Coeur d'Alene Eagle: Hitherto
Helena, Montana, has enjoyed almost
Il monopoly of the Occur 'Alene trade,
but by advices from Oregon we learn
that the merchants of the Oregon me-
tropolis propose to make an organized
effort to wrest it from the east by
drumming the camp, and by quitting
up the funds to help build a wagon
road from the Mission to Eagle. 1t
is Portland's s own fault if it has lost
our trade. Montana men and Montana
money have taken an interest in de-
veloping our camp. in which there is
far less risk than in any other pursuit.
Central City, Colo, Special: The most
destructive mountain fire in the history of
this country broke out yesterday, near the
Wide Awake mining camp, about six
miles north of this place. This morning
early heavy wind arose, which rapidly
spread the fire, and tonight tits estimated
that forty miles of country has been burn
ed over, every thing in that territory being
consumed. The flames spread with such
rapidity that no effort was made to check
them. The larger part of the country
burned over was covered with thick
growth of pine timber, which made the
heat for miles around very inteuse. Men
in the mines on the mountain
side were compelled to flee for their lives
and leave their property to the flames.
The outbuildings of several of the best
mines in the district were burned, causing
a heavy loss. 1t is now feared that II
flames will spread into the little town #
Wide Awake. If it does, every building
there will be wiped out of existence.
