GREAT FALLS, Sept. 2-ISpecisl to the
Independent. News has just been re-
ceived that Barker was almost totally de
Stroyed by FIRE yesterday. The fire started
IN miners camp three doors below Zeig-
ler's house, and swept from there up the
valley, burning all the eastern portion OF
the camp. It is supposed that Ellis, his
wife, aud four children lost their lives.
There are also three men missing. Mr..
Weibles lost seventy toos OF hay, farm
tools and everything but his household
goods. The town Of Barker, which has
suffered so severely by this IRE, is the busi-
ness center OF the entire Barker mining
mining district IL is about sixty miles
southeast Of Great Falls The mineral de-
poSits are on both the east and west sides
OF the camp. On the west are such mines
as the Pride Of the West. Silver
Belt and Silver King. Considerable
work has been done on the Pride OF the
West mine. On The northeast side OF the
camp is another group Of silver mines,
which includes the May and Edna, the
Anna May and the Belt Of HlghwOOd. In
the Central portion Of Barker are the old
est claims. Among these are the Barker,
Grey Eagle and Wright and Edwards,
which have all been large ore producers.
The burned portion OF the camp was on
the east side OF the creek. Here most Of the
business was done, the stores containing
miners supplies, hardware. dry goods and
liquors. The prospects Of the camp are
good and the houses will no doubt soon be
rebuilt
