LOSS Is NEAR MILLION
For Forty Hours Fire RACES While
Every Effort Is Made to Check
Flames Sweeping Through
Reservation.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 20.-Three
hundred farmers and timber men to-
day fought vainly a great forest fire
three miles wide which swept through
the splendid fir and tamarack timber
north and west of Lake Occur d.
Alene.
For forty hours the fire defied all
the efforts to check it. The fire to.
night was about 25 miles southeast
of Spokane, burning a path three
miles wide. For every mile it is esti-
mated that 100000 worth of fine
timber Is destroyed. The total loss
thus far is more than a million doll
qrS.
There are no white settlers on the
idaho side, the flames there being
confined to the newly opened reser-
walton for which drawing was held
ten days ago. On the Washington
side Of the boundary the fire has been
in the timber owned by the Black
we'll Lumber company.

Mine Owners must. Pay.

Helena.-1t is the opinion Of the
attorney-general in reply to a query
from the Lewis and Clark county
board of equalization that improve
ments on mining claims are not i'm
mune from taxation under the author
ity of Hale versus Jefferson county.
1O1 Pacific, 973, as was contended by
the Bald Butte and the Piegan-Gloster
mining companies. He says:
1.-The fact that the mines may not
be in operation at present would not
necessarily destroy all the value OF
the machinery and improvements sit
uated thereon, and they would still
be liable for assessment at their &C
tual value the same as similar ma
chinery held by a merchant in stock
and which was .<ot actually being used
for any purpose"
