SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12-About half
past IL o'clock to-day. fire was dis.
covered in the rear portion # the
North Point Dock bonded warehouse.
situated on the corner of Sansome and
Greenwich streets The employees of
the warehouse We're at dinn, r. and th..
origin of the fire is not known. Before
the engines reached the scene the fire
had made such Roadway that immense
volumes of smoke were bursting from
every door and window of the build
ing, AMI the FIRE had attacked the mer-
chandise stored in the wooden sheds in
the rear Of the building. The ware
house is brick. two stories high, cover
ing one 5O.vara lot, aud filled with val
liable imported goods. comprising
sugars, liquors, wines. glass aud tin
ware, and crockery and chinaware. The
general alarm turned out the entire
fire department. which assembled. and
the tugs Minnehaha and Anasha
steamed up in front Of the ware house
and added their powerful streams. 1t
was at once evident. however, that the
interior of the building was q mass OF
flames. while the sheds in the rear and
the contents were burning 6ercely.
The firemsn attacked the conAsgration
on all sides through the doors and
windows, and from the roof Of Fried
landers warehouse adjoining. but
with little apparent effect Soon after
occ o'clock the roof fell in and
one immense volume Of flames shot
up . hundred feet into the air. At the
present hour, 2:20 P. NJ, the fire is still
raging. The entire upper portion of the
building. with the contents are con-
sumed. and the lower story is nearly all
burned out. with the exception f the
frons part, where there will probably
be some of the contents saved. That
part OF the building is mostly filled
with glass, much of which will prob
ably be badly damaged by the heat.
1t is impossible at present to estimate
the loss, - the warehouse was q favor.

at any time within the last five years,
had less than million dollars worth of
property within Its walls. and there
will be but little salvage. The insur.

mostly among the English and German
Companies. which have taken risks at
low rates. The loss must he very
