every man in the camp.
The flames spread rapidly from the
boiler room, through the mammoth
structure ,and destroyed all that por- j
tion of the building containing the
machine and forging shops . The rear (
portion of the building containing the |
acetyline and electric welding plants,)
and the gas house, were saved, as was ■
the bunk house ,adjoining the shops.
The only articles saved from hte.
machine shop were a lathe and a
shaping machine and the loose tools.
The heavy lathe and shaping mach
ine were dragged to a place of safety
by horses before the flames had con
sumed that portion of the building in
which they were housed. The huge
lifting crane may not be damaged be
yond repair.
