A SPECTACULAR FIRE.
New East River Bridge Badly Dam
aued,

New York, Nov. 10.-The new East
river bridge, in process of construc-
tion between New York and Brooklyn,
was damaged to the amount of at
least 100000 tonight by a fire that
for four hours ragged 355 feet in the
air. on the summit of the great steel
tower on the New York side. There
was probably no loss of life.
Owing to the enormous height OF
the tower 1t was impossible to reach
the fire with any apparatus in the fire
department, and the flames. after de-
vouring all the woodwork on the top
of the tower. seized on the timber
falsework of the two foot bridges sus-
pended from the main cables. burning
away the supports until nearly mil
lion feet of blazing lumber fell with
mighty splash and hiss into the
stream.
The falling foot bridge carried away
score of lighter cables and guys,
which trailed in the water, rendering
it necessary, for the purpose of safe
ty. to stop all traffic up and down the
river.
The steamer Puritan and other craft
had narrow escapes while running the
gauntlet of the fiery brands that fell
in showers from the burning bridge.
The fire was the most spectacular
conflagration that has ever been seen
In New York.

On top OF each one OF the three Goa,

The area covered by the Laramie
group. as marked on the geological
map Of Colorado. by Hayden, is much

Springs. The limit between the coal
measures of the Laramie formation
and the other cretaceous deposits be-
low is marked as line directly north
OF Hayden. In reality the eastern
limit of the coal fields Is a north-south
line following few miles to the west
the county road between Steamboat
Springs. as shown on map No l. That
increases the coal fields by many
thousands of acres.
The coal fields can be subdivided into
four groups. each one having special
characteristics. These are:
The Oak creek coal fields. These oc-
cupy the southeast corner OF the coal
deposits and have their outlet towards
Yampa.
Second-The Bear river coal fields
These are well developed in several
mines along the river between Steam
boat Springs and Hayden. Only the
outcrops easy of access and close to the
road have been developed.
Third-The Williams river noun
tains coal fields These coal measures
crop in the north-south valleys, or
rather canons, connecting Hayden and
! the Williams River valley, not reaching
either of these two points. They are
directly south of Hayden, which is their
| outlet.
The coal of the three fields above
named is Ignite coal. often of much
better grade than that of the well-de-
veloped fields of the eastern slope of
the Rocky mountains. | have seen
piles of large Jumps of coal. which had
F, been exposed to the air for several
years. and which had Stacked only a
| little. Such coal could support trans
portation and long storage.
Fourth-The Pilot Mountain coal
fields. These fields surround the sum-
NIT of Mount Pilot. which is a mass of
| eruptive andesite, and are characterized
by the presence of bituminous coal and
of anthracite. The coal measures out
i crop high in the mountain, in very
thickly wooded country, with numer-
GUS shrubs and high grass. so that.
with the exception of few places
where the creeks have cut their way
through the measures, 1t is nearly i'm
| possible to follow the outcrops for any
| distance. These fields have two out
lets, one for the west side OF the
mountain, to the southwest towards
Hayden, and another for the coal bSds
of the eastern slope towards Steamboat
| Springs, along the three forks of Deep
creek.
The analyses of the coal show that
the grade is very fair. The percentage
of volatile matter for sixteen anlyses
varies from 2.7O to 44.30 per cent, while
the fixed carbon ranges between 4.5O
and S7.9S. The moisture is as low as
1.S9 or as high as 1910 per cent. The
ashes give 185 and 22.65 per cent as
extreme numbers. AS will be seen, the
sixteen analyses are taken from all
parts of the coal fields.

WAR OVER ASSESSMENTS.
Teller County Makes a Cut that is De-
clared lIleoal

Denver, Nov. 1.-THE first gun in
the battle to be waged by county otii-
cas against the State Board of
Equalization, in the mater of al
legged unfair equalization of assess
ments. was fired yesterday by Coun-
+ ty Assessor Lysight of Teller county.
The state auditor received from AS
SCISSOR Lysight an amended abstract"
of the Teller county assessment. re-
ducing the total valuation of all prop
erty in the county from $20,300,753 to
$l2 .3O9 ,09O.
This is cut of nearly $S,0O0,O0 or
more than one-third of the total valu-
alton. Auditor Crouter was not in his
Office when the communication was re-
eeived, but Deputy Auditor Daniels,
who has charge of such matters, was
overcome with surprise. County AS
sessor Lysight's letter states that the
figures he submitted were ''as amend
ed by our County Board of Equaliza-
ton in their meeting" and included
the reductions in railroad valuations
made by the state board.
Where the Teller county officials
got their authority to make any such
reduction cannot imagine" said
Deputy Auditor Daniels. THE county
abstracts were all in a month ago, and
the state board passed on them and
made the tax levy, and we have certi-
fled the levy and the amounts due
from the various counties. 1t is rath-
er late in the day for a county asses
sor to amend his abstract. especially
when he cuts down his total by nearly
100000. In my opinion the action
is clearly illegal, and l shall recon-
mend that no attention be paid to this
amended abstract"
The revenue law provides that the
county commissioners shall sit as q
board Of equalization on the first and
third Tuesdays in September. and at
no other time Section 81 Of the law
provides that the county board may
eequalize. but expressly prohibits II
rom making any increase or decrease
In the total valuation of q county.
