for the past week has subsidized for the
lack of conbustible material upon
which to feed. 1t is still following
down the canyon toward Mill Station
at the south end of Washoe Valley,
but can do no fu tier damage there
than destroying the brush and rub
bish left by the woodmen, as the tim
Der has been cut and the wood hauled
away. 1t seems that the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Company lost but a
few cords of wood, but a F~renchman
lost over 400 cords of limb wood and
some valuable timber. Beyond the
summit the fire swept along close to
a vast pile of wood belonging to II.
NJ. Geriugton n Co., and which is
valued at $4,000, but the wind COM
ing from the west beat it back, or
northward, where it truck a heavy
forest of green timber and subsidized,
doing little or no damage to the forest.

sixty or seventy men from ashOe

Non tO put out the fire approaching
their farms by thatroute, and presume
their efforts were successful, as no
smoke could be seen in the canyon
Yesterday. 1t is now believed that the
damage caused by the co~ntlagration
Will not exceed 5000.
