of Gold Hill, lost their lives Tuesday
in a fire that broke out on the 400
foot level of the Belcher workings of

although all approaches have been
bulkheaded and caved in by dynamite.
The miners were trapped by smoke.
flame and gas, with no possibility of
escape, although a helmet brigade
made heroic efforts to reach and save
the imprisoned four.

another disastrous fire in 1911, on

CEASES PUBLICATION
Virginia Enterprise, Part of the
Glories of Comstock, Will
Issue No More

Old Comstockers in many parts of
the country and the younger genera
ton who have learned of the glories
of Virginia City and Gold Hill from
the lips of men who we're friends of
Mark Twain, Dan de Quill, Harry
Mighels and many other noted news
paper men and authors. felt a thrill
of sorrow when the Virginia Enter
prise announced that on June / it
would be merged with the Virginia
Chronicle and cease publication.
Years ago the Enterprise was one
of the most noted newspapers in the
West. 1t was the first paper to be
published in Nevada, having made
its appearance in Genoa in 1858.
Alfred James and w. l.. Jurnegan
were the owners.
In 1859 its habitat was moved to
Carson City and in the following
year the prosperity of the Virginia
city drew it to the Comstock. There
it f1ourished until 1893, when il sus-
pended. A short time later it was
revived and continued publication
until Thursday.
The Enterprise was made famous
by such writer's as Mark Twain, Dan
de Quill. c. G.. Goodwin, Joe Good
man and a host of other brilliant
writers who either made names for
themselves later in other fields or
laid down the pencil at the call of
death in Nevada.

Brandeis as a publicist and propogah-

Newlands. Il do not regard him as
a man of judicial temperament and
for that reason | have voted against

Throughout the fight President
Wilson stood firmly behind his nomi-
nee, never wavering when it seemed
certain that an unfavorable report
would be returned by the Senate
judiciary committee.
Before the committee voted he
wrote a letter to Chairman Culber-
son, strongly urging prompt and
favorable action.
