without doubt been more successful in curing the

more or less prevalent, the Pain Killer is con-

QUARTZ Mill. BuRNkp.--On Wednesday morn
ing last, about two o'clock, A. ~. Mcnter, Lara.
by Il Cos. six stamp quartz mill on Crosby's
ranch, near Whisky Diggings, in this county,
was discovered to be cnveloped in flames and
past saving from the devouring element. The
entire mill and all its contents were completely
destroyed, though the other buildings contiguous
were saved. The mill had been running only in
day time for sometime back and had closed, and
the fires all Put out IN the evening previous to
the burning. No doubt remains in the minds Of
those about the mill but that the fire was the
work OF all incendiary. There was no insurance
on the property and the whole is a total loss to
the owners. We learn that Mr.. Mantcr lost by
this fire all that he had saved in fourteen years
of hard labor in California. There were chlor-
Inc and suphuret works connected with the mill
which were also destroyed This mill was loca
ted In the edge of the foothills and only about
four miles from Lincoln, and near the sixty
stamp mill Of Baker l. Crosby.
We are indebted to Constable Choate, of Town
ship No. 2, fer the above information.
