Great Fire at Central City Leaves Town in Ruins
A major blaze last week devastated Central City a mining town west of Denver. The fire destroyed most of the Chinese houses while Teller House and the Register Office survived. Estimated losses exceed three quarters of a million dollars. Governor Evans contributed 500 to aid the poor as rebuilding begins and a relief committee solicits clothing bedding and household goods for the destitute residents. Community funds are urged to help those most affected through Col. Geo. EF. Randolph at the Hazard Powder Company office on Lawrence Street.
