King, OF the Eureka Mill, was exer-
cising the fine team belonging to Su-

$500. A post mortem examination
was made of the remains, and the

are none too many fine horses in thi.

SUFFERING FOR EXCITEMENT
The average Sabbath day at Silver
City is not celebrated for excitement.
There are no picnics to speak of, and
the brass band is very lazy about
playing on the Plaza these moonlight
nights. 1t has, in fact, been too much
the custom of our people TO seek the
elevations of Gold Hill and across the
Divide on Sundays, but yesterday
was an exception. At least there was
such representation of the festive
typestters down from the enterprise"
office that we had no place to put
'em. They reported the day so ex-
tremely dull pat Virginia, and no
better at Gold Hill, that they came
on down here, where there is real life
and to spare at all times and espe-
cially on Sundays. 1t was so exces-
sively lively and uproarious yesterday
that it was almost impossible to hear
watch tick as far up as the Devils
Gate.

BELcHER FIRE.- On Saturday
moraing about 8 O'Clock a fire broke
out at the Belcher mine, which came
near consuming the entire works OF
the company. 1t originated in the
rope house, near the main building
by the upsetting of bucket Of hot
tar. The Gold Hill firemen and also
Chief McNair, of Virginia, rendered
all possible assistance. The loss will
probably reach $4,000, large quaint
ties of ropes, tar tanks, tubes, etc,
being lost. Some little inconvenience
and delay were caused in getting
water on the flames, owing to some
portions of the hose being frozen,
Altogether, it was a narrow escape.
