CONCRETE SHUTS OUT FIRE
Used to Conquer Flames Which Il Is
Feared May Still Be Raging in
Arizona Mine.

AS a protection against a fire which
ragged several years ago, and which
still may be smoldering. concrete bulk.
Thsada aaYs been Constructed in some
d the old drifts and raises OF an Ari-
IONA copper mine. This was done
wherever the engineers considered
that there was a possibility of danger
from a fresh outbreak of fire. Heavy
iron doors were built in some of these
concrete walls, to allow the passage
of the gases and provide access into
the drifts. Concrete also is used to
support the sides and roofs of a drift
and its raise which it was desired to
keep open as an outlet for gases that
might form somewhere in the interior
of the mine. This work shuts off
the old fire area completely from the
new workings so that, in case there
were an unexpected tanning of the
Goals, the new flames could not reach
the other drifts, nor interrupt work
in them.-Popular Mechanics.

Ramal Anniversary

Tuesday was the first anniversary
Of the famous Ramal day celebration
and certainly demonstrated what a
long chance our enterprising Yambas
took last year when they advertised
big celebration for January 9TH. On
Tuesday a soft spot close up to base
burner was the only place where
man could stay with any cofmort,
while a year ago the thousands of
visitors were greatly impressed by
the balmy weather here when the rest
of the state was two to four feet deep
under snow. 1t was huge success
last year and the nerve displayed de
served it.
Another and much more agreeable
difference in the day was the re-
ceipts at the Helvetia Condensing Co.
The celebration one year ago was in
honor Of its opening day and the
company received just "a pounds Of
milk. Tuesday there was brought
to the plant 24,O67 pounds, a gain far
surprising any in the history of the
various plants of the company, The
average receipts for the month so far
run above 21,0OO pounds per day and
the company is highly elated with

in the spring there will be daily re

or twenty tons per day, and says that
there are now about 26OO cows in the
territory, and new ones being con-

no interest are beginning to take hold
and as they see the results at once
make preparations to increase their
