immediately gave chase. With shout Detective Nation dashed down the steps and five more followed him. By that time the negro was out Of the alley and was dashing down the street. The officers gave chase but the negro had disappeared as com pletely as if the earth had swallowed him up.
 The negro left his hat on the cobble stones where he fell after his daring leap and there were splotches of blood on the ground, so it is apparent that he did not escape uninjured. However, the fall did not impair his running fa- cilities for he put the best records Of Barney Oldfeld to shame.
 The negro was arrested by Officer George Bagley on a charge of burglary and grand larceny. The negro was left for 6 moment handcuffed in the de- tectives' private office. Bagley was called out and without minutes hes itation Willis went out the window and away.

Calamity Was Predicted

This calamity is just what I have been predicting. There were no outside fire escapes on this building. l have been ad- vocating and agitating that fire escapes be put on buildings just such as this.''
 The police say that todays fire is the sixth or seventh in the building within 12 months, all of which, they say, oc- cured in the shirtwaist factory. The others were triflng. The factory, ia- cldentally, is said to be the first in which operators struck during the widespread shirtwaist strike settled several months ago
 By today's fire the total of shlrtwaist operators who have perlshed in New York and vicinity recently is raised to nearly 200. Not many weeks ago 9 girls met death under somewhat similar circum- stances in Newark, N. J.

Still Lowering Bodies

At midnight police and guardsmen were still lowering bodies from the ninth and tenth floors of the burned building under the glare of searchlights. Soldering hun dreds were kept back by the police as the work went on The regular morgue was far too small to accommodate the dead and the so-call charities pier bore the bulk of the charred bodies. The bodies were ranged in long lines down both sides of the pier, each in a wooden coffin such as the city provides for it's pauper dead
 Max Blanck, one of the proprietors of the Triangle Waist company, said to- night:
 How or where the fire started I have no idea There was no explosion, of that I am sure. We who escaped by the roof saw nothing of what happened below US. Probably we were the first persons to get out of the building. I cannot understand how the people on the eighth floor could have not escaped had they not been thrown into a panic. They could have made their way out by the fire escapes in the rear. This means of rescue, how ever, was cut off from those in the nintn and tenth floors by the flames"
 Blanck said he feared that his cousins, Jacob Blanck and Dinah Lifshitz, were among the victims of the fire. They were employed on the floors below the office and tonight no word as to their safety had been received

Policeman Hero

Jimmy Lehan, a traffic squad police man, dashed up eight flights of stairs when the fire was at its height. braced his shoulders against a barred door and burst it in. He found a score of girls mad with fright He ordered them down the smoke filled stairways. but they baked. He used his club and beat them down to safety. No one of the number perished.
 Bertha Weintrup, 20 years old jumped from the tenth floor and was picked up unconscious, with both legs fractured and internal injuries. She has a chance for life.
 A boy, who jumped from one of the upper floors, was caught by a police man, who braced himself and held the youngster practically uninjured, although both fell to the street.
 Mothers, fathers and other relatives, literally mad with grief. stormed the police lines at the morgue tonight. Hys- terical women fell in the streets and had to be carried away in the already crowf- ed ambilancps

Students Do Rescue Work

On the tenth floor of the building ad- joining the burning structure is the law department of the New York university. Here 20-odd students were listening to a lecture by Frank H. Harris, former sheriff of New Jersey. He saw the smoke and saw the girl trapped on the roof He led his class to the roof Of the university quarters, where they found two ladders. The boys seized these. bore them down two flights to the roof of. an intervening building. swarmed out of the windows and raised them to the roof of the burning structure. Forty girls were brought down to safety. Hyman Meseher. a cutter, slid down the elevator cable 10 stories and was found alive at the bottom, standing in water to his armpts. His hands were lac erated, his forehead was cut, but other wise he was unhurt. Just how many trips were made by the elevator will per haps never be ascertained There are varying reports of heroism at the ele- vators, but it was impossible tonight to learn if the lifts were operated up to the last possible moment.
 City officials announced tonight that the usual rigid investigation which fol- lows such disasters will be instituted at once Said Fire Chief Croker:
