Small Insurance on Buildings A Fire broke out this Friday evening at 9:45 in the store of E. Papkin, known as the New York store in the old Wqodhouse building North of the Commercial Club, Post Office and Barton Brother's building on Main street. When the fire was discovered, clouds of smoke was rolling out from under the eaves of the building and over the windows and doors. The store bad been kept open until 9.00 p. m. and the proprietor had left half an hour before the alarm was given. The origin of the fire is unknown but it started toward the rear of the store judging by the amount of smoke coming out near the back of the building. It took about 10 minutes to get the city hose in action as no one seemed to know anything about opening the hydrants; by the time the water was turned into the hose, the building and contents were doomed and attention was turned to safe guarding the adjoining buildings. The hose crew were stationed on the roof of the cottage between the telephone exchange and the fire and. the roofs were preventing the further spread of the flames. Mr. Papkins' stock was valued at $3,500 and carried insurance of $2,700. The building belonged to Mrs. Sophia Woodhouse and carried some insurance. The extreme quietness of the evening was a great aid in saving surrounding property, for if there had been the slightest wind the property loss might have gone to $60,000 kept.-saturate- County Board De- Steady Progress clares Unit Dry Being Made Here Dry Have Majority of 122 Active Development Work in County Outside In Going Forward on all Gold corporated Towns Properties of Camp The county commissioners met at noon Tuesday to canvas the returns on the recent liquor election in the county unit. 359 votes were cast and are distri buted as follows: Beaver precinct, wet 18 dry 84 " 12 " 53 Greenville " " " Adamsville 9 " 31 " " 13 " 30 Minersville There is no ringing of be1 Is or blare of trumpets to signify the amount of work which is being done in the east Beaver gold fields; rather is every concern speeding on its course with a quiet dignity, born oi the knowl edge of coming greatness. On each side of the valley develo-mework is going steadily forward, and every foot of work is showing stronger mineralization, widening ore bodies and increasing values.. Extraction of high grade and milling ore, wth a good force of men at work, is going on at the Sheep Rock. The high grade, streak is from 6 inches to 15 inches wide and carries from $500.00 to $5,000.00 per ton in gold and silver. The milling ore is about 15 feet wide and averages about $18 per ton. At the Beaver Gold about a mile north of the Sheep Rock, s'nktngon the shaft has been resumed, and there will, be no let up until the 30O foot level is reached. This property has good values air the way down and when the objective point is reached in the shaft, stoping out the ore will be begun It is understood that a snip-meof ore is being prepared at the Rob Roy and some work is going on at the Busy Bee and at the Beaver Butte. On the west side of the valley prospecting and dev elop ment work is going forward at a good clip with every indication of shipments being started from there in the very hear future. At the Gold Queen where sensational values were struck last week, an ore body four and a half feet wide and of a good shipping grade, has been developed for a considerable distance, and it is expected to begin regular shipping from there about August 1st. The Fortuna Gold, Lumry & Moore, Four Mile, Vandal?, Agra and others are developing ore of shipping grade. We should worry!
