ginia battery and pan mills, ETC., and
battery mill would also be repaired as
soon as possible. The entire Gould &
Curry mill cost 100000, but the pan
portion Of it was intact. The CONSOLE
dated Virginia mill was also very expen-
sive. The complete difficulty about the
ore production, however, does not lie
in the failure Of the milling facilities,
tor until new establishments were erect
ed recourse could be had to Brunswick
and Morgan mills. which are equal in
capacity to the one burned; besides
there were several other small mills
which could be called into requisition.
AS regards the Ophir mine and works,
dispatches received to-day show the
shaft is all right, and the boilers and
most of the machinery available.
A special dispatch to the stock Ex-
change from Virginia City to-day says
the vault of the Bank of California
Agency was blown open this morning,
and the treasure removed to the Gold
Hill agency.
Several deaths have occurred from ex-
posture, excitement, and typhoid fever
combined.
THE LATEST.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Oct. q, a. m.
"A special dispatch to the Call this
evening from Virginia City says the bus
mess men estimate the loss at 81 $780,
0O0-one-third in foreign companies,
and the rest in local companies. A
large number of women aud children
have been sent to Carson. Gold Hill,
Reno, and California.
Hundreds are in the ruins searching
for articles of value. Safes are being
pulled out and vaults bursted open.
The vault of the Bank of California is
all right, only few papers being lost.
Carson sent a Car load OF provisions
| for 1000. and they are being dealt out
at the First Ward school house. Reno.
Gold Hill, and other towns are sending
food and clothing. There are fully
5000 people without food, beds, roofs,
or money. OF these full 500 are with
out the necessary clothes. Should harsh
weather soon set in much suffering must
ensue.
Rebuilding will 90 on all over the city,
and thus give labor to hundreds in
cleaning the ruins, etc. People are in
good spirits, and while TERRIBLY afflicted
are the quickest, bravest lot ever had
to do with. Hundreds are too proud to.
say they need help, and ladies 60 out
and find women and children needing
food but ashamed to beg it. This feel
ing is relaxing, however, under the kind
Offices OF the relief committee. which is
already partly organized. Some shan
ties are already being put up, Work
men are busy shutting of the broken
water and gas-pipes. and getting the
worst debris out Ut the streets. some
of the streets are utterly lmpassable,
being chokcd with ruins. The fer0city
Of the fire is seen in the twisted, warped
iron work and heavy walls drawn out of
shape. The dangerous walls are being
blown up every few minutes, and others
are being pushed over. The streets
and open lots present n scene OF indie
scribable confusion, being numbered
witt. broken furniture, damaged goods,
and broken machinery.
The machinery OF the hosting works
burned is believed to be tadly damaged,
but not ut erly ruined. the water in the
Consol. dated Virginia being pumped off
