Fierce Fires on Vancouver Island,

VICTORIA, b. c., July 24.--The southern
half of Vancouver island has not seen
clear atmosphere for several days owing
to the bush fires everywhere raging, caus-
ing immense damage to property and
making travel on country roads extremely
dangerous. The worst reports of damage
reached this city from Alberni. That city
is surrounded by one immense fire, which
has taken entire possession of Mineral
HILL n wealthy section. The flames have
destroyed all buildings In the Duke Of
York Mine, China Greek, and are now
within two or three miles of the town,
having burned numerous camps, bridges
etc. There were many narrow escapes
from death. Women and children had to
be kept under the piping of hydraulic
mines and drenched with water to pre-
vent them from being scorched. The dam
age to property thus for is estimated at
over 100000, and the loss on burned tim.
Der will reach well into the millions.
