A forest fire, which started from
camp fire, has been raging north of
the mining camp of Gold Hill, a town
of about 500 inhabitants, 10 miles
northwest. The timber was as dry as
powder, and il was not long before the
town was burning. The miners and
store keepers soon saw the futility of
trying to save the buildings, and sent
their wives and children to Boulder
while they conveyed as much of their
movable property as possible into the
mine tunnels. The flames utterly de-
stroyed Gold Hill town, and threat

the dock. and it was while Cumphrey
was getting this case out of the-river

For this work he received the sum of
