ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT FIRE.
Halt Of Virginia City an Ash Heap
80 Years Ago.


80 Years Ago.
Thirty years ago yesterday Virginia
City was visited by a disastrous fire
that in a few hours burned over al
area half a mile square leaving the
main business and residence parts
Of the town smouldering ash heap
involving loss of ten millions AMI
rendering thousands of families home
died together in school buildings ami
every available place affording shelter
where they were fed through the
efforts of hastily organized relief com
mittees, trainloads of food and cloth
ing arriving daily by rail from San
Francisco and other California and
Nevada towns.
The disastrous confagration is SUD-
posed to have originated through the
turning over of a kerosene lamp On
South A street in the rear of Mooney s
stables, in a shack occupied by
woman known as Cray Kate" The
first alarm was sounded just before
Is o'clock in the morning during u
bowling gale blowing from the south

had spread over an area extending
from the Mayer building on the south
to the First Ward school on the north

path from Howard street on the west
to the C. & c. shaft to the eastward

by blowing up buildings in the vicinity
A turtle effort was made to save the
Con- Virginia hosting works and
sixty-stamp mill by blowing up the
opera house on the southeast corner
of D and Union streets and adjoinin:
wooden structures.
The timbering of the Con- Virgini:
shaft was saved from the flames
through bulkheading it with cages an
sheets of boiler plate iron, covere;
several feet in depth with earth
The Ophir works were also destroye
and with the Con. Virginia were re

Next morning he woke his friend
unpabout seven o'clock.
He said he had no sleep all night
and wanted to walk the streets to
get rest.

friend innocently.

"How does he manage to keep hi

that banjo?"
well there are lots of people VIII:

that people engage rooms here jus
to hear him on the instrument"
