Dozen Firemen Buried in Fire Disaster

Another Cleveland Horror Averted by a Gossiping Motorman
A Cleveland incident recalls a fatal fire in Chicago where 12 firefighters died after a floor collapse. In both cities, rapid blaze spread and dangerous escapes caused multiple injuries and at least three fatalities in Chicago, while Cleveland narrowly avoided disaster aboard a streetcar when a gossiping motorman left the car momentarily and a trolley current was later restored, sending the vehicle forward without further loss.

Colorado Gold Boom Foretold By Denver Official
K G Cooper of Denver, general manager of the Denver Republican, predicts Colorado will yield 15 to 20 million dollars in gold annually for years. He cites Cripple Creek and new camps as driving a booming mining sector with high wages, revived stock exchange activity, and strong demand for mining machinery. In Alaska, a Birch Creek strike reports a prospector washing out 130 dollars in one pan and a 53 ounce nugget, triggering quick locations along the creek.
