FiRE.-Saturday evening a fire occurred
near tbs Devils Gate, which consumed a
small house. The Gold Hill fire department,
thinking the fire was in town, were on, in
double-Quick time, laundering down the
street, eager for a battle with the devouring
elements, but il was soon discovered that the
FIRE was abou, 4 mile beyond their ~jurisdic-
ton, and all that was lef, for them to do was
TO house their machines, and wait patiently
for the action Of some defective stove-pipe,
or careless Chinaman within the limits of
Gold Hill. Fires in Gold Hill are OF such
rare occurrence that our fremen are getting
rusty.

ANOTHER Observation-Disclosures race was
made yesterday between Pony and an UNI
known racer. The race will come Oft next
Sunday, and considerable money will change

racing business should be tolerated right in
the city on the Sabbath for il shows \ lack
Of proper respect.
