Two Bunk Houses Burned at Tunnel
No. ! Beyond Bourne. yeSter.
day Afternoon.
Not known Definitely How Il Origin.
ated And Impossible 10 Estimate
The Loss.

A couple of bunk houses at the
North Poles No. I tunnel. half mile
beyond Bourne, we're burned between
l aud 9 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The loss of the buildings is about
1900, but 1t is impossible to estimate
how much the miners lost iu the way
of clothing, bedding, money aud
other things. One miner lost a
watch which he valued at 800. Sew.
eral had various small sums of money
In their trunks and valises, hut It is
difficult to obtain what amount is
represented.
How the fire originated Is not
known. John Fox, superintendent
of the North Pole mine, Is here to-
day, but he Is at loss to account
for its origin. He thinks probably a
candle was left burning, or the stove
was allowed to get too hot, and It
caught fire In this way. There are
three bunk houses and boarding
house at Tunnel No. /. The third
bnnk house is situated some distance
away, and at no time was in danger
of catching fire from the others, but
1t was with difficulty that the board.
Ing house, situated nearer, was saved.
Mr.. Fox does not attempt to estimate
tie loss. either Of the buildings or
the miners effects. Others say that
It will take perhaps $500 or s4OO to
replace the buildings, while OF
course, 1t Is hari to tell the cash
value OF what the miners lost In per-
soual effects. The buildings will
have to be replaced at once, 1t is un-
derstood.

Nothing definite has been learned as to the whereabouts of Augustus Shaw, who has not been home since Saturday morn- ing His son feared foul play at first, as 1t was known to several that he had a large sum of money with him.

No trace of his horse and buggy has been found. The case is very mysterious, and everything is being done to fathom the mystery.

Bessemer, December 2.-(Special. .)-The receipts of the Bessemer postoffice for the month of November were $964.4 47. a most gratifying gain over any of ths months of the past year.
 The growth of Bessemer and this sec ton is better reflected in the postal re- ceipts than In any other means. Not only Is Bessemer growing rapidly but the adjoining section is developing very fast. In addition, rural routes going out from this city to others. are to be established. The inspector has already gone over these proposed routes and 1t is understood that the appointment of the carriers will soon be announced.
 The business of the Bessemer postoffice has grown to such an extent as to make the need of a new government building imperative.
 Looking to this end the site has already been purchased and 1t is thought that at the coming sessioIs of congress will ap- propriate thanmount to erect the new postoffice beMtng.
