Heroic Efforts of thc Bucket Brigade* Alone Checks its Destructive Career. "i,it*t nc'foly all new'towns. Atlin hfp had her baptism of fire, and it is only "through the stoul. hearts "and willing arms of her people that she occupies a place on the map today., Such a fight against terrible odds has seldom been fought, and that it has been fought out and won against such desperate chances is surely matter for congratulation. As a stranger lady remarked when things __ were .at their warmest ���. "You Atlin men are a' band of heroes.'' ' The warning' was rung out at half-past 5 o'clock on Sup- day, and a dense cloud of smoke issuing from the British-America* . - - t. Corporation warehouse,.- attracted ��� all steps thitherwards. ' It was at once,seen that the fire was going to be a big one.- The first two men on the ground with'fire extinguishers were "J. * Lr'^Wallace-and-BT" Dixon,"'^whq7.happened-to be in the 'Rothesay Bay at the time. The heat was so intense, and the flames spread so raj .idly, that both extinguishers were left iu the middle of the street and a rush made to the hotel portion of the big block. Several attempts were made to go. uj stairs to save the personal effects of "Sandy" MacPherson and \V. Bluikie," but it was too late. On openi *g tlie door leading into the '(.lining room the blacke��'. of smoke ��� tnr ��� pa per Miioke���came bclchi r.g forth and was a warning to desist. A minute later and the flames appeared in the hall-way licking up everything in their course and treating- fire extinguishers with contempt. It was all ^.ver, and the B..-A. buildings and the Rothesay Bay adjoining, were one mass of flames, fanned by a fierce wind from the south, town wards. Scarcely anything was saved,, the barkeepers, "Sandy" and Walter, retaining only the clothes they stood in. Anderson's barber shop to the wesi went next in short order. At this stage gangs of men were formed into line, buckets passed from hand to hand, and an attempt made to save Rose's' building on the north ofthe B. A. C. ' This was soon abandoned and suggestions made to blow up the block. But before this could be accomplished tht flames were carrying it heavenwards. ��� In the Ii. A. C. warehouse were several quarter kegs.of black powder and frequent explosions . were llie result, throwing masses of burning debris 'across the street and setting fire to the*, footpath, trees and 'houses there, and "in a few minutes Hirsch field's photographic studio, Miss Simson's old* store, Mr. . Fetherstonhaugh's assay office, Mr. Rose's dwelling- '.house,' and several small cabins, were sheeted in flame. .* , -; The fire was now on both sides of* TRirst street, and running before the wind, and the prospect'was appalling for a clean wipe out of the town. The buildings were dry and had:a deal of tar papei and other combustible matter, in their make- up. , ' ' The O. K. hotel on tlie east side of First street, occupied by Broder's restaurant, and the Board of Trade building adjoining, were . the next to go, when a- futile attempt ,>vas made to blow up the former with dynamite.-* ,- . By this time .the. steamer Scotia ���at -tfcffe -Pearl--street- dockvhad 7 Her pumps to work'and supplied the bucket;brigade well. Captain" -Nickerson's general store, next to the Board of Trade, soon followed suit, .'vomiting, flames so fiercely that near approach was impossible. At this point the utter destruction of'the town seemed a foregone conclusion, but the boys stuck to their work well. Faster and faster-came the buckets of water' along the chains of men. Mounted on the roof of the Olympic were Jack Kirkland; Tom -Switzer, and a few other daring fellows, iii au atmosphere of smoke which would have paralyzed a salamander. Nobly they stuck to their post, knowing full well that if the Olympic caught it was goodbye to Atlin. On the opposite side of the street an exactly similar battle was being fought. The next building in the line of the fire was the assay office of the Bank of Halifax, adjoining the stately * bank building. This, with lhe Olympic hotel opposite, were the two crucial points which must be preserved at all hazards, and here, as on the other side, the manhood of Atlin did not fail. �� GENERAL HARDWARE, CROCKERY, GLASSWARE AND. WALL PAPERS. ALL KINDS OF TINSMITH WORK PROMPTLY .ATTENDED TO. . . A LARGE SUPPLY OK ASBESTOS CLOTH IN STOCK." Corner of First and Pearl Street, ATLIN. Dozens of blankets were procured and hastily spread over the roof of the assay office, another gang got to work passing the buckets along, while a couple of Dixons Bros.' and Brook's , carts hurriedly brought, barrels of water to ��� the scene. ��� Conspicuously mounted on the top, of the roof of ' the .assay office," - and dashing the wafer where it would do most good, 'were Tom Dixon and Captain" J. Martin, of Spruce Creek, who happened to be 'in town on a visit. The roaring, seething, crackling mass of flame . from Nickerson's store) close at hand, seemed reaching, out its vast arms, octupus like,' to catch them, occasional puffs of wind would- send it sweeping high over the-r heads. The terrible heat "seemed more than poor humanity could bear. Captain Martin was in rather the worst position, his hair and clothes were singed, and occasionally he would put up an iron bucket over his head to momentarily ward off the agonizing heat, but, they stayed by .it, knowing that the fate of the, town depended on them,'"and little by little, as lhe burning buildings'cn either side relaxed something of their former in-' tensity of heat for want of more material, a.heartfelt sigh went up from.the working', perspiring crowd, and,..they .realized, that the_. battle had been fought and that.faicA tlin. was once more safe., ��� During the fire.masses ofburuing tar paper and Aher material were whirled over the town and threatened lo ignite it in a hundred places. The canvas-covered stable of Buhner & Parrott, over a hundred yards away, caught fire. The horses were at once taken out aud many willing hai.ds dragged the canvas covering off and hauled it to the centre of the street, a smouldering mass. ��� Men were kept- o'i the roofs of the government offices and other buildings whilst the fire lasted, clearing off the burning debris which sailed along on the breeze. Tlie banks of Halifax, Commerce and B. N. A. and most ofthe merchants, had their books and most valuable property removed to places of safety until tlie danger was past. A force of 20 men and two water carts stayed on the ground all night quenching the glowing embers. The losses, none of which are covered by insurance, may be sum marised as follows: J. H. Rose, store $ 9,000 " dwelling, with furniture, etc 1,000 John Broder, Hotel 0. K. furniture andstock 3,000 McFeely and Fetherston- haugh, Board of Trade... 700 Olympic Hotel, damage ' 500 Miss K.

Rose lost 20 pairs of blankets and three fur overcoats which were carried from his dwelling place, but not far'enough to" be out of reach of the flames. Mrs. Rose pluckily stuck to her burning house and saved a large quantity of property. She only desisted when forcibly pulled, out of the blazing building. On being brought to" the fresh air she fainted, ,but soon recovered, and is now as well as ever. , Mr. Broder is one of the worst hit of all the sufferers. He had iust a tely bought out the- building he occupied, refitting and restocking ���it. " Mrs. ��� Nickerson had consumed a- Portuguese sandal wood case, over 100 years old. ��� -It" was-an.l12irlv.-r/1n and contained' about $200. worth of family jewellery;: which *eannofc::be~ replaced. Mrs. Nickerson's young- dog sought its usual place of refuge under the dwelling and was ere-, mated. Its remains were found afterwards. ��� Several of the hotel-keepers were':- so enthused by their escape that' they kept open house during the remainder of the evening, a fact which was liberally taken advantage.of, andbacchanaliaii songs and sounds of revelry could be heard floating on the still, calm night until a late hour. W. H. Gillard, of tlie B. N. A. Bank, was on Fritz Miller's claim, on Piue, when he heard of the fire, and didn't wait to ask for t-he owner of a horse he ran up against on Main street, but mounted and only hit the high spots on the way down. Alex. Godfrey came down afoot from the same place in 49 minutes. Ed. McFeely had ' a pull and a run for his books, but thanks to friends, they had been carefully laid away on the Scotia long before he arrived. Ed. was a passenger 011 Geo. Rice's scow, and had reached the mouth of the Atlinto when the fire was seen. In company with Geo. Rice, T. Watts, Dr. Lewis and W. R. Dockrill, a small boat in tow of the scow was turned to Atlin, and after a stroi.g pull against a head wind, a landing was effected on the shore three miles north of Atlin.

That we have a town to-day.is a ' matter for congratulation, but the danger is ever present, and only by eternal vigilance can safety be assured. Neither labor nor expense must be grudged,and the citizens at large must not be allowed to again drift into' a.stale of apathy conceru- "irig"fire protection. Winter is coming ou apace, and the quite reasonable prospect pf having the town wiped out some day with the thermometer at 30 below is appalling to contemplate from thc misery aud .suffering il would cause. Therefore we urge that no precautions be' , neglected whilst thc good weather lasts, so that the people may enter the long winter spell with a reasonable hope.of having roofs over their heads in the spring. thirty cases of assault and robbery in one day; the officials crooked-as can be; the soldiers hoboes and thugs. Sickness! starvation, mud and misery,complete the awful picture. ��� In his two months' stay- there, Mr. Fennis says he never saw a man smile. I C. CHRISTOPHER,. *' ' A:. C.

There has been quite an exodus this -week to a new placer diggins discovered and recorded byC. B. Jones and Frank Aitken. They have secured a 600-foot discovery claim and named the creek Graham,' after the Gold Commissioner. Tlie creek is 011 the north side of Taku Arm, entering it about five miles ab^ve Taku City, and nearly opposite Mrs. Bell's old restaurant. Discovery claim is about ten miles up the creek and the gold got is a beautiful sample, being waterworn and ranging up to three pennyweight pieces. ��� Mr. Jones left two ouuees in the Bank of B. N." A. secured off the discovery claims .and returned onTuesda3' with a horse to pack lumber for-sluice boxes. . lie is reported as saying that the ground is good for an ounce a day to the man, but fears it is limited in extent.

Just exactly what this portends we have no means at present of ascertaining. The employees,of the McKee hydraulic claim left in a body for the new rush on Wednesday. Mr. McKee is iu town trying to get men to fill the vacancies. On Sunday last Geo.
