played. Inside this hospitable inn
you see open chimney places, massive
beamed ceilings, mission bell chan
deliers, iron latches on the doors, and
other reminders of the old California
days. The most striking features
Of the old time missions are repro

Santa Barbara has long been known
the world over as "The American
Mentone," because in seeking term
to convey its characteristics some
comparison with celebrated resorts
Of Europe was thought necessary and
this particular comparison the most
fitting. Such comparison is no
longer required. Santa Barbara is
a name that now everywhere evokes
the soft picture Of a rose buried spot,
more than village, less than a city,
rising gently from the sea rim by
way Of shaded avenue and plaza to
the foot Of the gray Santa Ynez
mountains, above whose peaks the
condor loves to soar; where, when
with US the winter winds are most
bitter, normal existence is joyous
activity in constant summer sunshine.
Here are found the best climatic adj
vantages of Egypt, Italy, the Hawai-
an islands and Florida. Four chan
mel islands lie opposite Santa Bar
bra-Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa
Rosa and San Miguel. The last are
only less attractive by nature than
Santa Catalina. Hotel Potter 10
Gated on large tract facing the ocean
boulevard, is a palatial edifce, six
stories high, covering two acres of
ground and valued at a million dol
lars. The architecture is that of
the old Spanish missions. There are
500 guest rooms and four roof gar
dens.
The hotel also has polo ground
and tennis courts.
Hotel Del Monte is one of Califor-
MAS famous resorts. 1t lies east Of
Monterey. The buildings are Of
Swiss architecture, being shaped like
an E. The dining room in the plaza
has a capacity of $50, and the hotel
has over 500 rooms. The 125 acres
OF lawns ana mower DeuS are CLe Ie
suit Of a quarter Of a century of
landscape gardening. Examples of
all the principle trees of the Pacific
coast are planted here and similar
feature is the Arizona cactus garden.
The hotel grounds contain 1866 va
rieties Of plant life including seventy
eight varieties of coniferous trees,
210 of evergreen trees and shrubs and
sixty-three varieties Of cacti, herba-
ceous plants and ninety kinds Of
roses. The maze at Hampton Court
has it's replica close by in the big rose
garden Of the Del Monte grounds.

Just when it seemed that the fire
was bound to cross the street, the
building fell, about las, and the
crisis was past. Help had been
summoned from Ellsworth, Hudson
and Saltwater, but when the great
danger was over these cities were
notified not to send aid. At Ellis
worth the fire engine had already
been loaded onto a flat car and was
ready for shipment on the 2:55
train.
Because at first it seemed that
the fire would easily be confined to
the basement little attempt was
made to save property on the two
upper floors. When the danger was
realized the building was SO filled
with smoke that no one could enter,
and consequently practically all of
the contents were destroyed.
The upper floor was occupied by
Geo. Theo. Smith and family, Mr..
and Mrs. Berg, Mr.. and Mrs. j..
Sands, Mrs. Julia Healey and son
Manley, the Boosal1s family and the
Offices of DR.. and Mrs. E. Randolph
Smith. All of these lost most every
thing they had in their apartments
and none Of the losses were covered
by insurance.
The store part of the building
was completed and occupied by the
Stewart Mercantile Co. in October,
last year. The upstairs apartments
were completed during the early
Spring months. The entire build
ing cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, and Mr.. Smith carried but
$4,000 insurance. The loss to the
Stewart Merchantile Co. has not
been defnately announced. 1t is
said that they had in the neighbor-
hood of $780, worth of stock on
hand. They saved their entire set
of accounts.

FIRE NOTES

Six hose, working nearly four
hours, only lowered the reservoir
"a feet. -
All the storekeepers along the
east side of the first block north of
Stewards were prepared to move
out their valuables.
One hose nozzle broke while in
use. Ben Rosenberg, who was dl'
recting it. thought the water had
been turned off and was surprised
to find that he was holding the
nozzle while the hose lay spouting
behind him.
Judge Knowles and Manley Heal
ey were both smoke victims. The
former was overcome while assist
ing with fire hose near the east end,
and the latter while attempting to
save things from his apartments
upstairs.
An outside entrance to the base
ment would have given the firemen
an opportunity to reach the flames
direct. Had they cut an opening
at the very outset and drenched the
basement they would have undoubt-
eddy been severely criticized for un-
necessary destruction. Now, of
course, we can all see that was
what should have been done. but
at the time no one thought it nee
eSsary.

STEWART COMPANY TO RE-
OPEN SATURDAY

The Stewart Merchantile Co. will
reopen for business next Saturday,
in the south half of the A. w. Lund
establishment, formerly used for
the display Of buggies and autos.
Mr.. Lund, soon after the fire, very
kindly offered them this space for
use until they could find permanent
quarters. 1t is quite generally un-
derstood that Geo. Theo. Smith,
who owned the building which was
destroyed Friday, will erect a new
building on the same site. The new
building will probably be but one
story high and will extend farther
to the south. The debris will be
cleared off as much as possible this
Fall, and work on the new structure
will commence next Spring.
The fle which destroyed the
Stewart Mercantile Co. store at
noon last Friday was probably the
most expensive one suffered by this
city for nearly forty years, or since
nearly the entire business section
was destroyed by fire in 1876.
Foremost in any mention Of last
Fridays disaster credit must be
given for the heroic work of the
River Falls fire department. This
was the most difficult kind of fire
to fight, but the men stuck to their
posts in spite of every disadvantage,
and their tireless efforts saved the
business section of town from de.
struction. By sticking right at it,
in spite Of the dense, sitting smoke
aud the furnace Of flame, they held
the fire in check and none of the ad-
joining buildings were even scorch-
ed.
The fire was discovered about
lI:40 a. M, when thin streams of
smoke came up from the basement.
Bales of cotton stored in the south
west corner of the basement had
somehow ignited and it seemed but
seconds after the first alarm when
the entire basement was dense with
smoke. First attention was given
to getting the office records TO safe
ty and when the fire department
came in quick response to the bell
the smoke in the building was so
dense that no one could possibly
survive trip inside the lower
floor doors.
Even then it seemed probable
that the streams of water directed
into the basement would soon ex-
tinguish the flames, but because
there was no out doors entrance to
that section it was impossible to
reach the fire direct and it was but
short time before the first floor
was burned through and fell. Then
solid mass of fire swept out from
every part of the building and every
effort was directed toward prevent
ing the flames from reaching across
the street. A blaze started on the
roof of the Gladstone hotel, and the
south wall of the Allard store smok.
ed and looked threatening. Lund
had boarded up his show windows
and constant stream of water was
played upon the boards. Two
stream of water saved the house
back of Stewards store from de-
struction, the fremen playing the
hose from the roof of the house in
spite of the intense heat.

Mohave County miner., 1915-05-15

There is a good wagon road from Grommet, on the Arizona & California railroad, almost to the Horn & Kelton group. The road is to be extended right to the mine and then shipments of ore will be made.
 Samples of ore taken from the Cop per King mine, near the Horn & Kelton property, recently tested at Bartles- vile, carried IS to 26 per cent zinc and from five to IA per cent copper.
 The principal development of the Copper King is 50 foot shaft, which is all in copper-zinc-sulphate ore. Salt Lake and Nevada parties are now ne- gotiating for the group.

Bia United Eastern Vein Gut.

This week the vein of the United Eastern was cut from wall to wall, the solid ore measuring 37 feet, three feet less than at the 465 level. And while the vein is smaller in size it is far rich CT in values, the entire 37 feet averag- ing better than 68$. The same width of ore in the crosscut above was some thing over 23$, and smaller streaks gave values of 71$. Samples taken from streaks in the crosscut have given assays away up in the thousands of dol lars.
 The work of driving on the vein will be undertaken at once. Machinery to handle the big tonnage of ore that will be brought out from the drifts is now being installed. A skip was sent out this morning by the Arizona Stores company, and will be in place in few days. With the skip rapid progress can be made in the drifts, which will be carried along the 300, 465 and 565 levels.
 General manager Long was in King man few days ago looking after im- portant business Tn connection with the future of the mine.

Richest Copper in Arizona
 Is Being Mined.

A Parker dispatch says:---Some of the richest copper ore ever found in Arizona is being developed at the Horn & Kelton mine, nine miles north of Grommet station, in the Turtle noun tains. Some of the ore runs as high as 40 per cent copper, while recent assays show values of S$ ton in gold and 12$ in silver.
 A tunnel is in 470 feet and the breast is 500 feet below the surface. It is ex- pected that the main vein will be en- countered soon. The ledge is irregular and shows croppings in places for a width of 200 feet. There are no claims in the group.
Mohave County miner., 1915-05-15
That Lincoln Highway.

Just now the much touted Lincoln Highway is getting no end of notoriety from the press of Utah. An attempt is being made to divert the road from Ogden and the Ogden people are saying many unkind things about the proposed route along the south shore of the Great Salt Lake. The Ogden Standard makes the bold statement that it is crime, comparable only to submarine warfare to route tourists over the route by way of the south end of the lake, as there are hundreds of miles of the most awful desert in the world to traverse, while the old Overland route, by way of Ogden and to the north of the lake, is the only practicable route. It is cited that in making the trip over the route proposed by the Lincoln Highway association young Duke lost his life year ago.
 A few days ago a largely attended meeting of the Las Vegas chamber of commerce was held for the purpose of boosting a branch of the Lincoln High way from Salt Lake south to St. George and across the small strip of Arizona at Littlefeld, down the Virgin to St. Thomas and through the Muddy valley to a connection with the Las Vegas road and then on to Los Angeles. For this work Mohave county is asked to build bridge that will cost about 5,000$. So far as this county is con- cerned there is not the slightest reason for the expenditure. Was this road built it would benefit the people of our little settlement in the north but slight ly. What the people there want is an outlet by railroad for their produce, and highway would be of only oc- casional use. And again, the people of the north are trying to boost straight route to San Francisco and no diversion will be countenanced, as evidenced by the scrap between the organization and the city of Ogden. The statement is made that the only contribution to the fund of the highway association by the people of Utah was sos, part of which is still in the hands of the Utah bank. Not only that, but the fact is that not one dollar has ever been spent in the states of Utah and Nevada on the Lincoln highway. From Salt Lake City the route passes through morass along the south end of the lake and then over 200 miles of the worst desert of Utah and Nevada, and these states have some desert. In the rainy season the whole country is waterlogged, no effort being made to raise the, trail above the level of the surrounding country and safeguard it from washouts. And then, any one who will believe that it is an all the year route is laboring under a grave misapprehension, for it is untravelable all winter long and part of the summer.

Spain and Italy have placed immense orders for war material in the United States the past month, which indicate that these countries are taking time by the forelock and preparing for any emergency. Both countries have de- posted with the National City Bank, of New York, nearly one hundred mil lions each to cover their war expense.
