THE SUMPTER MINER. Wednesday, January 3, 1900 BACHE'S BRICK BLOCK Most Imposing and Substantial in the Town. The Hache ll.1rdw.1re company's brick building on Mill street Is about finished. It Is decidedly the handsomest business blocl In camp, and would be a credit to any town. Though It has a frontage of only twenty-live feet, It Is In every re spect a metropolitan appearing structure. It covers the entire length of the lot, 100 led; has a sixteen-foot ceiling in the first story and twelve feet In the second. There is nothing showyabout the front, hut there is an unmistakable air of sub stantial solidity about it, that Is materially enhanced by the large plate glass window lights, Each of the front windows have sashes 126 by 156 Inches insle, the lower light being H4 by e indies, with two above, each being 42 by 60. 'I he side window sashes, between the door and Iront windows, set at an obtuse angle, are .jH by 156 inches in sic, divided Into two lights, the lower one being and the upper one (to Inches in length. I he entire lirst lloor Is In one store loom, in t lit- tear of which, half way to the celling Is a twelve-loot wide gallery Irom wall to wall. This will have a Iront i-utltelv of glass and will be used as an oilier. It will be two or three weeks he forelhe store will be occupied, as It will require about that time to make the fix tures, mnsistlng very largely of drawers, as well as shelving, such being necessary In the hardware trade. HiL-seioud story will be readied by a stairway yet to be instructed, on the In sJe ol the adjoining wooden building, now and in Inline to be occupied by the I lardware company. I he telephone alike will be moved to one of the trout utlkes, and the others will be for rent. I his building mst about $1 1,000. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
