Are Repairing
Retaining Walls

J. r. Payne, who had charge
OF the street Improvement work
for the Two Miracle company
last summer, has been in the city
for the past few days looking
over the work and seeing what re-
pairs will be necessary to put
the work in first class condition.
AS was expected he found the
roadbed as we'll as some of the
curbing had settled on the fills
and some of the sidewalks and
retaining walls which were put
in after it commenced to freeze
had cracked and this morning he
started a crew of men at work
making the needed repairs.

Early Sunday
Morning Fire
DANGEROUS BLAZE AT IDAHO LAUNDRY
The Total Loss Was Over OHe Thousand Dollars
Mostly Covered By insurance.

Shortly before six o'clock Sum
day morning fire was discovered
in the Idaho Laundry ond Main
avenue between Ninth and Tenth
streets. An alarm was turned
ir and the fire company prompt
ly responded. Meanwhile neigh
bors had been doing what they
could with the small hose con-
necied with the building but had
been unable to make much im-
preston ON the fire and the room
was full of smoke when The fire
men arrived and the flames had
spread to the partitions and the
ceiling.
The fire started in the front
end of the building and the IRON
ing tables, driers and racks which
were in this part were entirely
destroyed. The contens OF
Hoover's clothes cleaning es-
tablishment, which occupied one
side of the front of the building,
were entirely destroyed. prac-
tically no damage was done to
The machines in the rear Of the
building as the frc was extin-
guished before it reached them.
Very little damage was done to
the main part of the building but
the windows, both in the front
and rear were broken by the heat
and will all have to be replaced.
The building will also have to be
replastered and kalsomined and a
NEW floor laid in the front end No
accurate estimate can be given as
to the damage until carpenters
have figured on it but it is thought
that it will not be less than five
hundred dollars and may exceed
that sum considerably. This
will be more than covered by TN,
insurance.
Mr.. Hughes of the Idaho Lam
dry company estimates the COM
pany's loss at something over
five hundred dollars. Insurance
was carried on the machinery an,
fixtures to the amount of fivl
thousand dollars so that loss il
fully covered. Mr.. HoOver's losi
is between one hundred and nft.
and two hundred dollars and i'm
cludes two suits of clothes whicl
be had on hand to clean. II
carried no insurance.
The laundry and its patrons a
we'll were fortunate in the fac
that nearly all the work on han
had been completed and delivere
saturday evening so there wa
very little loss in this line, onl
:, two bundles being destroyed. Th
aundry started Monday mornin
on flat work and expect to hag
T everything ready and be doing a

Boy Drowned
At Calder
THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED SUNDAY
Son Of Mat johnson, Section Foreman On The
Milwaukee Railroad

A little boy was drowned in the
st. Joe river at Calder, between
st. Joe and Herrick, shortly af-
ter noon Sunday. The boy was
between four and five years of
age and was. the oldest son of Er.
and Mrs. Mat Johnson. Just
how the accident occurred is not
known. The boy had been play
ing out doors with his sisters
when his parents missed him and
began a search for him.
He could not be found ana on
further search his tracks were
discovered close TO the river and
close to a place where the bank
had been freshly broken off and
had fallen into the current, leav-
ing no doubt in the minds of the
parents as to the fate of the boy
who had without doubt wandered
to the edge Of the bank which had
broken off with his weight pre-
cipitating the child into the river.
Word was sent to Herrick by
telephone and Fred Daehnke and
two other men took a boat and
hastened down to the scene of the
accident. They spent the re-
mainder of the afternoon drag
ging the river and searching the
banks below but found no trace
Of the child. The current in the
river at this place is very rapid
and the river was full of logs at
the time so the chances Of re-
covering the body seem very
slight.
Mr.. Johnson is section fore
man on the Milwaukee road. Tic
has only been stationed at his
present location for a short time
and moved his family there about
three weeks ago. Mrs. johnson
was nearly prostrated with griet
over the accident. There are
only few other families at Cal
der and her isolation and absence
from her former friends makes
it still harder for her.

Man Injured
At Marble Creek
THROWN FROM MOVING DUMP CAR
Cut About The Head. Game To This City To
Have Injuries Dressed.

A laborer at work for the Mil
waukee Lumber company at Mar
bic creek was sent here to the St.
Maries hospital Sunday evening
to have a severe wound in his
head dressed. The wound was
the result of an accident which oc-
cured Sunday afternoon where
a crew are at work eXcavating for
the tunnel. The crew were load
ing broken rock and debris on
small dump cars which we're then
run down the track by gravity un-
til they reached the dump.
This man had charge Of one
of the cars and after it was filled
and started down the grade he
jumped on the rear end to ride
down with it. The grade was
very steep and the car gained
such Roadway that the man lost
control of it. About two-thirds
of the way down the car jumped
the track and ran against an OBJ
struction. 1t was going at a
high rate of speed and the force
of the impact stood the car up Oh
its front end and shot the man
over the car like a stone shot
from a catapult. He struck or
the edge of the embankmeni
which at this place is sixty fee
high and nearly straight dow
into the creek and only a few NOR,
inches would have precipitatet
him into the rapid waters below
where nothing could have saveC
his life.
AS it was he had a deep en-
about three inches long on hi.
head where it came in contac
with a sharp stone and his fac'
was cut and an arm and shoulder
badly bruised. He was assisted
on board No. IL that evening an,
was brought to this city. IT.
had so far recovered from tn
effects of the accident by the tim
the train reached here as to b.
able TO walk to the hospital.

I9 YEAR OLD FIRE
 STILL BURNING

There is a portion of the United Verde mine at Jerome, Arizona, that has been on fire for the past thirteen years and has defied all efforts to put it out. That portion of the mine is bulkheaded off and the rest of the property is working along as though no fire existed. The fire is visible from the surface through the smoke escaping through seams and openings What is actually happening is that the sulphur is burning off from the Ecopper ore and the chemical reaction that takes place produces heat to such Ean extent that all efforts to put it out have been failures. The copper that is left in this portion of the mine is actually enriched by the loss of the sulphur.
 A few years ago it was desired to get some of this high grade copper ore and a system of mining the burn l ing ore was devised and is being sue cessfully carried out. By means of bulkheads. firedoors, curtains etc., the fire zone is segregated and air is pumped in under pressure, This. not only serves to ventilate the drift but blows or drives the fumes of. the sul, phurous gasses back into the gronndl and the air in next to the fire is not at att uncomfortable, True it is hot and the rock that is being worked is So hot many times that it cannot be handled by the bare hands, but the men work in these places very satisfactorily and |the ore is being Ftas sFtEaetea with: 2 pr9' flEThe United Verde is a property with one ore body, bought in the sos for $50, ,OO0, and it is rumored that $1O0.. 100000 was recently refused for the property. The ore body is massive about 700 feet long by 1900 feet wide and the depth yet to be determined. They possess a model town of Clark. dale and a model smelter. The prop. erty has paid in dividends over $37, OOO,OOO, the greater part going to one mn, Senator ", A., Clark.
 1 The fact that thhssi mine has many iyears more to operate is evidenced by the recent expenditures of the com; e,!11; lpany for the improvements at Clark. dale costing about s6,OOO,OOO and doubling the capacity of their former plant. Although all Arizona has good reputation for it's treatment ot labor, this property has a particularly enviable one, and it is believed that this fact has been largely responsible flor it's success.

GIANT sEouoIA TREES.
One of Them is Known to Have sprouted s,2oo Years ago ana Has Lived Through Written History:

The Sequoia National Park is twenty-four years old, yet, east of tae Rockies, it is scarcely known:
 Yellowstone and Yosemite are the only two names which the enormous majority. of customers think k. of when National Parks are mentioned. Never Sequoia is, perhaps, in poirt Of average beauty, the superior of alt. It was dear to the heart of Ichn Muir, Father of National Parks. and Chief Geographer R. B. Mar
 shall, who knows them all as no other man knows them, having surveyed or
 trsas1vSiersed them in person, has deelar- ed in print that 1t possesses beauty las great as ali others Combined. It is par excellence the camping out park. "a as some day will be dis Icoyered.i ,'-r-zsZ.-ss S's -
 Perhaps the. most potent realoH for fits lack of celebrity is that this :. is
 the Big Tree Park. and the general public associates the Big, Trees q tCslffornia with Yosemite. The Mari Eposa Grove, within easy reach of ths FYosemite Valley, eontaias seyeral fenormous sequoih trees. In fact the sYosemite National Park contains fthree groves of these giants, the two others being the Mereed and. Tuo. llumne Groves, which lie, within easy reach to the. northwest.
 The Sequoia. National Park. how, lever, which lies many. miles south of Yosemite. was created to preserve lror the use and pleasure of the peo. fpIe of the United States, by far the
 greatest groves of the oldest, the biggest, and the most remarkable
 tfees living in this world. They
 number t,166,000. Of these, 12,000 exceed 10 feet in diameter. The
 General Sherman tree most celebrat.
 ed of all, is 27s.s feet, high with a diameter of 36 5 feet. The Abraham
 Lincoln tree is 27oy feet high with a
 diameter of s1 feet The William
 Mckinley tree is 2s1 feet high with g

WILLIS WRITES 0N HOWI.:10 SELL
 MINES
What Not to Tell the Buyer and What To Tell Explained by an Au- thority.

In the October number of the Ari- zona Magazine is an article by Charles F. Willis, director of the state bureau of mines, which should be of interest to those having prospects or mines to sell. It is entitled Selling Mines."
 The article sums up the various things which the ordinary prospector usually tells about I his property, which are usually of little interest to the buyer. Inadequate descriptions are the cause of many. mines being turned down without even an exam ination by the syndicates. Briefly summed up, the things the average buyer desires to know are as follows:
 Location, nearest railway station, and distance; roads and condition of the, same; transportation r., facilities and freight rates. It is also necesr sary to know, the, character of the de- posit, ore. and country rock, with maps, even though they are crude, showing the plan and section of the work done. The average width of vein should be known and the dis 1tance over which it gan, be- traced; |; the number of, samples. takens and where, with their respective values |is Of vital importance. The water, timber and fuel supply should be lgiven.
 In the case of developed mines, possibly having a record of produc- tion, the information available may be very extensive; in this case the one submitting the proposition should lgive description and history of the jproperty in as full detail as possible Having particular emphasis on the icosts. It is desirable also to know how far the mine workings are open for examination and sampling.
 The above are few of the essen I tial points. necessary to encourage ]examination and change of hands ot properties. and are described in de ,I tail in the Arizona Magazine.
