RANDSBURG WIPED OUT
California Mining Town Destroyed
by Fire-WireS Down and
Details Lacking.

Bakersfield, Cal, June Sword was
received here at 3:15 o'clock this after
noon through the Southern Pacific tel
egraph Office that the entire town OF
Randsburg had been destroyed by fire,
which broke out at noon. All efforts to
communicate with Randsburg have
failed, as the telephone and Western
Union offices have been destroyed. A
nigh wind is prevailing on the desert
and as the town lies along one street
and has no fire protection il is probable
that nothing has been saved. County
Auditor w. c. Wilson, who owns the
telephone line to Randsburg and Mo
jave, also received a message from his
manager at Mojave confirming the re-
port.
The town of Randsburg is one of the
principal mining camps in southern
California. 1t is in the center of the
richest district in Kern county and is
in the extreme southeastern portion
just inside the line Of San Bernardino
county It has a population of 1.500
people. entirely engaged in mining, and
the mines surrounding IT are now near
" all running at full capacity. There
also is a large bOrax works there. It
is built almost entirely of frame, and
fire starting there would have little dif4
ficulty in wiping the town out of eX-
istence. It is impossible TO form any
reliable estimate of the probable loss,
but if the town has been wiped out as
indicated it will probably reach $500, 600.

GREAT NORTHERN ROAD
PARTLY UNDER WATER

Kalispell, Mont, June 6.-The ex-
IRENE high water at Bonners Ferry
la, and also at LeOnia is causing the
Great Northern much trouble and ne
cessitates the running Of all trains west
from Havre through Great Falls and to
Helena over the Northern Pacific to
Spokane. The trains were today turned
around at LeOnia and sent back to
Havre. The water over the tracks at
the places named is from three to five
feet deep. Two engines turned over in
the raging water. People at BOnner's
Ferry are going around town in row
boats and they are at a premium. From
the present outlook the water will be
bad for several weeks unless cold
weather soon sets in, which is not
looked for. The banks of the KoOtenai
river are caving in all along the rail-
road line and no more trains may be
had from the west for two weeks.
