alarm of fire was given in Virginia, whic
proved to issue from a building situate
on North F street. near the Occiden,a
Hotel, and the property of Mr.. VIM. 6
Post. An adjacent building, belonging
TO Mr.. Howard, was Quilted throughout
and entirely ruined. The other building
adjacent were on fire several times, Blu
were extinguished through the exertion
OF the efficient fire department. who wer,
on hand with usual promptness, ant
worked under the direction of Engineer,
that all the wooden tenements adjacent
were saved from the flames, that at one
time threatened destruction to the entire
northern portion of F street. From Mrs,

relative to the fire: Mr.. Post went tc
Carson Yesterday afternoon on business,

nothing was saved. The house was finely
furnished. and Mrs. Post had q large
amount Of valuable clothing. all Of which
was burned. together with a gold watch.
chain, pin. and other jewelry. The prop
erty was insured. but for what mount we
were unable TO ascertain. The loss will
probably amount to $4,000.
MONTGOMERY BrLLIoN.-We were this
morning shown a nice little bar Of bullion,
worth per assay made BY H. Harris, just
$40 81. 1t is the product of Fifty pounds
of ore from the Dictator ledge, Montgom-
cry District. which was brought in from
there a few days ago by Charley Booth.
and worked at the Imperial Mill. The
bullion contains a large proportion OF
gold, being worth 50 81 per ounce. The
district from whence this rock comes Is
about fifty miles southeast Of Aurora. and
in the White Mountain range-a range
which has always been regarded with
much interest by prospectors on account
Of its supposed richness, but never has
been much explored because of the hoStil-
ity OF the Indians. ProSpectors, however,
are going in now to considerable extent,
and Charley estimates the number now
within the limits, or in the immediate
vicinity of Montgomery District, at about
two hundred. There are already three
mills, one arastra and one smelling fur
mace within u few miles Of the Dictator
ledge. from which the rock spoken Of was
taken, and which was located for a Gold
Hill company by Mr.. Booth only a few
months ago. Charley %pronounces' it a
rich mineral region. 1t has plenty Of
wood and water, and bids fair to be a
most productive portion Of our State. One
Of the mills which has recently been put
up out there is within a mile Of this Die
tator ledge, but il has so much rock Of its
own 10 work that seventy five dollars per
ton il charged for custom work. Mr..
Booth intends to start back to the district
