Fires in the mountains back Of the city
are spreading and may do serious damage
unless a rain comes to the relief. The
mountains are full of prospectors who
dread such fires and will probably do all
they can to eXtinguish them. Fortunately
there is little timber in the immediate
vicinity of the fire, but it may spread to
the timber not far away, which is very
valuable to the miner. Mountain fires are
ALWAYS to be dreaded in any country and it
is hoped the fire may at least be kept from
spreading Not long ago our city was
smoky for nearly a month, caused by the
extensive fires in Montana which happily
were extinguished by recent rains.
