The colonel is a little weak On

off an inch to avoid a war. If any
captious critic claims that such a
river in such a place must run up
hill in spots and cross other rivers,
let it go at that. Maybe it does for
all we know. Anyway, the colonel
has been there and seen the river
and got hollis and been durked in

The colonel lis not . nature-fakir,
no matter how much of a political
fakir he may be. What he says
and writes about government and
politics should always be taken with
"a few grains Of salt; but what. he

WHOSE FAULT was Il?

There seems to be a difference of
opinion regarding the lack of water
at the fire Friday afternoon. Some
say there was not ~sufi cient pressur,
to carry the water through the hose
to the fire with force enough to do
any good. Others say the lack Of
water and pressure was due to the
tight linking of the hose at the
MIGRANTS. This is sail by an eye
witness to have been the cause at
the Crane and McFarlane hydrants.
There was not sufficient hose on the

A FINE new SCHEME

ITO the married man who cannot

gallon of whiskey and remember
there are sixty-nine drinks in a
gallon. Buy your drinks from no

time the first gallon is gone she
will have So to put in the bank aud

you live ten years snd continge to

have money to ruty yru de Gently,

Bis TANK FILLED
TO BRIh GURNS
TO The GROUND

1890 uLaa.Ha
That a tank containing 5O,0 0O
gelluns Of water should be con-
sumed by fire seems paradoxical.
but such was the case vest rday
when the big tank of the, Tonopah
Mining company situated on the
heights Of Mount Oddie on a level
with the North Star mine was COM
pletely destroyed and left a mass OF
embers burning for three hours.
The explanation of ,how it hap
pened is simple> but the actual
cause of the fire remains developed
in mystery, although it is thought
crossed wires had something to do
with the loss. The fire started at
the dashboard and famed by a
fierce gale ran. up the side of the
wooden covering untilit lodged in
the roof where it burned like a
furnace without any restraint. The
heat expanded the immense hoops
holding the slaves and the water
was released gradually. Then the
company opsned a three inch valve
provided for the purpose and COM
pleted emptving the tank.
AS the pressure of the water
vas removed the honps dropped off
and the whole structure collapsed
into q heap of cinders. No damage
was done by the flowing out CT So
900 gallons of water and the COM
munity on Mizpah hill was not EN-
barrassed as a supply was furnished
by the smaller tank situated lower
down the side of the mountain. A
new tank will be Installed in the
course of a week. The loss is cover
ed by insurance, as the company
carries a blanket policy with the
agencies, represented by the South
ern Nevada Abstract company.
