SANDEN, Portland, Ore. S. L. CO.'S SAW MILL BURNED. Loss Estimated at $7,000, In surance $1,000 About 2olikl yesterday morning A. Thompson, night watchman at the Samp ler Lumber company's sawmill, discovered the plant to be on tire. He turned in the iil.inn.tlir department responded promptly, one hose cart arriving in ten minutes, but no water could be had for twenty minutes, hall hour alter the .il.irm was sounded. Dining that Url.iy the lire made such head way that there was no hope of subduing it, and the mill and dry Kiln wete rntlirly destroyed. That was I'hnmpson's first night on as watchman. A halt hour before the mil' tire bl.ied up, he noticed that some trees to the south weie alire and he tried to put it out, but (ailed, and seeing that it was gaining headway rapidly, he started tor assistanie. As he leached the luither side of the log pond, he saw the blaze in the mill and gave all of his attention to that. It is thought that the tine dust, which always accumulates in such places, was ignited by a spaik. It could possibly have been smouldering for hours before being Idndled into a blaze. The tire orig inated near the saw ftame,some distance Jiway fioni the furnace. There is only fiooo insurance on the property, carried in the Liverpool, London iV Globe, represented here bv Mrs. Mich cock. Manager Stoddard, of the Lumber ' company, estimates the loss 70CO, nod it will be found to be not far from that figure. There was about 40,000 feet of lumber burned, which was In the dry kiln uud piled up near by. One of the Sump- ter Valley box cars standing on a side track was badly damaged on one side. 1 he company's planing mill, 100 yards away, is running uninterruptedly. There is piled up l'i the yards 1,200,000 feet of lumber. Mr. Stoddard says that he has not yet formulated his plans for the future, that he will have to talk with his creditors before reaching any definite decision rela tive to when he will begin to rebuild. Many of the fireman have asked that I HI: MlNI-.R express their thanks to Mrs. I McDevitt and Mrs. White for the coffee they considerately furnished. ' Mining Industry In the Rand. 1 A recent dispatch to the Loudon press from I'retoria furnishes the latest inlorina-1 tion concerning the condition of the Hand mining industiy. It appears that crush-1 ing operations could be resumed at once at 'some of the mines, if it were not for the scaullv of labor. In many of the mines theieairgre.it i)u.'iutilies of water which ' can nit be pumped out in less than three mouths, but. sis has been .inuoiiiurd,all the luachiiierv is in fair I v good condition. The l.i lc ot labor Is eplaiued bv the fact that 11,000 K.-illirs ordinarily employed at the mines, are temporarily engaged in building the Springs, Hand & Vereenigiug railroad, which will be ready for tr.iriic' soon. At tne suggestion 01 colonel uir oward, director of railways, the mine own ers have subscribed large orders lor new rolllni! stock to be delivered next June. It is said tint the Hoers have massed at I Sel ill, hi the neighborhood of Levdsdorp, ' unless than 8000 trucks and 100 locomn j lives, and should these be destroyed the industry of the whole country would be paralyzed until Ihev could be renhced, whU.li could not be effected probably in, less than .1 year and a h.ilf. 1 he con-1 sumption of coal on the Rand alone Is ns.coo tons 'i month, nod nil this has tnj be carried. 1 he present white population ' of the Hand Is estimated at about 10,000,1 at least 00.000 British subjects being ab sent, but eager to return upon the estab lishment of nnv form of civil government. New York Post. Negotiating for the Morning Star. W. H. W. Hamilton returned from Portland Friday, accompanied by David Goodie II. They v. ent out to the Cracker Creek district and examined the Morning Star mine. Mr. Goodsell secured a lot of the rock and returned to Portland. He expressed himself as much pleased with the property, and unless the large first payment stands In the way, the sale will doubtless be consummated. This ledge carries a large per cent of galena, some thing unusual In that district, besides good gold values. Through the Yellowstone The new route via the Oregon Short Line Railroad and Monida, Mont., enables vou to make a delightful trip through the Yellowstone National Park, entering via Monida and coining out via Cinnabar, making it unnecessary to cover any por tion of the route twice.
