GETTING ALoNa.-The rebuilding Of
the latest burnt district at Virginia is
we'll advanced toward completion, and
the whole row Of buildings along the
west side Of South C street will be
finished and pretty much all occupied
in the next two weeks. All r re-
built better than ever before, and
principally of brick. The Tahoe
House property, however, Is only re-
built to the height Of one story and
temporarily rooted for the season. 1t
will doubtless be built a story or two
higher next season, as 1t should be.
The sidewalks OH both sides Of the
street will also be completed shortly.
Ferrend's livery stable on the east side
of the street Ia large and commodious,
and one Of the finest and most substan-
tial wooden buildings In the city. 1t
is ready now for occupation. Barnett
is rebuilding his liquor store next to
Wells, Fargo 81 Co.'S, Of stone. 1t
will be flre-proof and finished inside
OF two weeks. The new tire-proof
building Of Kennedy & Mallon, at the
corner Of c and Smith reefs, Is also
nearly finished, and the stone and
brick buildings at and near the corner
of C and Taylor streets, Quilted out by
the fire, arc already reconstructed and
occupied. Derby s. Gearhart's stable,
on B street. Is rebuilt very su6stau-
TALLY and firs-proof, about twice Its
former size and capacity, and has been
finished and ~reoccupled for the last
two weeks. Down on d and f streets,
md In fact all other parts Of the burnt
district, many buildings are rebuilt
and rebuilding. It Is by far the busiest
part Of the city at present, n Will
Be about the livelisSt and best part
whom finished. Tim Cronin, the well
known contractor and builder, had the
Job Of r~s-erecting several Of the brick
buildings along the west side OF Z
street, and has just got through, leav-
ing tho carpenters and painters to
finish up.
ANOTHER IaPRovEMESr.-The En-
terprise says: J. P. Smith, the hard
wareman, has purchased the brick
building formerly occupied by Thomas
Taylor s. Co., liquor merchants. south
C street, and will remodel 1t for his
business. The old front and rear walls
will DO taken down and rebuilt ana
the length Of the building increased
about ten feet. In rebuilding, an iron
'front.' will be put up. An addition
will be made In the rear, fronting on
r street. which will be used as n work
sbon. Two floors will DO used for the
storape and exhibition Of goods, and
no new store will DO made q hrSt-
class establishment Of In every respect.
'Tbe present store, at the corner OF Is
and TAYLOR streets, though very large,
10 so dlsadvantageously situated Ior
trade, that It Is a difficult matter ior
strangers to find 1t.
CoMrL1MENTARIEs.-W eacknowledge
the receipt Of complimentary tickets OF
admission to the grand ball Of Eagle
Engine Co. No. 3, Virginia, which
takes place at Armory Hall, B street,
this evening. This excellently organ,
lied and most effective company had
the misfortune to lose their house, FIX
lures and all their property except
their machine, at the recent great fire
mt Virginia. They have secured a lot on
b street, at or near the site Of their
old house, and this ball Is given to
raise funds toward rebuilding. 1t IS
10 be hoped their ball will be we'll
patronized, for n better and more de-
serving company does not exist In the
Virginia Fire Department.
HUGE PorLToKs.-Mr. S. A. Nevers,
whose ranch Is near the mouth Of
Kings canyon, west Of Carson city, yes
terdsy laid on our table a couple Of
the largest and finest potatoes We have
seer for many a day. They were about
a foot long, weighed q pound or so
anisce. und were smooth and round as
maiden's cheek. They are of the
Early Challenge variety, and this sea-
son Yielded at the rate Of eight tons to
the acre. California nor any other
S,ate cannot beat Nevada much In tho
rav Of p~otatoes. We raise something
hasjdes silver bricks and ~sagebrush
here sometimes.
FIRST AccrpENT.-The first accident
A.. csns IN the Reno division of the
virginia and Truckee Railroad oc-
cnrred on Tuesday morning last at
PIANO. Some lumber was piled close
n tho track, and a large plank pro-
iscted far enough to be caught BY the
Tjston rod. One end Of the plank
bejng firmly set against the ground,
the other end rushed up through the
cab where tho engineer was sitting,
tearing out the front window OF q
csh and going through the roof. 1t
w.s a close call, but no m was hurt.
So says the Carson Register.
