shortly after ten o'clock Wednesday
evening residents OF Phoebe were startled
by the changing of fire bells, the dis
charge Of guns and the blowing of the
whistle at the Amalgamated Phoebe shaft
In comparatively brief time hundreds
of people were on the streets to render
assistance in getting the fire apparatus
to the residence of Frank r. Thompson
on Cedar street. which was in flames
Three lines or hose were stretched and
water was soon playing on the fire from
all Of them. The fire laddies did some ex
cellent execution and succeeded In saving
the building from total loss; while the
adjacent residence Of John r. Cook and
others pulled through unharmed.
Practically all of the contents of the
Thompson horne We're destroyed, the
fire having gained such headway before

NEW WATER MAINS HAVE
PROVED THEIR EFFICIENCY

The fire at the Thompson residence
Wednesday night gave the first effect
i've demonstration of the improved ef-
ficiency of the water system when a
fire is in progress
Al Carman and some of the veteran
fire fighters Of Phoebe declared .'that it
seemed like old times to have such pres
suret j
Some weeks ago the Amalgamated Pi-
oche company installed new five-inch
mains between the lower tanks and the
win Brown residence on upper Main
street, replacing the old line which had
corroded so badly with lime that the
carrying capacity of the pipe had been
diminished about two-thirds.
The installation OF the new pipe re-
duces the fire risk in Phoebe very ma
terially. Had this work been done /,
year ago doubtless the fire of last oc-
tober would not have been so serious.

Of many mineral products the United

producers becomes an important source
Of public information. In response to

rector of the survey at Washington, con-
cerning the location of any kinds uinu-
tary to any particular market extracts
can be furnished from this list. The list
is not a published one, as it includes
about 10000 names and addresses of pro-
ducers and is constantly being revised,
the changes each year amounting to 20
per cent of the list. 1t can be largely
utilized, however, in reply to inquiries
