Mining TOWNS FIRE
Business Part Of Victor, Colorado,
To-. Wiped Out.
LOSS TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

Efforts to Check the Flames by the
Use Of Dynamite Was Resorted to.
but in Vain The Town But Six
Years Old.
Denver, Aug. 22.-Reports from Vic
tor, Colo, say that the business portion
of the town is bupned, the wind is
blowing a gale and the loss is very
heavy. Help was summoned from
Cripple Creek. but the town had been
built in the early days of the camp and
was Of pine timber for the most part
which burned like finder.
Efforts were made to stop the pro-
gress of the flames by blowing up
buildings in their path by means OF
dynamite. and all the prominent hills
have roared with the explosions. but
the effort was in vain. The fire burned
the Bank of Victor. the postofice. on
the corner opposite, crossed Third
street and followed the row Of blocks
between Third and Fourth streets to
the north, taking In the Victor bank
ing company, the Western Union Tele-
graph company's Office and the office OF
the Colorado Telephone company. the
Hotel Victor ON the opposite side OF
Fourth, and the great shaft house OF
the Gold Coin Mining company and Its
ore bins, among the largest In the
Cripple Creek district.
The scenes of the Cripple Creek fire
were duplicated. Hurrying before the
roaring flames went men, women and
children, carrying what they could
snatch from the flames, racing for their
lives. The crash of buildings torn
asunder by dynamite and the crackle
of the flames as they consumed the dry
buildings, hastened their flight, and the
pail Of smoke added a terror to the
spectacle. A special train was placed
at the command of the city by the
Florence and. Cripple Greek railroad,
and three companies of firemen, with
apparatus, were rushed to the scene.
They worked all afternoon In a vain
endeavor to stay the march OF the
flames.
The residence portion Of the city has
suffered comparatively little. but the
business portion is paralyzed and sur
fering is bound to follow. The loss
will reach 100000. The first house
was built in Victor in October, 1898.
