CHANGING HIS BAsE.-C. j. Collins,
the %well-known halter at Virginia, has
closed out his business entirely in that
city, and tomorrow he leaves, together
with his family, bag, baggage and
worldly accumulatiOns, for San Fran
cisco. He proposes making the Bay
City his future home, and sets up in his
same old business, ut the corner Of
Montgomery and Summer streets. Col
lins has been an active resident Of Nir-
ginia for the last sever years, but he
couldn't manage to get rich, for the
very good reason that he always spent
all he could earn or anyhow scrape to-
gether in trying to develop the mineral
wealth of the country. Nobody ever
paid assessments so persiStently on
wildcat rs did Collins. He always
would invest, and he was so sangulne,
too. He could talk by the hour about
the rich merits Of the numerous out
side lodges and claims he was inter-
ested in everywhere, from kearsarge
to Idaho, or from White Pine to Ex-
celsior. This reminds US Of Collins
brilliant success in the Mohawk and
Montreal mine, over In Excelsior. lie
was one Of the principal stockholders,
and stuck to it like Il brick, paying
assessment after assessment right
straight along, and getting hold OF all
the stock he could mt that. Thus 1t
was that he spent $l6, 900 in that one
little mining operation, and singular
q it may appear. Collins anne out
"busted," being ut last sold out for
assessments. All the while, however,
Collins kept hard ut work making hats,
and that's precisely what he will do i'll
San Francisco, where, out Of the way
Of quartz lodges, we hope and trust he
may accumulate more wealth than Inc
leaves this section with. Collins Is n
good man to have in any community,
and many friends here gricye to lose
him and his estimable family, yet wish
him and his abundant prosperity wher-
ever they may be. SIGH is life. Col
lius IL simply a live specimen OF
numerous men existing in this section,
whose ever-persistent speculative ten
deucieS and enterprise never Will let
them get rich.
TuK KRARsARGE. - An old Gold
Hitler now rusticating down at the
famous Kearsarge mill writes rs fol-
lows, under date of April 9th, to
L. c. McMurtry, Of this town: "Here
am In a canyon eleven miles south
west from the town Of Independence
and about on n level with the highest
peak Of your pet pimple, Mount Da-
wilson, and I should judge 2.6W feet
below the mine belonging to the hear-
sarge Company. We are making con-
siderable Improvement under the SUI
pervislon of the little chief, l. +:
Thompson, which will all be completed
In a short time, when everything will
take a fresh start, and | candidly be-
lieye that the Kearsarge mill will
astonish you OF the Comstock lode in
the amount Of bullion that she will
produce. We are building a tramway
or incline track :, 1000 feet in length. OIL
m angle of about As degrees, to run
the ore down towards the mill from
the mine, which will be completed by
Saturday night. We have also put Ill

now connecting the machinery in the
mill, and putting In more machinery,
In the shape Of pans, etc, which Will
not be completed in less than two
weeks. This whole country Is waiting
and watching this mine, when. II It
turns out as expected, this Will be n
lively camp next summer, rs there has
not been any prospecting, compara-
lively speaking, done in this region,
and the whole country Is iuii Oh
metal"
FIRE AT CARSON. - The dwelling
house Of Mr.. William Mara, in the
southwestern part Of Carson, just south
of Duffy's soap factory, was destroyed
by fire about 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The greater portion OF the IuI-
niture was removed. most OF wnicl
belonged to David Magee, son-ln.law
IN MR. Mara, but Mr.. Mara lost all the
clothing he possessed except what was
ON HIM a valuable gold watch ana
chain presented to him by the work
men OF the California State Capitoi,
and about 81, 500 worth Of valuable
naintines belonging to j.. N: Inomp-
son, were consumed with the DUlluuIs'
By the greatest exertions the aGtot
stables and residence OF MI. Duny
were saved. The origin OF the hre IS
unknown, and the building not oe,hS
insured, the loss falls heavily upon Mr..
Msra, who is quite an old gentleman;
and thus lost nearly all he possesseu
In the world.
H,eu AND LOW. X. Emmett, the
actor, andhis wife, took trip lastSatur-
day down to the bottom of the Savage
shaft 400 feet deep. Next day they
rode horseback to the top OF Mount
Davidson, some 400 feet above the
ton of the Savage shaft. No actor ever
went so high and low in this section
before, on so short an acquaintance
Neither are there very many. places
