Fire in the Gold Hill Mines.

The announcement ome 10y tele-
graph from Gold Hill that the yellow
Jacket, Crown Point and Belcher
mines are OH fire. The fire originated
in the blacksmith shop on the lSvO-
foot level OF Yellow Jacket mine. n
tremen lous explosion shortly follow
ed, killing six miners and eNtInSuisli-
ing most OF the lights i'll the mines
above named. A list of the killed
will be found in ,.g Geographic
columns. 1t is not stated in so many
words, vet we infer from the general
tenor OF our advices that the flames
are either under control or have been
wholly sxtinguished. We are led to
this conclusion from the fact that it is
stated hal work will be resumed to-
morrow. The disaste" seems TO have
exercised no perceptib.e influence on
the stock Of the mines IN question,
quotations in the Board ranging APP
parently at about the usual figures.
The news was received by the SEN
TlNEL at an early hour Yesterday,
and given to the public through the
medium of a bulletin posted in front
of the Express office. The account
was read with deep interest by hun
dreds of people during the day.
Fuller particulars of the calamity will
be found among u dispatches pub
lished herewith.
