a little mining camp in the SLOGAN country
in British Columbia. was entirely wiped
out by the fierce forest fires which con-
tinue to rage with unabated fury and ener-
gy throughout the country north and east
Of here. The inhabitants left everything
and fed for their lives. Several families
have arrived at Kaslo and SLOGAN more
dead than live.
Rossland, B. c., was surrounded by tha
forest fires, and for two days it was
threatened with destruction. But for
the heroic efforts Of the citizens the husta
ling mining camp would have gone. Thq
flames are now past and travelling east
on their work of destruction, eating up
not alone the grand forests, but the cabl
ins and homes Of many hundreds of pros
spectors and miners who are in the path
Of the fire.
Reports Of the loss OF life come into
Rossland and other mining camps, but no
verincatlon OF the reports can be had
II would be remarkable. however, IL SONS
loss of life Is not occasioned by the fires
which are now raging.
Nothing has been heard from the little
town of Saltez, in the Couer d d'Alene coun-
try, which was threatened with destruc~
tion yesterday. 1t is off from any lins

Englewood In which is located the histor-
ic Holmes Castle" was burned early this

gained headway rapidly and was soon be-
yond control of the department at work.
Engines were sent from Morgan park, the
Fifth station, the Sixty-third street
house, and one or two other departments,

siderable, the flames had gained such
headway that they were uncomfortable by
the time they arrived and the building was
destroyed.
