FIRE DEpARTMENT.-We are glad to
sse that this useful body of men are
alive TO the necessity of keeping their
or,on;zstion in an effective condition. "a
durirc these high winds their services
NAV at any moment be needed. 1t was
or,v the other day that Palisade was
very nearly destroyed. A strong gale
wos blowing, and scattered the shingles
and embers in every direction, so that
The town caught fire in dozen different
places. and it was only by the most de-
termined exertions that it was saved.
This ought to be o warning to our citi-
,ens and render them more cautious
and watchful than ever. We have an
excellent and devoted body of men as
fremen, who will do all that in them lies
to extinguish any fire that may occur,
but an ounce OF prevention is worth q
pound of cure. and the cheapest way is
for our citizens to look after their stove
pipes, chmneys, lamps, etc.. and see
that they are safe. If that is done prop
erly, a fire is not at all likely to occur.
BASE BALL Our citizens must not
forget that next Sunday the return match
is to come off between the Phoebe club
and the Piute club of Bullionvile. If it
is a fine day, and really Nevada weather
at this time OF the year is so capricious,
that it is difficult to tell whether it will
snow like fury, or blow like a hurricane,
but wind and weather permitting, the
match will be played. We hear that a
number Of Piochers intend to visit the
City of Mills on the occasion. Without
the slightest dlsrespect to, or lack of re.
gard for the good folks of Bullionville,
we must say that our wishes are greatly
in favor of our home club, and we can
not but hope that they again will prove
victorious. We, however, warn them
that they had better keep in practice, for
otherwise it is probable that they will
place their laurels in danger
UNITED STATES MINING LAws.-We
have received some communications on
the subject of the proposed extension OF
the time for performing assessment
work, and they are all in favor of the
amendment. This view seems to be
generally shared by the press of the
State. Under these circumstances, we
hope our Representative in Congress
VIII do his best to secure the passage of
the proposed extension of time. There
are many Woodworking men on whom
It is probable the rigid enforcement OF
the law as it now stands will act inju-
riovsly, and therefore, as its amendment
can injure no one. it would only be Just
and considerate to afford them addi-
tlonal time TO secure their interests in
their claims.
SrMMERING.-We may be mistaken,
hut it seems to us as if the folks were
already beginning to poke fuel under the
political cauldron. If they begin this
early, JENNY! won't they get a welding
heat by the time the primaries and con.
yentions are held. However that may
be, we notice that already there seems to
be good deal of caucusing, button-h ol.
ing and mysterious interviews going on
Heavens and earth! in two or three
months there will be more buzzine thar
