ROAD AGENTS.

The stage from Palisade on yesterday
morning. when about two miles this side
of Mineral Hill, was stopped by three
masked men, and Wells, Fargo * Co. s
treasure box demanded. There were six
passengers on board, but none of them
were molested. The agents took position
as follows One on either side of the
coach near the driver, and the other in
front of the lead horses. The captain or
spokesman her passed around the coach
with his shotgun elevated rs though he
vas prospecting the situation le then
got OIL the wheel, and proceeded to 90
for the treasure box, taking also the way
sack. When he had helped himself to
such of the contents as he desired, he
placed the letters, ETC., ill the box and
returned it to the boot of the coach, re-
marking to the driver as he did 80 that
he hoped to find him better fixed the
next time. He then commanded the
| driver, in the German accent, to move On.
As near as can he ascertained there was
no coin in the box, and all the rob-
beers got for their trouble was about 800
worth of jewelry. The agents are repre-.
scented as having been very small men,
and two of them at least appetred to be
new hands ut the business. The down
stage was met II few miles this side OF the
scene of the robbery, but as we have
heard nothing to the contrary, we pre-
sumo it was allowed to pass without mo-
lestation. We were told by II gentleman
at Mineral Hill the other night, that he
had reasons to believe that the stage
would be robbed this week, though we
paid no particular attention to the asser-
ton, and had wholly forgotten it until
the news of the robbery reached us yes
terday morning. There a be no ques-
ton, we think. that there is an organiztd
band Of robbers ranging through the
country around Mineral Hill.-Eweka

DEATH OF HORACE f. CLARKe.-Hon.
Horace +. Clarke, well known in connec-
ton with railroad interests, died in New
York City of rheumatism Of the heart, in
the fifty-eighth year of his age. He was
widely known in general railroad and po-
litical circles, and his death will cause
general regret in a large circle of acquaint-
ances. He was President of the Lake
Shore and Union Pacific railroads, was
largely interested in Wall street opera
tons, and was the son-in-law Of Commo-
dore Vanderbilt. He was Il Representa-
tive from New York in the Thirty-ffth
and ~Thirty-sixth Congresses, and since
his retirement has been closely identified
with the business interests of the city
and the railroad development Of the
West.

TESTIMONY OF CLARENCE KING.

Mainly at the suggestion OF several of
our leading mining men, and also from a
desire to give to the public the testimony
of an educated and successful mining
expert, we mmen the publication OF
the evidence given at tie recent trial be-
tween the Richmond and Consolidated
Mining Companies Mt Eureka. 1t will
be found both interesting and instructive
reading, and so clearly are the descriptions
given OF the variety Of forms and shapes
in which the precious metals are con-
cealed from human vision, that all can
readily understand its meaning. We
have also another object in view in this
publication, and that Is, to allow people
having adverse views to those published,
the opportunity of airing their various
opinions, all OF which must result to the
benefit Of scientific exploration in search
Of minerals. The remarkable pre-, i :
tons made by Mi. King regarding the
Comstock lode stands in history as either
tue result Of a great knowledge of the
formation of ore bodies, or else the great
est piece of lucky guess-work it has ever
been our fortune to read.

A VILE BRUTE.-His name is J.. s.
Woodman, his residence at Stockton,
and his crime incest with his own daugh-
ter. The brute was a well-liked dancing
master; one of those dandifed apes whom
the ladies agree in calling such a "love
of a man." which specimens of the genus
homo generally turn out just as this one
has done. The papers say he is in Jail.
We would like to see his neck stretched

FEARFUL
ONFLAGRA7ION F.!
Hamilton in Ashes!
Destruction d Property

After a period OF nearly FIVE years, dur.
ing which our city has been singularly
free from fires Of any magnitude, we are
called upon to chronicle the most devas-
tating co~nfiagration which has occurred
here during its existence. At the time oil
writing, Is o'clock, A. NJ the shoulder.
ing ruins of all the business portion Of
Hamilton City, on both sides of Main
street, from Withington's building, above
Hamilton street on the south, to within
a short distance of the Smoky Mill on
the north are to be seen.
During the excitement and consequent
turmoil attendant upon such occasions it
will be impossible to give more than a
casual estimate of the losses incident to
this fearful calamity. We are called upon
to perform a disagreeable duty but N
none the less incumbent, and the facts are
substantiated by the evidence of nearly
every man, and child in Hamilton,
and proven by the assertions of the Fire
Department which is, that the White
Pine Water Company were culpably
negligent in the performance of their
contract with the city, inasmuch as, on
the morning of the fire, it must have been
fully two hours before an amount of water
could be obtained, it having been turned
partly off during the night. As We our
selves can testify, at $50 the conflagra-
ton burst forth. and at $50 no water had
been brought to bear upon any n point,
even the engine house being burned
down.
1t would be impossible to estimate the
losses by this calamity, but from a care
full survey of the situation we cannot put
the loss at a less figure than a grand total
of $780, O0.
The only redeeming circumstance,
which will give a crumb of comfort amid
the surrounding desolation, is the spirit
displayed by the people Of all degrees,
expressed in hopeful and assuring words
OF comfort to each other. Business men,
while looking upon the ruins Of their
property, rs the fierce flames leaped from
roof to roof, were gazing around to zee
what could be done toward saving other
property, and where would be a suitabl.
place to again start business. Our saloon
keepers, without an exception, have re-
moved what little stock they saved into
other buildings, and have opened bust
ness in the primitive style Of 40. There
are 80 many acts of individual sacrifice
of their own property, to assist Others
more in need, that our estimate of human
nature has been considerably raised since
$50 this morning. On every hand, of
fers of assistance from one to another
could be heard, and all seemed to vie in
offering every comfort to those in need.
The individual losses cannot, at the
present writing. be computed but the
approximate value of the property de-
stroyed will surely come up to the figures
mentioned above.
Many poor families are turned out of
their homes much suffering must ensue,
but we trust in that Providence which
guards over all for relief. Our people
are thoroughly alive to the situation,
and will unite in helping one another.
