sounded for a blaze in tbe opera house.
The fire started under a store occupied
by Ismert and Webbe, and spread with
great rapidity. Soon the whole build
ing was enveloped in flames, and tbo
adjoining buildings oommenced to burn
and, despite the work of the firemen, it
looked as though the whole ceuter por
tion of the town wonld be destroyed.
The fire department of Nevada City
came over to assist the local depart
ment, but a scarcity of water hindered
them so they were of little service un
til an extra head of water was turned
in to the supply ditch. Tbe two de
partments did great work aud oonfined
tbe fire to the block bounded by Neal,
Church, Auburn aud Bank streets.
The loss will exceed f 100,000, it is
thought Insurance in moat cases is
small, aud the blow is a hard oue to
the city.
