CoNFLAGRATIoNs OF THE PAST WEEK.-
The past week has been fraught with most
disastrous fires in different portions of the
State, three very destructive confagrations
having occurred in as many different looali-
ties. BY an extract in yesterday mornings
Inquirer, taken from o Mountain .nessen-
ger Extra, we learn that the town of st.
Louis in Sierra county, was destroyed on
Saturday. Says the Extra:
About half past four o'clock small cab
in contiguous to Gallaton & Co stable took
fire, and in less than one hour not a single
house remained The Hook and Ladder Co.
of the town was brought into requisition,
and every means used to prevent the spread
of the flames, but without effect. A high
wind was prevailing at the time, and the
rapidity with which the flames spread was
perfectly astonishing. We are glad to learn
that no accident occurred. The losses are
very heavy. Among the principal losers
are Babb & Burbank Of the Eagle, NJ, l..
Hefron of the North Star, Fuller & Brother
and Everts, Wilson & Co. The latter saved
their books and the contents of their safe
The total loss is in the vicinity of from $780,
600 to $1,000 600. Amid the excitement of
the moment it was impossible to learn the
extent Of the loss of the merchants, bit il
must have been very great. The pumps
an wells throughout the town were una
valnble in an incredible short space of time,
owing to the heat of the flames"
On Friday the Winchester Saw Mill at
Grass Valley was burned. Total loss $780,
900.
On Monday week, fire broke out in Ell
sazer's Brewery in Shasta, the result of
which was the destruction of some $4,000
worth of property. Theperiodical fires have
set in with a vengeance.
