GRAIN ELEVATORS
MYSTER|OUSLY BURN
Two at Minneapolis Destroyed
Loss $3,OOO,OOO---Bridge
Is Threatened

Minneapolis, Minn., April 10--Origin
of mysterious fires which destroyed two
large grain elevators here last night,
and another which threatened the
bridge across the Mississippi river at
Fort Smelling is puzzling authorities
today.
Guardsmen on duty at elevators near
those burned said they heard shots in
the vicinity of the buildings. No guards
had been stationed at the burned struc-
lures. The loss was estimated at 3d.
600 600.
The first fire was discovered in the
middle OF the old wooden bridge across
the river at Fort Smelling by guards
men. Troops at the post, called out by
firing of the cannon, extinguished the
fire. The blaze, which started in the
darkest part of the bridge, was declared
/ to have been of incendiary origin by
Patrolman Tuohy, among the first on
the scene.
Officers at Fort Smelling, however
said it might have been caused by drop,
ping of lighted cigarette.
Fire was discovered in the Marfield
Grain company elevator at 2 a. m. and
in short time the structure with a ca
paeity of one million bushels and near
ly filled with wheat, was in ruins.
Shortly before II a. m. fire was dis
covered in elevator d of the Quinn
Shepherdson company. Svenety thou.
sand bushels Of grain were destroyed.
While this fire was raging a watch
man at another elevator 200 yards
away, twice discovered fires apparently
of incendiary origin in his building.

LONE STAR CON.
TO START WORK
PLANS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT
ARE TO BE ANNOUNCED
SOON

Plans will be announced in the
velopment work on the property of
the Lone Star Consolidated Mining
company, and it is reported that the
system of work to be undertaken
will be on a broader scale than has
ever been attempted on this property.
The position of the company has been
materially strengthened by the cleo
tion of the new board and by the
elimination of the faction whose ac-
tivities are regarded as having been
inimical to the best interests of the
company.
At the recent meeting of stock
large majority of the stock was rep
resented and the new board was
elected without opposition. Anoth-
er widely advertised meeting was
called in Goldfield on the same day,
by the defeated faction, but it is
said that this meeting had no legal
authority and not one of the direc-
tors was present, nor was anyone
representing the company's interests.
Word has been received here from
n. H. Wheeler, president and prin
cipal stockholder of the company,
stating that he will arrive in Gold
field shortly for the purpose of ar
ranging for the beginning of devel-
opment work at an early day. Tom
w Kendall of Goldfield, one of the
most widely known and successful
mining men of this region, has been
elected a director of the Lone Star
company and is now the company's
resident agent. He is familiar with
the property and the new directorate
will have the advantage of his advice
and personal direction in starting it's
new operations.
The new directorate has the conf
dence of mining men here and of
investors in the east, and with work
again in progress. literally financed
and under the personal supervision
of Mr. Kendall, the Lone Star will
again assume a position of import
ance among the mining enterprises
Ct the Goldfield district
