ALMOST A FIRE.-rhere came very
near being 4 destructive fire at the
saloon Of Mastersou & Bish, lower
Gold Hill, about two o'clock this
morning. In closing the saloon for the
night a coal oil lamp had been turned
down low, but not eXtinguiShed. At
the time mentioned, parties across the
street noticed an unusually bright
light In the saloon, and on looking In
saw that the chimney had broken and
the lamp was blazing up at q fearful
rate, the blaze having communicated
to the interior Of il by the top melting
oil. They ut once aroused the proprie-
tors, residing heal by, who immediately
turned out to the rescue. On entering
the saloon, and before the rampant
lamp could be secured, it bursted, and
the blazing oil flew all around. They
dashed water upon the flames, and In
the consequent hurry and confusion
the faucet was knocked loose from n
key Of LIQUOR, which added considera-
blv 10 the combustible matter OH the
floor. They managed, however, finally
10 extinguish the flames before much
damage was done, except scorching the
counter and surroundings more or less,
but they had Il lively time of 1t for a
while.
WATER MATTERs.-We understand
that the water is now flowing from the
Cole tunnel again, having been raised
high enough BY the bulkhead. The
stream, however. is not As large as It
used to be. but IL Is an acceptable ad-
dition to the water supply Of Virginia
which had become decidedly short.
People ND there had to 60 without
washing and drink their whisky
straight. Here in Gold Hill water Is
much plentier, there being several
GOOD wells, and 1t can be obtained
most anywhere along the canyon by
sinking from fifteen to thirty feet in
depth.
CHANGED HANps.-The Occidental
mine and mill Is now the property OF
James G. Fair and Mark Strouse, Of
Virginia, who have recently effected
the purchase, aud will before long
have both mine and mill running
again. The Occidental Is n permanent
md really valuable mine, with plenty
of good pay ore in 1t. IL Is wei
onened, we'll ventilated, and in frst.
rate condition for working. The mill
Is only about a year old. Under the
new proprietorship and management,
we shall expect To hear of good re-
turns from this famous outside mine'
