Great Blaze Near Helena Strikes Rimini Area
A forest fire near the old Bunker Hill mine on Red Mountain six miles beyond Rimini destroyed about 300 feet of municipal flume and seven and a half miles of open ditch carrying water from Deep Creek to the Chessman reservoir. The blaze, fanned by a brisk wind, also damaged second growth timber within Helena National Forest and threatened pine stands. At mid-evening a crew of 20 to 35 men from Helena, Rimini, and the Chessman waterworks fought the flames under Ranger B A Gondman, with efforts to hold and control the fire ongoing. The blaze was reported at about 2:20 yesterday afternoon. Continued on Page 3.
