Apr. 2.-TWelVe hotels and more than 9 score of small buildings adjoining the board walk which is built along the ocean edge were destroyed today by q f''e which swept the beach front for two long blocks from Illinois avenue to New York at-enua. The loss, il is believed, will exceed $150.oo0. in this respect the c3nnagrat:on is the most disas- trCUs that ever visited thi; city Ths loss will be only partially covered by insurance.
 Fortunately ro lives were sacrificed. though urcalbly a dozen persons were slightly injured and burncd during the progress of the fire.

The effect of the shutdown of the mines has been apparent on the Butte, Anaconda & Pa ciiic railroad today. There were but three men working in the shop and practically no switching was done, all the ore trains being laid off. Some 200 railroad employees are affected by the strike. It is feared that the big WaGhoe smelters in Anaconda will he compelled to shut down for want of ore The plant is running light, for the amount of ore in the bins is linn tied. 1.
