SWEPT BY FLAMES
Twenty-Five Acres of the Pens
Burned and Thousands OF
the Cattle Killed.
MAY HAVE BEEN SET ON FIRE
Detectives and Officials Seeking War
Plot Evidence, But So Far Moth
ing Has Been Found.

Kansas City, Oct. 17.-Approximate-
ly twenty-five acres of pens, about one
eighth of the area of the stock yards,
was destroyed by fire, probably incen-
diary, early yesterday,
Lieut.. b. J.. Bishoff of No. 16 En-
CINE Company, the first mar to arrive
on the scene, said he saw a fire in
the southwest part of the yards, in
the northwest, and also in the center
of the pens, burning simultaneously.
j. E. Marvins fire warden, and w.
H. Gardner, secretary to the warden,
are conducting an Investigation. They
believe that the pens were set on fire.
Plants Filling Army Contracts.
The first thought that came to the
investigators was that the supposed
incendiarisn was a war plot. A big
fire in the stock yards that would
cause big loa' and tie up the packing
plants which are filling government
contracts, would be a tremendous
blow for the anti-Americans.
J. B. Dill. secretary Of the Kansas
side fire department, insisted Che fire
was of incendiary origin. Represents
tives of a private detective agency
were at work before the fire was over.
However, no evidence at all has
heen uncovered that would show a
connection between the fire and a war

Cattle and Hog Losses.
The double deck hog house, the APP
proach to the stock yaHds bridge over
the Kaw River, eight scales and two
hay houses with cattle Variously esti-
mated at from two thousand to ten
thousand. were destroyed Tin the flames.
1t is estimated that 800 hogs
persisted.
Although George r. ColEett, general
manager of the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company, asserts that not more
than two thousand or three thousand
head of cattle we're burned, the heavy
individual losers place the figure
greatly in excess of that number.
The packers estimate that they lost
through burning about 1900 head and
Clay, Robinson & Co. said its losses
will aggregate about nine hundred.
Mr.. Collett bases his statement in the
belief that many of the cattle suppos-
eddy burned simply stampeded and are
scattered throughout the West Bot
toms.
Mr.. Collett said that in his opinion
about twenty-five to thirty acres Of
pens were burned, entailing an esti-
mated loss OF from 100000 to $17G,-
900.
The sweep of the fire was principal
" through the spectators division,
the new concrete hog house being
about the only building Of conse
quence that was saved. Reports Of
estimates on the number of cattle lost
vary widely.
The cattle rushed madly in an effort
to escape the flames and thousands of
them are now running at large
throughout the West Bottoms and in
the vicinity of Turkey Creek. 1t was
estimated that there were about thir-
ty-fiye thousand cattle in the yards
when the fire broke out.
All the Cattle Insured.
All the cattle were fully insured
stock yards officials said today.
The fire is supposed to have started
in the pens of MaxwelLStewart &
Company, spectators, at a point be
tween Twelfth and Fourteenth streets
Just west of Genesee Street.
Business at Yards Goes On.
Long before the last s%moldering em
bers of the fire which partly destroy
ed the stock yards had died, the woTl
of clearing away the debris prepare
tory to the immediate rebuilding o
the burned pens was begun.
Business was resumed Immediately
although under very unsatisfactory.

M|NERALlED BELT
 JEROME ID PHOENIX
(By F. w. BoWler)


 The permanency of the big ore bod es of the Yavapai schist in this great "Jerome to Phoenix" minerailZed belt, has been thoroughly proven by the discovery of high grade ore at the Arizona; Binghamton and Copper Queen mines, east of this town i've miles; at the Blue Bell and DeSoto mines southwest, and at the Butter nut and Henrietta mines northwest, all covered in a radius of seven miles around Mayer.
 The Arizona Binghamton company has completed a very successful months run in the new Notation mill at the mine, having averaged close to 200 tons daily.
 The Copper Queen company, which is owned by Texas stockholders prin- cipally, is developing large ore bodies on several levels and is preparing for the erection of a Notation mill at the mine. The lower workings at the 300 foot level in the winZe and shaft at adits and 2, have been unwatered and extensive exploration of old work ings is in progress.
 The Blue Bell mine, owned and op- erated by the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company, has just completed sinking the main shaft from the 1000 foot 10 the 1900 foot level and drifting will soon begin to locate the big ore shoot which is 40 feet wide on the 1000 foot level. The management eX- poets to find more high grade ore on the 1900 Considerable copper glance has appeared at the 900 foot level. The finding of the ore bodies again at the 200 foot level in this mine will mean much to the further develop ment of this camp.
 Now that the Big Ledge Copper company has made public the real con- dition of things at the two mines, the Butternut and Henrietta, the public has learned for the first time just how large the ore bodies are in both prop critics. At the 200 foot level in the Butternut, the main ore body is 30 feet wide, all of which can be stoped and milled. It is an ideal flotation ore The size of this ore body at the shallow depth of 200 feet is a surprise to mining men
 During the past few weeks, several well known mining engineers have ex- amined this property and they pro nounce the ore body to be a rival of the biggest low grades in the state. Should they increase in size and value with depth as the Blue Bell Bingham ton, Copper Queen and other mines in the camp have done, it will un- doubtedly become the largest body of orc in the state.

 IN PHOENIX AND NOW
 |S VETERINARIAN

After an absence from his home town Of about six years, J. C. McGrath has returned to Phoenix with the title of doctor The man who for years before he entered the San Francisco Veteri- nary College was one of the best known hOrsemen in this section, is now veterinary surgeon with an enviable record gained through practice both in California and in Idaho. He expects to engage in practice here, and more than that, to open in the near future a mod equipped and absolutely sanitary veterinary hospital for the treatment of all the ills of the animal world.
 Years ago, before Dr. McGrath canned his title and his spurs as d vet erinarian he conducted the Pioneer Stables in this city, He was also fore man of tfe Ma nistee ranch near Glen dale. Throughout the valley he was a recognized authority on stock, especial ly horses. He then decided that he was adapted t. the calling of veterinarian, and six years ago he left Phoenix to enter the San Francisco Veterinary College
 Upon araduation Dr. McGrath went to M3rysville. Cal, where he practiced in order to secure a California license Then he removed to Salmon City, Ida ho, where he soon became one of the most successful practitioners in that section Having won recognition there and demonstrated to his own satisfac- tion that he possessed the required ability to rank with the first in his profession, he decided to return to his home town
 He is undecided whether to accent an offer to form a partnership with well-Rnown veterinarian already estab- lIshed here, or to engage in practice alone and incidentally to establish and conduct his hospital single handed He has received flattering partnership offer which he may accept In any event, Phoenix has one more veterinar- ian and a good one
