Canadian Forestry Journal, November, ipi6 



In the fire of August 2nd, which oc- 

 curred in the New Liskeard district, 

 and which involved the townships of 

 Harley, Dymond. Harris and Casey 

 (including the Casey Cobalt Silver 

 Mine and the Croesus Mine), the loss 

 was distributed over 124 people, who 

 suffered to the extent of $254,000, with 

 insurance of $135,000. 



The settlers constitute by far the 

 greatest number of sufiferers. and re- 

 present the balance of the amount to 

 the number of 345, with a loss of a lit- 

 tle over $300,000, upon which the total 

 insurance was less than $12,000. 



Having thus obtained as full, com- 

 plete and accurate a statement as it is 

 possible to get, the fire marshal has 

 now under consideration a mass of tes- 

 timony taken in the country from set- 

 tlers, prospectors, woodsmen and in- 

 surance men as to how a repetition of 

 this disaster can be averted. 



The testimony is mixed in its char- 

 acter, but the whole subject is being 

 considered and the fire marshal's con- 

 clusions will be presented to the Min- 

 ister of Lands, Forests and Mines.
