STUBBORN
 BLAZE IN
 BREWERY

The Juneau fire department was called out last night ct nine o'clock to fight a stubborn blaze in the Eagle Brewery which originated in Q packed wall back or the furnace.
 It is believed chat the fire had been smouldcrlng for at least 24 hours in the sawdust packing between the walls S. zynda, nephew of stephen Zynda. the proprietor. stated that he had smelled smoke around the place yesterday afternoon but had not paid any attention to it. The damage amounted Go about $500, hut it took the fire department two hours to ex- tinguisb the blaze, on account of its location.
 Tho alarm was turned in from the Cain Hotel by telephone. Harry Cain discovered his trunk room to be full Of smoke, and believing Che fire was there gave the warning. Frank Sar- gent and Guthrie Scott were first on the scene and attempted to locate the blaze in the trunk room, but after wards found 1t in the brewery.
 The flames were running up between the walls of the building, and on reaching the second floor jumped across between the floor and ceiling and up inside the other wall. It was necessary for the aremen to chop sev- eral holes in the walls and flooring to get at the blaze
 The stairway leading down to the furnace was burned out. the rafters were badly charred and will have to be replaced, and the walls were badly charred. None of the stock of the brewery was damaged and the only loss was to the building.
 After the fire had been extinguish- ed. two flremen were left on watch all night to guard against @ second blaze, and Frank Sargent. truck driver made regular tours of inspection every two hours to guard against fresh out break of the flames.
 The furnace in the brewery has not been lighted for several days but fire men suggest that live coal might have been dropped back of the fur mace. the last time it was fired, and lay smouldering in the packing of the wall until 1t burned a draft hole through. IF so it had probably been there for two or three days. The cir cumstance that smoke was smelled in the building yesterday afternoon has suggested this theory.
