It was about five minutes before ten o`clock on the night of January 15, 1895, that an alarm of fire was turned in from what has since come to be known as “Fateful Box 72,” located at the corner of Utah Avenue and Iron street. When the Central station appratus reached the scene of the fire the flames were bursting through the roof of the Kenyon-Connell warehouse. Then came the first great death dealing explosion. The exact time of its occurrence is given as eight minutes after ten, just thirteen minutes from the sounding of the alarm. More to read at Butte public library
