burned over an area more than a mile
square in the northern part of the town

stroycd an unoccupcd house and barn
owned by senator Nat H. DiVoll, and
several other houses were saved only
by hard work on the part of fremcn
ana volunteers from Charlcstown, y.
H., and Bellows Fails
The fire started from sparks from the
chimney of a saw-mill owned and op-
Grated on the lot by l.. C. Lowell and
William Workman, who have been cut
ting timber since March. The heavy
wind caused the fire to burn rapidly
and the area which was burned con-
tanned some particularly good pine
timber. Ir it was also one of the
best stands Of hickory in southern Yer
mont. The dense smoke remained
close to the ground making it difficult
to fight the fire During the afternoon

always kept we'll posted on all the
, current events OF the day, honest
and upright in all his dealings
with his fellow men, always ready
to assist the unfortunate and needy
as far as his means and ability
would permit. No man has ever
bee, heard to utter a single word
detrimental to the character OF
Captain Galloway. His friends
were numbered by his acquain-
tances. He had been looking for
ward to next November, when
he and Mrs. Galloway expected
to celebrate their golden wedding

tion he followed up to the time of
his death. He was successful in
most of his mining ventures in the

portion of the worlds goods. He
was man of very quiet and retir-
ing disposition, fond of home life
and never caring for frivolities or
excitement of society, but always
glad to welcome his friends and
neighbors to his home. By his
death this community loses one of
its honorable, honest and progress
sive citizens, staunch and loyal
friends. He will long be remem-
bered by those who are left to
mourn his death

Williams ten years ago, whose
death occurred one year ago last
month. He leaves one sister and
three brothers residing in Calu-
met, Mich. who were at the funer-
al, and one brother of Phoenix,

sister.
He was a member of the Odd
Fellows lodge of Russell Gulch,
under whose auspices the funeral
was held from the Methodist
church in this city, Monday, June
II, Rev. w. B. Read officiating and
R. H. Pearce as funeral director.
Interment was made in the local
cemetery.

Remarkable Record
In UnWatering Mine

Work of unwatering the lower
workings of the French Flag mine
was completed last Monday, and
a record for such work was estab-
lished that will be hard to equal.
Foreman Steve Harper made all
preparations for rapid work and on
Friday started the pumps at the
235- foot level, and after run OF
So hours the entire lower workings
100 feet deeper were clear Of water.
After the work had been complet-
ed and the pumps stopped the in
flow of water was four feet per
hour in the shaft, which makes
the rapid work more remarkable.
[ The lower level has not been clear
of water for many years, and now
that everything is ready, drifting
will be started and this level driv-
en- in under the ore body that is
known to exist in the level above
from which ore carrying high val.
ues in both gold and silver have
been shipped. The h 0 W n g
throughout the entire mine is very
encouraging and the prospects for
the output of big tonnage Of
good ore are very bright.

Daily District Is
Coming 10 the Front

E. R. Wiley. who has been con-
tracing on the Clear Creek and
Grand company's property in the
Daily district for several months,
was in the city this week, and re-
ports everything in that part of
the world as looking very good.
He has now about ten tons of ore
on the dump ready for shipment
but it will be increased to twenty
tons before shipping. The snow
is rapidly disappearing, and within
a short time the roads will be open
and ore shipments will begin.
Work is being pushed ahead on
several more of the mines in the
district. The Doctor mine is
showing up very well. as is also
the Lively Bros. property, and the
outlook for the camp is very en-
couraging.

Representatives of the Knox
Tractor company were in the city
this week with one of their ma
chimes to demonstrate its useful
ness in hauling ore and other ma
terial over the mountain roads. A
trip was made to the Idaho tunnel
Wednesday morning and a load of
ten tons of ore was brought down
from the Idaho Bride lease.
Whether or not these machines
can be put to practical use in the
mountain districts remains to be
proven by further demonstrations.
The price of the tractor is said to
be $1,000. Its power is tremen-
dous.
