MIninq Town DESTROYED By Fire.

Salt Lake, Utah, June 26.-Mercur,
the great cyanide gold camp, and the
second largest mining town in Utah,
was practically wiped out of existence
by fire yesterday. The origin of the
fire remains a mystery, beyond the fact
that it began with an explosion Of some
kind in the upper story of the Preble
block, in which the Oquirrah Hotel
and a saloon were located. Not less
than 40 or so stores have been de
stroyed, and not one is left in the
camp. At least 1000 persons are with
out food and shelter. A conservative
estimate places the total loss between
$500, 900 and $1,000. 900.
