VIRGINIA CITY, Montana, January 10
Correspondence of the Miner. There was
big fire here on Monday night. It started
in Merkle's jewelry store. He had replen-
ished his stove with plenty OF fuel and
locked the store up and went out. A short
while after flames broke out aud the build
ing was doomed to destruction. The fire
was very fierce, and the flames famed by
high wind communicated with the Olive
Branch saloon on the east, which was un-
occupied at the time. This old landmak
that was formerly kept h George w.
Todd, one OF the pioneers OF early days,
burned down in spite of the utmost efforts
to save it, On the west the fire communi-
Gated with George Gohn's butcher shop,
which was one Of the best fitted Of its kind
in Mon tana. 1t was a total loss. The fire
next licked up the paint and paper-hangins
shop OF Jacob Dick, which was double
store. There was no insurance on any of
the property, and the losses are estimated
about as follows: On the Olive Branch,
$500; or Murkle's store, $500, and on
stock, 50, 500; on COINS store, $1,000;
on Dicks store, $1,000. The latter saved
most of his stock though it was, of course.
much ruined in removing. Every exertion
was made to stay the progress cf the
flames, but Intellectually. The fire makes
a serious blot in the best business part Of
the city.

county, and repeated the same in the plead
ings in this case last July. The jury were
