The first IRE Of consequence in CoIfax
for the last three years occurred about
half past 10 o'clock last Saturday night.
in which the Big Pine Lumber Co. lost
the boiler room to the planer, the shaw
ing fumes and bins attached, and the
electric plant that furnished lights for
the company's mill. commissary and en-
tire grounds. The electric plant also
furnished light for Capt. C. H. Teal's
residence and the residences of w. D.
Lurry, M. Peppard, ]. r. Meas and other
employees of the company.
Mr.. Hugh Cory. the manager, informs
us that his company's loss is about $1,000.
entirely covered by insurance. He says
the planer will be in shape to run in ten
days, and all the damages will soon be
repaired.
The building was good sized struct-
ure, and being Of light wood, together
with the other inflamable material at
hand, made big blaze, and many citi-
tens Of Colfax immagined that Big Pine
would lose bali OF its plant. However.
the company had good waterworks, and
their great effectiveness and value was
soon apparent. Although the boiler
house stood within Is or 20 feet of the
big planer house, the plsner Was saved
intact by the free playing of three or
four streams Of water. In charge OF one
of the hose MOBILES we noted Mr.. Marx
Hirsch and Mr.. Hugh Cory, Jr- and
must say that they did extra good ser.
vice. However, everybody did their level
best. and they we're ably seconded by
many willing hands.
The fire is thought to have originated
by the blowing out Of the packing from
one Of the boilers, which blew sparks
into the shaving pit or bin, from which
the flames soon sprang into brisk blaze,
and the entire building was on fire be-
fore the alarm could be given. The con-
filming of the fire under the circumstances
to the single building in which it cauRht
was really remarkable, and Big Pine is
to be congratulated that it did not suffer
greater loss.
