One of the Greatest Calamltles
Ever Known in the Territory.
Within Two Hours Five Blocks OF Property
Were in Flames.
Eight Charred Bodies Reported to
Have Been Taken From the
Ruins-The Property Loss Es-
timated at Half a Million Dol
lars.

PRESCOTT (Ariz.), Sept. 12-Yes-
terday's fire at Jerome was one OF the
greatest calamities that has ever oc-
CURED in the Territory. Jerome through
the agency of fire in the past has suf-
fered heavily, but it would seem that
yesterday was decreed to shatter its
previous progressive existence and
finally wipe it out.
1t was nearly O'Clock when the f1rst
alarm was given, and the slumberers
awoke to realize that a shack In the
Italian quarter, near the Grand View
Hotel, was being consumed by the
fiery element Although people assem-
bled rapidly after the first note OF
alarm, the flames seemed to be more
rapid, and spread, licking up building
after building. From the beginning Of
the fire to it's end on the hill near the
county property the flames swept with
such rapidity and fury that it was
simply bewildering. Strong, brave men
faltered in the performance of what
they as a solemn duty owed to them
selves and their friends, but in the
frightful scenes which faced them and
theirs, to hesitate was only to be lost.
Eye-witnesses with whom we have
talked state lUdI 1t WAS d
panorama and as the fire progressed
in the course of half a dozen distinct
channels it's hideous work was well
done. They can tell nothing. All that
anyone knows is that they could see
the flames strike against house with
herculean force, and their destructive
work was accomplished, and they sped
on and on. In less than two hours
after the alarm an area covering at
least the space of five blocks was a
s1noldering ruin. Structures of the
most substantial material were con-
sumed as though they were tissue and
seemed to be the fiends delight.
Nothing was spared Men and women
who by years of industry and thrift
had accumulated household goods and
comforts for themselves saw all but
their scanty apparel swept away.
The scene last night was one of hor-
ror and gloom. While no suffering for
ordinary necessaries prevails, despair
is written on many countenances.
Added to the loss of property and the
fact that the once thrifty town is no
more, that its $500 people are in most
instances destitute, the grim reaper Of
death hovers over the scene of desola-
tion, intensifying the frightful work of

destruction Many men and children
are missing. Eight charred bodies have
thus far been discovered, and IT is
feared that possibly twice that number
have perished in the holocaust NO
one, however, at the present knows the
exact extent Of the loss Of life, ana
not until the smoldering ruins have
sufficiently cooled to permit of a care
full search will the list of casualties be
completed.
After the alarm was given and the
utter futility of any efforts to arrest
the progress of the fire by fighting 1t
with water was seen, dynamite was
resorted to. But it did not avail. The
cinders were carried aloft by the ex-
plosions, and fell on house after house,
setting them rapidly on fire. In some
instances the embers Travelled dis
tance of over 200 yards The water
supply was inadequate, and was only
effective in a few remote and isolated
buildings.
The scenes enacted were pitiable In
the extreme, particularly among the
women, who, frenzied at the loss of all,
watched with tears the destruction OF
their homes and household property,
stem the tide of destruction, but in
vain, for only in a few cases were they
able to save anything.
In property loss it is difficult to make
an estimate. In cases, however, like
the houses owned by the United Verde
Company, numbering at least fifty, and
having a valuation of $1,000 each, the
magnificent hospital building and gen.
eral merchandise stores. saloons. hotels
and other business houses, some idea
may be had of the extent of the loss.
Many people familiar with Jerome
place the loss at figures ranging from
half to three quarters of a million dol
lars. There was but little insurance, the
total aggregating less than $4,000 The
loss is complete, it being stated that
not even the commonest articles of use
We're saved. Much merchandise and
other valuable goods were removed to
places on the hillside, but the heat be-
came SO intense that nearly everything
was destroyed in the end.
The following losses from yesterday S
fire are total: Grand View Hotel: j..
w. Cody, restaurant; w. j. Parks,
barber shop; S. J. Perkins, fruits; /.
K Laslin; Merrill Bros, merchandise;
Brisley & Tarr drugs; F. Kuchler, Je-
rome Hotel; Charles Nathorst, Jerome
Hotel Cafe; j. w Ross, lawyer; f. S.
Friar, clothing; j. G. Mcbride, Com
mercial Hotel; Mrs. Boyd, lodging;
Mrs. j. f. Reed, three lodging houses;
ST. Charles Hotel; Elder & Smiley, soda
works; Sam Landon, furniture: Jerome
lumber and planning mill; Allen John
ston, blacksmith; J. Valderine; ]. Tam
borino, saloon; Mcfarland & Hoover,
saloon; j. c. Lanham, saloon; d. Con-
nors, saloon and hotel; Jap. Charley,
restaurant and lodging; c. Neff, sa-
loon; Buchanan & Edmondson, saloon;
Con. O'Keefe, merchandise; Hoover &
Cordiner saloon; Scott & Cordiner, sa-
loon; Van Alen & Archambeau, saloon;
P. F. Linton, fruits; P. NIGGA, saloon;
Scott & Son, butcher shop; Oscar Wag
ner fruits; Arizona Mining News"
printing Office; THE Reporter" print
ing Office.
The loss is difficult to estimate, but
will be close to S5O0O0O.
The town was completely wiped out
from Duff's livery stable to the Bap-
tist Church. Every one will rebuild at
once.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The regular dramatic season of the
Orpheum opened last night to full
house, one Of the largest audiences We
have seen here in a long time. Harry
Corson Clarke in What Happened to
Jones' was the attraction. He was
supported by a good company, seven
Of whom We're with Mr.. Clarke when
he was here year ago. From the
rise of the curtain to it's final fall the
audience was kept in a constant roar
of laughter with the intermiSsionS only
that accompanied the between-acts
rests. Mr.. Clarke is far more than a
clever comedian; he is an artist in his
line, and evidently is fully conscious
that comedy demands as much pains
taking as do most Of the other lines
Of dramatic art. His company, hap
PLY for him, is in thorough sympathy
with the sentiment and spirit of his
method. The absurdly comical and
improbable story Of the play is thus
made to seem real, and by the art of
the actors it's humor is refined and in
tensified. The play will be repeated
tonight for the last time. It's great
success last night warrants the belief
that the final evening will give sthe
players a crowded house.
