Fire! Fire!! are words that should burn
themselves into the minds of the citizens
of Salisbury, till ftoine protection against
its ravages is assured.
In one room of the Court-honse, scat
tered around in heaps may be found old
recordsof the courts, marriage bonds, etc.,
many of them valued for reference. The
County Commissioners- should provide for
their preservation in a form that would
make them more accessible when it is
necessary to refer to them, as is often the
case.
The force employed at the "railroad
shops at Richmond, and at Company

would occur here: but it has been ascer

Western. So no reduction will be made
in the force here.

last few months. Mr. Alexander Peeler
has lost two charming little girls, Carrie
and Maggie, by this disease. The former
died last October, the latter on the 20th
of this month. They had the very best
medical attention, but to no avail.
These facts are fiirnised by an intimate
friend of the family, who sends us a long
communication, too long for the crowded
columns of the Watchman. He closes
his letter bv saying although scarlet fever

and if necessary hold up on repairing old
ones, till facilities for fighting fire are in
augurated and perfected.
The Choral Union met at the residence

Defense Against Fire.
The recent fires in and around Salis
bury have put the people to talking
means for defense; against the fury of the
flames. The loss iof the freight depot and
woolen mills might both have been
prevented, had there been water near and
some one willing to apply it. The Hook
and Ladder Company are not organized
for that purpose. They tear down fences,
sheds, burning walls, &c., &c.f but are
totally unprepared to handle water. Some
people pitch into them, others into the
board of commissioners for not providing
something for the protection of the town,
and so on. Now are the people of this
town ready to back the commissioners in
the purchase of any means of protection
against fire, whatsoever? If one, two or
five thousand dollars were spent would
there not go up a wail worse than weep
ing and gnashing of teeth against the
extravagance of the mayor and commis
sioners; and would they not be defeated
by the largest majority ever rolled up
in anv municipal election? This abuse of
the commissioners is not what is needed.
Anybody can dk that gab is cheap it
is reasonable, bractical ideas, prompted
by a desire to aid and a determination to
do it with cash.; Don't abuse anyone but
go honestly to work and see if the toWn
cannot be relieved in this instance. The
heaviest property owners are most inter
ested.
A SUGGESTION.
A gentleman who happened to be in
the Watchman office a few days since
suggested a stand pipe, such as is
used in Charlotte, Charleston, and Other
cities. A stand pipe of ten or fifteen
feet diameter and say 75 feet high, placed
on the centne of the public square, would
supply all the water needed, and furnish
it in the most available shape by means
of distribution through lines of pipe.
There would be no need of an engine, for
the water would have sufficient bead
from the elevation to force it over any
building in the town. This scheme stiikes
the writer as the most feasible and cheap
est yet advanced for the protection
of the town. Are you willing to help
build such a protection? Then how much
so.
The Trippler Amalgamator, advertised
in this aper commends itself. It is a
simple inexpensive device, and has been
doing effectual work at the Herring mine

injustice to their best interests, investi

in Union county, is in operation, and is

hastened to the scene. The fire was un
der good Headway when discovered, and
the telegraph operator, assisted by prob
ably one other person, succeeded in get
ting the operator's table out and one or
two of the djppot agent's books. The rest
of the records, the contents of the depot,
and three loaded freight cars, standing
just under the eaves of the burning house,
were a complete and total loss. The
fire is supposed to have caught in the
garret over the agent's office, which was
used for packing old bills and receipts
away in, and had a large number of these
old papers in it at the time. How the
fire reached them is not known. Some
suggest that a signal light hanging at the
corner of the depot, and near the roof
exploded and that the papers were thus
ignited; others think this not probable.
As yet no positive evidence' of how it
caught has been found. The depot was
not crowded, but had something like an
average lot of feight in it. The loss will
probably reach twelve, or fifteen thousand
dollars, including the three loaded freight
cars. The insurance will cover this
amount. Something like $20,000 was
carried on the depot and freight.
THE WTOOLEN MILLS GONE.
The flames from the burning depot and
freight cars swept across the track and
lit the front gable of the woolen mills
building. It burned slowly, but as there
was no means at hand to save it, it was
soon ablaze on the entire front and roof.
The crowd present did all they could to
remove the machinery. All the lighter
articles were removed, but the heavy,
solid machinery was lost. It amounts to
a total loss to the company, which is
composed of Messrs. J. D. McNeely, T.
P. Johnson, C. A. Rice and Benj. Frank
land. The material" savd was only parts
of machinery and odds and ends about
the place. The total loss is estimated at
8 or 10 thousand dollars. The assumed
loss amounts to much more. The insur
ance amounts to only $4,000.
This is a great loss to the business of
the town, as the mills had constantly em

Death of Mrs. Mary F. Trantham.
The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Trantham spread over the town on last
Friday eviening. She died at her mother's
home about two oclock on that day. She
was the Only daughter of the lately la
en ted" Archibald Henderson, and sister
of Hon. John S. Henderson, M. C. from
this district. She was married to Dr.
H. T. Trantham only a few years ago, but
soou became an invalid from the lingering
effects of sickness contracted during the
winter prior to that time. And though
an invalid her bright, genial nature often
enabled her to rise above the ills of the
flesh and enjoy the beauties of nature and
the loving friends who so kindly and
constantly lingered by her. She was ex
ceptionally brilliant and vivacious in
conversation, and was a general favorite
in social circles here and elsewhere.

mine.

work in each during the year.
GOLD HILL MINES.
Work is being conducted in the 740
foot level of the Randolph shaft. They
have struck a "shattered" ore body of
ht to ten feet wide at this depth, and
are developing that level. Some thirty
hands are employed. Larger operations
will be begun as soon as winter breaks.

of 65 feet. The ore is a hard slate and of
very good grade.

ses This is a new mine and the outlook
is favorable. It is worked by northern
men, and is just over the Randolph bor
der, in Moore county.
Operations in mining of all kinds were
very generally blocked during the cold
wave which recently visited the South.
All placer work ceased, and there has
been but little weather favorable for
such work since.
Annual Assay Commission.
Mr. Thomas K. Bruner, editor of the
mining department of the Watchman
has been appointed by President Cleve
land as one of the board known as the
Annual Assay Commission, to examine
and test the fineness and weight cf the
coins reserved and torwarded tor this
purpose by the several coinage mints of
the United States.
The Commission will meet at the mint
at Philadelphia on the tenth of February.

Editor Watchman: Young America in

fast among us. On last Friday night
there assembled at Mr. Dan'l Shank's a
gay crowd of young folks, who danced
the old day out and the new one in. The
following ladies and gentlemen partici
pated: Misses Mittie, Sallie, Nannie, and

Graham, and L. C. Rice. Mr. T. C. Wat
son and lady were also present. Mrs.
Shank, fully sympathizing with the mer
ry dancers, did all she could to add to
the pleasure of the occasion. The really
excellent music was made bv Mr. A. A.

TRIPLER
THE
AMALGAMATOR I
PATENTED.
This ma: bine is a combination of silver plates so as to represent a large amalga
mating surtace, working with rapidity and efficacy, which has not hitherto been accom
plished. The drawing above represents the machine in working position. It consists
of four corrugated plates fitted together, allowing a space between of i inch. Two
plates are perpendicular, connecting with two horizontally inclined. The pulp passes
from the battery and falls perpendicularly tbrSugh the plates, which gives it a zigzag
motion, causing the free gold to impinge on each side, when it passes through the
horozontaUy inclined plates, which act as riffles, catching any escaped gold both on top
and bottom. The plates discharge in a circular pan at the end which is given a rotary
motion, thus concentrating the heavier portion of the tailings for subsequent treatment
if necessary. At the top of the machine is a mercury cup which feeds automatically
any required mercury to keep the plates in active jforce.
This machine is especially adapted for placer mines. It can le worked with or
without water; it requires no mill for pulverization, it only being necessar) to sift the
sand, which can be done at a triffing cost, so that low gRide ore can be worked profita
bly. This machine has been practically tested and is now on" the Herring mine.
Randolph county, where it met with such success as to warrant thefbelief that it will
be of geeat value to the mining interest of Utis State.
This machine lias an electrical attach in entrJyT which the mercury, should it sick
ened by the various causes to which it is liable, can be instantly resmrpd to activity.
Inspection is invited. Estimates given for the en-ctwui ot tins machine en ptacei
