was passing by Buffers assay Office, on
upper Meadow Valley street, discovered
smoke and flames within, and found the
door locked. He kicked open the door,
entered, and saw one of the partitions
and the roof in flames. As he rushed
out for water and assistance the engine
of the Phoebe Company sounded the
alarm, and the fire was soon extinguished.
If Mr.. Goodman, who is first assistant OF |
the hook and ladder company, had not
acted promptly, an extensive cohtiagra-
ton would have certainly resulted, rs the
assay Office is at the lower end of and
connected with long row of frame struc-
lures. 1t is proper to say that MIR. But
Ter cannot be charged with carelessness
in the matter, as he was suddenly called
off on imperative business when his fur

BURIAL OF J. w. ERIsMAN-REMARKA-
BILE FATAL1TY.-The remains of John W.
Erisman were yesterday afternoon con-
signed to their last resting place by his
brother Odd Fellows. He arrived here
two or three months ago, from Spring
field, ILL.,, and took a contract to cut
cord wood. He had been working but
few days, when his ak slipped, int1icting
a slight wound on his left knee-cap.
Surgical aid was not promptly secured,
and the wound grew worse until the en-
tire leg was affected. After weeks of in
describable suffering, he died from the
effects of this trihing cut A singular
fatality has attended the family of Mr..
Erisman. After leaving home his moth
er took sick and died, her death being
speedily followed by that of his father.
He was an only child. Thus, within
three months, the entire family has
passed away. Mr.. Erisman was an in
telligent, handwriting, industrious man.
How Much GOLD Is THERE IN 800
pIEcE?-A wager was made the other day
by two well-known citizens on the
amount of pure gold in n $2O-piece-the
question being whether the coin con-
tanned, or was intended at the mint to
contain, exactly the value of 500 in gold.
The question was referred to assayer
Butler, formerly connected with the
United States Branch Mint at San Fran
cisco, and he says it is the aim of the
Government to put precisely 500 worth
Of pure gold in every coin of that de-
nomination, and the amount of pure
metal in every other coin that its face
calls for. The depositor Of crude bullion
in the mint pays the parting, coming and
alloying charges outside the amount
he receives in coin.
WRONGLY INFORMED. Our information
published in the last issue, in regard to
the Bullionville mills running on tail
ings, was far from correct. Che or two
mills may have temporarily run on tail
ings, from lack of ore, but little work Of
this kind has been done. The Raymond
& Ely Company have at least 400 tons
of ore ahead of their mills. Our inform
ant, who had just come up from Bull
lionville, is a gentleman of veracity, bu
he was misinformed.
