SERIOUS FIRES.
AT COPPER CENTER
Chitina, March 16th. Special to
the News.
A . serious fire occurred at
Copper Center last night when
the roadhouse farm and store
houses owned by John MoCrary
were totally destroyed.
The fire was caused by creo
sote in the stove pipe, and had
reached a ep'^at height before
awakening Murdoch MacLean
who \^,s the only occupant of
the house and escaped by jump
ing from the second story in
his underwear. He was wakened
by the noise of cartridges ex
ploding.
The loss' is estimated at forty
thousand dollars, for in addition
to buildings, stock of provisions
and furs and twenty quarters
of beef which had been raised
on the place, were destroyed.
Mr. McCrary, who has the
mail contract between Chitina
and Gulkana, was absent on a
mail trip. A small insurance
was carried.
Although he is very much up
set at this tremendous loss, it
is Mr McCrary’s intention to
rebuild as soon as possible.
McCrary’s place was one of
the finest on the Fairbanks
trail, and the fruit of nearly
twenty years of labor on the
part of the family. Everybody
1 in the Copper River Valley is
sympathizing with them.
