DETROIT, May 9. Reports from Mar
quette, Mich, say forest fires are burning
all over the copper country. AT Chassell
several farmhouses and barns went up in
smoke and the bridge was consumed.
At Sturgeon river, the Thomas Neston
estate and Diamond Watch company lose
heavily. Lake Superior from Marquette
to Keweenaw point is fairly black with
smoke and all the fog whistles are kept
blowing constantly. The loss will be very
heavy.
At Tawas on the east shore for two DAYS
past the air has been thick with smoke
from the immense forest fires raging in the
woods back OF the town and which extend
clear to the county line. Ishpeningis sur
rounded by fire, but there is no danger to
the town. Telegraph poles and railroad
ties are being destroyed, and communica-
ton is likely to be cut off at any time.
Nothing but a drenching rain of two days'
duration can prevent tremendous dam
age.
Fire is raging in the upper central coun-
ties of the lower peninsula to-day, the like
of which has never been known. The line
of flames reaches almost without brerk,
from Mason county, on Lake Mich
igan to Iosco county on Lakes Huron,
with the forest of Lake, Osceola
Clare, Gladwin, Ogemaw and Altoona all
ablaze Another fire of scarcely less mag
nitude exists in the upper peninsula in the
line of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railroad through Marquette Houghton.
Baraga and Entanagon counties are IN the
path of flames, Two railroad bridges are
already gone and the telegraph lines
are in bad shape. Fears are enter
tanned that the fire will rea ~,
some towns. Last night the flames swept
into Osceola and burned out 5000 600 worth
of property. Great apprehension is felt at
Au Sable. An appeal for help has been
sent to Alphena. 1t is feared the city will
be swept away if the wind shifts. Add
tional reports coming in show widespread
district is devastated.
