 After a month in making obscrva- lions of the Silver Belt Consolidated holdings, near Humboldt, John J. Mahony, IT,, the president of the company. left for San Francisco yes terday, expressing himself as better pleased than at any time since he be- came interested.
 His favorable impressions are based on what has been determined, and not from what may be anticipated. He said: The drift from the 2o0-fooi level has started, and for the present .hcre will be no further sinking. The ore body exposed is gratifying in size and the silver-lead content is very satisfactory. The draft will go ahead and crosscutting to determine the walls is our objective. The future oi the Silver Belt is to receive other con sidcration, and after development warrants the action under considera- ton, publicity will be given. The outlook for realizing such move would seem encouraging, from the showing made. At no time have been so favorably impressed with the property as at the present"
 Mir. Mahony is called home on con tracting business for his firm, and ex- poets to return to Prescott during the present month.

kFTODl n1I >Hd1 = DdllN.t
 Out of the l6o men who had been called on to report to the local ex- emption board yesterday evening. only 3l were not present at the time the roll was called, and of the 3l, the board believes that quite a number will show up during the day so that they may be included in the contin- gent of 4O per cent which is to en- train this evening. Practically all of the alternates were present, and from their ranks, any gap which may exist at the hour of entrainment can be filled.
 It was an enthusiastic bunch of young Americans which appeared at the district court room yesterday evening at o'clock. All the men seemed in high spirits, and happy at the prospect of the long trip which is before them. The boys were called to order by Harry Heap, member of the board and the roll was then call ed. Mir Heap gave the lads few in structions as to what was expected of them between that hour and the time set for departure Many of the boys had relatives and friends in Prescott and wished to spend their last night in the city with them, and others who had no homes in the city, were form ed in squads and taken to the hotel where accommodations had been pre- pared for them.
 The majority of the men attended the big program given in their honor at the Elks' theatre and then went tc the Odd Fellows hall, where the re- mainder of the evening was spent in dancing. They are 10 report to the board at : o'clock this evening, and will have their time to themselves un- il that hour.
 Practically the same arrangements as were in effect at the time of the departure of the second contingent will be carried out this evening as re- gards the entrainmcnt. Five Pull mans have been provided for the use of the men on the trip, and the train will be run out of Prescott as the first section of the northbound passenger train which leaves here at II 30 D. m. At Ash Fork the car with the King man men will be hooked on the train and a special will make the trip all the way to Fort Riley, picking up ad- ditional cars at Flagstaff, Winslow and Holbrook.
 Owing to the fact that the greater part of the work Of the exemption board is over, the board expects to vacate its present quarters in the Elks' lodge room, and move into one of the rooms on the second floor oi the same building, set apart for the use of the attaches of the Federal court when that tribunal is in session
 The full and complete list of the men who will form the third contin- gent to leave this county will appear in this paper tomorrow morning.

BIG HOSPITAL AT PHOENIX
 GUTTED BY FLAMES
(From Saturdays Da;ly.)

The hospital operated by the Cath olic Sisters at Phoenix was partially destroyed by fire of unknown origin yesterday afternoon at o'clock. The hospital was completely filled with patients and that no lives were lost during the fire is considered remark able.
 The main part of the big structure at Polk and Fourth streets was att talked by the fire and completely ruined, the roof being totally de- stroyed. The annex was saved through the efforts of the fremen. The boys from the High school, block or two away, did some mighty good work in carrying out the bed-fast patients, and it was largely due to their efforts that no fatalities oc- cured.
 The hospital was one of the largest institutions of its kind in the State, and its wrecking will be deplored by all who were familiar with the good work which was carried on there. Mrs. p. ]. Farley, of Prescott, was one of the first persons to be notified of the fire.
