D1TSON SWEPT BY FIRE.
Business Centre of tho Town Wiped Om /,
with 81 200, 900 Loss.

VANCOUVER b. c.. May 2l.-The steamer
Tees, which arrived in Victoria late last night.
brings the news of another disastrous fire at
Dawson City, which wiped out the entire buai-
ness centre OF the town. The losses will aggre-
gate 81. 100000, with not a dollars worth OF
insurance on any OF the great losses. The news
reached Skagway from Bennett Just befo.e the
Tees sailed. 1t was brought TO Bennett by
Frank Tokales a Russian scout: Thomas
Reilly. a messenger from Commissioner Ogil-
vies. and l.. f. Hume. a son Of ex-Mayor Hume
Of Seattle. after long and perilous trip out
from Dawson over broken trails. open rivers
and dangerous lakes.
Tokales reported that the fire occurred on
April ~. in the business centre OF the city.

waterfront 1t spread with unusual rapidity.
driven by a strong north wind. destroying
everything in it's way on that street down to

ments. and taking in all OF the waterfront
buildings OF the same block. The fire crossed
the street. burned through and spread over to
the second street. covering the principal bust
ness portion OF Dawson. leaving 1t oil In ashes.
The flremen were helpless.
The fire consumed everything from Tim
monss Royal Caf6 down to and opposite the
Fairvew Hotel. The fire was the most disas-
trous that has ever visited Dawson. every
building burning like tinder. due to the fact
that they had been standing for nearly two
years and the logs were as dry as powder
The fire spread with such great rapldity that
the citizens were panic stricken and unable to
save anything in the way OF furniture goods
or clothing. so that the loss. when footed up.
promises to be even greater than at first est-
mated
Among the most prominent firms and places
burned out were the Royal Cafe. Donahue 4
Smith. McLennan & McFeely. Parsons Prod
uce Company. Aurora Saloon. Bodega Saloon.
Madden House. Hotel Victoria. Mcdonald
block. Bank OF British North America and
scores Of smaller firms and business houses
There seems q strange coincidence in the
origin OF the fire. for 1t was caused. as was the
one three months ago. by a woman throwing a
lighted lamp in the course Of quarrel in one
of the resorts of Centretown, adjoining the
Opera House block.
The fire came at time when the mills and
dealers in building materials had exhausted
their winter supplies and were waiting the
opening OF navigation to rerenish their stocks
The result is that there Is a famine in all kinds
of building material and furniture. There are
few doors. locks or hinges with which to re-
build the houses.
A few articles still remaining outside OF the
burned district have quadrupled in prices
Doors are selling for S35 each. door locks s.
each. and everything else in proportion.
There is also great danger OF a serious short
age in provisions. Nothing can be done until
the opening OF navigation. which will not be

ci"nt to seriously endanger navigation at the
