rnD HaRnOR YESTERDAY.

About IL O'Clock M, yesterday, fire
alarm was SOUNDED, and which proved
lobe in the building known IS the
New .Sazorac,- corner Of Carson aud
Proctor streets, the FIRE originating
from the kitchen lue, aud for a, time
threatened the destruction of a large
amount Of property adjoining, the
buildings being composed of wood.
The two fire companios-Warren No.
l and Curry No. 2-promptly respond
ed to the call and had their machiues
stationed at a cistern near by-Curry
No. 2 being the first to get water on
the fire. BY the time water was first
thrown on the fire an immense fame
Was passing through the root, and to
all appearances there was no possibil-
ing building. But, in keeping with
he effective service usually rendered
by u two fire companies, the entire
property was flooded with water SO
quickly that in less than fifteen min
utes' time, and before q space of ten
feet square Of tho roof was burned, the
threatening flames were Subdued and
further need for fremen was rendered
UNNECESSARY. Ii Is safe to assert that
never before, in any city or town, has
there ever, been more. elective work
accomplished than at the fire, yester.
day. From the start there seemed to
be a determination OH the part of the
firemen to save the building, and ev-
cry one of the boys worked with q
will to stay the devouring element at
the time raging so fiercely. There
were present several gentlemen from
San Francisco who awarded great
praise to the Carson firemen, and gave
them credit for better work than they
Trad aver seen before, either by steam
engines, or those of old and long ex-
crack hand companies.
There were also present people from
Virginia and Gold Hill who asserted
the Warrens ana Currys done
better work at the fire yesterday than
any company eve done either in Vir-
GINA or Gold Hill. This speaks vol
in favor Of our brave and gal
Iant tiremen. With such old fire lad
lies as Gus. Lewis, foreman Of One,
Stearn, LIST Assistant and George A.
Iyrreil 2nd Assistant; A. Curry, fore
man of Two, Andy Wright, LIST Assist
int, Die Mills, 2ud Assistant, and
Mart. Reese, John Cheney, Jacob
and other old chiefs of our fire
.omp aries together with all the mem
oers of both companies, it is safe to say
hat with the brakes we'll filled fires
do much damage after the two
are in full blast.
The building in which the fire start
ID was owned by Messrs. Bright &
simpson, the front part or main house
icing occupied by the latter named
gentlemen as . saloon, while the one
n the rear had recently been leased
" Messrs. Walker Il johnson and
las used by them as a restaurant and =,
house. After the fire was sub =
.ued several gentlemen examined the
and came to the conclusion |
bat . spark from the kitchen flue had =
roPped between the same and the
building, aud from which the
re occurred, as the fue was built
ontiguous to the weather boarding on e
front or main house. Most of the z
and fixtures in the house
as got out, but. of course, more or
'ss damaged in its rapid flight.
The building was insured in the I'm II
Fire Insurance Company, for wi
'e sun Of 5000 and for the same pc
mount in the Liverpool and London
I'd Globe Company. Messrs. Walk :.
q johnson were uninsured. They 4
considerable loss from wa 4
r, but to what extent we did not
arm. c
