The forest supervisor reports the entire country between Wallace and the St. John river is swept practically clean und the loss of limber is stupendous. Fires between Burke and Mullan threaten both towns tonight and many women and children are being sent away. "With daylight a relief expedition will be organized to go to Placer and Big Creeks' where the fire fighters' camps are located. These men have been scattered over the country, driven hither and thither by the flames. At War Kagle tunnel, three miles from Wallace, six dead were found aud two were badl burned, five of the dead in the tunnel had sought refuge. They lay with their faces down in the water, covered with wet rags and blankets and had died partly from the fire and partly from suffocation by smoke. The injured in-jured were relieved with olive oil and brought to the hospitals, At Big Creek. 12 dead were recovered, two injured and three unfortunates un-fortunates who were completely blinded. One fire fighter was found dead near Mullen and sixteen who were more or less seriously burned. At Pine Creek three are dead, five blinded and five otherwise other-wise injured. It is impossible to learn the names of the dead, most of whom came in from Spokane and other points at the call of the forestry for-estry service. The bodies are being buried wherever they are found. Days and weeks may elapse before anything like a complete estimate of the fatalities is available. Fires are still burning around the oily, but mosf of the hillsides facing the town are now burned off and unless the wind rises it is believed to be comparatively safe. Two or three hundred people are left homeless in Wallace, many having lost their belongings. A thick pall of smoke still hangs over the eily and a watch is being kept at points near danger.
