PIONEER CRY, May 16, 1867.
EDITOR WORLD: Winter and snow have at last gone
from us, save upon the western side of the hills
where Old Sol has not fair chance at the snow; and
with both has departed the almost irepressible dis
position of our community for dancing parties One
can now go along thestreet without the eternal one
two. three being shouted to him from the corners
and the inquiry put to him Are you going to the
party to-night?'' The sa1utation these days is
Glow does the claim prosper?'' and the usual re-
spouse is" Bully! let's lager
Mining has commenced in earnest in this camp
Water is running in all the bitches except one-the
Mountain ditch, which supplies Apple Jack, Big and
Little Muddy. The owners did not think it expedi-
ent to clean out the miners have free water for
month or so, and soon water from the ditch is
required it will be ready.
Messrs. Wilson & Waterman have reduced theprice
of water twenty per cent? making it forty cents per
inch for every twenty four hours thirty cents per
inch, if used only in day time, and twenty, if used
only at night This reduction will enable the miners
to work ground which has hitherto proved unproft-
able, to good advantage.
Some of the miners have made small Sc clean ups, -
merely as they say for the purpose of keeping them
in remembrance of how to scrape bed rock and wash
dirt but q say it is likely that they do so for
the purpose of filing up the vacancies which have for
some time existed in their long slim, slick buckskin
purses.
Messrs. Hinchy, Comery & Co.. of this place, have
bought the Wheeler ditch for $1,000, and intend to
carry it into their claims New Orleans Bar, the
coming season. This ditch has the second right to
water flowing out of Grimes creek and will. without
doubt prove valuable property to its present own
ers
There are now in Hog En- seven stores ten saloons
and tbs usual complement of other business shops
meat markets, shoe shops, restaurants, lodging
houses, ETC. This is very far from being "played
out camp, and we are likely to have very active
and prosperous mining and trading season.
The WORLD brought us the sorrowfu1 intelligence
of the killing of Controller Lane in Boise City. He
was known and greatly respected by many here, and
We regard his death as public loss

There are yet many losses which we cannot
get approximate information of, but a careful
merchant, who is well informed, estimates the
total loss at over one million Of dollars.
The total number of buildings of all kinds
destroyed is 44O, of which 204 were dwellings
and 236 buildings were stores, shops and bust
ness houses of various kinds.
The brick buildings of NJ. NJ Chapman, John
Claresy, Lauer & Swim, J. R. Wilkinson, L.
NJ. Cohn, the old Times office, and Powell &
Coe, are the only.ones saved in the burnt dis
trict The Jenny Lind Theatre is the only
frame building of q public character saved on
Main street. There is not hotel left in the
city Wells, Fargo & Co.'s, and the Post
Office, were both burned, but both with small
comparative loss. The safes generally have
withstood the fire, and nearly all Of the fire.

barely getaway with the clothes they wore
upon their backs--no more from the store.
A singular freak of the fire is to be seen in
Claresy's fre.proof brick saloon. The pic
lures on the wall IN the rear of the room are
scorched and ruined, billiard table which sat
in the middle of the floor is burned and charred
in spots on top, and in other places the cloth
Tor wood is as good as ever and yet with all
this proof of excessive heat, the inside of the
building is without injury, except that the rear
door, near the iron outside door, is badly
charred.
The brick store of E. P. Fitzgerald & Co.,
near Glaresy's, like the brick stores of Isaacs
Bros, and Fleisehman & Heyneman, proved
worthless to resist the flames. A report was
circulated last evening that powder had been
stored in the building, and the explosion caused
the destruction of the store. Mr.. Maurice
Fitzgerald assures us there was not pound
of powder in the store; the Explosion" came
from a loaded pistol left in the rear room.
This firm saved nothing.
To the eternal credit and honor of our peo-
pie be it said that no purloining was practiced
during or since the fire, as is almost always
the case in communities made up of every
class as this is.
Honorable, beyond any precedent that we
know of, under like circumstances, is the con-
duct of those among the merchants who have
lost nothing in the fire, or who have saved
much of their stocks. They have not made
any increase in prices they have acted most
literally and nobly towards the sufferers. Also
have the proprietors of the two saw-mills be-
haved most praiseworthy in the matter, in
maintaining their past scale of prices and not
taking advantage of the general misfortune by
increasing their prices with the very great de-
mand.
Yesterday evening, the best portion Of our
city was in ashes. But to show that the SpirA
its of this indomitable, impressible community,
are not to be subdued even by this almost
crushing loss and terrible calamity, it is mere
ly necessary for US to state that already, as we
go to press, all over the burnt district lumber
for new buildings is to be seen, houses are rap
idly going up, and the genuine nil deaperan-
dunn determination of this braye-souled Deo-
pie is on every side and in every way admira-
bly, manifested.
There were many instances given yesterday
of the nobleness and disinterestedness of our
citizens, in extending aid, and in rushing to
protect and save the property of those threat
ened and in danger but we cannot give them
all. and it would be wrong to discriminate,
where all behaved equally meritorious.
The list of sufferers apd of losses, so far as
we have been able to ascertain them, besides
those given above, is as follows:

There are many others who have met with
losses, but we cannot ascertain the facts now.
Suffice it to say, that the best business part OF
Idaho City is destroyed We are glad to say,
however, that there is universal sentiment
among our people--the sufferers as well as the
fortunate-to again build up eur city, and this
time in. better security against the spread Of
fires which may occur.
Broader streets and no very high frame
buildings will be the style of the new and re-
