GRAND FlRE ALARM.-About l o'clock
p. N. to-day q general alarm of FIRE was
sounded by the steam whistles, and all
Gold Hill was thrown into q state Of
intense commotiou. A huge cloud Of
black smoke was rolling from the front
Of the Imperial-Empire hosting works,
looking as though the whole concern,
wood yards, lumber and all, WAS being
gone through with. Like ante the
feet-footed antelope We dashed up the
steep mountain side to the rescue, and
found that the employees at the works
were simply burning the tar of one OF
tho wire hosting cables, in order to
repair and re-tar it. They had it laid
in a huge coil on the dump in front Of
the works, and on building a ire with
chips around it, the burning tar was
what created the huge, dense smoke.
No wonder people down town thought
the whole concern was on ire. We
found Chief Engineer Gibson, OF our
local Fire Department, there; also Chief
of Police Downey, of Virginia. Downey
said oil the fro bells in Virginia were
ringing like mad when he left. Such
FIRE alarms should be avoided if possi-
BILE, a. they have o very bad influence.
II repeated too often our 6remen will
get tired of the thing, and not care to
run Mt an alarm, even when there is
something in it. Such q big smoke,
suddenly created, will invariably cause
An alarm. They should draw it a little
milder-touch it of moderately.
OraRA HOUSE, MELoDEoS.-Ths great
promenade concert and ball at the new
school house, last evening, detraesed
considerably from the audience at Pr
per's, yet there was q good house, new
erthsless, and a very excellent enter
taiumcnt was given. Some fine singing
and good witticisms were given in the
first part, and the walk around was es-
p~ecislly good. Otto Burbank is a great
addition to the company, especially
where the dancing or dramatic burlesque
acts come in. Tonight there will be a
change of programme, many new fea-
tares being introduced, therefore a good,
full house may well be anticipated.

CHINESE BURGLARS. = Night oeior

nsmen burglsriOusly entered the War;
Springs Hotel, near Carson, by fo'cin
omen the front door. They were de
tsc,.d before they could get anythin
very valuable, and were successful i
their escape. The appeal is of th
~oninion that the most OF the burglaris
committed in Carson this season hay
