REDUCING TnE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
to so many activs.and efficient fremer
having left Virginia for White Pine ant
elsewhere, it has been found neeessar,
to reduce the number of machines ia
the Fire Department service. therefore
at the meeting of the Board Of Alder.
men held Tuesday evening, on motion OF
Alderman Kennedy, Engine Companies
Nos. and 3 were retired from service
ia the Fire Department of the city. In
making the motion, the Alderman said
that he had no feeling in the matter,
that il had been determined to
reduce the companies in the De.
partment, and it appeared tina,
the companies named could be bet
ter spared than any others, and, be-
sides, the members appeared to take
but very little interest in fire matters,
there often being so few members pres
ent on the occasion Of an alarm Of FIRE
that the engines could not be run out.
The two engines thus put out Of service
are among the best in the department,
and just exactly what the people of
Hamilton, Treasure City, Elko or any
other Of those new and fi~ourishirg towns
need Immediately. The members of
Eagle Engine Company No. 3, how
ever, although they do not file their OBJ
j%ections to whatever action the Board
of Aldermen may deem it expedient to
take in the matter Of Illus reducing the
number Of machines in the Depart
ment, do most decidedly object to the
remarks Of Alderman Kennedy, above
stated, as flagrantly unjust TO them
selves, therefore they publish a spicy,
well written card in this mornings
Enterprise in reply, from which we
make the following extract: Eagle
Engine Company No. , was organized
August 2, 1863, and the engine arrived
and was put in service about six weeks
later. Since that time our engine has
never failed to appear ut any fire, with
brakes manned, in readiness and con-
dition for immediate service, and has
been, on each occasion Of a FIRE, not
always the first, but never the last
epsine at work. In view of these facts,
we must ask Mr.. Alderman Kennedy to
more fully inform himself before
tihhluE u Ah
Eagle Engine Company No. ;, or else
to refrain from making any statements
whatever"
YELLOW JAckET.-An excellent body
Of ore was encountered last Saturday
in the DRIFT north of the sOO-foot level,
from the south shaft. II is now l6 feet
in, width, Of n soft ~sulphuret character
intermixed with green chloride, and
assays as high rs $500 per ton. 1t is
the same body of ore known TO exist in
the old north mine, $50 feet above at
that point, but the working of which
was discontinued by reason of disad-
vantages. Running this drift 80 feet
further will carry it directly opposite
the old north shaft. An incline will
be e~xccavated connecting this drift
with the bottom Of the shaft, and this
ore will then be raised through it. The
north hosting works of the mine will
bs put in order and started up for this
purpose as soon As practicable. This
strike of ore is a very important ono for
the future prospects of the Yellow Jack
ct and other mines in the vicinity. The
Yellow Jacket at tue present time is
looking as well il not better than any
other mine on the Comstock ledge.
PIPER's OPERA HOUSE," Mary,
Queen of Scots" was again presented
last evening, and to II very well filed
dress circle. Its rendition wa, fully up
TO that Of the previous evening, and
much merited applause was bestowed
throughout. 1t passed off very smoothly
without drag or more serious biunders
than an occasional stammering or slip
of the tongue on the part Of two or
three of the actors. By particular re-
quest the beautiful and attractive play
entitled " Loves Sacrifice, or the Rival
Merchants" will be given tonight.
This fine piece was presented last Mon
day evening, but owing to the very
stormy weather prevailing many per-
sons we're unable to attend, therefore,
this evening n full audience will doubt
less witness its performance. Miss
Inee's benefit tomorrow evening.
QUEER EASTER DrvIDExps.-We
heard a pretty good little joke yesterday
on certain Youngsters in II family re-
siding at Virginia. They had been
slyly uipping fresh eggs from tho
chicken house whenever they could get
n chance, and saving them up Tor
Easter, carefully slowing them away
in a nice little corner, back OF an old
fashioned brick oven in the house.
TLey had three or four dozen thus
boarded up bat one day last week they
and tho eggs both were betrayed by a
peculiar "peeping noise. The old
lady directly discovered u deposit OF
hatched chickens, and eggs in various
stages of incubation, and it has been
u great source OF wonderment with the
boys ever since, as to " how IN thunder
them ere hens got into the house and
laid all them ere eggs without nobody
KNOWN of it." They'll try and hide
their eggs in n little cooler place next
time.
Has RErunxsp.-Mr. D. l.. Bliss, one
of our old citizens of Gold Hill, re-
turned this morning from u visit to his
family uear Boston, and is quite fat and
hearty after his trip overland. lie says
that Down East" is a pleasant place
to live in, if.a man has plenty oil
mouey-but to an old Washoitc, accus-
toned TO ready cash transactions IN
business, and Jul rough-and-tumo!e
style of living, Down East IS
hardly the place. He Informed US That
Mr.. ii. G. Maynard, who owns consider,
able good property in Gold Hill, ana
who has been rusticatinG in Boston for
the last two and a half years, intends re-
turning here, and will be in Gold Hill
within u month.
OVERLAND MAIL.-Not over halt OF
the delayed Overland mail from the
East has got through yet. There is"
~lamsntable failure somewhere, but IN
q few weeks or days the great conti-
mental railroad will join its two ends and
the connection being complete hat de-
layel mail matter will doubtless then
be- rolled through in u lump.
Sac NEws.-The Carson appeal OF this
o..;no soys tho telepranh announces
