WAREHOUSE BURNED.

One of the greatest losses sustained by fire in camp for some time, was last Friday morning at o'clock when the Arizona Copper company's supply and warehouse was completely gutted.
 The origin of the fire is not positive ly known, but is thought to have been caused by electric wires.
 A. B. Cutter was the first one on the scene with a hose and immediately went into his office to try and keep the fire out of that room, as it was not at first thought to be of ser ious nature. However, he had no soner turned the hose on it than he knew the upper end of the building was a sure goner, as the flames had gotten into some paints, oils and other inflamable material, upon which the water had no effect. They immediate ly directed their attention to tEc say ing of the office fixtures and valua- ble books, records, etc. While they were doing this, other firemon arriv- ed and tried to confine the flames to 66e one end, but after fighting for a short time they realized that their efforss were being wasted and if they wanted their work to count they would have to turn their efforts to the surrounding buildings.
 The building occupied by A. B. Cut ter was by this time Sm" king, and every abailable string of hose was turned on it. But as the fire gained headway in the warehouse and was soon a roaring furnace, the walls of the building became red hot and threw off such an intense heat that it was impossible for the firemen to get near enough to the Cutler resi- dence to save it, so they abandoned it. For a time it looked as if the Russell residence would also go, ow- ing to the same difficulty being en- countered by the men who were trying to keep the hose on it. However, by getting blankets and comforts and putting them over their heads, and having the men further up the hill keep a hose on them, they were able to keep within fighting distance and save the house.
 The fire was doubly hard to fight owing to the great quantity of grease and oil in the building, and especially where the fire originated: and again owing to the impossIDility to get at it on account of the building being of corrugated iron. It is hard to estimate the exact loss as yet, owing to the fact that some of the supplies in the building will be unin jured. However, the probabilities are that it will F'e close to twenty thousand dollars:

 James WeSter returned last night from Washington state and the coast after taking his brother Tom, who has been at the D. c. Hospital for the past two years, to his brothers home near Spokane.

 Troop A has received word from the adjutant general that annual en- ampment of Arizona national guard would be held at Prescott, Ariz., from the 1st to the 16th of August. To go to the encampment it is necessary for Troop A to have at least twenty men. Strenuous efforts are being made to get the required number of men off from their work by the off CTS.
 Troop A gave another of their Sat urday night dances last week and were greatly encouraged by the in crease in attendance. These dances are not invitational. All you need is fifty cents. Every American in camp is invited to attend. They will be held every Saturday night unless notice is posted to the contrary in a conspicu ous place. Go down this week and boost. There was a dandy dance last week and there will be a better one coming Saturday.
