Toronto, Ont, July 12.-As the re-
suit of the forest fires that are sweep
ing unchecked through Northern On
tario. at least fifty lives are lost,
many have been injured, hundreds
are missing. and it is feared scores
OF these will be included in the ia
talities.
Thirty lost their lives at Porcu-
pine
Fifteen men were drowned at
South Porcupine when they were
driven into the lake by. the dense.
clouds of smoke and rolling wave
OF fire
Two men were burned to death at
RI Dorado mine and another met a
similar fate at the United Porcupine
mines. Cochrane, South PorCupine and
PittsVille have been wiped off the
map and hundreds of refugees are
facing starvation.
Houses Are Dynamited.
Golden City was surrounded by
flames for hours and is still in dam
ger, though only the suburbs have
burned. Part of Tisdale has been
wiped out. the fire only being con-
trolled by dynamiting a dozen houses
in the middle OF the town.
Two special trains have been sent
to bring in the distressed from the
Tisdale district.
Communication with stricken dis
tricts is exceedingly difficult.
Flames Without Warning.
The flames swept down on South
Porcupine and Pittsville almost with
out warning. The alarm came just
in time for the people to rush for
the lake. but they were forced to
abandon all of their belongings. Gas
olne boats, rowboats and even hastily
improvised RATS were utilized to get
the refugees across the lake to Cold
en- City. There all. with other sur
viyorS of the fires in the north, are
at present fighting back the fire
which scorched the outskirts of thar
place. Provisions in Golden City are
scant
Government Laborers Flee.
Laborers employed in the Ontario
governments new railroad line, from
Golden City west. reached the place
after desperate fight with the
flames. in which many were badly
burned. They lost everything but
the clothes they wore.
The town of Kelso was abandoned
