AERONAUTS LOST IN LAKE, BELIEF GOLDFIELD LAID WASTE BY FLAMES FIRE. WIPES QUT ‘Y HISTORIC MINE CAMP OF WEST Charred Ruins Mark Site Of Landmarks Known To Gold-Seekers. GOLDFIELD, Nev., July 7. «(By The Associated Press). +—-Goldfield, once a synonym for fabulous wealth, quick fortunes, gambling and all the raw hurry and bustle of a ‘western boom town, is but another name for desolation today. The desert blew a windy blast yesterday, fanned a fire which officials said had been set as an episode in a boot- leggers’ feud, and swept the flames from end to end of the community. 4® a result, one man is dead, a woman is reported missing and dam- ago est'mated at possibly $1,500,000 was done. € v the sportsmen the streets of houses known the prospectors and ho flocked thither to Gans-Nelson -I'ghtweight n 1906, only half <8 remain today, Of feld_ hotel, where min: er) In nuncracked boots used to dress sy ted promoters dancing ssawnen NSRRNTOHIa Ie ai ns, stands alone. fire started across the this structure escaped virtually unscathed, Other buildings standing are the ra'lroad station; postoffice, the old John 8, Cook and Company bank bu‘lding. where many @ man who had sold a claim or “struck 't rich,” purchased drafts to defray the expenses of a trip outside; {fhe Elks club and the hospital, ‘whence Dr. Charles R. Blake and his wife yesterday carried ten patients— all there were—when the flames threatened to take it. The rest is waste, charred walls, #mouldering ashes and smoking ruins. Goldfield gave the flames a hard battle. Water, piped 30 miles from a spring in the mountains and dyna- mite, from the stores of mines and the magazines of supply houses were ‘sed against them. But the water supply wag inadequate, the dynamite nly made fresh kindling out of the {flimsy structures on which it was used, and the leaping wind carried } flames and sparks ahead until even | the fire fighters’ last line of defense, @ row of more stable structures, in- cluding the Goldfield hotel, the Elks club and the postoffice, had been over leaped, though these buildings did mot burn. Though for years Goldfield, which was once a city of 25,000, had more , houses than its dwindling population needed, last night there were not roof for the thousend that remained when the fire started, but there was food, regardless of the fact that all the town’s supply of edibles had been »,Hestroyed. From Tonopah, from other Nevada cities, even from California, went food, clothing and other relief to the stricken town. Tonopah alone sent truck load after truckload of food and other necessaries, commencing even before the flames were out. Last night hundreds of refugees huddled on the hillsides, amid what possessions they had been able to n the from it wave, or slept as best they could in| rehabilitated miners’ shacks on the outskirts of the city. Others went by train or automobile to Tonopah, s! ter city of the desert, 30 miles away. They carried word that they and those left behind would rebuild their city. abhi hoes da a Showers Are Forecast For Coming Week WASHINGTO!
