mad he not III his account Of the fire
made the following flourishing remarks:
I'VE were on the ground at the time
of the fire and again yesterday after
ternoon, and below give all the infor-
nation We have been able to CLEAN
from all ources as regards the names
and losses OF those who were burned
out" And then Dan did take his scis-
sors, and did feloniously and delibe-
rately clip from the NEWS our account
and estimate Of the aforesaid losses,
word for word, rs the public could not
help noticing by comparing tho two
papers, even to the loss and estimate
Of Lafee's boarding house, which Dams
own account said was not destroyed.
In his item Of this morning he tries to
make out that lie got those losses and
| estimates from an Enterprise carrier"
| Now even that little joke won't win.
Dan can't play his old, well-worn
scissors OH the public for an Enter
prise carrier" The thing Is a little
too palpable. He should never be so
one-horsedly heightened rs to begrudge
n little professional courtesy to q fellow
reporter who has q good heart, and
never wished him Ill. But, rs we said
before, we can afford to forgive him.

MORE WArER.-The Enterprise Of
this morning says: 1.-The Virginia and
Gold Hill Water Company night be-
fore last struck q stream Of ten inches
of water In their big tunnel near the
head Of Crown Point ravine. The
water is said to be perfectly clear and
pure, and of icy GOODNESS. The tun-
mel in the end of which the water was
found is 1000 feet in length, and has
been cut nearly all that distance In
hard blasting rock; only the last sew.
enty feet was soft enough to be WORKED
without much blasting. The rock IN
which the water was obtained Is q spe-
cies Of porphyry. The tunnel runs
under the edge Of a large fiat on the
top of n mountain. 1t Is supposed by
the company that by extending the
tunnel a much larger stream OF water
would flow from 1t than they now
have, but they do not wish to draw OIL
the deposit they have tapped faster
than IL Ia needed. The water from the
new strike was turned into the fiume
and sent into town yesterday"
CARRIED OFF THE PMzE.-A prize,
consisting Of q beautiful silver brick
with fine gold chain attached, having
been offered by some unknown person
for the best specimen of writing BY the
Young ladies Of the Virginia High
School, Miss Viola Cohen was yester-
day awarded the same. 1t Is a prize
TO be proud OF, and In order to win 1t
we may be sure that It was necessary
TO much excel Horace Greeley's CHI
ropraphy, in fact to somewhat ap-
pr0ach the local editor. So says the
Enterprise OF this morning.
STONE WALL--The Savage Company
are building a substantial stone wall
or bulkhead about forty feet in length
by fifteen high at the north end OF
their lower dump, near the railroad
track. This Is to be filled In or backed
I'M with waste rock from the mine,
thus making 4 neat level space for
wool, lumber, or any other purpose
desired.
