THE EVENING NEWS.
DAYrOS.-Dayton vet exhibits q large


DAYroS.-Dayton yet exhibits q large
"burnt district" to the regretful gaze
OF the visitor. But it always was a
lively burgh, and is bound to stick by
that adjective title, spite of disasters by
FIRE or food. There has recently been
erected in that town a commodious
hotel, BY l. D. Cross, formerly Of Como.
This house Of entertainment is conven-
iently situated on the corner of the
a.. principal streets. Our ancient friend,
Major JAqua, still presides at the "Gol
den Eagle" and seems to be as social
and popular and as prosperous a host
as ever. The gulches from Gold Hill
down to Dayton are almost continuous
IL occupied by sulphurets catchers,
whose long shallow fumes -some-
times six abresst-are blanketed with
absorbing industry. In Dayton, itself,
this sitting business is carried on
very extensively, and must afford
work for a large number Of men,
The Carpenter & Birdsall mill, with its
splendid water motive, is laundering
out the bullion with incessant labor.
The Rock Point mill is more fruitful
than ever before. The business men OF
the place generally have u pleasant
look; confirming the statement thatthey
now make: times are fair. Sneriu

er ia a good place 10 ''go to-; they get

TERRIBLE MIME AccIDESr.-At half
past II o'clock, this forenoon, A man
canned Williams, who attends 10 the
pump shat, in the Crown Point mine,
was instantly killed, by falling a dis
Il OF 40 feet, from the first station
70 the bottom Of the shaft. He was a
man that weighed about $50 pounds,
and so terrible was his fall that his
body broke a three-inch plank that lay
across the shaft at one OF the
s,atious-the men standing by that
station not being able TO see what kind
OF n weight i, was that so suddenly
split the thick cross-timber. The body
was so horribly msngled that IL had TO
be brought up in Il double blanket-a
mass of human flesh and bone fragments
aud gore. The man is said TO have
been forty years Of age. He leaves a
wife and Eve children. The accident
occurred while the unfortunate being
was attempting TO pass the shaft while
the cage cable was in motion. The
sight Of his remains is past description.
We hope our community will generally
respond 10 aid 10 the bereaved wife and
fa,herless ones. They are left destitute,
eu, should not have 10 rely upon the
contributions OF tue noble hearted MIN
ers alone. There ought TO be a Mining
Accident Insurance Company in Nevada.
