.,,v Escape From a Destructive
Fire.


pa,waep 8 and C o'clock yesterday
o,n;ng there came near being destruc.
ere in the very heart Of town. The ire
,oor Mace in the rear end Of Johnston's
,,rsrv stable. on Meadow Valley street.
twas caused by and through the care
Is.snes, Of a Chiuaman. who emptied
some ashes against the boards which form
tho rear end of the stable. In the ashes
ms, have been some sparks or live Goals.
and thereby the boards took fire, the
bl,ze running up aud connecting with the
.oof Fortunately the stable has small
h,.e and near by where the fire caught
was trough containing water. By the
,rompt use OF these means. SO
near at hand, the employees about the
stable, and others who happened to be
m at that early hour, speedily extin-
ouished the flames.
Owing to the early hour and the celer-
;tv with which the fire was extinguished,
there was no general alarm. and compar-
lively few people were aware of the mar
row escape the town made from o very
destructive fire. The hose carriage ar
riyed upon the ground, but owing to an
occdent-the drag rope getting between
the reel and the frame of the carriage,
winding around the axle and preventing
the reel from turning--the hose boys
we're subjected to a vexatious delay and
prevented from stretching their hose in
proper time. Another annoying circum-
Stance was that the spanners which
ouoht TO have been in the hose box had
been surreptitiously removed, and could
not be found when SO much needed.
The spanners were in their proper place
the evening before the fire, and it is not
unreasonable to suppose that they were
taken away by some one acquainted with
the hose house and its sur
roupdings, or that the abstraction
of the spanners was for the accom-
plishment of wicked purpose. In this
connection, we beg to call the attention
Of the Board of County Commissioners
and The people generally to the condi-
ton of the shanty which by courtesy is
called the hose house. 1t is entirely
open, and whoever may be so disposed
can enter and cut the hose or commit
any other irreparable mischief. We
hope some steps will be taken, without
delay, to improve the condition of the
apparatus by which the fremen are ex-
pected to combat fires and save property.
it is hardly proper to throw the whole
burden of maintaining the Fire Depart
ment upon its members; the burden
should be borne by the entire commune
ty, for all are interested in maintaining
it. Cold weather is coming on now, and
in the event of destructive FIRE much
personal suffering and perhaps death
from exposure would be added to the
pecuniary loss which the town wonld
have to sustain. r.

FROM STEKEEN RIvER.-We are per-
mitted to make the following extract
from Peter Cargotich's letter to friend
in Phoebe, dated Buk's Bar. Stekeen
river, October "a, 1878:
Many people in Phoebe may remem-
Der my expedition to this country, and
therefore in these few lines / will in
form you of the discovery of which l
made this Summer in the CASTER coun-
try, 1875 miles north of this place. Near
this place are two creeks, named Tibert
creek and Dires creek, upon the banks
Of which, with rockers, from two ounces
to $3.50 day is made to the hand. The
gold is coarse-being in pieces of from
ten cents to sos. One OF our country
men came down to-day, with other min.
er's. from the upper mines. He says
that man refused to work with a rocker
where it paid only two ounces day.
notice that all the miners are coming
down with full purses Of gold, and all re-.
port the mines looking well, being very
rich and more easy to work than Cali
fornia mines in old times. AN waiting
here, with rs miners and supplies Of pro-
visions, for the ice to melt, SO that I can
go up to the mines. l think there will
be a big rush Of people here this Spring.

The RATTLE FOR JESSE BEENk's HOUSE.
Night before last, it will be remembered,
there was rattle at Hoey x Nixon's sa-
loon for q house and lot on McCannon
street, in Phoebe, now occupied by Jesse
Beene as q residence. The rattle over,
the judges certified to the winning num-
Der, which was held by man named d.
Graham. But Mr.. Beene refused to give
possession Of the property, alleging that
the winning number (254) had been
lost or stolen, and that therefore the re-
puted winner was not entitled to the
property. We understand that some le-
gal steps (not Of strictly civil nature)
may be taken in regard to the matter.
The transaction looks somewhat suspic-
ious; but in the hope Of seeing an hon.
orable and fair adjustment, we append
the award of the judges and secretaries,
viz:
PHOEBE, New. Nov. 81, 1873.
We, the undersigned, judges of the
drawing of the rattle of the house and lot
occupied by Jesse Beene, on McCanuon
street, in Phoebe, Nevada, do hereby Ger.
tify that ticket No. 254. held by d. Gra-
ham, who threw the highest number, be-
ing5l, is entitled to the said house and
lot, and that all other tickets bearing
said number (254) are forgeries.

SsuAus Outhoxes
Under the caption Of "What will the
Next Congress Do?" citizen of Phoebe
gives expression to the emotions awak-
ened by the shocking affair OF the vir-
ginius. He writes as follows:
Congress meets on the LIST of Deem.
Der, and, il its members be true to their
country and worthy of the seats they
occupy, ere fifteen days will have elapsed,
they will pass resolutions demanding of
old Spain every member Of the court
martial which condemned to death the
ofncers. crew and passengers of the
American steamer Virginius, to be tried
by court martial on board of an Ameri-
can msn-of-war, and, il found guilty, TO
De hung at the yard arms as murderers.
Old Spain refusing prompt compliance,
these men should be Immediately out
lawed by the United States Government
and sufficient force, both naval and
military, sent to Cuba to capture, try
and execute them fer murder. Under
no circumstances should the members of
that court martial be treated like soldiers.
This late barbarity has proven beyond a
doubt, the total incapacity of Spain to
restrain her own officers, or govern her
colonies. To prevent similar occur
ance in the future, let our Governme mt
at once declare the island forfeited to the
United States for the many and grievous
wrongs We have suffered at her hands.
All Christendom would applaud this ac-
ton and congratulate the United States
on her humane decision. kilograms in
form us that our whole country is up
heaving with excitement and a strong
desire to ayenge this inhuman massacre.
1t needs but governmental direction and
