streets and Broadway were consumed
in the most sensational fire New York
has seen for years.
Bursting into flames in the early
morning the Equitable building, which
was supposed to be fireproof, soon
became a raging furnace. The fire
soon spread to other structures in the
block, and menaced the whole of the
downtown financial section through
the burning brands which high wind
swept through the canyons of lower
Manhattan.
Entire Department Out.
For the first time in the history OF
the borough every piece of fire fight
ing apparatus on the island was called
out, and firemen, their faces scorched
by the leaping flames, fought desper-
ately in the narrow streets to stay the
progress of the fire.
At the height of the fire bodies Of
men were seen falling from the fifth
floor of the building, and, striking the
street, were covered with piles of de-
bris before the firemen could rush tt
the rescue. So suddenly were they
buried that not even their number
could be ascertained Just how many
perished probably will not be known

HARD ROCK IN
 THE |D|TTROD
"caribou Bill" Deetering Strikes Ledge Which Shows Up
 $400 Rock.

Tales of a rich quarlZ strike in the Iditarod country have been confirmed. The discovery Wa, made al the head of Flat creek by Caribou Bill DrrIrriuG. wllu has been working the ground for thr past lhr"r years. There has been stampede to the >rrnr of tn" strike. and all of the hills ilh>" been Siakrd by prnSpcct"r> wh" hope tn pick up an extension on the new find.
 The discovery Was made sn:Ii. time ago and samples from the ledge were sent tO Fairbanks for a say, and Il was not until re- turns had been received from the up river camp that the find was made public. The assay returns show that the quartz will yield better than SiOn 10 the ton, and alth"ugh il will prove a costly proposition tn erect a mill and mine the ore. il is thought that the property will Dc a paying one from the start on account of Inc richness of the ore.
 The ledge is believed to br tbr source of the rich placer dcpoS- it's that are now being mined on Flat, and though the erosion has been great in the hills al inc head of Flat. still there is no sign of base metal in the quartz and il is q distinctly fr"c-milling propuSi- lion.
 Caribou Bill says he will work immediately on the find and will spend the coming winter doing development work. with the idea of installing stamp mill in the spring if conditions warrant.
