mine aud mill were shut down during
the time the fire was rigging. The hose
belonging TO tho two buildings was at
,ached to tho different hydrants, and
the bulldogs AMI lumber surrounding
them were given n thorough wetting
down. Tho water which is used by the
mine and mill whom running. was then
shut of. so that the supply for the Fro
Department should not give out. Had
| this not been done there IL nc telling
| how long IL would have held out. Mono
| OF the fremen or others engaged in put
ting the fire out. received any serious
injury. although J. W. Baker. Of En-
CINE Company No. 2, received rather
a severe cut ON the forehead. by being
struck by nm ~unmanageable nozzle.
The FIRE was snbiued In about nm hour.
but broke out again about 10 o'clock. II
was soon put out. q watch OF several
men put on. and n hose attached to a
hydnpt q short distance above. on
Union street. to be ready in case OF q
similar emergency during the remainder
Of the night. While the men were
crowding around the c~istern. on the Z
ner Of d and Union streets, during tha
last excitement. Peter wilmot fell into
the cistern. and would probably have
drowned, had not Martin Wiley went
into the cistern to his assistance. As 1t
was both came near drowning. Wiley be-
ING the nearest gone Of the two when
tish,d out.
MrSERs' RKrsios. Tho excitement
incident to the fire in Virginia City. kept
many miners. who would otherwise
have been in tho procession last even
| ing. away. Tho delegation which eame
to Gold Hill from Virginia, was from
he same cause late in arriving here.
The boys from Silver City. accompanied
by their drum corps, were promptly on
hand. When the Virginia delegation
arrived the whole procession. number.
ing over n thousand men. moved mp
Main street towards Virginia City. Ar
irving in Virginia. they moved quietly
through G street, down Union, to Pr
per's Opera House. where the social part
oi the evenings proceedings wero prin-
cipally conducted. A great many wero
unable TO gain admission. as the Opera
House would not hold all who wished TO
enter. and they. therefore, had to 50
away. Tho proceedings inside OF the
Opera House were open only to men,
l.rs Of the Union. and re-
porter was unable TO gain n full
r,port Of tho proceedings, but was able
to learn that, after n few speeches aud
songs by the Presidents and prominent
member. of the different Unions, great
ius,ice was done to the refreshments
botb solii and liuuid that were furnish
.l for the occasion. The proceedings Of
the whole evening, we are assured, were
CHARACTERIZED by moderation; no intern
perate speeches being made. such re-
unions as that Of last evening. servo to
unite the laboring men in closer bonds
Of sympathy and friendship. and Mt tho
SAME time, Ivy the moderation which
characterized tho whole proceedings. arc
An excellent means Of keeping indiscreot
persons from duing any overt acts tina.
might tend TO bring tho Unions into
l~isrrpu,e or difficulty. Every man pres.
emf went home in the full possession Of
his sober senses, which Of itself, says
much for all those in attendance.
