SOUTH CKEEDE , Col , June 6.
Creede , the newest and most famous
of Colorado's mining camps , is in
ruins : ind the loss will aggregate
$1,000,000 while hundreds of families
are tonight homeless. The fire start
ed in a saloon at Main and Cliff streets
at 5:40 tL'is mornin ? and in a short
time the entire town was in ashes.
The fire swept up Chimney gulch be
fore a strong wind , and. house after
house took fire and added to the blaze.
The dry wooden houses , cabins ,
burned like kindling and the air was
filled with a dense smoke and innum
erable sparks. The gulch was like
a furnace and the frightened citizens
were driven before the ilames like
frightened sheep.
Owing to the largo number of sa
loons in camp liquors were free and
hundreds of men took advantage of it
and filled themselves , with the natur
al consequence of a drunken crowd
who have so far done no damage.
Some acts of thieving have taken
place and already two buildings are
Slled with arrested parties.
Just three hours after the fire star
tled every building in the gulch from
Brainered and Bettso's hotel south
nearly 2000 feet and east and west
nearly 1,000 feet , and including build
ings on First and Mesa streets and on
both hills , were burned to the ground.
The fire started from : m explosion of
coal oil in the Kinneavy block. The
terrible heat and close proximity of all
the buildings to each other soon car
ried the flames through the length of
the gulch and then spread to the hills
on each side , fully 100 feet each way.
The insurance will be about $200,000.

Spartansburg and Newtontown give
way. A great volume of water came
down Oil creek , overflowing its banks
and flooding the city as far north as
Spring street , extending south half a
mile inundating a large portion of the
city. It is estimated that thirty-five
to fifty people are drowned. The
large refineries caught fire. The
burning oil floated down the stream
and set fire to everything in its path.
Twenty-five dwellings and business
houses were destroyed. The water
works w < ? re under water and there
were no means of fighting the flames.
As near as can be gathered from re
ports as they come in , the loss by
destruction of property will aggregate
fully $1,500,000. All this loss is in
this city , with the surrounding coun
try yet to be heard from. A largo
number of the most extensive and
prosperous manufacturing establish
ments now lay in ashes , and hundreds
of homes and
business places are
wiped out , while the streets are filled
with a crowd of hungry , homeless ,
weeping and distracted people mourn
ing the loss of loved ones who have
perished in the rush of waters or the
fiery billows of flame which engulfed
them almost in the twinkling of an
eye as they were struggling in the
vain'endeavor to save their homes.
Came "When all Were Sleeping
This sudden avalanche of water de
scending when most of the inhabitants
were sleeping , completely and at once
shut them off from the higher portions
of the city. Notwithstanding this
state of affairs , the danger to the city
was underrated , no one having the
slightest idea that the flood , dangerous
as it was , was to be soon augmented
by fire. This , however , was true , for
at 2 o'clock this morning immediately
following three terrific explosions
which shook the city to its centre , a
great light went up from the direction
of the Crescent refinery , located on the
north side of the creek in the east end
and owned by John Schwartz & Co. A
second look showed the entire plant to
be one vast sheet of solid flame , the
light from which illuminated a full
half a mile of surrounding blackness
and showed to the assembly of horri
fied spectators the full extent of the
great calamity that had befallen their
beautiful city.
A Scene of Terror.
Tongues of flame shooting 200 feet
and more straight into the heavens ,
the shrieks and agonizing cries of the
helpless human beings caged in their
dwellings 'like rats in a trap in the
middle of the rushing and mighty
water and within the very shadow of
death from burning oil , benzine and
naptha that threatened at any time to
engulf them , the shrill whistling of a
hundred and one steam whistles , the
jangle of the fire bell , the clatter of
the steamers , hose carts and hook and
ladder trucks , the crackle , roar , rush
and rumble of the huge body of water
and sky-piercing flame all went to
strike terror to the strongest heart.
It is impossible to give an estimate
as to the number missing. It runs
Into the hunireds and without doubt
fully double the number enumerated
above will bo found dead. The night
is dark and rainy , yet the streets are
filled with people.

people. The motor in some man

In this he failed , for they fell directly

SEAVAKD , June 7 , 1892.
To all who have the welfare of Ne
braska at hea'rt , and especially the cit
izens of the counties hereafter men
tioned , Greeting :
Having received at the hands of your
commissioner general , a commission as
one of the three superintendents of Ne
braska's agricultural exhibit at the
Columbian Exposition , and charged
with the duty of rendering the people
of juy district all possible assistance in
preparing and exhibiting our agricul
tural products , I beg leave to say that
I am duly impressed with the. respon
sibility placed upon my shoulders , and
I can only hope to faueeeed if I can se
cure the hearty co-operation of the
good people of these magnificent coun
ties. We have resources that will
place us at the front if wo will but
si. T rnnnr iififi nf tlu m. Vnni
commissioner general asked the ques
tion , "How do you like your territory ? "
My answer is this , could 1 choose from
all North America I would not know
where to do better.
The world renowned traveller and
writer , Bayard Taylor , taid that "Ne
braska , Iowa and Kansas presented the
largest area of excellent farming land
in one tract in all the world. " And
these couutios are of the very Debt of
the one grand state that star.ds pre
eminently ut the front. Thtsu it is
universally conceded that the gcr.eral
intelligence of our penple is cyuil to
that of the most favored bpoio of
Christendom.
Then why should we not have a
grand exhibit ? Wo can if we try.
Let us try our best. I am to be 3 oar
ser/ant , and I will try my best to serve
you well. If you take hold of the mat
ter with earnest zeal , v/a will all be
proud of our favored home when we
corne to face the world at Chicago.
I am assured that we will hav ? the
untiring efforts of our commissioner
general , and the entire membership of
the commission , and we trust that the
State Board of Agriculture will cheer
fully grant us all possible assistance.
We look for the most valuable helps
from the county agricultural societies.
Then we must have much pecuniary
assistance from county boards. That
is , they must help their own counties !
We must , look for friendly legislation
at the hands of our next legislature ,
We must secure the assistance of the
most potent power for good or ill , "The
Press.1 The state press and the local
press must be pressed into service.
The greatest and most important
factor of all is the man at the plow.
He must be thoroughly enlisted. He
must make the show. All the rest of
us can do is to help him. Let us roll
up our sleeves now and go in to win.
I will mobt cheerfully answer all
correspondence and shall aim to be
among you many times to counsel with
you and render you all the assistance
in our power.
