BISMARCK, Oct. 6.-Prarie fires are doing
considerable damage and creating much alarm
iii Dakota, but so far no buildings have been
destroyed. The woods along the Missouri
river are on fire and the town of Mandara was
only saved by the activity of the citizens.
The country between Bismarck and Fargo is
burned over thoroughly. Four miles of ties
and a.bridge at Crystal Springs were destryed.
Trains have been badly delayed. The tele-
graph operator at Deadwood reports the
woods all on fire thereabouts, and several saw
mills are reported burned OF in great danger.
The Inhabitants are busy using means of pro-
lection, telling trees, etc.
NEW YORK, Oct. Tine Tribune has the
following editorial points concerning the in
tentlon of the Mexican Government to as
sumo control of the silver deposit at Magada
or Dewey Mountains, which seems to confirm
the reports that rich mineral district has
| been discovered there, producing ore that
yields 800 ounces Of silver to the ton ssThe
contemplated scheme may also be connected
with the fear expressed by Mexican journals
that a rush to the mines from Texas will Gre
| ate spirit OF territorial annexation, as the
district is within 200 miles Of the frontier,
Some Texan may desire to see it and the en-
tire territory added to his State, but if they
| acquire protection and comfort under the
Mexican flag they are not likely to abandon
mining in order to engage i'll tilibustering
schemes. If, however, the deposits are as
rich as reported, people from this and other
countries will not he deferred by Mexican
msgivings from working them.''
