b'lHE KENNECOTT
This afternoon a most disastrous
fire broke out in the power plant
of the Kennecott Copper Corpora
tion resulting in the total loss
of the plant, at an estimate of be
tween 1,500000 and 2,000000 dol
jars loss. The fire began about
three fifteen on the top side ol
number four boiler and in two
minutes it was a roaring infer
no of smoke and flame, bearly
giving time to the men on shift
to make good their escap *.
The mill, machine shop, and a
number of the emloyees residen
ces in the immediate vicinity
escaped with a similar fate thro
the promptitude of the men and
their heroic efforts after the
first alarm was sounded. We ex
tend our sympathy to Mr. and
Mrs.Lamell, whose house was
burnt to the very ground and
through it being situated next
door to that part °f the power
plant ware the fire first began
they were unable to save it.
We fear that owing to this ca
lamity, there will be quite a lot
of the men thrown out of work,
not only at the Kennecott mines
but also at tit Green Butte, as
all their power was supplyed by
the Kennecott plant, consequent
ly all operations in bo h camps
are at a standstill ami without
lights.
The McCarthy fire brigade im
mediately answered tin* Corpora
tions signal of distress, and ren
vali ible assistance.
“NOTICE”
Mr. Marshall conveys his sin
cere thanks to the citizes of Me.
Carthy, in giving their timely
courteous services in helping
him to extinguih a lire on his
