the slow and uncertain movement OF
freight trains.
His Judgment was vindicated by
the deluge that has washed out every
railroad in Southern California and
tied up all traffic for an indefinite
time The pump was shipped We'd
nesday morning and arrived in To
nopah the following morning exactly
20 hours after leaving the coast. A
motor truck was waiting and the
pump was unloaded directly from car
to truck and the truck was started
for Golden Arrow, a distance of AZ
miles arriving there four hours later.
This is a record performance. The
express charges were $3.25 hun
dred and the freight rate was $240,
making the cost of delivery in Tono-
pah SIS The difference between
1 freight and express was only about
/ 500. Three shifts of men were stand
/ ing idle at Golden Arrow owing to a
| sudden lntluA OF water that drowned
out the lower workings.
Manager Kieron was drilling fol
water. He wanted water very badly
as he wanted to prepare plans for ;
mill. but did not want to undertake
that job until he was assured of al
ample flow Now he has more thar
enough and will proceed with the mil
design The new pump is of th'
Smith, Booth Usher Company make
and will lift 200 gallons a minut
from depth of zoo feet. At presen
the shaft is down S6S feet The con
pany will sink to the 400 and thel
drift back to the vein to establish
line of backs that will keep the ney
mill going for many months.

GARDENERS HOME IN PERIL.

Before the nre had been blazing long the
owner realized that his estate was in dan
ger. workmen Immediately started to
throw up mud embankments to keep back
the blaze. Heavy lines of garden hose
were run out and other men worked with
wet blankets.
The smoke OF the edges OF the woods
was swept away by tho wind, but In the
centre OF tho heavily wooded sections II
was so thick that several flremen were
almost overcome by the fumes. Showers
of burning leaves and twlgs, carried Ions
distances by the wind kept starting new
fires until the flremen hardly knew
which way to turn.
II is believed that the fire at I'D street
and Haverford avenue was caused by
boys starting a bonfire, which was blown
into tho woods by the wind. The other
blaze, It is thought. was started by a
spark from Pennsylvania Railroad loco
motive The loss has not been estimated
at either place. but in each many fine
