and charities. The committee on
subscriptions. having been up during
the night and being tired out with
work, did not make a general anvass
of the town yesterday. Although they
visited but a few, they realized consid-
cradle money. which amount will be
largely augmented Tomorrow, when
they will make q general call. The to-
lowing are the contributions thus far:
Eureka Consolidated Mining Compa-
ny, 81 LEGO: Richmond Mining Com-
panv. 81 600: Edward Probert. SI0G;
Eureka Lumber Company. 500; Ma
jor W. W. Mccoy, 500; Harry S;rout,
500; w. u. Ilarrub, $50: =. Il. Wv
man. 500: Paxton a Company, $3.50.
The managers of the other mining
companies here did not feel M liberty
to contribute until they could commu-
nicate with the principal officers in
san Francisco. As soon Is they are
heard from the amount will probably
be swclled considerably, and this.
with the amounts donated by private
citizens and that furnished from other
sources, will, it is hoped. be sufficient
to meet the demands of those reqIir-
ing aid.
