or FOREST FIREs-fIvE BUILDINGS
DESTROYED - MIRACULOUS
ESCAPE - LOCALS.

The little town OF Amasa, at the Hem
lock mine, was nearly wiped out Of exist
ence by forest fires Thursday afternoon.
Three miners cottages, the company
store and Office and 1000 cords OF wood
were destroyed. Forest fires have ragged in
that vicinity all the week, coming nearer
To the little settlement. Thursday the
wind came strong from the southwest
aud almost before the watching people
were aware OF their danger the flames
was upon them and IL seemed every build

women. taught heroically To save their
homes and the property OF the company.
The sheet Of flames came with a rush
and burned up to IA row OF buildings ON
the west and they seemed doomed but
the fire leaped over them and took into
another row and destroyed three build
ings belonging 20 Italian miners. Next
in the path stood the company's powder
house, but the fire seemed To be creating
disaster enough without il and went over
and all around the store of explosives
but touched it not. Next was the engine
house, shaft house, store and other com
pany buildings Tho engine house is
rooied with sheet iron, which is all that
saved it, that alone was not it's only
saving, but 60 the heroic work OF the
men, guided by Supt. Warner, is due the
fact that the engine house is still there.
The shaft house was also saved by the
same line OF work; but human skill and
engineering could not save the store and
office and il was soon in ashes. From
there the lire got into pile Of two thou
