Fire at the North Star

A fire which started before
daylight Saturday morning last
in the framework of the shaft at
the North Star mine totally de-
stroyed the hoist, the track and
chute to the ore bins, causing "a
financial loss of between one and
two thousand dollars to the
Golden Star Mining Company.
1t was only through the prompt
ness and strenuous work of M.
A. Wardner, the superintendent,
and his force of amateur fire
fighters that the devastation of
the entire group of buildings,
including the mill, was averted.
The cause of the fire has not yet
been ascertained, although the
officials have been following a
clew which seems to point to in
cendiarism. A night shift which
was at work when the blaze
broke out narrowly escaped
death, egress through the main
shaft being cut off by the falling
Of heavy burning timbers. The
men finally made their escape to
the outer air through an old and
seldom used shaft. Operations
at the mill will probably be in
terrupted for ten days or two
weeks while repairs are being
made.

pHshed. and prove very beneficial with
