Winpsor, Oct. 18.—The town af Wind-

The | fire fiend, started on his avful errand of destruction by a couple of Saturday drunkards, wiped out bait the townsuip aud four-fifths of the main part of the town. Hardly a single place of business remaing, and between 400 and 500 build- ings are in ashes today. A district nearly a wile in length by balf amuile io widtn is nothing bu. a mass of smoking embers,

The cause was a drunken roisterers match.

How cid_so awful a calamity come upon so fair a towo ? The ans*er is easy. ‘I'he conflagration started from the match of a drunken brawler in a shanty controlied by George Fletcher, a colored restaurant keeper and barber at the rear of the Maine block and the greedy flames spread with lightning rapidity because the wind was high and Windsor had uo adequate tire fighting apparatus.

It was a liitle after 3 o’clock on Sunday morning wheo the fire bell was rung be- cause some one saw the flames in th Maine block. In less time than it taks. to tell it the Maine block was in flame The gale was a hurricane. The fire was leaping from the Maine block and wha: was far worse hugh cinders were carried acrose the sleeping town as large as tur- nips. They were whisked turough the black air and lodgei piteously on the roofs all around.

Away down from the Maine Block, a quarter of a mile nearly, is the Windsor foundry, and it was only a moment after the flames darted from the roof and win-

THE LAND OF GOLD.

Claims Werth $50,000,000 are Already Staked Out in the Klondike District.

Seatrie, Wash., October 15.—Patrick Galvin, who is recognized as one of. the bonanza kings of the Klondike, where he has been fur the past three years engaged in mining, reviewing the gold regions of the forth, estimating their probable out- put, said :

“ There are 461 claims which bave been operated sufficiently to prove their richness, There are 280 claims already staked out, but not developed. By reason of their loca- tion near other claims already shown to be very rich, have no doubt they will prove equal to the other 461.

“ Taking these claims and figuring o:t their cubic contents and making a con~ servative estimate, Ido not see why the output from theee claims alone will fall short of $50,000,600. -

yt. Galvin unhbesitatingly declared that nothing which had been published so fxr as he knew ever approximated the truth, or what is really known of the great gold fields.

The steamer City of Topeka, from Juneau, Alaska, had among her passengers J. F»Maloney, of Junean, who came out from’ Vaweon with the Galvin party. Ma- loney said :

“Hunter Creek and Gold Bottom Creek, it ie gonceded will equal if not rival the now faincus Bonanza and Eldorado Creeks. More especially is this true of Hunter Creek. Location No. 33 on that creek is among the richest in the Klondyke dis- trick :

ay ny of the claims of this district will

run $2,000 to the box. On No. 30, Eldor- ado, Alex. McDonald’s claim, sne man in a shift anda balf, which is about 12 hours shovelled in $20,000.

“Qn Skookum gulch, which enters Bonanza No. 3, above Dircovery, on locations Nos. i and 2, I saw $30,000 weighed out of two box lengths.”

Mr..Malozey saw @ 16-quart brass kettle filled with gold dust in the cabin of R. T. Dinsdtore: Barry Spence, Bil] McFee and others. No, 31, Bonanza, owned by Osear Ashley and Billy .jueake, will produce $1,000,000.

Ten days after the boat left for down the river, taking the gold, the North American ‘Transportation and Trading’ Co, had $250,000 in its safe at Dawsou. This sbows how rapidly the gold accumulates.

“Mr. Maloney says that over $2,000,000 will come out this fall.

“There are stacks and stacks of gold,” he said, “each with the owner's name on it. Alex. McDonald will prodnce the largest amount.

“7 hesitate to give figures, but the simple truth is that his various interests will yield from $2,000,000 $4,000,000 this winter.”

Don’t wait to be frostbitten into a remembrance of your blanket wants, while we are sbowing astock manufactured to our own special order, genuine bed heaters, redolent of warmth and comfort.—Jas Paton & Co.
