0. S. Company Report
Tells Of Local Conditions

President ". @. Sharp. Of the United
States Smelling, Refining & Mining
Company. in his annual report to the
stockholders. has the following to say
regarding its property and plant Eu.
reka. Nevada:
Company's Property at Eureka Idle
No work was done at the Richmond
Eureka mines, due to difficulties with
the Eureka and Palisade railroad. This
railroad. which was damaged by floods
in 1910. and which since then has
changed hands, was re-established and
opened for traffic during the year 1912.
The new management published a
freight rate largely in excess of the old
freight rate. The new rate was not
considered acceptable. Pending the ad-
justment of the rates to a reasonable
basis. the Richmond Eureka mines re-
main idle.

FIRE IN THE ALBION SHAFT
Thought To Have Caught Tues
day Morning From Blaze in
Surrounding Sagebrush

The main shaft of the Albion mine on
Ruby Hill. one OF the properties of the
Richmond : Eureka Mining Company,
caught fire some time Tuesday fore
loon and before il was put out Wed.
nesday morning a considerable portion
OF the cribbing in the 600 foot shaft was
burned out. When the blaze was dis.
covered Ike Rogers. in charge of the
company's properties here, took a force
OF men over to the Albion and an effort
was made to put out the fire. bat as no
water was available, and the blaze in
the shaft had gained considerable head
way. nothing could be done except to
beat out the fire In the surrounding sage.

Tuesday night the fire in the shaft
had assumed spectacular proportions.

feet above the shaft.
Before recovering the shaft Wednes.
day Mr.. Rogers had some rocks and
earth thrown down the shaft. and from
the sounds obtained it was judged that
the fire had not reached the cribbing
and timbers in the extreme lower por-
tons. but how far down they had been
burned could not be ascer tanned.
While the cause Of the fire has not
been learned, it is thought that some Of
the wooden shaft covering that was ex-
posed caught fire from the sagebrush
that had grown up around the shaft,
but how the sagebrosh caught fire has
not been ascertained. No one on Ruby
Hill lives within half q mile of the AL
bion ground.
The collar OF the Albion shaft has now
been recovered and sealed up tight With
sheet steel and earth, and it is thought
all the fire in the mine has died out.

man slept in bis auto. hub deep in mud,
all Tuesday night. He tried to send a
wireless to the County Commissioners,

but there was no reply to his 8. o. 8.
The man who put in the night in the
Ledlie bog on ''the finest road in Lander

patcher for the Southern Pacific at
Sparks. Stinson has a short layoff for
recuperation, and nothing in the world
is so good to restore health as to make
an auto tour through the interior Of the
State. especially over the ''ine main

ter as being stuck all night in q bog on
a main road in sight Of the lights of
Austin is only one Of the many special
features of surprise that Lander County
officials have arranged for the delecta-
ton of the tourist and the traveller.
To make the journey more thrilling. no

flavor to what would other wise be a
dull trip through Lander County.

Stinson said his health was greatly
