The forests of the Shawangunk range of mountains
have been In flames during all Of last week. At one
time the entire backbone OF ridges for several miles
seemed almost one continuous pathway Of fire.
Pillars and clouds Of smoke hung over the district
by day. and lurd Of name glared upon the dark
ness Of the night, making the valleys below like
some vast fiery furnace. On Thursday and
Friday the scene was magnificent and appalling.
From present calculations the loss Will. be over
million Of dollars. This estimate includes immense
quantities OF cut wood. ties, ship joints and several
dwellings the hillsdes. One family at Briggsvlle
