HANNA NOTES

During q terrific wind storm Fri,
day afternoon, the tipple of Number
Two Mine caught fire. and within
half an hour. the tipple boiler house
and electric warehouse were burned
to the ground. The cause Of the fire
Is not definitely known, n theory
Is that 1t was started by sparks from
q passing engine. another hat the
hoist rope jumped from the wheel on
the tipple and the rubbing against
the wood caused spontaneous COM
bustion. Nearly everv man In town
ON the.sNn&sWithinf Q very few
minutes, and 1frTfotghr hard 10 keep
the fire down, but the wind was 50
Strong. that their efforts were al
most useless. but BY keeping the va
ter playing constantly on the lower
End OF the tipple. they managed to
keep the slope from catching fire.
There was q trip on the slope, and
when the cable burned the cars went
crashing down into the mine. but de-
rallied and stopped before they
reached the motors, and no material
damage was done. The loss Is esti-
mated at between n hundred and
twenty and one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. For q while it was
feared that the fire would leap across
the tracks, and the houses near the
track were kept wet until the fire
was out.
Mr.. Brooks and MT. Pryde came
down from Rock Springs on the first
train they could taxa, and after 60
ing over the ground, made plans at
once to rebuild the tipple and other
buildings.
