MINING TOWN BURNED.
Jamestown. Cal, Had No Means OF
Fighting Fire.

Sonora, Cal, Dec. 21.--The little
town Of jamestown, located right in
the heart of the mother lode's richest
section, was visited by costly fire this
morning. The fire originated in a
bakery, and the whole business section
was at the flames mercy, and the disor-
ganized bucket brigade fought furious
ly but feebly against odds. When it
was seen that the volunteers were un-
albe to successfully cope with the nre,
kilograms were sent for assistance to
nearby towns, and many persons re-
sponded. Giant powder was used to
check and confine the fire when the
limited water supply and crude means
of getting it ON the fire failed. Nine
buildings, all on the north side of the
street, were consumed with almost the
entire contents. The loss is $40. 900,
with barely $1,000 insurance. A favor
able breeze saved the town from COM
plete destruction.

Costly Building In Pittsburg De-
stroyed.
Pittsuburg, Dec. 81 The beautiful
and costly Casino building in Schelley
Park was destroyed by fire early this
morning. The flames originated from
the bursting of a large ammonia cylin-
Ter in the ice machine Of the skating
rink. The loss il estimated at $500,
BOO.
The explosion occurred at 2:15 A. VI.
The fire department responded prom pit
", but considerable time was lost get
ting effective streams on the building
IN account of deep hollow, which ex-
tends alongside where the fire started.
Noxious vapors which filled the in
terror prevented the femen from en-
tering the Casino and fighting the
DANES from the inside.
BY a o'clock the whole structure was
burning and made grand sight. The
Casino cost $500. 900 and the equipment
more than 800. 600 more.
During the confiagration bridge
across the hollow was crowded. When
the fire appeared at the eastern end Of
the balcony and communicated with
the bridge there was general scatter
ing. Many spectators were cut off
and compelled to pass into the park.

San Francisco, Dec. 2l.--The sleek
and costly sealskin seems to be some-
what out of fashion. The tale of q
falling demand in the product Of Behr-
ing sea and the Pacific has just been
told by the yearly sale at Lampson's,
London. kilograms have been re-
ceived in this city, stating that the
price for the Alaskan fur was 10 per
cent less than that Of last year; that Of
Copper island (Russia) furs Y per
cent, and that of Coast furs, including
California and Japan, 30 per cent lower
than in 1895.
This news comes as surprise to To-
cal tradesmen, for the catch of this
year was much lower than that OF 1895.
The entire catch of the Canadian seal
ers in japanese waters and Behring
sea amounted to 55,877 seals. In
1895, the catch of the Canadians
amounted to "a, 1874. and 1894 to 97.-
474 skins. The catch of the American
pelagic sealers entered at this port
amounted to only 5,040 seals. as
against i5, 900 in 1895. To the former
number, 80. OCT skins are added as the
catch Of the North American Com
mercial Company on the seal islands.
