Origin of the Dawson Fire in Victoria Canada
May 22 report on Dawson fire ends with scant details. A fired log injures a man, a woman who knocked over a lamp is arrested. Conflicting statements claim only Bank of British North America was burned, not Bank of Commerce. Messengers named Riley, Tots and Hume collected large sums for prompt reports. A shoe sale at Tassell's remains a draw.

L R Fulda manager of Alaska Exploration reports banks and businesses in the burned area hold large quantities of gold dust and currency. He notes most money circulates locally as roads open in spring and attributes potential losses to lack of safes. He adds nearby banks and warehouses escaped major damage though the origin near the opera house area is densely built with gamblers and women of ill repute.
