THE CHIRICAHUA FIRE
WHICH SWEPT THE FOREST
An Official Report of the Extinsuish
ment Of the confIasration.

A lane twelve miles long anc forty
feet wide through the Chiricahua Nat
ional Forest in Arizona, cut by Super
| visor McGlone ard a force # sixty
men. has stopped fire that originated
outside the forest and crossed into it.
The first telegram announcing that the
canfiagration was under control has
been supplemented by further details.
II was the most threatening fire, and
the most extensive, in the National
Forests this season. 1t had advanced
with front ten miles long through a
region OF such dense brush that the
usual manner of fighting a forest fire
could not b. followed. and the heroic
method Of cutting track through the
jungle was employed. Bushes. logs and
all grass was removed from the strip,
and the work required nearly two
weeks. The Copper Queen Smelter. To-
Gated in that district, furnished IS
Mexican laborers to assist the rangers
and settlers In the fight
With axes and shovels the road was
cut through the chapparel ahead Of the
fire. across its entire front. and out
thanking 1t by a mile on either end.
the conilagration, and the pine forest
was saved.
II was one of the boldest and most
extensive schemes OF fire fighting ever
successfully carried out in this country
1t was possible because plans had been
worked out in advance to meet just
that emergency. should 1t arise.
Plans Of similar kind are prepared
in advance for all the National Forests
where fire danger is great. When the
crisis comes all available men are con-
centrated at the point of vantage. and
science and forethought try conclusions
with the fire.
Had the fire crossed the 12-nile lane
or had the fighters failed in their cal
culations. valuable pine forests would
have been burned. IL was a long. DIFF
fcult and spectacular fight but Il
proved the wisdom OF preparing for
war In time of peace.
