THOSE WELL-GkTEs.-Last evening,
at the meeting Of the Board Of Alder
men, at Virginia, a petition was re-
ceiyed from citizens Of the Third Ward.
Drawing that hose and w~ell-gates be
provided by the city, by means OF
which, In case Of fire, to utilize the
water In certain large tanks belonging
10 mining companies, and situated
on the west side Of South B street. Ow-
ing to the fact Of no report having been
received from the committee instructed
to inquire In regard to the coat OF the
hose and well-gates, no action could
be taken In regard TO the matter.
Those well-ga are what we suggested
In the GoLD HILL News some weeks
ago. The Fire Department or the city
authorities have full permission from
the mining companies mentioned, to
afix suitable w~ell-gates to the %cisterns,
and the sooner 1t Is done tho better, for
no one knows how DON there may DO
an extensive fire In the thickly-settled
wooden-built localities along South c
street. Put on the well-gates, and get
the hose afterward. In case Of fire In
that vicinity, Good viii, Neptune, or
any other hose company could easily
run up B street, attach their hose and
do more real, steady. effective work
than either of the engines OF the De-
partment, or the whole Of them In case
thew were disabled. In fact If the city
authorities would build q series OF
water cisterns along the side Of Mount
Davidson, above the city, where the
fumes of the Water Companies pass
along, and then have q series OF ny
drants corresponding with them along
the principal streets, 1t would event.
ually be found to be a paying institu-
tlon. For the Information OF h o
Companies we will state that a suita-
BILE well-gate is already attached to the
Gould & Curry cistern, above b street,
which Il easily got at In case OF fire,
by means of the road over the dump,
from near the residence Of j. 6. Fair,
Esq, on B street.
A SEVERE AccIDEST.-Yesterday
afternoon, about half-past II o'clock,
says the Enterprise, George Mckay
engineer at the Gould & Curry works.
met with a very severe accident. lie
and a friend were In the Railroad a
Let, on South F street, adjoining the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad depot,
and In a frolicsome spirit began spar
ring. when, by a step backward, Mr..
Mckay stumbled over a sack OF hour
living upon the floor, and falling.
struck his head upon one OF q row OF
large and sharp hooks, OF the kino
usually seen In meat markets. Inc
man with whom he was skylarking
fell over against him, and not knowing
that his friend was hurt did not at nrst
exert himself to regain his equilibrium,
and thus the weight Of both men was
brought upon the hook. The proprie-
TOR OF the place, who q moment before
had cautioned the men against the
hooks. ran from behind the counter,
and pulling away the man In 'front.'
released Mckay by hosting him up
md nnbooLInS his head. The hook
entered the right side of Mckay's head
inst where the hair and whlskcrs meet,
and tore a hole In the scalp about two
inches in length. The hook passe1
under and broke In two the temporal
artery, causing a great enuSion o'
blood. DR.. Hopkins was called III,
who took I'D the artery and sewed up
the wound In the scalp. The wound
Is not of a dangerous nature, but stiil
It is severe and very painful.
