northern ontario points are to the
effect that the forest fires, which for
several days have swept over Sec
ton of country extending 300 miles
northward from North Bay and COW
ering a wide section east and west
either have been extinguished or are
under control.
No further extensive damage or
lose of life is expected. The fire
swept clean the townships of Lang
muir, Eldorado, Shaw, Deloro, Ogden,
Macarthur and Cripple Creek dis
tricts. Z
The known dead total 1872, the ma
jority of whom lost their lives at
South Porcupine and estimates based
upon unverifed reports run as high
as 400.
Refugees from the burned area say
that it covers 10000 square miles,
comprising a district that housed
10000 people.

days and perhaps weeks before any
accurate idea of the total number OF
dead is available
