All the macninery, houses, der- ricks and everything consumable has been destroyed. The loss is more than $500,000. The fire was due to the act ®f a boy lighting a cigarette in the tank house near the well. There was an explosion and in & moment the place was in flames. The well has been flowing 2000 barrels of oil a day and the ground is saturated with oil for a considerable | distance around the well. In a few moments the flames had covered the slight distance between the tankhouse | and the well and with a roar that could be heard for a considerable distance the well was on fire. As quickly as possible the alarm was given, though it was scarcely neces- sary, for the flames which shot into the sky told their own story. In a wonderfully brief space of time every able-bodied man in the field was on the scene ready to do what he could | to check or extinguish the flames. But | quick as the men were, the flames were quicker, and in a few moments they had licked away everything in the im- mediate vieinity. The engine-house, tankhouse, der- | ricks, machinery and all the buildings near the well were destroyed in an mazingly short time. The heat was terrific and made it impossible for the fire fighters to do very effective work on the well itself, but they succeeded | n preventing the flames from spread- ing too rapidly after the most heroic efforts. The filre was fought with steam, which is recognized as the most effective method in such cases. It was with great difficulty that steam pipes were run into the well. From the beginning of the fire the greatest fear was felt lest the flames should reach well No, 2, which s con- sidered the greatest gusher of ofl in the world to-day. The distance between wells No. 1 and No. 2 is about a quar- ter of a mile, but the ground is pretty well soaked with oil, the fire fighters therefore making their stand on this intervening space. The fire is now thoroughly under control. R N FIERCE FOREST FIRES. Flames Destroy Valuable Timber and Vegetation Near Ben Lomond.
