A despatch from Victoria, aays:-A
large part of the businesa portion of
Dawson City was burned last, Wed-
nesday night. ,The losses exceed half
a million dollars, according to a brief
despatoh received at Skaguay late on
Wednesday 'night last. The steamer
Farallon brohght the newa to Skagtuay
before the details were received. Much
suffering must have followed the fire,
as the tem,perature at Dawson was 40
degrees below zero, with the wind
blowing to make matters worse. The
city bad been entirely without its re..
gular water supply for two weeks. The
city mains, having hurriedly been put
in two years ago, were worn out in
places. In contest:tent* the pumping
plant was shut down about Chrietrnas,
leaving the city dependent upon its old
method of hauling water from the
Yukon River Between December 1 and
80, eightees fires occurred in Dawson,
all being caused by overheated flues.
Wednesday night's fire was stated to
be under control when the steamer
left Skaguay.
