driftwood, pieces of boards, timbers, and
any other objects they could lay hands on,
were scores of human beings, their white
and terror stricken countenances, desper-
ate struggles and plaintive, soul piercing
cries for aid all combining to create i'm
pressions in the minds of the beholders
never to be effaced or forgotten. About
one hour from the time the Crescent works
caught another alarm was sounded and it
was found that oil discharged from an
overturned tank further up the creek had
scattered itself over broad enough ex-
panse of water to reach the Crescent fire,
where it at once ignited and in moment
a large acreage of the creek was one vast
sea of fire.
The flames Sweep Right on.
This blaze soon spread to The Interna-
tional oil works, owned by J. p. Thomas
6, Co, and they We're soon in blaze.
Then came the large refining plant and
soap factory of Rice & Robinson, which
the flames il a short time reached and con-
sumed. The wind WAS in the right quar-
ter and on sped the fire. arriving in due
time at the Oil Creek refinery and wax

troyed the large furniture factory, store,

seventy-five private dwellings.

The fire swept up Chimney gulch before
a strong wind, and house after house took
fire and added to the blaze. The dry
wooden houses and cabins burned like

smoke and iunumerable sparks. The gUlch
was like furnace and the frightened Citi-

A Season of Free Liquor.
Owing to the large number of saloons in
camp, liquors were free and hundreds of
men took advantage of it and filled them
selves, with the natural consequence of a
drunken crowd, who have so far done no
damage. Some acts of thieving have taken
place and already two buildings are filed
with arrested parties. Most of the inhabi-
tants We're in bed when the alarm was
given. The shouts of men and the cries
of women as they rushed out into the
street increased the confusion. There was
no available fire apparatus, and the people
could only gaze on the burning structures
from a safe distance, for they could do
nothing to quench the flames.

every building in the gulch from Brainerd

east, and west nearly 1000 feet, and in

plosion of coal oil. The terrible heat and
close proximity of all the buildings to

way, The insurance will be about 500,

GREAT COPPER TRUST FORMED.
Principal Mines Combine to Limit Pro-
duction and Raise Prices.

New YORK, March 10-Rumors of a
great combination which, if effected, will
involve millions of dollars, are just now
proving matters of prime interest to man
ufacturers and dealers in copper and hold
ers of copper mining stocks. For months
copper prices have been very low and the
tension upon most of the copper mining
companies in the Lake Superior region,
Montana, Arizona and New Mexico to
keep things going has been severe. 1t has
long been urged by copper producers that
some combination to limit the production
should be forced, but only within a very
recent time has the matter assumed shape.
The negotiations have been carried on
very secretly. The course of prices, how
ever, in the Boston market has shown
things going on favorably. A Boston dis
patch received this afternoon says:
The statement is made here on good authority
that the proposed combination OF copper mine
properties, with the exception of the Quincy
Company, which declined to join has practic-
ally been effected.
1t is stated that the annual production
of the Anaconda mine is fixed at 1000, 900
pounds, and of the Calumet and Hecla at
%, 100000 pounds.
BosroS, March lott is stated that
proceeding satisfactorily The delay is
occasioned principally by the greatness of
the undertaking. The chief trouble it IS
reported, has been the arrival at a settle
ment with Haggin, of Anaconda, but it
is believed that some basis satisfactory TO
him has been practically agreed upon.
