Improvements Of all kinds are being
vigorously pushed ahead in the burn.
district OF Virginia. The thirty feet OF
the Ophir shaft that were burned have
been repaired, the tunnel on Il street
has been retimbered, and the track re-
laid so that material for building can
now be taken to the Consolidated Vir-
GINA mine and mill. The work of
clearing away the rubbish at the Con-
solidated mill is being vigorously pros.
ecuted, one-balf of the pans having
been already got out of the way. In
doing this a ton OF bullion has been
already got out OF the way. In doing
this a ton of bullion has been found,
and before the work is completed 1t is
expected that this will be- raised to
two. A new and larger office will be
built on the size of the old II near the
mill. The work Of repairing also goes
steadily aud rapidly on at the Consoli
daled and Ophir mines, and the regu-
lar for the last four or five days. 100
IONS of ore from the former is he ng
daily hoisted through the Gould &
Curry shaft.
As many persons in this vicinity
seem impressed with the idea that la
Dor is i'm demand and work easily OBJ
tanned in Virginia City, and a few talk
of going to the burnt city, to disabuse
their minds, we reproduce the follow.
ing from the Gold Hill NeDs of Mon
day: "In the face of the fact that hun
dreds of people are to-day homeless in
Virginia City, and dependent on the
public charity for support, there are
still a great number of people so Ut
terly devoid of common sense that
they are f1ocking to the city in the hope
of obtaining work. To all who have
any idea of coming here we would say
most emphatically-keep away! This
is no place for you, for there are alto
gether too many here now. Almost
any place in the world Is better for q
working man to-day than Virginia
City"
We learn from B. F. Lackey, private
detective of Virginia City, says the
Gold Hill News, that no trace whatever
can be found OF Martin Slusher and
Miss Alice Carter, both of whom were
known to be in the city the dav pre-
vious to the fire, and it is feared that
they persisted by the fla mes. MIR.
Slusher was a young man Of German
descent, employed for some time as a
waiter in Evans chop house, and was
at the time of the FIRE, night Waterman
on A and Il streets. 1t is thought that
the charred remains found at Single
toms lodging house, between Union
and Taylor streets, were his. Miss
Carter was lodging in the Williams &
Bixler building at the time Of the fire.
John Sullivan, who sustained a frac-
ture of the pelvic bone by the falling

noon. Tim. Driscoll, whose knee pan
was fractured at the same time. and
who received, probably, internal in
~juries, is in a critical condition.
Several attempts have been made
within the last week to fire the town
of Carson. The last was on Sunday
night, when a shed was set on fire, but
it was discovered and subdued before
it caused much damage.
