MINING HAMLET WIPED OUT BY FOREST BLAZE Entire Population of Tiny Town Forced to Flee for Lives. By United Press BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 21. —Raging forest fires which already have re- ! duced the mining settlement of Quartzburg to blackened ruins, swept today toward the hamlets of Placerville and Centerville and threatened to destroy both. The entire population of Quartzburg, driven from their homes by the fire, camped in the baseball park at Placerville, ready any minute to flee for their lives a j second time. Unverified reports said several ! lives had been lost although at Placerville, forty mlies from Quartzburg, these reports were discounted. The fire swept suddenly upon Quartzburg when two fires which had been burning in Boise Basin, in central Idaho, broke out of control, ate their way through hundreds of acres of second growth timber and met to form one huge conflagration. “There were many narrow escapes, the blaze came down upon us so rapidly,” said Mrs. W. Robinson, one of the refugees from Quartzburg.
