GAINESVILLE, TEX, Jan. S.-Last
night about $3.50 o'clock our citizens
were startled by the cry of fire, the
shooting of pistols and the ringing Of
fire bells. The alarm designated the
Second ward as the scene of the con-
Migration, and arriving on the grounds,
the Hudson house, on the corner of
Elm and Dye streets, was found en-
veloped in flameE. 1t was u frame

its progress. The fire communicated
with the adjoining building, the livery
stable of Cook & Alley. -Four streams
We're turned on the burning buildings.
and by the indefatigable forts of the
gallant firemen further disaster was
! presented.
The fire originated in the second
story of tine Hudson house, but Just
how seems to be q mystery. The loss
is estimated at about $500 The Hud-
son house was the property of Mrs.
Jennie Virgin. a widow lady, and WAS
insured for $1,000 All the stock and
vehicles in the livery stable were saw
ed The building was insured for

A frame dwelling in the north part
of town was discovered to be on FIRE
yesterday, but by the application of a
few buckets of water was soon ex.

RENO's HAGNANIMITY.

For many years sort Of ire
pressible conflict has been going on
between the rival towns Of Carson
and Reno. On Saturday last Reno
Invited the citizens Of Carson
down there and gave them a royal
Washoe welcome It was not a
welcome Of emp wv rds, but a ro-
bn>t display CT opcn-hearted hoSpi-
tality, such as comes from the
heart
Mr. Alexander, President Of the
Day, in his remarks said, We
hope to see the people Of Carson
make themselves at home here, to-
day. This town holds nothing too
good for you we welcome each
and every one of you"
The Ranoites carried out this
welcome to the letter, and the
doois of every house and hall were
thrown open to the citizens Of Car
son. Ga the heels of this comes a
dispatch from Reno, published in
the APPEAL Of Yesterday, Offering
condolences in our fiery affection
and profferine money to alleviate
any suffering which might exist.
In fights of all descriptions Reno
has succeeded in besting Carson,
and, now, it beats US to the earth
With kindness. On behalf Of the
citizens Of Carson, the APPEAL
tenders Reno the thanks OF the
sitv, both for its Liberal treatment
Of them on the Fourth and it's
kindly expressions Of sympathy
and proffers of financial aid in our
recent visitation of fire.

Carson is sadly in need Of . new
arrangement bv which fires can be
handled with some degree Of sue
cess. It needs several things in
this line.
Among others, . Chief Of the
Fire Department, some new hose
al Of uniform bore, and some sys-
ten by which the city can be sup
piled with all the water it needs at
, moments notice.
We will consider the first propo-
sition last. At present the water
is turned on in Phillips field. 1t
takes about half an hour to turn it
on when it is necessary. There is
another place to turn on water near
Miss. Clapp's, but the apparatus is
generally turned the wrong way by
parties not familiar with it.
It would not be hard natter to
rig an apparatus by which the
water could be turned on by cleo
tricity. Any bright mechanic
could make it, and then the thing
could be done from the engine
houses with a pressure of the
thumb. Printed instructions show
ing how the water can be turned on
near Miss Clapp's, would have
proven very useful on Sunday, but
they were not there.
The propriety Of having the var
ious volunteer organizations under
one chief is apparent to all. The
department is composed of good,
active, determined men, who are full
of grit and not afraid to work, but
they labor under the disadvantage
of having no one to direct them.
There is a fierce rivalry between
the Warrens and Currys, but wyh
two fire companies cannot harmon
ize, is a mystery to US,
1t is possible, if the City Trus-
tess were to select a Chief, belong
ing to neither Of the two COM
panies, and consult the frcmcn
themselves on the selection, that
the matter could be arranged.
1t would be a good plan to pay
the Chief small salary to look af
ter hydrants, etc and so much for
ecah fire attended. 1t would also
be we'll to pay each member so
much for attendance at a fire. No
one can be expected to do good
work for nothing. Hardly a fire
takes place that the volunteer frs
men do not get injured, ruin their
clothes, and many Of them who are
mechanics lose a days work, if up
all night at fires. A fire tax should
be LEVIED upon every property
holder within the city limits, and
this matter should be considered
by the Trustees.

A SORRY SCRUB

It now transpires that there is
much significance in Conkling's re-
mark that he was not requested to
take any part in the CAMPAIGN. 1t
appears that be said that whenever
he was requested 80 take part in
1ae campaign he should do so. !

Mining is the principal industry of this section, and like every other line of business should be ex- tensively advertised to meet with success. Especially should those who have paying claims keep them before the financial world, if they desire to make sales. The CLARION would take pleasure in placing before the mining capital ists, both at home and abroad, the merits of individual mines that are on the market, but it cannot afford to send reporter out on such a mission without compensa- tion. So we say to those who desire their mining property de- scribed that Mir. P. J. Clark IS authorized to act for the CLARION.

Last evening a meeting was held at the school house for the purpose of organizing a militia company. There were twenty seven names enrolled as members, and after discussing the various points in regard to the organiza- tion, the meeting adjourned to meet at the same place on Sunday next, the 5th of April, at 2 o'clock. The minimum number required to form a company is thirty, and it is hoped that the membership will amount to at least fifty. All those gentlemen, young or old, inter ested in the matter, are invited to be present at that time.

Two petitions have been in cir culation the past week requesting the appointment of either MT. John Torrance or the Hon. J. NJ. McCormac to the office of post master at this place. Mir. McCor- macs petition alleges the ineligi- bility of the Hon. James Sias on account of being at present a mem Der of the Territorial Legislature. We have not seen Mir Torrance's petition. However, Mir. Sias is not objected to on any other ground than is stated, and if it were not for his alleged disqualification no cause could be assigned for his removal.

The ball given in Duncan last Thursday evening for the benefit of the local school fund passed off very enjoyably, although owing to the high stage of the Gila river, making it difficult to ford, the at tendance was not as large as was anticipated. The supper, gotten up by the ladies of Duncan, and served at the residence of Mrs. W. J. Parks, was the leading feature, the tables fairly grooming under their loads of edibles, while the music and management were excellent.

Death of "C,,lOride.-

We mentioned in our last issue that George W. Foster, better known in this community as "Chlo ride" had attempted suicide by cutting his throat with razor. Hopes were entertained at that time that he would live, but on Fri day last he paid the penalty of his rash act, and was numbered with the dead.
 Coroner E. J. Firing, NJ. D., hay ing been the surgeon in attend ance, deemed it unnecessary to hold an inquisition, but under his directions "Chloride's" remains rest in the city of the dead on Chase creek, and the last rites were read from the book of com mon prayer.
 He regretted what in an hour of despondency he had done, and ex- pressed an earnest desire to live. His friends in the East were in- formed of hls demise, and in re- sponse to telegram from Mir. Hovey his mother requested what disposition should be made of his remains. There were many gen erous traits in his character. He loved his friends and had no enc mics to hate, and if every one for whom he did some kind act should bring a blossom to his grave, he would sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers.

 Day after tomorrow is called, in the church calendar, Good Friday, recognized by the Roman Catho- lie and Protestant Episcopal churches in memory of the cruel fixion of Christ, the Savior of the world. By the teachings of those churches we are taught to fast on Good Friday, but since Easter is near at hand, and the Lenten sea- son about to terminate, we are thankful for what has been and look hopefully to the future with full faith and confidence.

fsIulpE Notes.

SsfalnE Notes.
 The group of mines (El Paso,
 Columbus, King, Tip Top, Lime
 stone and the Alaska,) owned by
 Jim Guthrie, Morris Deeneen and
 John McDermot are located half a
 mile east of Chase creek, about
 two miles above the Metcalf de-
 posit. They have been selling
 their ores to the Arizona Copper
 Company for some time, and the
 ore has been rated as very high
 grade, in view of the fact that the
 property has only been passing
 through the first stages of devel- opment. On the Alaska the prin- cipal development has been done. A shaft 45 in depth has been sunk, intersected by a 50-foot tunnel.
 Two cross-cuts have been drove, one 30 and the other 20 feet. The opening of this mine shows sev- eral lateral feeders to the lode, which displays mineral both as a deposit and the regular Assure vein. The Assure vein, with its gangue, is about 2 feet wide, with 3 foot of solid glance containing red oxide and other varieties of ore filling the space, making fully an average of 40 per cent. copper ore, carrying both gold and silver in quantities. The en- closing rocks of this Sein are lime and feldspathic rocks, with every indication of great strength and perpetuity to the vein, showing by it's mode of deposition and form that 1t IS one of the few lodes and deposits resulting from sublima- tion, leaving the clear inference that it will develop into a great nine.
 This same contact is traceable oy its outcroppings into the Tip Top and Fl Paso hills-south- where the same gentlemen have our more claims of equal, if not greater promise, the surface of he ground being literally covered with float ores for acres. A gentle nan from Denver, Col, visiting | his section tin the interest of cap talists), in a conversation with a representative of the CLARION, said hat he "never saw anything either n North or South America indi- atlng SO much merit as a copper mining country as this," which he 'ronounced "the very centre of he great copper zone of Clifton"
 Louis Jentzen has a contract Elth the Arizona Copper Company o take ore from the Oriental mine, n the Metcalf group. He has truck a body of copper ore which s a wonder, and from the hereto ore undeveloped mountain side he increase of copper adds to the Fealth of this far-famed and won lrously rich mining district.
 J. H. Vaughn has contracts for he delivery of ore from the ia nous Queen mine, the White Hawk and the King-all of which re the property of the Arizona Copper Company. In addition he las a contract to furnish certain imbers for the company, and a orce of men, under his direction, re placing on the Coronado Rail oad poles, from places which eem almost inaccessible except to hose who believe that nothing IS in this rugged land, 7here mountain heights are scaled nd the laws of nature seemingly.
