appearances will sweep the country to
Bear mountain at Minturn.

Willow and Two Elk, the country Is
devastated, little remaining to feed
tho flames. From Hoosicr mountain
the wind has driven the fire to the
edge of Gypsum creek. The settlers

finest body of timber in the state is
doomed. No loss of life has been re-
ported, but several persons have lost
their homes and their crops. All the
game is leaving the country, driven
out by the smoke and heat Of the blaz-
ing woods.
Dispatches say that Whcyley's peak,
between North and Middle park, is
now a mass Of flames. IL is greatly
feared that they will extend TO both of
those beautiful camping grounds. Tho

through the counties Of Garfield, Delta
