 sl50,OOO
tcau,Inued from First page.)

sSonSthueu iFoh ftfst P0gS-t available was soon in use, considera- bie of it under hydraulic pressure from the shelter, and efforts were bent to prevent the spread of the flames to the office of Nine Superin- teRdent Kirk on the north, and to the old Davis restaurant building on the east
 The firemen did splendid work. Among them were a number of Mex jeans. whose fearlessness in follow tng the hose woH general admiration. Particularly at the assay and rental offices was the bravery of the fire fighters in evidence, the windows of these buildings being broken through when it became apparent that they were doomed and the records there secured and carried out along with the more valuable of the equipment. Toward the end of this work the men labored in terrific heat with scorch- ing flames greedily reaching about them
 The old machine shop. the assay and general offices and part of the supply department buildings made up the loss when the firemen, shortly af-
 
 in hand. The machine shop had been partially dismantled. the more i'm Portant of it's equipment having gone to the new building on the slag dump. The more valuable materials that re- mained in the old building were saved before the fire reached it. Those buildings of the supply department which were reached were burned to
 
 of importance in these buildings, as well as in the others that were reach ed by the flames, were saved. The foundry and electric shops on the north of the fire were saved and suf- fered no damage. The restaurant building on the east was also sayed. though for a time the feat seemed among the impossibilities.
 One of the greatest disadvantages the firemen had to work under was the falling of live wires from the thick power and light lines in the To- cality of the fire. These wires strew- ed the ground, and that they did not result in injury to those working among them appears marvellous. The light service in the city was kept gu- ing without Interruption. The teIe- phones. however, were put out of commission with a short time after the fire commenced. the exchange be- ing burned out, and it will probably be couple of days before new board is secured and service resumed. ed
 No interruption of work occurred in the smleter or in the mines during the fire. Slag trains ran arou-d the track above the fire every few min utes, and added the contents of their pots to the lurid scene. Today, ex- cept for the wreckage at the scene of the fire. there is nothing to indicate the destructive work of last night None of the operating divisions have been disturbed, nor will they be.
 An interesting note in connection with last nights fire is that it's oc- currence was just nine days later in the month than the S150,000 lumber yard fire of June l. year ago. That fire was started by Mexican rioters. At the fire last night none worked with greater bravery or more earnest ly to put 1t out than did the Mexicans. who engaged themselves with the fire fighters. They came voluntarily and in far greater number than could be used adyantageously, many being turned back along with Ameri- can volunteers who offered their serv- ices but could not be used.
