may be that the city will toe ba rebuilt and rise again from the ruins that now covers the canyon where it once stood but it will be years before it can fully recover if recovery is at all possible und under erthe the circumstances from the terrible visitation the lose it is conservatively ively estimated will aggregate more than a million dollars dollaus the actual insurance will not reach much more than a tenth of that amount insurance companies have long been chary about writing heavy policies there on account of the financial stress that has come upon the camp some have persistently refused to accept any risks there at all among them being H J grant co of this city not less than five hundred persons are homeless and destitute they must have assistance at once otherwise they will suffer greatly the distressing plight in which so many are placed is the result of a fire that had a very small beginning but which cut a very wide swath as it went forth by leaps and bounds on its

time timeto to save human beings from being cremated alive everything was licked by the flames as they swept up and down the canyon which now resembled a great fiery furnace which illuminated the heavens in all directions it Is impossible to 0 o into detailed description of the consuming conflagration it spread so no rapidly through the business district into the residence portion of the city as to make all efforts to extinguish it futile there was only one thing to do and that was to resort to dynamite in blowing up houses in order to cut off the material upon which the flames were feeding this was done to a good effect however appeals for help from the fire department part ment of salt lake ogden and coalville Co alville were made and responded to with a will each department sending all the men and equipment that could be spared they were conveyed on a special train from their respective cities to the scene of disaster as speedily as possible the salt lake department reached there at and the ogden soon afterwards all worked with a will but the fire fiend was master and continued devouring its work as long as there was anything to devour mr george W heintz of the r
