Gunnison, Col, says that for two or three
days the mountains in this vicinity have
been ablaze of burning timber. The
fire was discovered Friday afternoon last
at the head of Lost Gulch. To the north of
the gulch the fire was seen raging along
the top of a well-timbered mountain. The
air was filled with dense black smoke,
and on the following morning the sun rose
through it, looking like rCby-settiDg in a
dark sky.
Yesterday afternoon the smoke was again
seen rising from the Marshall Pass district
and later it was learned from passengers
on the west bound train that the timber
was afre below Shoano. 1t supposedly
started from the spark of a passing loco
motive.
