Iti ibo first pliitre the reiHUt itself is
singularly riesr aud satisfactory. It lets
the pn'uiic see exactly what bus U-eu
I.ne ut the tirisou, so far as pure banes,
disbursements, tun-luves, sttlari:, tic.
ere c-juerriied. We like the idea of
tueavr Httiet. itemize! quarterly Keports.
Tb-y let the public lo.k in through the
gates aiul barn, sutl tee for themselves
where the prisou fund isexjwnded. We
know of the ressoris for employing loc
tors there; know how ninch is iloiup
toward iinproviuii the Kroamls; know
bow much it costs, per mau, to guard
and feed the convicts; ad know ho
nearly the prison cornea to being a self-
istiuuio institution. It is evident
fram this report that when Mr. Hyman
wis selected as the Warden of the
Prison the riht man was chosen. He
4 a bnciceae man anybody can see
that. He rejoices in srsteniizatioa and
the triumphs of a trial balance. These
ire the qualities which have long lern
wanted there. Look at the cost, as at
present Enred down, of feeding the
prison .fficer3, gnnrds and convicts
cents, apiece, per day for 00 days!
It seeuis iucredible, almost; but there
the figures ere, ami Egr;r. s iu ihe Luiul
of Tree. Hyuian and Ze Eltlri.lge don't
lie. Tbis is the rint sort of rt treiich
niui. If ever we Eejmbliruiis should
emit- lo yet possession oi tiiut Friou
we must look lo it that we make as j;oou
showing as the D movrata are making
through this Warden of theirs. Our
ran set . front thrse bgures how reaJw
ihe Prisou might be mode self sustain
ing. Some shops nud some readily
marketable munufuctures are all that's
needed. We will 'venture the guess that
a good way inside of six months Hyman
will show that the Prison can come still
rearer being a ilf-snpporting institu
tion. Certaiuly he has shown a erj
remarkable autitude for the peculiar
boxiuras of the Wardenship; and what
be has done warrants us iu entertaining
a high opinion of what be can do.
THE HAMILTON I IRE.
A correspondent of the Eureka Sentinel,
styled by that paper " an old and valued
friend," has written a letter that is pnl
lished iu the Sentinel for July 9 which
c uitains, besidta a corrected list of the
los-es sustained at the Hamilton fire.

confidence in the peinjaiieucy of onr
camp, and predict ere snow ms tne
wiio.e Lnrui usuii win oe cinrno u

trv.ij;aut estimates of the losses, mid
visa to coirect them. Dnnug an ex-
Citincit like the one jnst passed, pood
judts me li-ble lo exaiiyerntf. Kow
that we have cooltd off 1 hand you a
statement which is tearly correct. If
t'U rsfc an.-ue the rooni. would like yon
to publikh it. The Grand Jury has
found a bill against Alex. Cohen for
firing the town. Circnmstauces point
Tery strong.
The estimate of losses (which we
hardly think of sufficient interest to the
general reader to reproduce here) Is very
much more reasonable and credible than
the original list as telegraphed with the
first newa of the coi flagn.tioc ; and we
notice that the loss of Ada Hordannt set
down !n the first dispatched at $75,000,
is here estimated at $5,000; and that
the Bum total is reduced from $00,000
to $300,000. We suspect that these
latter figures are mnch more nearly
correct than the same multiplied by two
as in Ihe first exhibit. Albert Mau t
Co., grocers, seem to be the heaviest
losers. They are set down aa having
been damaged to the extent of $50,000
and insure ! for $21,000. 3. Cohen k
Bro., clothiers, are next their loss being
stated at $30,000, with aa insurance of
$18,000, Marco Medio loses $16,000
and is insured for S5.0C0. P. A. Wag
ner, hardware, loses $2(1,000; ouu A.
Jackson, hotel, 22,000. Our friend
Cole, who bit ally regrtscuitd White
Pine county iu the lust Assinibly, is re
ported out aud injured to the tune of
51,000.
Hare About the Wreck of tlie Ster-iacr
City of YYagbiuton.
v Yoke. Julv 10. A five eolnmn
stu'eun nt ol a City of Washington pas
senger charges the loss of the steamer to
criminal carilcs.-.in s of the officers and
crew, and that nil just barely escaped be
iu t noiilfcd. An i ci-su captain, a pas
senger, frequently warned the chief offi
cer that he was rnuiiing too far north-
inl. and advised the rnanin ol 1UU
miies funber south, but his advise was
disregarded, though th? second officer
coincidvd iu it. So sight was taken for
neverai days notwithstanding that the
vessel was going through a heavy fog at
the rate of 12 or 13 kuots an hour. Had
h struck at ninht she wonld have gone
down, or had she gone to the right or
left two hundred yards she would have
struck either Graeu Island or ou the
reefs, and a fesrfnl loss of life would
have ensued. Tne saloon passenger
were mostly chattering or playiug canls
whpn at half-Dust 1 ?. M. on Saturday
night the ship went at full speed ou Gull
Kock Shoal. She gave two slight jumps
aud a tremendous tremor ran through her.
No one had lbs least idea where the ship
w:ia bnt after the lapse of hr.lf an hour
ainia tenible confusion the cannon fir-
iutr, the fog horn Mowing ano women
and children shrieking a sailor cried.
I hear a huoian voice! ileatiiiiKe
silence followed, and soon two .-rave
:nen Cornelius Swauburg and Wibinin
Furgusson who had put out from shore
in a small boat, clim.ied up the side of
theshio. The work of disembarking im
mediately commenced under Iht ir guide
with three of the ship's boats, the sec
ond offijer standing at the gangway of
the hvtder with a hatchet in his hand
threatening to cut down any man who
tried to get into the boats lefore the wo
men. Meanwhile the hnmping find
scraping of the stern post and rudder
continued, arousing fears that the ship
would brenk in two. The steerage pas
sengers however, remained remarkably
quiet and no attempt to rush was made.
Some of the quiet women displayed
great presence of mind and heroism,
sitting quietly until called Epon lo
disembark. A youn Irish girl came and
asked the narrator whether she should
ever see Castle Garden at all, and on re
ceiving an affirmative reply, sh-' wrap
ped an Ulster coat round her, gave him
a kiss, and descended into the smali
iatat. Once all on shore, the Germans
and Fins gathered in one gronpe and the
Irish emigrants in another. All the
neighboring barns and outhouses were
soon occupied, the adjoining fences
were stripped of rails, tires built, bis
cuits distributed, coffee served and all
were happy under the sense of the
great danger escaped. The cabin ladies
were received i:i the houses of Mrs.
Harding and Mis. Lewis, who, with
their daughters, cared for them like
ministering angels. Soon many of the
poor emigrants were fast asleep, lying
iibont in bams, on the beach, under
banks and by the rocks. Colonel Par
nell of the United States army was very
prominent in affording assistance to the
latter and conducting them to places ol
shelter. The ship dix-tor was also very
efficient in ere tmg tents, distributing
cordials, etc. The cabin passengers
raised a subscription of $200 for the
heroes, iSwanburg aud Ferguson, aud
more will probably lie forthcoming.
Stores, bloUkets, beef, biscuits, etc.,
were brought ashore all day Sunday aud
Monday from the ship. On Monday
the ship was found to lie in fifteen feet
of water, apparently as solid as the rock
she rested tin. Had she backed ( ff OU
first striking she would have probably
sunk in five minutes. Alter striking
she began to fill, and on Monday had
fifteen lect of water iu her hold. When
the narrator left the neighborhood the
people were snowering every attention
upon the rescued passengers, and th re
were plenty of provisions for all for
days to come. He closes his narrative
by ti imp uriug the navigation of the City
ui Washington to a mau galloping at
breakneck speed through darkness when
ou a turnpike, totally regar.ness ana in
different whether my gates are ahead
or not. Fortunately for us," he says,
"we got throngh one gate, Ihe Little
Hope Kock, but Gall llock Shoal Gate
was uuiortun iteiy closed."
Bill Bktbabqs has been found guilty
of murder iu the second degree in the
District Court for White Pine couuty
We heartily wish that Bill's troubles
had ended differently. We confess lo a
good deal of liking for the vagabond
a liking which dates back to some old
mining doings in the bowels of Durgan'a
Flat.
Tom Scott has gone to Europe on
business connected with the Texas Pa
cific R. R. aud Fremont's troubles
therewith. Thomas is a whale.
The SbsB, it ia averred, baa soured on
his contracts with Baron DeReuter and
will, it is like, repudiate the same alto
gether.
Thx Jltvx'iU want to know what we
mean by speaking of itself as "that
veracious print." We were joking, of
course.
