scorchel while working close to the
flaming buildings.
Madam Fields and Madam Day had
not decided this afternoon whether
they would rebuild their houses.
This is the second disaster suffered
recently by Madam Day. While re-
turning recently from an auto ride in
the country, two highwaymen halted
the machine and robbed her of jewelry
valued at about $4,000, A short time
ago she gave an option on her Elko
residence to a nonresident woman for
$50, 1000. receiving a $1,000 deposit on
the transaction. The deal was not
completed.
Hundreds OF citizens, men and wo.
men, from all over he city gathered
last night at the scene of the fire. The
flames, mounting high, presented a
thrilling spectacle and the glow was
observed many miles away. Inquiries
concerning the fir" came. while 1t was
in progress. from Wells and other
places.
Sympathy and Help
Rendered by Citizens.
The seemingly helpless condition OF
the score OF destitute women last
night evoked the sympathy of many
kind.hearted citizens, both men and
women, and many offers of temporary
shelter and aid were generously tend
cred. They were domiciled last night
in various hotels and apartment
houses.
Madam Fields said she knew the
people of Elko were kindly and hos.
pltable, almost to a fault. but she had
no conception OF the extent and
warmth of their kindness until the
emergency presented itself last night
Some Of the best women of Elko tele'
phoned offers Of substantial assistance
and inquired solicitous'r concerning
the needs of the women. Almost all
OF the city's merchants offered credit
AMI help without question or limit.
There were untrue rumors last night
and again today, that one or more per
sons had perished in the flames. The
first thought OF Madam Fields and
Madam Day. when the fire started
was OF the safety OF their boarders
They were all quickly found and taken
to places of safety. The volunteer
firemen also evlnced presence of mind
and thoughtfulness at the beginning
of the fire by inquiring first concern
ing the safety OF the inmates, and mex
OF the safety OF horses. dogs, or other
domestic animals. To make sure. the
stables and outhouses were quickl,
inspected and two horses and n dos
were rescued.
Madam Fields and Madam Day each
has requested The Independent to OK
tend to the public, In their behalf, the
heartfelt thanks OF themselves and
their boarders for the assistance ant
kindly sympathy rendered to them II
was an exhibition of humane feellnf
! and natural nobility, they said. which
win ever be gratefully remembered.

MARKET SOON SHOWS
MARKED STRENGTH
6Orts OF Bears to Depress Prices
Eail-lnvcstors Want Good Amer
icmn Securities for Allies Loan.
BY BRoADAN WALL

New York. Nov. 2e.--Considering
Che shake-out OF the day before, the
4 holiday stocks did remarkably well
In Wall Street today. The opening
was irregular, but soon great strength
developed under leadership OF Steel,
OF which 10000 shares sold at l26.
In the afternoon irregularity devel-
cped again and the close was not ma
teriallv different from that Of the pre-
vtous day.
Bears were determined 10 get the
market lower and as part OF their
program they circulated peace ru-
mors They intimated that II the
banks are not 70 be permitted to buy
ehort-terrn notes the allies Will have
70 quI, buying IN America. Veteran
market observers ore OF the opinion
that II the bears have nothing better
TO offer they must be IN precartous
situation Everybody knows that the
allies have billions OF securities with
which TO back any American loans
they may desire and everybody knows
that even an unsecured loan would
70 well. what the real investors of
America want Is the deposit as COL
lateral against the bond Issues OF
about A billion dollars of the high
grade securities that are being held
back. II the bears had been really
thoughtful they might have cirou-
hated rumors to the effect that the
allies would sell the securities now
held In reserve. thus putting great
pressure on the market. Such a sale
would be feasible and profitable for
both the allies and the American in
vestors. for war or no war. the stocks
that have been held back are worth
their market price. And besides,
there is no end Of the war in sight.
1t was reported today that orders are
being extended well into 1918 for mu-
nitions Perhaps II was the decline
In Bethlehem steel that encouraged
the peace rumorss. Insiders OF Beth
slehem Steel are glad TO see the break,
for they think the stock IS on the
bargain counter at anything like cur
rent prices.
Peace talk was inconsistent with
~the announcement that submarine
.swarfare was becoming 80 active that
marine Insurance rates which we're
from TO 6 pcr cent a few days ago,
had advanced from 8 to 10 per cent.
Is Grain and cotton were steadier. All
evidence pointed To the fact that Tues
days market was nothing but an old
fashioned raid on the public.
During the brief time today when
values were being considered again,
attention was called to the placing OF
orders for $50. 600 tons more Of ratls
for 1913 delivery II Is estimated
that fully Geo, 900 tons have already
been placed and that 400 tons
more are about ready to be placed.
Basic iron or" sold today for $50
a ton. which Is the highest price It
has touched since 1874 Bessemer
sold at s33 and Il sale of low phos
phorus was reported at $50.
Naturally the steel stocks were
strong. for most OF the big companies
produce their own pig iron.

Donald Cameron, had blown up n
Chinese yacht or lorcha, destroying 100
yellow men from whom he had gained
passage money for America. Two part
ners of McNish escape. being Soy and
an Irish adventurer, Murphy. Though
failing in several attempts to gain re-
venge by killing McNish, the pair con-
tinue in their purpose and enlist In
their aid a powerful secret society of
Chinatown. Murphy mistakes Robert
Cameron, a wealthy and respected
brother OF Donald, for the latter. At
ter several mysterious warnings Rob
ert Cameron takes refuge on his
yacht with his daughters lover. Cam
eron Is kidnapped and Clyde, the lover
goes to Chinatown seeking for clews.
McNish is set upon by two Cinnamon
in front OF Robert Cameron's Fifth
Avenue house and is taken into the
home of his brother. Cameron Is fin
ally rescued by Clyde with the aid of
the police from basement where he
had been chained to the wall while the
place was gradually being flooded with
water.
