TWENTY ARE KNOWN TO BE DEAD
PROPERTY LOSS FROM FOREST
FIRES ROUGHLY ESTIMATED
At $1,50o,ooo.
FIRES ARE NEARLY BURNED OUT
ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 500
ARE WITHOUT FOOD AND
SHELTER.

Portland, Or, Sept. II. - Twenty
lives have been lost and it is roughly
estimated that $1,500,O00 worth Of
property has been destroyed during
the past week by forest fires in Oregon
and Washington.
Many more people are missing, but
1t will not be known how many are
dead until reports from districts are
in. The estimate of the property loss
does not include standing timber, but
includes saw mills, houses, barns,
shops, cordwood and farm implements.
Thousands Of acres of timber have
been burned over, but the destruction
of great timber has not been heavy.
Relief is being hurried from this city,
Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver,
Wash, to those who have lost their
homes and crops. The lists where the
greatest destruction occurred are
Lentz, Spring Water and Bridal Veil,
in Oregon, and Fifty Plain, Lewis
River and Elma, Wash. In all the
places it is estimated there are about
500 people without food and shelter.

RESCUE PARTIES DRIVEN BACK
GAS AND SMOKE so THICK THEY
ARE UNABLE TO REACH
THE MEN.
EXPLOSION CAUSES DISASTER
GAS EXPLOSION SETS OFF BLAST.
ING POWDER, WRECkING
THE ENTRANCE.

North Fork, w. Va, Sept ia gas
and powder explosion occurred in the
Big Four mine of the Algona Coal and
Coke company here yesterday as the
result of which James Lester, an engi-
neer; John Reicki, Hungarian miner,
and fifteen cOlOred miners are known
to be imprisoned in the mine. There
is hardly one chance for the men to be
recovered alive, as they are beyond
the point where the explosion oc-
eurred. The gas and smoke is SO
thick that all rescuing parties have
been driven back. N. Frankenfeld, q
miner, succeeded in crawling over the
fallen coal and slate after the explo-
sion to the lights of the rescue party
and was taken out alive although bad
ly burned and nearly suffocated by the
gas and smoke. The explosion is said
to have been caused by an accumula-
tion Of gas catching fire from the
lamp of miner who was going to
work, and this in turn fired six kegs
OF blasting powder that had been
stored back In the mines. The e4;
plosion knocked down all of the brat
tices for a quarter Of a mile back to-
ward the mine entrance, thus cutting
out all OF the air from the men
Imprisoned Behind the Debris.
There was small gas explosion in
this mine on Saturday last, and Mine
superintendent A. T. Stuart had per-
sonally cautioned the men who
worked in the mine not to attempt to
work again until the air had been
tested by safety lamp. A rescuing
party headed by Mine Inspector Coop.
er attempted a rescue, but were driven
back by the want of air. It is now
learned that the coal is burning and
there is no hope of extinguishing the
flames until new air passage can be
built to the point Of the explosion.
Supt. Stuart has a large force of men
at work now and will make a second
attempt to reach the imprisoned men.
At 8 O'Clock last night the rescuing
party returned from the Algoma mine
and reported that they were unable to
reach the men imprisoned there on
account of the deadly black damp.
The men have succeeded in building
air brattices within fifty yards of the
place where the explosion occurred.
The bodies of the two mules that were
used by the miners when they went to
work have been found.

Vancouver, Wash, Sept, II. - The
list Of fatalities in Lewis and Corl1tz
counties as a result of the fires con-
tinues to increase rapidly. Sixteen
deaths are reported and people living
in the vicinity Of the burned district
say the list Of the dead will aggregate
fifty. Along both sides of the Colum'
bia river fires are still burning, though
the worst Is over. In Oregon, as far as
reported, only two lives have been
lost.
The conditions in regard to the for.
est fires in the section around Aber-
deem, Wash, have materially changed
for the better. The reports of loss Of
life In certain instances have not been
confirmed, all those having been re-
ported as lost now being accounted for,
although there were some narrow es'
capes and startling experiences on the
Toquiam river. Lumbermen say that
the fire was mostly in the brush, dead
wood, ETC., and that green timber has
not been injured materially. No reli.
able estimate of the extent of the
damage can be obtained. A report
from the Dale settlement east Of Belle
mountain, Is to the effect that nearly
every settler In that section has been
driven from home and his property
consumed by
The Great Wall Of Fire
that swept through there. A Wash
ougal report says that the loss of
property in that section Is worse than
was at first thought. The country
around and including the Shamaka,
Last Chance, Latton and Blue Bird
mines, is a smoking ruin, and many
people are homeless. Fully 100 fami-
lies have been burned out in the vi.
cinity of Elma, Wash.
Fires are raging in the mountains
near Barnica, Mont, and only heavy
rain will save an enormous amount of
timber and cut wood. The campers
are supposed to have started the Ares.
North of Anaconda fire is ravagin8
