and one of the largest plants of its
kind in Canada, burned to the ground.
smelter, covering 10 acres OF ground,
The loss is $75O,OOO. Nothing was
saved except the seven miles of cable
running from the smelter to the Silver
King mine on Lode mountain, the tall
200 feet high, and the one-story build
ing used as an Office. Everything else,
the huge smelters, the tramway termi-
nal and dump, the assay Office, the
boarding house and numerous smaller
buildings, are tangles of burned timber
and twisted iron.
The Hall Mines smelter was formerly
used to treat ores of the Silver King
mine and other famous properties on
Lode mountain, Morning mountain and
the adjacent territory, and employed
hundreds of men. 1t has not been OPP
Grated for five years, but a Vancouver
syndicate promoted by r. S. Lennie of
Vancouver lately effected a consolida-
ton of the Lode mountain properties,
acquiring the mines and smelter. The
last payment on the properties was
made only last week, and E. Nelson Sell
of Vancouver had just completed sur
vey of the plant and mines with view
to recommending the best plan of opera
ton.
The incendiary has shown utmost per-
sistency. At noon Saturday a watch
man discovered a fire in the smelter
which he thoroughly quenched and ar
ranged for extra guards. At 0 clock
p. m, just after he had made a round
of. the buildings, fire broke out and
within a few minutes the plant was a
blazing furnace.
There is no clue to the incendiary.
Previous to the fire the city posted pla-
cards offering $500 reward for informa.
ton leading to apprehension of the cul-
prit. In spite of extra constables and
utmost vigilance on the part of citi-
zens the police are completely baffed.

Fourteen Injured Two Are Not Elk
pected to Survive.

Juneau, Alaska.-Eleven lives lost, IA
persons injured, two of whom are not

cred fro mthe ruins and five more are
