(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Tampa, Florida, Mar. 2? This city has been dealt a ter
rible blow by fire. The northend has been wiped out.
The fire broke out early last evening and swept with fear
ful rapidity before a gale blowing from the south. The
fire is comparable to any of the great fires of the country
relatives to the size of the city. The burned area embraces
fifty five acres and invaded the better section for half
that distance. All the fine summer resort hotels are in
ashes, cafes and lodging houses are wiped out in numbers
and Jiiindreds of people are made homeless. The burned
area is a mass of cinders and tangled wires. The militia
has been called out by the governor and placed on guard to
preventrthieving. Many business houses with their entire
stocks were destroyed. The loss will run into millions.
One death was caused by a falling wall. There were
many narrow escapes from death by fire.
Chicago, M*rcb, 2? A small army of
policemen were on guard yesterday
during the services in the catholic
churches of the city. Warning had
been given that there was to be an at
tempt to assassinate members of the
clergy all over the city and so much
credence was given the story that men
were detailed in number in all the cath
olic churches.
OLO HIES OK THE PORCUPINE
Mr. S. J. Witzman, of Haines, who
was In the city SaturJay, says there is
so much freighting on the trail out
townrd the Porcupine and Pleasant
Camp that old timers are reminded of
the days of '98. There are some, twenty
teams busily engaged in transporting
all manner of supplies needful to ihe
camps out that way. Men are flitting
up the trail with parkevs, horses and
do^s and the sound in the air every
where bear & close resemblance to those
that split the atmosphere above the
Chilcoot. The Porcupine Gold Mining
company and the Calhoun mining com
pany are both laying In heavy supplies
for the summer. Mr. Witzman is him
self, stocking up his trading post at
Wells, in anticipation of big business
this summer. The difference between
the freight rate of the winter and that
of the summer forms a pretty good
margin of profit in itself. It Is expect
ed that the mines at Rainy Hollow will
start up next month with ten men to
begin with. Mr. Witzman was just In
receipt of an order for transporting 300
tons to Porcnpine.
He says further that the Canadian
government is going to build a wagon
road from the boundary line tc Rainy
Hollow connecting with that built by
the road commission. The distance
they have to build is about twelve mile*'
This will make a large difference In the
freighting facilities.
