The OVERLAND STABLES BuRNED.-At
about quarter past six o'clock last evening,
fire broke out in the large building used as
barn and stables by the Overland Mail
Company, and entirely destroyed it, together
with the contents. The horses and mules
that were in the stables were all saved.
Owing to the combustible nature of its con-
tents, the flames spread so rapidly that
nothing could be done to save the building.
The fire was first discovered BY officers Green
and Brinton. As soon as they observed 1t,
Green ran to the engine house and rang the
alarm, while Brinton FASTENED to the burning
building to discover, if possible, how the fire
originated. He says the fire first started near
the middle Of the building. In the south end
of the building there was room used as an
Office and sleeping room, in which there was
no chance for a fire to start in the center of
the building, except it was kindled by an in
cendiary, or was the result OF some accident.
The CompaLy'S loss is quite heavy, as there
was large amount of hay and grain on the
premises. At the time the fire was diScov-
cred, there was some twenty head of horses
and mules in the building, which were fortu-
naiely all saved. The fire was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary.

MORE ROBBERS On Sunday last, Mr..

three robbers on the Carson road, between
Empire City and the Mound House. Not
having any money about him, the fellows
gave him lecture on the subject, advising
him not to be caught in such nix again, and
let him 20. These fellows wore not the
sage-bruSh feather.
The OPHIR.-The North Ophir Company
are progressing finely with their incline shaft.

A good deal of water is now coming in-So

lead is about five feet wide at the bottom of
the shaft. A within is used in hosting dirt
and water.
