THREATENED WITH DESTRUCTION

Ten Acres OF Ground burned Over mt
Black Pine.
Special to the Standard.
P~HILIPsBURG, Aug. 1.-What for "a time
looked like another disastrous fire, SINH
lar TO hat OF last year, occurred ut Black
Pine to-day. Through the carelessness OF
the charcoal burners who are located
about half q mile above the mill of the
Combination company, the dead brush
aroun b o pits caught fire, and as
the ground was covered with dead timber
and tree tops resulting from chopping
cord wood and wood for charcoal, IL
made n fierce fire and was soon beyond
control of the charcoal men. The wind
was blowing q gale toward the mill and
il looked for n time as IL the Combina-
ton company's mill and property would
certainly be destroyed.
Superintendent Akers. upon being noti-
fled, closed the mill and mine at once
and put the entire force fighting fire and
by their united efforts the fire was. at q d.
M, under control. A force Of 10 men are
out tonight to watch but no further
trouble OF a serious nature Is anticipated
as the fire IL practically ex~tiDguished. al
though IL will be necessary to keep "a close
lookout for b next few days.
An area of about 10 acres was burned
ovei but luckily little timber Of value was
destroyed. The Combination company
loses nothing except the time OF the men
in fighting the fire, but the charcoal con-
tractor. Fred Dyer, loses about 5000 bush.

was IA very lucky escape and, had not a

would have been the commencement OF
another large forest fire. The extent and

The Great Western mine is
making a noble record this year.
the output so far this season
being nearly 10000 tons greater
than that of any entire year in
its history. The shipment of
1882 was 5S7 tons: 1888, %, 1925.
1884, 20,7l0; 1886, %, 267; 1887,
%. 239; 1888, 81, $50; 1889. 80,
454; the shipment of 1890 is
$4,000 tons. Among the other
mines that have already caught
up with the output of last year is
the Monitor, which is now even
with 1899. The Paint River is
about 5000 tons ahead and will
double its 80 output, The Shat
er mine is doing great work and
has already sent out 80, 900 tons,
against ii, 900 last year. All of
the mines are far in advance with
the exception of the Dunn, which
has held back waiting for its new
machinery, only just now in
place. 1t was intended to have
it ready for use in May but many
provoking and costly delays have
occurred. From now on the
Dunn will do its utmost, and,
though ii cannot attain the esti-
mated output, it will make big
showing.
1t is reported that the Night
Hawk mine is to be sold to An
gus Smith and other Milwaukee
capitalists. The property is on the
north west quarter of the north
west quarter of section eighteen,
42-33, the forty east Of the Mas
