242 AUGUST 17 & 19, 1866 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
down to the “bed rock,” but with an energy of which Californians only are capable, several commenced
cleaning away the rubbish and ordered lumber for rebuilding, a few hours after the fire had subsided.
The only parties we hear of being in destitute circumstances is Smith and his family, who occupied the
Pavilion. Everything he had was destroyed, and he has a large family upon his hands. The losses are
particularly hard upon the citizens of Red Dog, because they were just beginning to recover from the dull
times, and business of all kinds was just getting to be lively.
HEAVY LOSERS.—Combs & McGoun are among the heaviest losers by the Red Dog fire. They
had but recently fitted up a new place of business, and had on hand a very large stock of goods. The
property was only insured to a small amount and the loss comes heavy upon the firm. They are excellent
gentlemen, and as honest as God ever made. We hope they may be able to come out all right in the end.
REBUILDING.—A number of houses at Red Dog will be immediately rebuilt, and in a few months
all traces of the disastrous fire will be gone. Already arrangements are being made for the erection of a
neat hotel. One of the heaviest losers said yesterday: “In three months Red Dog will be as good a town as
it ever was,” and we believe it.
IMPROVEMENT.—Charley Smith, of the Exchange Hotel, Grass Valley, is adding twenty-two
commodious rooms to his house for the accommodation of the increasing travel. The addition will be in
the shape of an L, two stories high. The entrance to the rooms will be from a veranda, and the apartments
will be large and well ventilated. The Exchange is justly popular, and under Smith will long maintain its
position as a first class hotel.
RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS.—Yesterday Judge Niles and J. C. Garber raised about $400 in an
hour, among the citizens of Nevada, for the relief of the sufferers by the Red Dog fire.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 19, 1866
BORN. At Moore’s Flat, on the 17th inst. to the wife of W. R. Morrow, a daughter.
DIED. In this city, yesterday morning, James Albert, son of J. E. and Eliza Anne Johnston, aged 1
year, 4 months and 6 days.
In this city,, yesterday morning, John C. Findley, aged 61 years. The funeral will take place from
his late residence on Spring street, this afternoon at 2 o’clock. . . . J. C. Findley, who had his
house burned a short time since, died yesterday at 11 o’clock A.M. He had everything destroyed
by fire, and since has had a good deal of trouble. The old man drank hard, and this habit
contributed greatly to cause his death. He leaves a wife and four children.
COUNTY COURT, Saturday, August 18th. John F. Bussenius, a native of Hanover, naturalized.
CHARLEY TIBBETTS, who so often, and so well has provided for the entertainment of our
citizens, will be here again tomorrow evening, with an Orchestra of the best musicians the State affords,
and an Opera Company that has given great satisfaction wherever they have sang [sic] in the State.
They sing in our own language some of the most beautiful pieces ever composed—gems familiar to
the people, as well as elegant choruses. Maritana, composed by W. Vincent Wallace, the Bohemian Girl
by Balfe, Somnanbula, by Bolina, Night Dancers, by Loder, Fra Diavolo, by Aubier, Der Frieschutz, by
Weber, constitute a portion of what will be rendered night after night at our Theatre, during the coming
week. It is said that a full house cannot be secured, unless the stage presents something bordering on the
