A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The City Of Baltimore Goes Up in
Smoke.

Inc City OF 6aItimore Goes UP III
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 1904.-The
greatest and most disastrous fire in
history occurred at Baltimore, Mary
land Sunday, the entire city being de-
stroyed and the loss will reach close
to 5000. 10000.
The fire started Sunday about noon
in the wholesale district and it is be-
lieved spontaneous combustion was the
cause The local fire department could
not handle it and relief was asked Ut
the neighboring city Of Harrisburg,
Pa. Aid was at once dispatched but by
the time it was at hand, block after
block was being consumed by the
flames. Relief was then asked from
New. York, Wilmington and many ad
Joining cities, which readily respond
ed.
The railroads turned over their lines
for this use and men and fighting ap-
paratus were brought to the scene as
rapidly as possible.
The firemen were unable to cope
with the flames and trains Of dynamite
were brought in and exploded in the
hope that an obstructing path could
be cleared before the flames. Ton after
ton was exploded with little or no
avail.
The fire swept everything before it
to the water front and a vast amount
of shipping was destroyed. All of the
ware houses have been destroyed and
a number of boats that were anchored
at the wharves. Fire tugs from all al
ong the coast have been pressed into
service
The final loss will probably be twice
that of the famous Chicago fire and
it is feared that a number of the pro-
minent insurance companies will fail.
Later.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 19O4.-The fire
which has been raging in Baltimore
for the past eighteen hours is prac-
tically under control. The entire bust
ness section has been wiped out and a
number of the most historic buildings
in America have been destroyed. The
fatality is great, scores of people hay
ing lost their lives Banks, depots and
general commerce is at standstill.
President Roosevelt has offered re-
lief from the government and a bill
has been introduced in Congress ap
propriating 100000 for that purpose
The Governor has issued proclama
ton throughout the State, declaring
legal holiday. The entire city Is
Frustrated.
It is feared that this heavy blow will
cause many of the insurance compan.
es to fail, as the loss entailed will be
SO great.
This is the largest fire in the an
nails OF American history.

Snow Storm a God Send.

The present snowstorm is godsend
to the Comstock and the rest of New
ada, but to the Comstock in particular,
as the water company would have been
unable to supply the mines with water
much longer had the dry spell contin.
ued, and it would have been necessary
to close some Of them down. All dan
ger of water shortage, however, is
thought to be past, as the fall Of snow
in the mountains has been heavy. The
weather bureau reports a depth Of
three feet at summit at Z o'clock Fri
day morning and as the fall since has
been great there is probably twice
that depth now.-Enterprise.

A Thousand Days Work.

Lieutenant Governor Allen, who, by
the way is something of a miner, has
made arrangements for a thousand
days work at his property at Cling
house. Mr.. Allen is interested with sew
eral associates in the prosperous camp
and has what appears to be one of the
best claims in the camp.
Recently some Eastern parties came
along and wanted to get into the COM
bination. AS Lem had figured on doing
some work on the ground and had it
figured out pretty close, he made tho
visitors a proposition. He proposed
that the new parties do the work and
stipulated that the work amount to
one thousand days Of eight hours each.
as Lem believes in the new law. The
result was that the new people acquir.
ed a half interest in the property and
do the work.
Mr.. Allen figured that with a thou.
sand days work on the ground that he
will know just where he is at, and il
there is a mine in the ground, that
he will know just where it is at, and
! if there is mine in the ground he will
have it and all hands will receive the
benefit. II that amount Of work does
not develop the bullion, then it is time
f., to give someone else a chance at it
1t is a new but decidedly wise mining
proposition.
