TWO FIRE ALARMS
 WITHIN HALF AN HOUR
Blaze at Home of Salvation Army Captain and in Alice Building An


 Two fires in about half an hour call ed out the fire department on Tues day evening, the first at 10.10 at No. 61 Otis street, the home of Captain and Mrs. E. w Wilber of the Salvation Army, and the second at 10.40 in the rooms in the Alice building annex on Main street occupied by the Misses Elsa and Alma Bauck in the man : ufacture of aprons and mesh bags.
 The Wilber family were all away from home and the fire was diScoV- cred by w. l.. Farrar and Dirk Bran derhurst, who boards with Mir. Far Tar in the house adjoining the Wilber dwelling which is in the so-called Kelly block on Otis street. They smelled smoke and upon Investigating saw the fire in the cellar of the Wilber house. MT. Farrar broke in a back door and at first made a search through the bedrooms thinking some of the small children in the Wilber family might be asleep there. but they were all out.
 Then with pails of water he and Mir. Branderhurst tried to put out the fire while a telephone alarm was sent in and bell alarm was sent from box 31 at the head of the Little Plain.
 When the department men arrived they found that the fire had started from a fireplace and had burned through the floor into the cellar. A portion of the floor had to be chopped out to get at it and a large quantity of chemical was used before all the fire was out. The damage by the fire will be several hundred dollars, prob ably.
 The apparatus was still at the Otis street fire when another belF alarm was rung in from box 223 near the post office for a fire which had started in small room at the back of the Bauck apartments.
 The smoke was seen by Dr. w. T. Driscoll. who has apartments in the Alice building, and with J. A. Cunning ham he broke in door and turned on a stream of water from a hose attach ed to a standpipe in the Alice build ing.
 Policeman Matthew Delaney was one of the first also to get into the Alice building, and he carried out the small child of Attorney and Mrs. Roderick M Douglass. who have rooms there. He helped Mrs. Douglass to the street at the same time, and she took the child to the home of Dr. N. B. Lewis.
 P. Antoofian, who has a photograph gallery next to the Bauck rooms was about to jump out the front window to the street when he was warned back by people from the sidewalk be- low. Chemical Co. No. 1, which was the first to arrive on the scene, ran a ladder up. and he came down that, fol- lowed by his wife.
 The fire started in a-quantity of loose cloth and was under good headway when discovered. A line of chemical was run up from the street and was used in putting out the blaze.
 There was insurance of $500 on the Bauck property. The lower part of the building is occupied by a shoe store and a bowling ally

EIGHT FEET OF ORE
IN COALITION MINE

The seven Troughs Coalition mine
has eight feet Of ore that will aver
age $50 to the ton, according TO +.
NJ. Manson. general manager tot the
Utah Ore Sempling company, who
returned from Nevada Yesterday.
Mr.. Manson predicts hat the Seven
Troughs Coalition VIII become n of
the greatest producers in the state,
and SAYS that the property is in ex-
e%ellent condition.
The present ore body is on the
| .200-foot level and the shoot along
the strike is at least sixty feet in
length. The mine is producing in
the neighborhcod of $500 worth Of
ore per dav. considerable of which is
lheing treated in the mill
At Rochester the Nevada-Pack-
lard. TIE Big Four, the Codd and the
Four ] are all in excellent condition.
according to Manager Manson. The
camp IS shipping about eight car
loads Of ore per week, or approx.
matelv 100 tons. A number of the
properties producing silver have cur
tailed their output. The extension is
the Nevada Short Line railroad to
the mines, a distance of about nine
miles. is being pushed rapidly. and
there is every reason to believe that
the work will be completed within
the next sixty days.
One of the very good finds made
recently has been on the Buck &
Charlie property. located on Lincoln
hill. in the western section of the
Rochester district. Eight feet of ore
has beer opened up in the lowest
tunnel which will average about $40
la ton. A carload of silver-lead ore
was shipped from this same property
recently that returned very good
values.
On the Codd lease. on the property
OF the Rochester Mines company. the
''hack vein' has been exposed on the
$50 level. It has a width of seven to
eight feet and yields average values
of SIS a ton in silver and gold, the
former predominating. On the Big
-Four lease a erosscut has opened up
on the 2O0-foot level of the shaft a
new vein eight feet wide that ASSAYS
from $25 to $50 a ton. The -Four J
lease is also showing up well, the last
find being a vein which varies in
width from five to ten feet and asasys
SIS a ton.
At Battle Mountain the Abel mine
is steadily producing ore which is
being milled on the property. The
mine is in excellent condition and
the concentrates from the mill will
run in the neighborhood of zoe
ounces in silver. A shoot of ore has
been opened for l25 feet along the
strike of the vein.
In the camp of Lucky Boy the new
strike made recently in the long tun-
mel being driven for the purpose of
unwatering the various properties is
holding out. The company is not
developing the ore bodies that have
len cut, however, but is driving the
tunnel steadily ahead. Three shifts
are employed with machine drills.
This tunnel should be under the ia
nous Hubbard property by the. first
of the year. The only ore that is be-
ing shipped from the tunnel is that
is taken out during the work of
pushing the tunnel ahead.-Salt Lake

GOOD PROSPECT
OF BUILDING ". n.

In spite of the wars effect on imam
e;al conditions, the prospects for the
construction of the oise-W lnnemucca
railroad are brighter than ever sine
the announcement has been made
that the Denver & Rio Grande stands
/, ready to meet the semi-annual inter
est on Western Pacific first mortgage
Ibonds under its guarantee which was
due September 1. The announcement
is in the Wall Street Journal of Aug.
10th.
With its comes a significant an
noupcement as to the need of the
Western Pacific for feeders. The
road has not been paying, but its n
naneial condition has not been as bad
as had been expected in some quart
ers. That the road is operated at a
loss is attributed to its lack of feed
ers.
Coincident with the announcement
that the news from Winnemucea, of a
visit paid there by C.. NJ. Levey. vice.

Western Pacific. He was accompanied
by ]. r.. Stevens, representing Kuhn

ed
Nothing was given out as to the
1890 ,f thn;r xr.rtt 81 ANinnaunnPca
but it is known that the building of
feeders to the Western Pacific is being
strongly agitated i'm financial circles.
The Boise Winemucca is regarded
as the most promising Of the roads
feeder possibilities.
The Western Pacific is a part of
the Gould system and the y. =. r. G..
is heavily interested in it, owning
$40. 0O0, 900 of its second mortgage
bonds. According to the Wall Street
Journal, the Western Pacific earned
in 1912 only $97 900 with which to
meet the interest on its $~3,750,000
first and second mortgage bonds. In
1913 available earning swere ST.,
100000 and in 1914 they dropped to
s697 900.
The Wall Street Journal attributes
the lack of earnings to the absence
of feeders and to the heavy expense
road has been under for repair
work. The financial paper claims to
information to the effect that
so. 900, 900 is to be raised for the
construction of feeders. Commenting
on the Western Pacific situation, the
Journal says:
cit is pointed out that the West
ern Pacific is a single steam railroad,
traversing long stretches of unpro-
dnctive territory, while if the same
plan had been followed by the Puget
Sound in constructing feeders, it
would probably now be self support
