Everybody who has ever read or heard
about Gold Hill, has also read and
heard about the famous hardware store
Of Eugene Bittner & Co. Eligibly
situated on Main street, nearly oppo-
site the NEWS office, 1t in common
with all the neighboring buildings was
destroyed by the great fire Of July 9th,
together with the immense stock Of
goods therein contained. The loss,
however, being to a great extent COW
cred by insurance, Bittner & Co.. after
their loss was properly adjusted by the
Insurance Company, lost no time In
rebuilding the interior Of their store.
the brick walls still remaining, and
to-day the entire establishment stands
reconstructed. even better, consider
ably better than ever before. The

long, with q front of 80 feet on the

At the rear Is a detached building, a

coal oil, candles, tool handles, rope
and similar goods. The upper story
Is simply a frame building. consisting
of a single room Dc by 30 feet square,
used for tin, sheet iron and copper
smithing. Here is the requisite forge,
lathes, benchea machines, and other
arrangements, for gas fitting, screen,
punching. and all that sort Of thing,
such as George Hadley, Moore and the
rest Of them know all about. Bittner
& Co. have not got the shelves Of their
great store, or salesroom, quite so we'll
filled IS they will be In q few days
when their heaviest reinforcements Of
GOOD, arrive, yet nobody can call for
scarce anything in their line which
they have not got. Brass and steam
goods Of every Kind, gas and other
piping Of all sizes, bar iron, steel,
track iron, In fact everything, from q
steam whistle to a tenpenny nail or =
corkscrew. are to be found at Bittner
& Co.'S. Most especially In the matter
Of mechanics or miners tools, do they
excel, saws, planes. sven pick handles
being made according to their own
order and pattern, nc the manufac-
tories therefore just such rs best suit
our mechanics and miners. G.. w.
Pease. the efficient bookkeeper Of the
establishment, on the occasion of u
visit, yesterday, showed us bills from
original dealers and manufacturers in
Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, ILL
nois, and other points in the East,
with whom Bittner & Co. trade direct,
thus makinga great saving and trad
ing to much better advantage than in
San Francisco, hence being able to e1-
tend the same advantages to their Gus
toners. But this Is sufficient. We
started in to make a much shorter item.
but we are glad to record deserved
success and rejoice to see our neigh
bors prosper, therefore don't mind
commenting thereon ut reasonable
length. Bittner & Co. are doing an
excellent and steadily increasing busi-
less.
AMATEUR HUSrrRs.-Now that the
game law ID no longer In force, ire
quent raids are being made by our
amateur sportsmen into the surround
ing sagebrush, among the hills and
mountains, in search Of wild game.
They have not succeeded in Cutting
the markets just yet, neither do we
presume they will. We certainly hope
they will moderate their ardor all pos
sibie and not 90 to slaughtering of
the suburban game indiscriminately.
The sportsman who thus goes forth to
his iavorite pleasure should be mind
full Of the humanities and slaughter In
the genial mood Of old lzaak Walton.
lie should never kill any more than
he can carry, and we scarcely hope In
all mercy that our sportsmen will bear
this idea in mind rs they 60 raiding
among the herds Of bear, moose, noun
tain sheep. deer, prairie chickens, part
ridges and sand-hill cranes which
roam in Arcadian innocence around
the verdant sides Of old Mount David
son.
FELL Down A SHAFT.-Last Sunday,
Joseph Smith, foreman Of the Nevada
Boiler Works, Silver City, with two
or three other men, were out on a sort
Of prospecting cruise, and coming to a
shaft In a ravine about a mile south Of
Silver concluded to inspect It. Smith
stepped upon n thin board platform or
landing at the mouth Of the shaft, and
1t broke, letting him drop quite sud-
denly some 40 feet to the bottom. He
lit In an old tub, filling 1t completely.
His companions sprang forward just in
time to prevent the old windlass and
fixtures following him down the shaft,
and after considerable trouble sue
ceeded In e~xtricating Smith from his
disagreeable situation. Strange to say,
he was but little injured. The tub
was q total wreck.
EFrEcrCALLY BANKRUPT. -.Yester-
day, in the United States District
Court at Virginia, the Lady Bryan
Mining Company was declared bank
