BURY FIRE VICTIMS
In DEEP TRENCHES
Hundreds Are Believed to Have Per-
ished i'm Fire That Swept Over
Hundreds of Square Miles of Nor
thern Ontario

HAILEYBURY, Ontario, Aug. l.
Scores of victims of the great forest
fire which swept hundreds of square
miles of northern Ontario were bur-
led today in deep trenches. There is
every indication that the total casual
tiles will not be ascertainable Re
lief workers believe that hundreds
perished.
The greatest loss of life occurred at
Nushka and Monteith, partly in ruins,
where SO persons were burned to
death. At Matheson 35 perished. Iro-
quois Falls, where great paper mills
are located, was not entirely burned
as reported last night The paper
mills and one store we're saved from
the flames There was no serious
damage at Englehart, although one
or two fires occurred. At Timmins,
II houses were burned down.
Where the town of Matheson once
stood there are only smouldering
ruins and ashes. The country sur
rounding it is as barren as a desert.
Only few structures in the village of
Cochrane remain standing.
