NEVADA TRANSCRIPT NOVEMBER 10, 1863 153
COUNTY TREASURER’S OFFICE.—The books of the County Treasurer will be kept for the
present at the TRANSCRIPT office. All persons having cash orders on the Treasurer will be paid at the
counter of Mackie & Philip’s banking house until further notice.
THEFT.—[George M.] Hughes saved a large number of his tools from the Sash Factory, which were
stolen by some contemptible thief on Sunday night.
John Hersinger has opened a Boot and Shoe store adjoining the St. Louis hotel building on
Commercial street.
NEW BUILDINGS.—Julius Dreyfuss; on Pine street, bakery; Sam. Lewis, cigar store, Broad street;
James Colley, meat market, Broad street; Chas. Kent, meat market, on Main street.
STAGE OFFICE.—The California Stage Co’s office has been removed to the building next door to
the South Yuba Canal Co’s office. The stages will start from there at the usual hours until further notice.
That fine building occupied by A. Block & Co., in front of our office, is a mass of ruins. It is a sad
sight to look out upon the mass of brick and mortar. Firemen were pulling down the remaining walls
yesterday, for fear of their falling on citizens.
A WIFE WORTH HAVING.—Probably the subject of this notice will not like the publicity which
we are going to give to her labors at the fire, but for the benefit of her sex we think it justly due that the
exertions of Mrs. John A. Lancaster should be again specially noticed. Mrs. Lancaster has always been
at our great fires possessed of more presence of mind than two-thirds of the opposite sex, and has really
done more in the way of saving property. The bridges at the foot of the streets were once saved by her
rallying a band to put them out when on fire. On Sunday, when Mrs. Lancaster’s husband was fighting
the fire with his company, and when his own property was about to be destroyed, she came to the rescue
and was worth a dozen men in directing how the work of saving property should be done, and what
should be taken first. We are told all the harness of the establishment would have been burned but for her
peremptory orders for the teams to stop and take it on.
MUST BE DONE.—It is the old style to “lock the stable door after the horse is stolen, but one of
our county officers is going to order hose for the protection of the county property, and the Supervisors
will do well to pay for it and hereafter keep the requisite quantity on hand. A few feet of hose would have
saved the county on Sunday ten thousand dollars.
The Post Office for the present is located at the corner of Main and Commercial streets.
STRANGERS.—The burnt district was yesterday traversed by hundreds of strangers who came to
view the ruins.
MORE BRICK BUILDINGS.—It is suggested by some of our prominent citizens that the Board
of City Trustees immediately pass an ordinance prohibiting the erection of any but brick buildings in
the future. ... No matter if a brick building is not fire proof. Its walls are a protection to firemen in
the incipiency of fires, and, in fact, all through, and many a conflagration can be stopped among brick
buildings that cannot be managed among wooden ones.
