Many were saddened when the news was
received in Appleton May 18th of the death
of William, the only son of Danforth and
Adella Martin. He was taken i'll with pneu-
monia nearly eight weeks ago, from which
he seemed to rally, then contracted cold
that ended in his death. The deceased was
born in Appleton, Sept. Is, 1878, and had al
ways remained with his parents, except for
few months at time, until he was about
twenty years of age, when he left home for
Massachusetts and secured employment in
an insane asylum. He had been employed
in the Danvers asylum for two years. His
father visited him during his last illness,
and after his removal to private hospital
in Peabody, Mass, his mother and sister
were privileged to visit him. The remains
were brought home Wednesday, Short SER
vices were held Thursday at the home of
his parents at 1 OF clock, followed by services
at Union church at 2 clock, Rev. E. A. Dins-
low of Montville officiating. A father, moth
er and one sister, Ella, are left to mourn the

and brother. A large circle of friends ex-

BAD FIRE.
Virginia City Suffers Severe Loss ~
Her Business Blocks.

VIRGINIA CITY. June 23-This ev-
enirg one Of the worst fires that has
visited the Comstock in many years
swept over the town.
The fire started at the New York
Restaurant and carried out nearly the
entire block before it was under con-
troll. The fire ragged furiously and all
the mains that could be used were
pressed into service. For a time it
was feared that the flames would
sweep up the street and make wreck
Of the town.
Among the business houses destroy
ed, were two restaurants, Union Meat
Market a gun shop, one barber shop
and a saloon. Several buildings which
we're not occupied went before the
fury Of the flames. It required two
hours hard fighting to prevent the
flames from carrying out the other
side of the street and the only thing
that stopped the progress Of the flames
was a brick building.
The loss comes particularly har-
on Virginia City as there is no likli
hood of rebuilding. The loss vii
reach into the thousands Of dollars a;
the portion that was destroyed wa
we'll rented and in tie business seq

teraent Of the Lonsfeilow Mill and
Mining Company came in from the
mine, which is situated at Red Can
Won. He had some ore with him that
is simply studded with gold, in tact
the richest specimens exhibited IL
this city in many days. The ore comes
from an eighteen inch vein, that has
recently been uncovered and while it
is not all specimen ore, yet the aver
age across goes many thousands ct
dollars a ton.
Considerable rich ore has been tax
en- from this district in times past
and the old payday mine took out
a hundred thausand worth of gold in
a few days The new find is in the
same district and promises big thing
for those interested. Mr.. Everett
states that close to a ton OF the hlSf
grade ore has been taken out since
the discovery a few days ago ans
the vein has not yet been prospecte'i
Just how much of it there is has no
vet been determined, but there is en-
ough in sight to declare dividen
