the committee appointed to procure a
su;table place to house the apparatus and
hold the meetings, reported progress.
We understand that the City Trustees
ave decided to purchase the premises
formerly occupied by Woodruff a. Ennor,
and will at once fit it up ready for ser
vice. In connection with this subject an
idea was suggested to Us which certainly
commends itself to all interested citizens,
TO have two ladders made, one for use on
the roof and another to lead up from
the ground. By having these articles
strongly made and always at hand, much
trouble would be obyiated by dispensing
with the heavy truck laden with hooks
and ladders which must be hauled to the
scene of the fire. People should also
have one or more barrels filed with
water on their premises in constant readi-
ness. All are more or less inclined to
forget the old adage, "In time of peace
prepare for war" and often through reg
lect to attend to small matters serious
losses occur. We do not desire to see a
repetition Of our great disaster, and
would therefore impress the necessity
upon the people to make all due prepare
ton to resist the fire tiend should it again
visit us.
SALE OF TAILISGs MrLL.-The tailings
mill located in S~hermantown and owned
by j. b.. Osborne has been sold to the
Eberhardt a. Aurora Company at Eber-
hardt. and will continue to be worked
under their administration. The property
Eastern Nevada, and will be remuner-
alive institution to its present owners.
Mr.. Osborne informs us that in n run of
fourteen days 81. 900 in bullion has been
extracted and shipped. This is certainly
a good showing, and one which is argu-
mentative Of the profitable returns of the
property. We hope the recent purchas-
ers may reap rich reward for their labor.
IScEEAsED TBAyEL.-Since the trouble
of the Raymond q Ely Company at
Phoebe, the arrivals from that point have
largely increased. The passengers are
mostly miners and others employed
about the mines there, and leave because
they fear that work will not be resumed
for some months. We are really sorry
to witness the complication of misfor-
tunes which seems to have oyertaken
our neighboring town OF Phoebe, and
trust that she may be safely carried over
the dangerous places which seem to
beset her existence.
FRon ProcHE.-On Monday Inst Gus
Ash aud Dick Dey, Deputy &. :. Mar
shals, passed through on their way to
Virginia. They have been in Phoebe
serving papers from the U. S. Circuit
Court ut Carson on the Raymond X Ely
Co.'S property. 1t will be remembered
that Ash was originally appointed As
SCISSOR of this county at the time Of its
formation, and resigned to accept the
position he now holds. He was mneh
surprised at the changes in Hamilton
since his last visit here.
NEw CONSOLIDATION. We see by San
Francisco papers that IA new consoliaa-
ton of mining property has been made
at Robinson, and an incorporation
formed called the Ward, Ellis Cansolida-
ton. The mines, one Of which is the
Lamb and Caruthers. IRE represented as
being irst-class. and work will be at
onee commenced upon them. Mr.. Ward,
the superintendent, went ont to take
charge Of the property a few days ago.
RErIRED-We understand that +. d.
Town. formerly in charge Of the Manhat-
tan mill, has retired from the conduct
of the same, and William Hardy fills the
vacancy. During our acquaintance with
Mr.. Town we have found him to be an
honest, upright gentleman, and one high
ly spoken of ms an efficient mill man, by
those qualified TO judge. We wish him
every success wherever he may be called
in the future.
STANFORD MILL.-We are informed TINT
this productive institution will continue
to run upon the rock obtained from the
company's own mines, at Pocotiilo. 1t
is earnestly to be hoped that sufficient
quantities of ore can be procured to keep
the mill in motion, aud that the efforts
now being made by DIR. Goodfeiiow to
open his mines may be successful.
BOARD or EQUALIzATIoN.-The board
of equalization will meet in the Asses
sor's office, at the Courthouse, on Mon
day next, and will continue in session
the time required by law. All com
plants regarding the assessment OF prop
erty must be laid before them at regular
hours.
