to Hades for a pleasure tour in tho

met the same general fate as did a
majority Of the citizens of that city
during the recent fire. In a word,
they lost all, and in a single hour
found themselves out of a lucrative
engagement, their wardrobe and
manuscripts burned up, and them
selves completely "set on foot"
many miles from home or an engage
ment. The leading members Of the
company could possibly find means
to leave the State. The majority of
them could not. In order to place
the company, one and all, on an in
dependent financial footing, Mr..
John Jack, very talented actor, has
taken the management of the COM
pany, and proposes to give series
of performances at Gold Hill, Silver
City, Dayton, Carson, and other
places, for the express purpose of
sending the various members of the
company to their homes. 1t will be
observed that Miss Firmin, Miss
Douglass and other members have
not deserted their fellows in this ex-
tremity, but stand by them, as they
should do. The company opened at
Miners Union Hall, Gold Hill, last
evening, in "Uncle Toms Cabin"
playing to a generously full house,
and will produce the splendid drama
of the Hidden Hand at the same
place this evening, with Miss Annie
Firman as "Capitola Black" and
John Jack, we take it for granted, as
"Old Hurricane" 1t is superfuous
to add that both the vivacious, witty.
capricious little "Capitola and the
clustering, goodhearted, hot-headed
"Old Hurricane p" will be most cx-
cellently rendered. On Monday
evening the company will appear at
ARMORY HALL, SILVER CITY,
In "Uncle Toms Cabin" and on
Wednesday evening at the same
place in the Hidden Hand" On
Tuesday evening they will appear at
oDEoN HALL, DAYTON,
In "Unclc Tome Cabin" for one
night only. New scenery for these
plays has been painted since the
fire; the company have given their
full strength to the casts of each
play, and we know will produce a
better entertainment than they would
do under ordinary circumstances at
the Opera ITcuse. Their soul is in
the work, and while they ask the
patronage Of the people to assist
them in getting to their homes, they
will make everybody feel that they
have rendered a fall equivalent for
the price of admission. We bespeak
a full house for them here, at Gold
Hill, Dayton, and wherever they may
appear. Go yourselves, take your
wives and all the little ones-to see
"Uncle Toms Cabin" The Hidden
I.and,' and the best performance
that will be given in Nevada for
months to come. Tickets can be
had at the Postoffice, Chrysopolis
Saloon, Armory Hall, and at the
door the evening Of the performance.

FfRE!-Just at this time the men,
ton of that little word sets one in .
fever of excitement, and as the alarm
was sounded from the engine house
yesterday noon large crowd rushed
up the hill above the Plaza to the
scene of the incipient conflagration.
Our reporter, one Of the first on the
ground the fell down going up the
hilD, found on arrival that a defec-
tive stove pipe had set fire to the
roof of a neat little cabin, on the
upper end OF Sum init Avenue, be-
longing to and occupied by Mr..
Paul Bray. The roof was in a blaze,
by the time the engine got on the
ground, but, by the Babcocks and
the efficient help of the citizen water
force, the fire was promptly extln-
guished. The roof is wreck, how
ever, and it will cost about 500 to
repair the damage. The furniture
was got out intact. Do be careful
OF those stove-pipes.

THE MILLS TO BE SHUT Down.
Ono of the most disastrous
effects of the Virginia fire is the prob
able closing down Of all the mills
formerly supplied by the ophir and
Consolidated Virginia mines. These
are 16 in number-aggregating 434
stamps, as follows. Ophir, s mills
Kelsey, Is; Pacific, 30; Nevada,
20; Winfield, IS; Empire State, 20
100. Consolidated Virginia, IL
mills-Brunswick, So; Trench, 20;
Bacon, 20; Morgan, 40; Occidental
20; DEVILS Gate, IL; Hoosier State,
"a, Mariposa, IL; Sacramento 10;
Con Virginia, so; California, Gust
completely, 60. These mills employ
in the aggregate something over
1000 men, not including those at
work outside the mills proper. This
alone cuts off money supply to
laborers of not less than $4,000 or
IS 900 per day-say $50, 900 per week.
The mines that are still shipping ore
are the Crown Point, Belcher, I'm
perial and Chollar. The Sierra Ne
vada supplies its own mill. It only
requires a thought to realize what an
immense consequent" loss entails
upon the laborers of the Comstock.
To them, the temporary stoppage Of
this money supply Is greater than
the loss of their homes and what
they have lost in personal property
Such losses and computation as the
above, when added to the direct loss
of buildings, goods and machinery,
would swell the aggregate to many
millions.

Additional evidence, just learned,
to sustain the theory of the Super
intendent, is told us by Mr.. Jack
Sherman. He says that Mr.. George
Sherman, his brother, while passing
by the DEVILS Gate mill on his way
to the South Comstock mine, was
passed by man on fast run to-
ward Silver City. The man gave no
alarm, nor said y word, and by the
time that Sherman got up the side
of the hill toward the Comstock-
say three minutss--he saw the
blaze. This would seem to place
the origin Of the fire beyond doubt.
All we have to say is that it will not
be . lucky moment for the man or
men who may be sometime caught
applying the incendiary torch. 1t
seems to US that the 1901" will find
