Millions in Property Losses.

The property losses will be heavy, even now ranking into the millions. Two hundred square miles of area are already believed swept, and the flames are spreading unchecked into the vir- gin forests that surround the' fire zone. Only sporadic attempts are made to check the flames, being in back-iring that for a time slaves off the flames sweeping down upon some little town or doomed settlement.
 It is difficult to estimate the num- Der of towns burned out, but late re- port confirms the report that Wallace, Idaha. came through the flames safe, with only fearful scar. A large part of the town was burned with a loss of more than s10o0,o00 and ten deaths are known to have occurred.
 The town of SyiVanite, in Lincoln county, has been destroyed and the flames are approaching Libby, along Wolf and Foreman creeks. Whitefish also is in the danger zone Neidhart, Mont, is reported burning. Saltese, Haughan, Stregis and Adair were in the path of the flames. but since com. munieation with these places had been interrupted their fates are unknown.
 The area covered is about 200 miles square, most of it in the mountains and sparsely settled. It is difficult to obtain information from any of the points and impossible to reach some of the isolated places at all.
