B AD MINE FIRE
Mt. Marshall People Sustain $15,-
600 Fire Loss.
WILL PUT WORK BACK YEAR
Sad Looking Outfit Tramps Over
Snow to Civilization.

On Sunday morning, December II,
a disastrous fire visited the Mt. Mar
shall Mining q Milling Co., East
ern company operating in the Bear
Creek district, and as a result loss
of 81 5000 was entailed and work on
the property will be delayed year at
least, as most of the supplies that
were intended for consumption this
winter were destroyed, and much
hardware and supplies Of this nature
all went up in flames.
Ed. Luzadder, the superintendent
of the property, arrived in Grange
vile last week and gave the following
account of the fire.
Il was sitting in the main cabin
Sunday morning doing some cleri-
cal work and had occasion to visit the
opposite end and noticed blaze. used
fire extinguisher and put the same
out quite readily, but on going up
stairs found there was another out
break of flames that caught in the
hunks and was making rapid progress
in the loft, the lumber used to cell the
building being quite pitchy and very
infamable. | called to the Chinese
cook to bring me the other fire ex-
tinguisher and some water but the
blaze swept through the loft and it
was soon evident to me that the build
ing could not be saved, and the best
that could be done was to secure what
food we could. | shouted to the
Chink to grab some food and so hot
was the fire and rapid the destruction
of the building that all he was able to
secure was a little bread and some
cake. A pair Of snow shoes were
thrown out and this with quantity
of canned goods in the cellar was the
total Of the property stored in the
main cabin and bunk house that We
could save. There were four of us il
camp at the time and as all the cloth
ing, with the exception Of what We
had on our backs went up in smoke
it was mighty sorrowful looking
crowd that came out over the three
feet of snow to civilization. The
Chinaman was attired in blanket
and used as headgear red hand
kerchief; one of the men wore the
slicker suit used in working in the
tunnel and the others had rnbbel
shoes on and regular mucker's clothes
The loss to the company is consider
able as the building was two stories
built of sawed lumber, supplied witt
hot and cold water, and far above th'
average building Of this kind. w

it is utterly impossible to get in sup

some interesting Information relative TO
the inmates. amongst which we note:
Inc total number OF people committed
TO the institution; the increasing num-
Der committed for short sentences: the
removal OF the long term United States
prisoners remaining I'm the institution /:
and the fiuctuation i'm population at diff
ferent periods OF the year; each OF which
has its bearing I'm adding TO the difficult
ties OF operation.
The increased compensation allotted
the prisoners and the money set aside
under permission and direction OF the
common Council TO be used IN aiding the
families of prisoners seems TO meet with
universal approval. The health OF the
inmates has been particularly good and
~ the best evidence that regularity OF
living, plain wholesome food and habits
OF industry will do much towards re-
facilitating persons who have carelessly
or viciously allowed their health to be-
come impaired
