Fire! Eireii

There will be meeting ofctizens this eve
ming at o'clock at Judge Robinson's court
room, to adopt measures for the immediate
organization of a Hook and Ladder Com
pany. The recent terrible confagrations at
Nevada, Auburn, Omega, and our neighbor-
ing city of Virginia, should arouse our citi-
zenS to a realizing sense of the danger to
which we are daily and hourly exposed, with
out any possible means of checking the raw
ages of fire, should such occur. Our town
is closely built and mainly composed of the
most inhammable structures. The streets,
so-called, are mere alley-ways, and constitute
no breach to prevent the progress of fire
From our Office nearly to the Eclipse Mill, is
a solid mass of buildings constituting the bulk
of property in the town. A fire starting at
either end during a high wind would sweep
through the entire length, destroying every
wooden structure, and possibly those intend
ed as fire proof. Several such buildings were
destroyed at the recent fire in Nevada. To
stop such fire, the ordinary means at hand
are entirely inadequate, and it will generally
be found that in the wild excitement of a con-
hagration, an axe, bucket or a rope is ncv-
err at hand. For any effective purpose, a
Hook and Ladder Company must be organ
lied, with good apparatus, and plenty Of it,
and composed of active men, who can be re-
lied upon to be promptly on hand at the first
alarm. The cost of the apparatus viii lbe but
trifing, and will be checrfully borne by our
citizens. The main point to DC attained is the
prompt and perfect organization of the "mus
Gle" part of the department. We hope that
our citizens will turn out with spirit this eve
ming, organize properly, andhot let the mat
ter flag until the object in view is fully ac
cOmnliShed

Copper Mine in Esmeralda.

The Aurora Times loses no Opportunity of
magifesting its Copperheadism. The recent
debate on Hite's amendment, excluding
traitors from citizenship, gives it such an
opportunity. The Times does not like that
clause, and thinks that if adopted it would
"strike down the last hope of the Unions
restoration" 1t quotes the remarks of those
opposed to the amendment, and says, that to
"one whose Investigations extend only to
the surface of things, like The swallow on a
lake, but who dives not to the bottom, like
harpooned whale, there may appear some
thing plausible in the suggestions, and
doubts, and haltings of these men," Mr..
Young, of Esmeralda, was one of those who
earnestly advocated the amendment, where
upon his Copperhesd constituent Of the
Times devotes his leading column to what is
propably intended as a severe excoriation.
The spirit of that amendment is incorporated
into the Constitution. Mr.. Young's position
is sustained by the Convention, and will he
endorsed by all the loyal majority of the
people. He will survive the terrible dis
pleasure and scathing irony of the char
pooned whale" and the sentiment of loyalty
and disgust of treason will live long after that
gored fish shall have made his final dive into
the depths of the vast ocean of oblivion.
The election of man of Mr.. Young's prin-
ciples, as delegate to the Convention, would
seem to indicate that the sentiment of the
people of Esmeralda is loyal. The bitter
enmity to the government and sympathy with
the rebellion, which is constantly evinced III
the Times whenever anything that can be
called an editorial article appears in its
columns, which is but seldom is not reflex
Of the sentiments of the people of that dis
trict. 1t is a libel upon their name as citi-
zens of the United States, and it is duty
they owe themselves as a community to
"crush" the Copperhead treason mill, as
the loyal people the Union over are crushing
other sheets of the same traitorous stamp, by
"letting it alone" Let it die the death of
starvation it deserves.

The EARLE Mining District.

The Eagle Mining District lies about eigh-
teen miles east of Genoa, and about four
miles from the east fork of Carson river, on
the road to L smeralda, and was organized in
May, 1860. 4
From that time to the present, work has
been vigorously prtsecuted by several COM
panies, but from Il peculiar encumbrance the
great'bulk of the work has been done upon
one ledge. From the first, a large number of
lodges have been known to exist in this local
ity, and from time to time proSpect-holeS, So
called, have been sunk to the depth of from
ten to thirty feet, on the great majority OF
them but it is upon the main ledge of the
district that the great bulk of the work has
been done. This ledge is called the Mann
moth, from the extensive nature of the de-
post. The groupings can be traced for miles
and in some places they project thirty feet
above the ground. As near as can be learned
from present developments, this lode is at
least fifty feet in width. 1t is located, through
out its whole extent, in segregated interests
of 200 feet each, so that when the lode is de-
welcomed, each individual will have a mine Of
his own large enough to make any man rich
and should it prove good, like the mines of
Gold Hill, every man will have the privilege
of working his ground as he pleases and
when he pleases, thus heading off such CAPT.
talists as have become expert in the little
game of "freezeout." For the purpose of
thoroughly prospecting the ledge, the holders
of these interests have consolidated into
Three or four companies, so as to tap the
ledge at great depth at different points.
One of these companies have tunnel in some
fourteen hundred feet on the old discovery
claim, and another tunnel has been run in
some 700 feet on claim No. 45 south"
The former will strike the ledge at adepth of
100 feet from the surface, and the latter at
the depth of about $50 feet. When the ledge
is struck, if it proves good, the owner OF the
claim on which the tunnel is run will reim-
burse the others for the money they have
been paying i'll, of which an accurate account
is kept. Work on these tunnels is being
vigorously prosecuted night and day with
three sets of hands, and the distance made
each week is from ten to twenty feet, making
an average of about fifteen feet. From the
tunnel Gu "No. -" there is a stream of water
flowing of some 70 inches. Assays have been
obtained frou the groupings of this lode, run
ming as high as 5000, and an average from
the ASSAYS which have been made is about
500, or course, all these pieces were Sc
lected specimens, yet, when we take into con-
sideration that this lode lies on the range OF
the great mineral belt on the eastern slope
of the Sierras, it is but reasonable to predict
that some of the best claims in the Territory
will yet be developed in this locality. There
is an abundance of wood and water for mill
ing purposes, and if the lodges prove as good
as they bear every indication of doing, 1t will
make one of the most wealthy mining dis
trictS in the Territory.

Social Improvement.

The "rapid march of civilization" (Which,
accordingt to the Enterprise, is wading around
through the mud up in Virginia. still goes it
ike old John Browns body. As an evidence
thereof, we find an account in that paper of a
boy ID years old, being arrested for stabbing
a Chinaman with bowie-knife! The En-
terprise remarks:
1t is said that the brother to this boy con-
stantly carries similar knife-to be used in
Seyf:defense, we presume. And gentleman
who lives in the eastern part of the city says
there is a boy, whom he believes to be one of
Mr.. Melville's scholars, who carries a re-
volver about with him wherever he goes, and
often comes down near his residence to prac-
tice. Parents would do we'll to see
that their children do not carry dangerous
weapons, or some of these days we may have
a murder or two among the Juveniles to
chronicle. Not week ago we heard boy
not ten years old, threatening somewhat
older boy with his "Derringer."

BURGLARS ABour.-Last night thief was

BURGLARS ABoUT.-Last night thief was
detected lin the back room of McCrary's
store, opposite the Rhode Island mill, in Gold
Hill, hid behind door. Three men were
sitting by the stove in the front part of the
store, and on making the discovery of the
burglar, the clerk got pistol, and accompa-
MED by the men in the store, approached
the hiding place of the stranger, who, on
hearing the persons approach, was heard to
cock his pistol also, evidently intending to
show fight. As there was but one pistol, and
that containing only two shots, the attacking
party deemed it advisable to retire to the front
part of the store, and to send messenger for
a policeman. The thief, taking advantage of
this lull in the onslaught, broke through a
board partition, and escaped. The thief
gained admission through the back door, and
the door behind which he had hid himself led
into a small cellar adjoining the store. There
is no doubt but the thief intended to wait I'M
til the store was closed, and then to rob it,
and perhaps to kill the clerk, if necessary to
accomplish his object. People in this neigh
borhood should be on the alert, for there is
no disputing the fact that some of the vilcst
scoundrels unhung are now prowling about
this country.

DUTcH FLAT WAGON RoAD.-The Super

constructed between Virginia and Steamboat
Valley of an easier grade than that on the
Geiger road. He states that the Dutch Flat
road is now completed, with the exception Of
mile and half this side Of the summit, to
Bonner Lake. From the latter to Perkins
Station, where the road will enter the Hen
ness Pass road, the distance is seventeen
miles, and most of the way bit little labor
will be required to make good road, as the
country is level. The mile and half to be
completed this side of the summit, the Su-
perintendent says, is hard job, and has been
let by contract to be completed by the LIST of
July next. Work has been nearly suspended
on account of the severity of the weather.
The road has been made sixteen feet wide in
its narrowest place, thus giving plenty Of
room for teams to pass each other.-Enter-
