DISASTROUS FIRE IN RENO.

Reno, March 3.-At about quarter to
6 yesterday morning the alarm of fire
was sounded The FIRE commenced in
some wooden buildings at the west end
of the business street back of the Masonic
block. A fearful gale was blowing from
the west at the time, and before the
water could be got on, the fire was be-
yond control. The flames lesped from
house to house and from block to block
with lightning rapidly. The panic
stricken. half-clothed people caught
handful Of their most valuable articles,
and left all else to the demon Of destruc.
ton. The fremen were helpless. The
fierceness OF the wind and the intensity
of the heat rendered it impossible to get
close enough to do any good. In three
hours ell Of the business portion of the
town was in ashes. The only houses
escaping being the Masonic building,
with Hsgerman & Schooling's grocery
store ON its first floor. and John Lar
combe's building. Everything else is
gone. Buildings that stood other fires
without damage. melted before this.
Among the buildings destroyed are the
three freight depots, Bender's bank,
Postoffice, Davidsons & Fredrick's jewell
~ store, Pinneger & Osborne's shoe
makers and drug stores, depot, Interna-
tional and Arcade hotels, both of the
telegraph Offices, Wells, Fargo & Co. 3
Office, railroad baggage rooms, Baptist
and Catholic churches, Hammond i
Wilson's stable, Academy OF Music,
Barnetts, Prescott's and Grey & Isaac, s
| dry goods stores; Abraham IL Nathan g
clothing stores; Manning & Ouch, Far
mers Operative Association grocery
| stores. Two or three Central Pacific
trains, including the lightning train were
destroyed. The condition of the tracks
made it necessary to transfer the passen-
gers to the Virginia and Truckee train
across the river to 60 to Virginia. The
loss as near as can be calculated at this
time is about 81, 900, 900 with only about
$4,000 insurance. Five lives are
known to be lost as far as heard from,
John Beck, John Riley and three tramps.
A number received injuries, but at this
writing it is impossible to get correct in
formation. The gale blowing was the
fiercest known for many day, and it
carried blazing pieces of timber for miles.
Several farm houses situated two miles
down the meadows were burned by this
means. After working until exhausted.
the whites forced the Chinese to work
engines. Already several are having
lumber hauled upon their still smoking
ground. The citizens are throwing open
their doors TO the homeless ones, and
are doing all they can to relieve the dis.
tress. The Central Pacific yard engine
fought the fire bravely until her cab
caught fire and the engineer had to
abandon her to her fate. Reno is now q
suburb without town. and great fears
are entertained as to the ability to sur.

was some years ago left widow in Solano
county, California. At the time of his
death her husband held q quicksilver
claim in which he had much faith.
Quicksilver was then worth over sixty
cents pound. Having no money for
developing the claim, this plucky woman
went to work on it herself. With no
other help than that of her twelve-year-
old boy she ran tunnel to deph OF III
feet. By that time quicksilver dropped
to SO cents. and she reluctantly conclud-
ed that be claim would not pay. In rec
