DOVER, N. j., May 14.-The employees and
officers OF the American Forcite Powder
Company's mill at Landing. nine miles from
here, are resting after two days fight with
forest fire, which they feared might pos
sibly reach the mill. The company's plant
includes over sixty small wooden buildings.
About five tons Of powder are stored in two
magazines.
Woods surround the hamlet on oil sides.
Forest fires were raging in many parts OF
New Jersey, and the powder company's men
discovered blaze not much more than a
mile away. The Superintendent at once
gathered all the available men and boys in
the neighborhood, to the number OF about
100, and went out with them 20 fight the
flames.
They worked with axes shoveis and brooms
all night and part Of the Lext day. They
thought that they had succeeded in beating
out the flames, but the fire sprang up again
during the afternoon All hands went to
work again and had an anxious night, as at
one time the fire had reached within quar-
ter Of mile Of the powder works.
Ground In tho neighborhood Of the works
was cleared and cautiously burned over.
All the buildings were kept sprinkled with
water, of which IN abundant supply is OBJ
tained from Lake Hoptacong. Women and
children were hurried away over the bridge
to safety.
The men had pretty we'll succeeded in
beating out the flames when morning broke,
and by o'clock all possible danger was
averted. The wind had shifted, too, so that
II any smouldering fire should break out
again 1t would blow away from the powder
works.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., May 1.-THE forest
fires have burned over large portion Of the
lower part of Atlantic County. The weather
has done much toward causing the flames to
spread, as the trees are Thoroughly dried by
the sun and burn quickly and fercely. The
farmers and their help are still fighting the fire
and many Of them have not had much sleep
since the flames broke out nearly week ago.
The flames burned flercefy In the vicinity Of
Pomona, along the line OF the Camden and
Atlantic Railroad. It Is estimated that zen
miles Of land has been burned over. In
Pleasant Mills the fires also ragged f1ercely.
If rain does not come the farmers fear that
the flames will spread toward thickly set.
tied places and that heavy losses will result
from the burning OF buildings and other
property.
CAPE MAY, N. J., May 14.-The forest fires
In Cape May County have destroyed many
cranberry bogs and ruined them. The fires
in Isolated parts Of the county are still ablaze,
and 1t is estimated that the loss In this county
will foot up to hundred thousand dollars.
All New Jersey Is drought stricken and
forest fires are sweeping unchecked in many
sections of the State. Around Lake Hopat.
cong lie extensive chestnut woods, in which
there Is heavy underground, both fine fuel
for the flames.

inches; extreme beam, rs feet; beam at the
load water line, "a feet inches; draught,
