We take the following items from
the White Pine News" Of October
SOth:
Mr.. Patterson, Superintendent OF
the Philadelphia Smelling Company,
informs us that the furnace is now
properly dried, and that smelling
will commence to-day. As we have
before stated, the furnace is built
upon an entirely different plan from
any other in this State, and during
its construction some improvement
have been added which has caused
considerable delay. The company
hope to make two months run, and
will do so if the weather will permit,
a. they have ore and fuel enough on
hand to make this run.
BY q special dispatch received
here, We leara that our old fellow
townsman, Marco Medin, was a big
loser by the late fire in Virginia City
All of his houses, even to the one he
occupied, we're burned. His numer.
GUS friends here sympathize with
him.
Gilmer s. Salisbury, the enterpris-
ing stage men Of Utah and Eastern
Nevada, have purchased the entire
stage outfit of the E. d P. r. r. Com.
pany, including the route from Eu-
rslEs to Hamilton, The purchase in
cludes the stock and coaches which
formerly run between this place and
Alpha, and they have now over 200
head Of extra hossss.
During the week the Eberhardt
and Aurora Company shipped by
Wells, Fargo d Co. nineteen bars Of
bullion, valued At eoo,5oS 10.

BUR0LARY.-A daring burglary
occurred at about half past one
O'Clock yesterday morning at the
.Alhambra saloon, Main street, this
city. The night was unusually
dark, and all business houses had
been closed early, and in the per-
vsding quiet which followed these
snimble knights Of the skeleton key
entered the saloon by mere force,
completely tearing tho lock from
the door. This was easily done, as
it was only held by two small
screws penetrating the casing about
.one-fourth OF IN inch. Luckily for
the propriesors, they had taken ell
the money out Of the drawer except
% single ton cent piece, and the
burglars got only this. . box Of
cigars and . imeerschsum pipe,
valued at S25. Wash" Henry,
who was just coming from the JUS
tice mine, saw the burglars running
up the street toward tho Devils
Gate, but at the time did not of
course know who they were or what
they had been mp to. II wash"
had only had the slightest suspicion
that they were fleeing burglars,
they would now be undergoing an
examination before Judge Gould.
With the present state Of total de-
pravity and financial restitution,
we may expect to freq uently hear of
like occurrences.

FAIsK ALARM.-A large column
Of smoke rising up out Of Crown
Point Ravine yesterday afternoon
gave a temporary circulation to a
rumor that Gold Hill was on fire.
1t afterwnrd TRANSFERRED that the sage
brush on tn. mountains at the head
of Crown Point Ravine had taken

A we'll informed insurance agent
estimates that the total loss to the
several insurance companies by the
late fire in Virginia will aggregate
$4,000, 900. He also estimates that
this amount will be decreased by
perhaps fifteen per cent. by salvage
and other contingencies. The total
insurance loss has been placed at
81, 200. 900 but this estimate was
evidently based upon incorrect ex-
hibits. The agents Of several Of
the companies have placed their
losses far below what they really
are. It may therefore be assumed
that the insurance companies are
indebted to the people Of Virginia
to tho amount Of something more
than 81 500 900, after all deductions
Of salvage. SO says the ENTER
prise"

The citizens Of Gold Hill are on
guard nightly and all the time at
present, believing that constant
vigilance is the price Of safety. In
cendiaries and other sooundrels Of
the, deepest dye are known TO be
among us ; fellows who would not
hesitate to burn the town II they
sAws good chance. merely for the
opportunity created for plumber.
Yes, and some Of those fellows owe
the country no goodwill, for they
or their friends were hung or other
wise interrupted in their opera
lions BY "6O1," not many
months ago in virgiais City.
It is the duty of every good
citizen to buckle on his revolver
and keep his shotgun ready now,
for the incendisry fire Of evening
before last ct the Silver Hill works
is merely an indication Of what may
be looked out for. Our town trus-
tees fully appreciate the situation,
and have q large number Of special
policemen on duty every night.
Suspicious characters found prowl-
ing about will have to give .
straight account of themselves, and
any villain caught in the act Of set
ting FIRE or doing anything which
looks like it, will b. shot down in
his tracks. No arrests will be made
for either murder or arson, for our
people are not in pleasant frame
Of mind at present. All sorts Of
scoundrels had better leave while
they can, for il trouble starts, it is
difficult to say where it may end

So, TOO, with Southern men who nave CHOSEN 10
join the republican party; they are az once de-
nounced as ''vile renegades,n entirely regardless
OF their actual character. Thus Judge Niles, VINO
represented a Mississippi district in the last Con-
gress, is haoitualy spoken OF as 'that renegaoe
Niles.n Now Mr.. Niles is man Of singular purity
OF character, quiet scholar, an old resident OF
the State, planter. No democrat pretends that
he Is dishonest that ne tolerates corruption
But he is a republican, therefore ne is a "vile
renegade not mt for the society OF decent men.
The same course is pursued toward the colored
voters. They nave among them some-a few
men OF education and honest desires for good
government. But these are denounced, In conf
mon with the whole herd OF ignorant and easily
corruptible black voters, who arc the prey or de-
signing and INSCRIPTIONS white politicians. On
the otner hand, q man ceases TO be "carpet-
baggern the moment be becomes O democrat.
For instance former sheriff OF Warren county
then republican, Northern man, has recently
become a democrat, and at once made q
respectable citizen" Yet Is notorious that no
came TO the State poor, is now worm over 100000
and does not own collars worth OF property In
the state. He keeps his means In BONDS aud
other securities, and, 1t Is said pays no taxes ar
all In Mississippi. But the democrats do not
hesitate TO accept him, while they cry out "car-
pet-bagger" against men who have invested all
their means In the State and are large taxpayers.
Now "you can't catch flies with vinegar.n The
natural result OF this stupid intolerance among
the democratic leaders Is that the honest repub-
licans are driven and kept in the republican
ranks. They have no other place. They must
either remain silent or vote the republican ticket.
1t is not an exaggeration TO say that the demo-
Gratis OF Mississippi themselves keep up the color
line OF which they complain so bitterly II Is
their folly and intolerance which masses the
negroes and tlngs them into the hands OF Ames,
and makes them what they really area real dan
ger to the State. This folly goes on in the face OF
the conspicuous fact that the negroes have nu-
merical majority in the state, and that without
intimidation IL would seem 10 be Impossible for a
white line" party to obtain political control OF
the State,
Lest should give you false impression OF MIS-
sssppi, must tell you that there is no wish or
hope among her politicians or people for the least
trouble with the federal government, no expecta-
ton or desire for the reinstatement oil the blacks
or the change or any constitutional amendment;
not the least wish for new repelion.n No one
can truthtuy say the reverse or this. The disease
which afllcts society and politics in Mississippi,
and which threatens serious effects is OF a differ
ent nature entirely. The honest and sensible
men have 20 too great an extent abandoned their
violence, which would not exist but for their tame
compliance.
In another letter will give you some examples
TO show how far this apathy goes and whittier 1t
tends. CHARLES NoRDHoFF.
