LOSS A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS Hfnrlx from nn 'OvoHnrncil Pot n ! Jtloulten Slnit Four Hundred .Men Thrown Out of Km- iivnt. DEADWOOD , S. D. , March 10. ( Special Telegram. ) The large smelting plant ot the Ilcadwoo.d & Delaware company , a mile cast of this city , was totally destroyed by fire nt 3 o'clock this morning. As far as Is known the fire originated on the first floor from an overturned pot of molten sla ? . Tne build ings were constructed principally of wood , wcro very dry and burned fiercely. The fire was outsldo the limits of the city water mains and the company's fire pumps were rendered useless by the red hot slag which upset over them. Only a bucket brigade with water from the creek furnished water. The assay and cnemlcal rooms and general ofllct were saved. Flvo cars loaded with supplies on thd Burlington track were destroyed. Carpenter , general manager of the com' imny , thinks the works will bo rebuilt. II Is a question whcro , whether In Dead wood 01 some other point better adapted to the works The flro Is a calamity to several mines neai here which will bo Compelled temporarllj to clcso down. Four hundred men are throwr out of employment. The loss of the worki li estimated to bo $230,000 , with $100,001 insurance. So rapid was the spread of the flames tha many of the men employed about the plan were compelled to fly for their lives , semi of them narrowly escaping dc.-rth. Althougl the plant was thoroughly equipped to flgh five the early communication with cue en glno room rendered the powerful pumps o no use whatever. The Deadwood & Delaware smelter was om of the largest pyrltlc smelting plants In tin world , handling on nn average tiOO tons o siliceous gold ores dally and employing fron 350 to 500 men on every shift , so Ita do structlcii means the loss of conslderablo rev cnuo to the people of Deadwood and until rebuilt' will compel th Hcndlni ; to Omaha , Denver , Kansas Clt ; r.ml other eastern cities for treatment of th greater part of the rebellious oroa of th northern Black Hills.

Ing ciinp ot Eldora Is the new Uldoradc toward which people are hurrying by the hundreds , the number rapidly swelling te thousands. Years ago It was known that good values In gold could be secured fron the ores of this locality , but the minors o Colorado were not looking for gold then. Jus across the hill was the Caribou mine , will Its wonderful record of $6,000,000 , and thi early prospectors about the head ot Mlddli Boulder and Jenny creeks were anlmatce solely by the hope that they might strlki another Caribou. In 1889 , J. A. Ollnilan , a mining engineer who has been familiar with every mlnlnj camp In Colorado , went to Eldora to exam tno a claim for a friend who contemplate Us purchase. Ho spent two months ) exam Inlng the formation , and finally located i claim for himself , the second ono located litho the district. Nothing was done on the clnln for four years 01 more , when Mr. dllflllai returned , built himself a cabin , the first 01 the present town site , and became the oldcs permanent settler. While for a year paa there has been a steady Influx of population It lij only within the past few months tha there has been anything llko a rush Int the new camp. Eight coaches are r ow run n ! g regularly from Boulder cocaect'ng will rains from Denver , and every coach I oadcd to Its full capacity , whllo the liver stables of Boulder have boon taxed to thcl linlt to provide private conveyances. Ko he pest thirty dajs the arrivals have aver aged twenty a day. The result of this I hat the camp now ha * 1,200 to 1,300 Inhabl znts. There are about 200 houses and forte : o fifty more In course of cuistrtictlon , wit new ones being started every day , and th Icmand for room never satisfied. Four eaw mills are In operation and arc unable to sat sty the demand for lumber. Up to elate the number of locations lr th llstrlct Is about COO. Prospectors are declel dly active nnd neither high wind nor anoi can keep them from the mountains. The ores of the district present some pe cullar characteristics. A. I. . . Tomblln , wh las been engaged In assaying there for so\ oral months past , says ho hns found thlrtee or fourteen kinds of rock , all of which carr ? oed values In gold. The most remarkabl leaturc , however. Is the mixture of tcllurlui and sulphides In nearly every vein lu tli district. Some rich tellurium orce ai thickly sprinkled with sulphides of Iron an copper , while solid veins , apparently all su phldc , are found to bo full of particles t : clurlum. !

It Is tt opinion of every experienced miner who ht been on the ground that for the amount e development done It Is the best camp sine : ho days ot the carbonate excitement 1 Loadvlllc. A railroad Is already on Its way to tl new camp and will bo completed before wlr tor. The Colorado & Northwestern , whlc began construct'oa in December fro1 Doulder to Ward . .n-i other camps In th. neighborhood , has surveyeirs In the field an a branch will bo built to the new camp i once. Eldora , contrary to precedent , Is ono < the quietest towns In the state. There not a dance hall in the town , nor will thei bo one. The miner and the business ma for once got ahead of the boomer and tl tin-horn gambler and the camp had estal llshed its permanency and settled down i business before the floating citizen ocean aware of , ,118 existence. Several attemp have been made to open dance houses , bi they have been promptly suppressed. Tl pioneers ot the town arc not hide-bound e the question of mining camp morality , bi they know the limit and have determine to draw the line on this form of vice at save trouble In the future. The result Is th there Is no quieter town In the state. LOOK VOll A COLOIt.VUO MOD IS I'omnlePlKiiri * ( o HP iMnili-lcil tor Place on ( lie Stiitu Cnpltul. DENVER. March 10.

( Spccla telegram. ) The Wyoming supreme court to day decided that State Treasurer Otte 3ramm and sureties were not rcsponslbli for the $45,000 state funds lost by Clratnn whllo state treasurer by the failure of thi Kent bank , this city , In 1S93. Justice Corn democrat , dissented. The suit was brought some time ago b ; .ho state , the allegations to support the aul jclng , In substance , that Otto Oramm wa elected state treasurer In 1890 tor a term o : our years ; that In July , 1893 , ho gave i bond conditioned that ho should truly am ludtly account for all moneys coming Int ils hands , and should faithfully perform th duties of his ofllce ; that during his term o olHco ho received about $45,000 , and that h failed to pay the same to his successor 1 odlce. Gramm's sureties were Henry G Ualch , David C. Ilacon , William C , Wilson | r. , Francis E. Warren and Thomas A. Kent Thomas A. Kwit was a banker ot Chcyonn In whcGo bank Qramm made deposits estate state funds during his ofllclal term as treas utcr. On July 20 , 1893 , during the panic Kent suddenly failed anil state funds to th amount ot $45,000 were at that tlmo on du posit In the bank. This money has not boo refunded to the state and for this sum out wes brought. The defendants alleged In thol answer that the Insolvency ot the Kent ban ! was wholly unknown to any of them or t the community In which Kent carried o : business , until the assignment was made In the reply by the state the lack ot negll Kcnco or fault on the part of dranim wa omitted. The case went through the dlstrlc court and on an appeal to the cuproui court. OPINION DY POTTER. The opinion of the majority of the cour was rendered by Chief Justice Potter. 1 commenced with an extensive review of th various authorities , some holding bonds slm liar to the one In suit to be absolute , an others to the contrary. It was then said tha It did not become necessary In the prcsen null to decide which line of authority shoul bo followed In Wyoming , although a stroll Intimation was given that those holding th treasurer not ) to bo the Insurer of the fund contained the better reasoning. The prcoen case , the chief justice said , must bo deter mined upon the precise language of the bon given. The statute required the treasurer t keep the funds , not to "safely keep. " Th law would not Imply that the statute mean "safely keep , " and would not hold the treau urer to be an Insurer of the funds. Many e the cases cited by counsel for the state con talncd the worda "safely keep , " and none wcro not In point. Theie was nothing In th statute or In the bond which made the llo blllty of the treasurer any greater than I was at common law. At common law ho wa held to the diligence and care which a pru dent business man would exercise. In his ow affairs. In the cape at the bar It was ni milled by the pleadings that the treasure had exercised such care and therefore h could not tbo held , liable. Justice Corn dissented. Ho hold that tli bonel of the treasurer created a contract b < tween himself nnd sureties and the atato t which they should bo held to a strict lit blllty ; that an excuse for the loi-s of publl funds unless by the act of God or the pul llo enemy , should not bo allowed , becaus It would bo dangerous to the public Inter cats and contarry to public policy. Of who use , ho sold , Is a bond If the officers ma Immediately turn over the public funds t Bomo other person to use them for his ow purposes ? The bond Is a meaningless fori if It Is not to secure to the atato rcpaymer under such circumstances. Live Stoelc Valuation. CHEYENNE , Wyo. , IMarch 10.
