Toronto, Ont-Several hundred
lives and millions Of dollars
worth of property have been wiped
out as the result of the forest fires
raging in the Porcupine district in
northern Ontario.
Only three of the eighty-four en-
ployes of the West Dome mine have
been accounted for and 200 miners,
muckers and other workers in the
Dome mine have been suffocated
Among the dead are Robert Weiss,
manager of the West Dome mine. and
his wife and child.
The Philadelphia mines loss is
about $4,000; the United Porcupine's.
$4,000; the Standards, about $4O,-
900; the Imperial's, about $4,000. and
the West mines about $4,000. All
the buildings of the Eldorado, Porcu-
pine and the Success were destroyed.
All reports give but vague idea
of the loss of life and property in Por-
cupine camp, which probably will total
hundreds of lives and millions of
dollars.
In just four hours the fire swept
from the Standard mines through to
the shores of Porcupine lake, where
it ate up the towns of South Porcu-
pine and Pottsville and part of Golden
City, as we'll as many small buildings
