FIRE At N|CHOLSONS s.
A Batch of Hot Roasted Ore
Sets Fire in the Middle
of Main Building.
MEN WORKED LIKE TURKS.
And One Roast Kiln and the
Ore Bin Were All That
We're Destroyed.

A toot of the big whistle at Nichol-
sons smelter, last Friday, about two
o'clock was the first alarm that fire
had broken out. The employees
dropped their work and ran to the
main building where the roof adioin-
ing the ore bin was found to be in
flames, evidently having burned for
some time.
Several hose lines were played on
the flames and bucket brigades we're
quickly formed, but the fire gained
rapidly. Another long shrek of the
whistle and telephone message to
town notified the fire department, but
by mistake they lost time by going
toward the Lanyon smelter.
The switch engine now had the
alarm and it shrieked wildly as it flew
down the track to pull to Il safe place
the long line OF cars along side of
the burning building. This was done
quickly. The fire engine arrived
about the same time and was hauled
right to the door of the engine room
which WIS threatened, The little en-.
CINE did good serVice as it was played
on the partition which was in flames.
A bucket brigade above saved the
roof and so the engines were saved.
This was the most important thing of
the building as when the engines stop
the fans and furnaces have to stop.
At the east side of the fire one block
or kilns had been burned and the fire
was creeping to the newt, but by cut
ting away and using water the second
kiln with the one east of it were
saved.
The wores were better supplied with
water than others have been during
fires and there was largs pond night
among the buildings which. helped the.
bucket brigade.
The total loss was the ore bin in
which machinery for dryEag the ore
is operated and the frame over one
roast kiln. Credit for the energetic
work which saved the plant is due the
employees, VINO "ereneipeu Up tnecro"u
