Thomas Anderson, says the San Diego
Union of the 18th. died in this city yes
terday of hemorrhage, after an illness Of
several weeks. Mr.. Anderson was a
native of Great Britain, but nothing
among his effects can be found TO show
where he was from or where his relatives
reside. He was member Of Whining
ton (Cal.) Lodge, f. and A. NJ, and had
been in Sandiego but short time prevl-
Gus to his death, though he formerly re-
sided here. Any one having a knowl-
edge of his relatives will please confer
with Mr.. f. n. Pauly, Master OF the San
Diego Lodge, No. 80, F. and A. NJ.
The fire on Commercial street Tuesday
morning. says the Salt Lake Tribune OF
the 10Th, broke out in the rear Of a two
story frame building owned By Mr.. Jas.
Gordon. and soon communicated to the
the first building south, owned by }. w.
Hooper and Mr.. Hawkins. The build
ings we're both nearly destroyed. with a
loss of 81 600. There was an insurance
on Mr.. Gordon's property of $500, but
the other was uninsured. The Hooper
building was occupied by a tailoring
shop, and boot and shoe mandatory on
the ground floor, while the upper story
was tenanted by family OF two Scandi-
navians, and the other house had been
unoccupied for some months.

Sentinel OF the 22d the three prisoners
who escaped from the County Jail on
Thursday night, are still at large. Sher-
| if Gilmore and other officers are using
every effort to recapture them, and it is
| expected that the trio will soon he back
in their old quarters with term of
"State Prison" awaiting them. 1t is
said that Moore has had the necessary
tools to effect an escape for some time
past, and had he been found guilty as
indicted by the last grand jury he in-
tended to go to some place other than
the State Prison. 1t seems more than
probable that he secured the horse and
saddle missing the night of his escape
from McKernan's stable, and not Tyler,
as at first thought

George copper mines and samples OF
metal from the same produced by the
smelter. The mine shows vein of thirty
feet, at depth OF seventy feet, and the
ore assays 1870 ounces silver and forty
per cent. copper. Mr.. Homsn informs
us that with the present facilities ten
tons of ninety per cent. metal can be
produced every twenty-four hours, ana
the furnace can be run at this rate the

purpose of finding. market for the
copper and making arrangements to in
crease the product. Ore buyers and
others interested. can see the samples
at the Tribune Office.
