Dea1woOd's Calamity.

The city Of Deadwood, which in the
past, has been the scene Of repeated
calamities, by fire and food, Of such
serious and disheartenlng character as
10 require the most persistent energy
and indomitable pluck on the part Of
her citizens to withstand, has again
been visited by one of the most destrue-
tive fires that has ever occurred in the
history Of the Hills Two entire blocks.
embra ing thirty.seven buildings, were
utterly destroyed, involving loss,
which is variously estimated at from
| 100000 TO 100000, with but $32, 600 in
surance. This loss is all the more de-
p!orable by reason Of the great number
sharing in it, many Of whom haye lost
their all, and are as consequence left
in a destitute condition.
The fire originated in lodging house
on the west side Of main street. between
Gold and Wall streets, and is said to be
due to the presence, in one ofthe rooms,
of drunken lodger and kerosene
lamp, a combination Of such dangerous
character as to warrant the closest sur
veillance, which in this instance was
omitted with fatal results. The fire
started about six o'clock on Monday
morning, and ragged with relentless fury
until noon, notwithstanding the com
bined efforts of the Deadwood and Lead
City fire departments were directed
against it. The fire was chiefly confin-
ed to the west side of Main street. but
few buildings being destroyed on the
east side, although quite number were
more or less damaged. That the district
burned will be rebuilt, goes without
saying the exceptional, and we'll known
pluck of the Deadwood people affords
ample warrant for the statement that at
no distant period in the future the ashes
that now mark the scene Of the late
conflagration will give place to business
structures far superior in character to
those which disappeared in the smoke
Of the late lamentable disaster.

Some people who think they can see
further ahead than others, say that all
the mines on the belt are to be consoli-
dated into one company, and that that
is the mission of Supt. Grier and Judge
Moody to the companies in New York,
at the present time. 1t is quite possible
to make one company OF the Homestake,
Highland, Terra and the Caledonia, and
perhaps the railroad and water ditch.
This would make strong company and
do away with complications aud ex-
penses which arise from so many defer
ent ownerships Tribune.

A Card.

The Whitewood Plaindealer of the
End inst. contains the following card
which explains the matter of the err
roneous statement made by that paper
in its issue of Feb. 2nd rejecting upon
the moral character of X. s. Burke,
deceased, which statement was copied
and coLtradicted by the CuRoSIcLE in a
former issue:
In publishing in our issue of Feb. 2
what We supposed TO be reliable iufor-
nation, we did the friends and relatives
OF the late X. 5. Burke an injustice.
The following from w. H. Williams, an
old resident OF Crook City explains the
matter:
your remarks relating to X. S. Burke
some time back, were ungenerous. un-
called for, and besides erroneous. Mr..
Burke was one of the first settlers in
the Black Hills. and well known as an
educated gentleman, q fine civil en-.
gineer, courteous aud able writer. His
connections in the east were first class
In every way, and your assertions were
not correct, as Mr.. Burke died from
disease and did not meet with a felons
death. Your informer, whoever he may
be, should be more careful at least, IL he
has i'll feelings towards the man, Il is a
poor way TO get satisfaction, and not
only poor but cowardly.
Yours respectfully,
WI WutJANs."
