COLORADO TIMBER BURNING.
Forest Fires Near RedcIifr, Col, Sweep
on Unchecked.

Redcliff, Col, Sept IA timber fire
prevailing for the past few days in the
vicinity of the deserted village of Gold
Park, IL miles from here, has assumed
threatening proportions and is raging
through a large acreage of timber on
Homestake mountain. Prospectors and
miners operating in that section are
returning to town, driven in by the
suffocating smoke and the encroaching
flames.
Weather conditions in this section
are favorable for the spread of forest
fires, as everything is exceedingly dry,
owing TO the almost entire absence of
the customary rainy season, and unless
the drought is promptly raised incalcu-
liable damage will result. The timber
in which the flames now hold sway is
among the finest in the state. The wind
at present is heading the fire in this
direction.
