The most important mining; deal ever pulled off in Wullowa county has been completed by K. 1), McCully, w.ho has just returned from Denver, where he was successful in negotiat ing the bonding of the Don Curios mine to a group of Colorado capital ists. . s- Tho Don Carlos, for merly owned by Ralph (Jumbo) l.apham, is one of the richest lend and zinc mines in the United tates and lies about five miles southwest of Joseph on Hurricane i creek. The de.al is of great importance to the mining industry of this .part of the state, for it mean that the prop erty will be handled and developed by experienced mining men upon a busi ness basis. The new owners are not promoters, but are actual mining men who have extensive proportion in Colorado and thoroughly under stand the business in which they are engaged. They have faith in thu new undertaking and will push it as rap idly as possible. V The Don Carlos mine gives unusual promise of becoming one of the big gest producers of its kind in the en tire country. The showing that has been made thus far has warranted the expenditure of a large amount of money on the property and the new owners are confident that they, have one of the bast mines that could be obtained. They are not speculators, but are putting their own money into the deal and cr counting on hand some returns on the investment. The war has caused the price of metals to soar to unusual heights, and lead and zinc are among those to go sky-rocketing. There is a strong de mand for such matals and the new owners believe they have an invest ment that will bring them big returns. Active work will begin on the Don Carlos about July 1st. A Fire Scare. Saturday night Joe Hambelton'g fine new residence on Barton Height3 narrowly escaped destruction by tire. Joe was at his garage and when Mrs. Hambelton and children returned home about midnight from the dunce they discovered the house on fire. The alarm was given and a crowd of " men quickly gathered and extinguishad the flames, but not before considerable damage was done. It is thought the fire originated by hot ashes falling through a crack in the stove. About 7 o'clock last evening fire again broke out in the same house and it required the hardest kind of work this time to save the building. There is no doubt that fire had been smould ering ever since Saturday night be tween the floors or walls, where no air could reach it. City Manager's Report.
