Owing to the buildings being mostly

thing except the fire-proof warehouse
of Mr.. Fetterman in the rear OF the
store. which escaped, with It's contents.
Mr.. Fetterman has the largest and finest
stock Of hard ware ana mining supplies
in southern Nevada, and until it IS re-
placed will work positive loss ID the
community. The stock was worth be-
tween Sl1 900 and Sl2, 600 Very little

Insurance on it. Ed Hing was also
slightly insured.
Had the wind been blowing, the whole
town would have been swept away. 4
large number of the people were at
tending a performance given by the
colored MINISTRIES when the first alarm
was given and quite a stampede ensued
from the hall, but beyond a few ladies
fainting no one was hurt.
Surrounding buildings were badly
scorched, but outside OF those named
the damage was confined to those which
were burned With his characteristic
energy, Mr.. Fetterman will resume bust

The "FurrinerS."

The Carson News relates the follow
ing story: Last week twenty-three
Japs came up from San Francisco TO
work on the railroad at Browns Sta
ton, Nevada. An American who saw
them get off the train commenced to
kick about the Importation of foreign
labor. An Irishman who works at the
gravel pit, just below town, turned to
him and said:
'Yez is an American, but who doog
the canals Nv the coontry but furriners?
Who built the railroads NV the coontry
but furriners? Who wurruk the mines
NV the coontry but furriners? Who

cred the coontry but furriners.

The Senate Committee on Appropri-
atoms last Wednesday reported an
amendment to the Sundry Appropria-
ton bill, empowering the Secretary OF
War; Secretary of the Treasury and
the Attorney General TO settle the ac-
counts of the United States with New
ada, California and Oregon, because OF
advances made ii the War of the Re-
bellion. These accounts are honest
debts of the United States and should
have been paid years ago. They have
been allowed several times in the Sem
ate, but have always met defeat in the
House heretofore, and there is little
reason to hope that they will meet a
better fate this time. The money due
this State, with interest amounts to
more than 5000, 900, and would be a
great boon at the present time.
