The Volunteer Fire Department of
Goldfield Gets Down to Business.
There was a small attendance at the
iceting called to consider the matter of
lire protection in Elliot’s hall Monday
i veiling. Presumably the hour was too
early for some and too late for others.
('. M. Smith, president of the volun
teer tire department, was in the chair.
.1. U. 1 bitfield, chairman of the com
mittee appointed to solicit funds where
with to purchase the necessary tire
fighting apparatus, reported that $4d0
had been subscribed, lie thought that
the amount should have been $7.10 in
order to have more paraphernalia,
titer some discussion the chairman
appointed Messrs. l'Hcr, Petcli, .Mur
hIiv, Barm'S ami Elliott a committee to
collect tlm money subscribed, and more,
if jh ssible, and at once have tire pluys
put in and purchase some hose. The
committee was j_dven ]>o\ver to act and
act at once.
The law permits county commis
sioners to contribute to the funds of any
community desiring to organize and
purchase tire-tiyhtiny apparatus, and
Judye Collins ventured the opinion that
if the Esmeralda commissioners were
properly approached some assistance
would no douht he secured.
A letter was read from .1. .1. McKen
zie, chief of the Tonopah lire depart
ment, conyratulatiny the (toldfield vol
unteers on the election of Claude Inman
for their chief. Then a sine die ad
journment was taken.
On Wednesday the committee to
which was intrusted the power to pur
chase hose, etc., ordered from San Fran
cisco, to he forwarded hy express, 300
feet of 2-inch hose, three nozzles and
cix wrenches, and from Tonopah, three
fire plujrs or hydrants.
Rushing WorK on ClarK Railroad.
Col. H. B. Maxson. who is state ayent
of the Sail Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Like ma I, has ivtn npd from Salt Lake
City,where he has been enyayed on work
connected with the mad and make- a
very interesting report, says the St de
Journal. On tiie 13th of this month
President Boss Clark opened the hids,
which were all in by tlie I Ith of July,
and awarded the work to the Utah Con
struction company. The distance from
the two ends of the track at present is
only 131 miles and the work is bemy
completed rapidly. When ttie Chirk
road is finished it will mean yreat thinys
fo the State of Nevada, and especially
that portion thronyh which it runs. The
district throuyh which the mad will yo
i, very rich in mineral laud aud only
needs a railroad to develop its resources,
l’iie people of that pi rtion of the state
ealize that fact and aiedoiny ever y tLiny
in their power to further the work of the
new line.
Ogden People StriKe It Rich.
W. J. Dallimore, of Ogden, who was
in the city last week, is exulting over the
fact that he made a "ten strike" when he
got in on a mining proposition in the new
inning camp of Goldfield. Nev., says the
Silt Lake Mining iieview. Mr. Dalii
more is a stockholder in the Ogdeu-Gold
rield Mining company which has a gUii
foot lease on the a urn ho lode. The com
pany has already shipped two carloads of
ore that were disposed of at a very hand
some figure, and more ore, of even higher
grade, will soon he on the market. As a
matter of fact, the company is in "clo
ver,” and still better things are look< d
for.”

Vcrmilyea Has An Accident.
I,ast Friday afternoon about 4 o’clock,
Lawyer Vermilvea, while engaged in
panning some ore on his Jumix* lease,
met with a distressing as well as serious
accident. He had occasion to use dome
ammonia which was in a pint bot
tle. The bottle had been exposed to
I the rays of the sun for some time, and
when Mr. Vermilvea uncorked it the
1 fluid flew into his face and eyes, blind
j ing him and causing him intense pain.
A messenger was at once sent for Dr.
Howland, who hastened to the side of
the injured man and applied the needed
remedies. Saturday morning Mr. Ver
milyea left for his home at Bishop, Cal.,
; to remain until wholly recovered. Dr.
Howland received a message from Mr.
Vermilvea on Tuesday, in which he
stated that he was getting along nicely,
and that while his eyes pained him
somewhat, lie was able to rest them,
and that he exjiectcd to return to Cold
field early next week. Mr. Vermilyea’s
friends certainly hoiie that no ja'rma
nent ill effects w ill result from the ac
cident.
