TWO BURGLARIES
 IN ONE NIGHT
P. H. Fox's General Merchandise Store and Republic Bar
 Both Visited

Wednesday night or early Thurs day morning. when all Douglas was arruyed in the unstarched robes of slumber. some thief or thieves was or were busy in the pursuit Of an un- just and unhallowed calling, towit: breaking and entering.
 The store Of P. IT. Fox was enter ed by a large pane Of glass being re- moved from the door of the D street entrance. the putty having been cut away and the glass removed without a break or crack From a money drawer in the grocery department the thief secured between seven and eight dollars in cash and a search light and possibly a few other arti- cles.
 The same night the Republic Bar, owned by Gene vandeweyer, was en tered. $S.7O in cash was taken from the money cash register and DOT tion of bottle of whiskey from be- meath the bar. An efort had first been made to enter the Republic thru the front door which was cut around the lock with a knife. Not succeeding there. the party or par ties went 10 the back Of the building and removed a large pane Of glass much the same as at the Fox store. The glass was evidently thrown in- to the bay as it could not be found yesterday
 While three Mexicans were ar rested yesterday. it is as yet uncer- tain whether or not they are the right parties although there is suf- hcient evidence against them to hold them on other charges-furnishing whisky to Indians and carrying con- cealed weapons.
 Other and recent robberies have been reported. someone entering the hardware store Of Julius Jensen only a few nights ago, which same was kept quiet in the hope that the thief might be apprehended lt is be- Iieyed. however. that the same par ty who robbed the Third Street Mar ket twice within a few nights some weeks ago. is responsible for the late robbcries Also. it is believed that the guilty party is known. At least there arc some very strong grounds for suspicion.

TREADWELL
 ENDOWMENT
Completion of the New Tramway to Greatly Facilitate Handling
 of Ore

The following interesting account Of a recent improvement just com pleted at Treadwell is from the Treadwell correspondent of the Daily Dispatch:
 With the completion of the new tramway from the cyanide plant and Mexican mill to the Ready Bull lion, the united Treadwell workings will be in a position to haul ore from many Of its mills or mines by a complete surface electric trolley system.
 In an interview with l. D. Car penter, superintendent of building and repair for the Treadwell com pany, it is learned that the new tramway which was started the 10th Of last month, will be complet- ed about the middle of next week, after which, 1T necessity arises, ore can be taken from any Of the oper- ating mines to whatever mill is in need Of it, by the complete trolley system.
 The construction of the new tram way. however was done principally for Che hauling Of ore from the Bullion mine to the Mexican and zoo min It is approximately one half mile. or 22OO feet long. built 3rincipally on trestling. with the exception Of $50 feet, the highest point Of the trestle being about ~ feet from the creek bed to the top Of the rail. Approximately 2OO,OOO ft. Of lumber and timbors were used to construct the new tram and a- bout two tons of spikes, forty kegs of nails, and ten 2OO-pound kegs or railroad spikes An added improve mont Co the new tram arc the cN- tra long cross ties, five feet in length. running along the outer edge of which is a guard rail of heavy tim boring 4x6 inches. with a view 10 safety first" in case any Of tho ore cars or locomotives should leave the track, the guard rails will prevent them leaving the trestle.
 Considering the preliminary work Of constructing side tracks Co the cyanide plant, framing of timbers and the clearing done on the side hill. where heavy windfalls and large stumps barred rapid progress, splen- did time was made on the tram under the direction Of Foreman Douglas Meade and Mir. Carpenter. who hayo been rushing the work with a large crew of men for the past few weeks.
