FIRE AT THE COSMOPOLITAN
We regret to learn that the black
smith shop of the Cosmopolitan
mine was totally destroyed by fire
at about ten o'clock last Thursday
evening. The old shop was des-
troyed in the same manner about
four months ago, and the new
building was erected at consider
able expense. No one was known
to be in or near the shop when the
fire took place, the entire night
force being in the tunnel at the
time. Mr.. J. X. Landers, the
night boss OF the mine, says that
previous to going into the tunnel
he had jus. left the shop, and he is
certain that everything WAS all
right. Not over twenty minutes
had elapsed when he returned from
the tunnel, and found the building
in ashes. The loss, besides the
building and tools, includes nearly
all the clothing of the miners en-
ployed, as the shop was also used
as a dressing-room. The loss on
the building is in the neighbor-
hood of $500. Mr.. Landers and
others connected with the mine
think they have good reason for
stating that the fire was the work
of an incendiary. We do not know
npon what they base their sus-
picions, but it seems almost in
credible that any one should will
fully set such building on fire to
quench q spite against the en-
ployees of the mine. Measures
have been taken to investigate the
affair, and if an incendiary should
be found the severest penalty
known to the law should be infiict-
ed. The building will be replaced
at once.

THE FIREMAN'S BALL.
A Brilliant and Successful Affair.

The grand ball given at Arfnory
Hall on last Thursday evening by
the Silver City Hook Il Ladder
Company was one of which not
only the Fire Company, but the
city, may we'll be proud. Despite
all that had been said Of the inau-
spicious time-just after the Bank
failure-and the general dlsinclina
ton for amusements of this kind so
early in the season, the assemblage
which gathered at Armory Hall on
Thursday evening was the largest
and most brilliant that we have met
in a Silver City ball room. The
large floor was filled at every an
nouncement. To be brief as possible,
the hall was in excellent condition;
the music was the very best that
Prof. Varney and assistants can
furnish with the same number of
instruments; the supper at the Sil-
yer House was gotten up In Bennett
Bros. best style, and the order and
behavior of guests was completely
unexceptionable. We saw not
man upon tie floor who was the
worse for liquor, nor heard the
slightest dissatisfaction OF the con-
duct of affairs in any quarter. The
ladies paid the fire laddies" and
their becoming uniforms many
handsome compliments, and made
many "red shirt" happy by giving
their hands in the dance. The toll
cts of the fair ones, both married
and single, were arranged in excellent
taste, and among the many superbly
fitting suits, judgment is placed
completely at defiance 10 make a Sc
lection. OF the beauty, grace and
style, nearly every one has differ
ent opinion and must choose for
themselves Whe belle of the ball
ROOM"
Fair complexion's the standard Of some.
While many dark beauty doth prize
The maid with the tresses cfjd,
And the maid with hearen blue eyes,
Each have host of admirers,
As everyone naturally supposes:
But really, for q complexion that wears.
Gold Hill says, give US "asAs: cfroses.
If the reporter is left to make
choice, however, Dayton, Silver
City and Gold Hill shall equally de-
vide the honors, for each city sent a
representation that for beauty and
grace would adorn the most fashion
able ball room OF the Eas tern States.
Dancing was kept up until a very
late hour, AND the goodly company
retired to their homes, each one
feeling that tire entertainment had
proved all that had been promised.
Wecongratulate the Fire Company
upon the success they haveacheived,
and can assure them they have
thereby placed very large feather
in their caps.

MASON VALLEY.-Assessor o. E.
Nash, has just returned from an as
sessing tour over IN the Walker
River country, and brings home a
glowing account of the many at
fractions which render Mason VAL
Icy desirable place to visit. The
valley proper boast of rs to 80 inn
proved ranches, all Of which give
evidence that their owners possess
nerve, energy, and an intention to
stay. The horned stock Of the val
ley are fat, sleek and we'll fit for the
butchers knife, while crops of all
kinds will give bigger yield than
ever before. The gallant Nash de-
moralizes the reportorial brain by
the most extravagantly painted word
portraits of the many pretty young
ladies that have evidently been
smiling upon him, though he doesn't
say SO, and hints that they prefer
hard listed, honest, laboring men
for beaux, to the spindle .shanked,
chicken .muscled, counter.junping,
gaIlants OF large cities like Dayton,
Silver City, New York and Phila.
delphia-all of which will make our
boys more anxious to see the fair
maidens of Walker River. Nearly
all the young folks, and some of the
old ones, are to go to Buckland's
party next Wednesday night, and
were fixing up the ruffies and things
when Nash LEFT. The assessor, who
is little weak on that subject, also
tells whopper about a wonderful
baby--a reigning monarch in the
family of H. +. Swasy-that ais only
seven months old and weighs forty
pounds; has calf as large as q
mans thigh, Tor thigh as large as
a mans calf-which? and is the big
gest and handsomest baby in the
State" The baby was assessed un-
der the head of improvements"

the district are II. F. Swasy, N.

mon, J. NJ. Smith, N. A. Mason,
John Gallagher, Mr.. Plummer, and
John Farrell. Many others, whose
names were not remembered, occupy
desirable positions In the valley.
Altogether, Mason Valley is an i'm
portant section of Lyon county, and
when the Dayton and Columbus
road has been opened for travel, will
be in close reach Of our markets.

The REvoLvER.-What at first
promised to be serious ARRAY. oc-
Cured at an early hour Of Friday
morning near the Drug store. Our
reporter was just returning from
the Firemen's Ball, and arrived on
the ground too late to see the COM
mencement. One shot had been
fired, and the handles Of O dozen
six-shooters were nervously clutch
ed by the friends of those engaged
in the dispute. The moment after
the reporters arrival the affair
seemed to have been settled by
mutual consent, and he found it
impossible to learn the name of
the man who fred the shot. We
would modestly suggest that the
resort TO arms, in this civilized age,
is poor method of adjusting diff
culties, and should be frowned
down by all good citizens.
OBSCENE Observation-Disclosures of
that class of individuals whose
vulgar tongues feel no restraint in
the presence of ladies, has come to
grief. For the benefit of his ante
cedents and the successors to his
name, we shall only identify him
as the itinerant ice-cream peddler
from Virginia City, whose daily
rounds form one of the features of
our street commerce. He had
solicited a sale for his cream, and
on being refused, gave some very
bad language in reply. and,
brought before that rigid conserv-
ator of public morals, Judge
Gould, donated the triAing sum of
s25 to the county. This is the
second example Judge Gould has
made of these unclean gentry, and
we hope he may continue to en-
force the provisions of the law un-
til the practice of insulting ladies
has become extinct in this COM
munity.
