the spot but smoldering mass Of tim
bers and twisted iron.
Flying embers alighted on the roof
of the Butte Public Library Building,
four-story structure, one of the finest
buildings in the city. It is now in
ruins. The loss on the library build
ing, together with nearly 100000 vol

flames from the sides of the building.
Famed by the stiff wind, the embers
lew for blocks, and it was only by the
hardest kind of work that the six

street, was saved. A heavy rain
which began soon after the fire was
discovered enabled the firemen to gain
control of the flames and prevent the
destruction of the city !

the present circumstances did not afford suffi-
