and the i'll fated camp.
Within twenty minutes a relief

and in almost less time than it

denced in a list that will be
found elsewere in these columns.
There are names on that list
for sums so trifiing as to almost
make it look ridiculous, but if a
thought is taken and it is real
lied that seven tenths of those
appealed to, just shelled out
what they had on their persons
at the moment, it will be as
readily realized that this was
but the spontaneous offering of
a prosperous community, which
even more than it has benefited
by the marvellous development
of Rawhide, stands ready now
with men and dollars or what
may be more particularly needed

but in its stead and on its pres

The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1908-09-08

The fire which laid Rawhide in ashes
started in the basement of Banfield's 5
drug store at the corner of Main and
Esmeralda streets.
The immediate cause of the fire was
the oyerturning Of gasoline stove.
This brought out the members Of the
fire department. After a few minutes
work. believing they had effectually
squelched the flames, were ready to
quit when the fire broke out anew, the
flames belching through the front of
the drug store and before any headway
could be made against the new danger,
the flames had penetrated through the
adjoining walls of the Ross hotel.
The doom of the camp was foreshad-
owed in the streaks of flames that
licked fiery tongues on all sides of the
hotel, seemingly at once, and then as
if in fit of frolicsome devilishness,
darting hither. thither and yon, up and
down Nevada street, up the one side
and then with fiendish frenzy marking
its march of desolation up and down
the other side.
The mon who make camps like Raw
hide are not of the class who waste
time in experiments in the face of
known danger. There was practically
no water available with which to fight
the fire and Immediately dynamite was
resorted to, in an effort to blaze trail
across which the flames could not
each.
1t was little short Of miraculous, con-
sidering the chances men took with the
exploding dynamite, that there were
no fatalities. Men rushed into one
building and another in almost every
instance vainly, endeavoring TO save
not only their own but their neighbors
portable valuables. 1t is almost a
waste of words TO attempt to picture
the excitement which amounted to fren-
zy. Men who had grown gray facing
the dangers of the frontier; men whose
locks had whitened under the madden
ing bitterness of the icy blasts of the
Yukon and those whose cheeks were
grizzled and scared with the scorching
breath Of the desert were alike in their
despair at their helplessness to save
the doomed camp.
With both sides of Nevada street
ablaze, it was with in abandon border
ing on the manaical that every man
and every woman in the camp too,
fought to place check before the de-
vouring flames which were sending in
to nothingness all they fought so hare

Rawhide lies blaekened smoul-
dering ruin, a fire, which started
Friday morning at $50, having.
in brief space of an hour and
half, licked up the nine business
blocks which constituted the busi-
ness heart of the camp. Every
business building of any con-
sequence, except those of the
Rawhide Press-Times and the
Nevada Hotel, were destroyed.
The loss by the fire is various
~ estimated at from $500, 900 to
$720. 900 on buildings alone, with
practically no insurance. No at
tempt is made at this time to es-
innate losses on the stock carried
by the merchants. The figures
given merely approximate the
value of the buildings destroyed.
The origin of the fire was the
,yerturning of a gasoline stove.

"ERMINIE" At NATIONAL.

'Erminie." the Francis Wilson comic
opera success, will be the Offering for The
tenth week OF the summer opera season
at the New National, starting next Mon
DAY night. Like Robin Hood and other
operas OF which the Aborns have given
Washington splendid reproductions, "Er-
mimic" is another specimen Of real comic

stress on both the comic" and the
opera" Both in the bright, fluent tune
fulness OF its score by Edward Jaco-
bowski, and in the sparkling humor and
clean-cut Wit In its libretto and lyrics. by
Harry Paulton, 'Erminie" represents all
that is worthy in comic opera-qualities
that have rightly given this piece its long
and prosperous life. II was in the oppor-
tunlties offered in this opera that Pauline
Hall was elevated 10 the rank Of operatic
stardom, and on account OF her fame
gained In the title role Of Erminie,
Messrs. Aborn have arranged for her ap-
pearance at the New National at the
head Of an attractive array Of popular
artists. This will be Miss Halls first re-
turn in some years TO the part in which
she made her first great success. The
other principal characters Of 'Erminie'
are admirably suited 10 the members Of
the Aborn organization. and viii offer
suitable roles 10 many favorites who viii
return 70 the Aborn forces IN Washington
after a long absence. Such names as
Huntington May, Phil Branson, Harold
Blake. Sol Solomon, Charles W. Meyer.

MIME" and will doubtless attract en-
thusiastic patronage from the hosts Of
admirers Of these singers and comedians

number OF consecutive weeks over their
