nent indicated that there was a big
fire in progress at the West End, a
little after six O'Clock Saturday eve
ming. The fire was in the blacksmith
and furnace shops of the superior
Ship building company and in short
time the building was entirely des-
tloyed, causing loss of about 0,OOC
and throwing several hundred men
out of employment.
When the fire was first discovered
flames were leaping out through the
roof of the blacksmith shop and in a
few minutes the building was all
ablaze. Being made of pine it burned
very readily.
The large oil tank which supplies
the furnaces and holds at the present
time about 5000 gallons of oil is To-
Gated very close to the burned build
ing and it was feared at one time that
this tank would be exploded by the
terrific heat to which it was subjected.
Notwithstanding the danger the fire.
men STOOD bravely by and played
water onto the structure until it had
cooled off and danger had passed.
The building destroyed was large
affair about ISL by Al feet and con-
tanned many valuable tools. Besides
all the tools it contained two steam
hammers valued by tie company at
$4,000 apiece. About seventy five
men We're employed in this depart
ment and they are of necessity thrown
out OF work while the many men
whose work depends upon the opera
tons of the blacksmith shop will also
be forced to lie idle until arrange
ments could be made. A temporary
structure will be commenced at once
so that as little delay as possible was
made. The loss of time at this busy
season Of the year is one of the worst
blows that the shipbuilding company
could have dealt it and will amount to
almost as much as the loss incurred.
How the fire started is not known.
The blacksmiths stopped work at 4:30
and no work was done in the building
from that time. 1T is possible that the
fire caught i'll some waste and smold-
cred until it broke out into flame.
The building and contents were
fully covered by insurance 50 that the
only loss that the shipbuilding COM
pany will incur is the delay IN its
work. This fire will delay the launch
ing of the boat which was to have
been launceed early next month as
the blacksmith shop is an important
factor in the finishing of the boats
