DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ATTE:RPM:NT BREEZE
Gas WORES.--A. fire broke out about half
past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the
extensive coal sheds at the Point .Breeze
Gas Works. The coal sheds, where the lire
originated, were four in number, having a
depth of 250 feet and width of 60 feet. They
ran east and west, were open at both ends
and the sides, being la . kind of frame work,
with slate roof, and supported by girders.
They were located directly to the west of the
retort houses, on the Schuylkill. At the
west end of the sheds is a tower, to which
the coal is hoisted in cars, by means of hy
draulic pressure. The cars then run along
a track on top of the sheds, through which
the coal is dumped. The north shed, where
the fire orig.inated, contained about 2,500
tons of coal. The next shed was empty,
while the adjoining contained about 10,000
tons. The fire was discovered in the north
shed by the Superintendent, and before he
had barely time to summon aid, the whole
pile of coal, from one end of the shed to the
other, a distance of-SOO feet, was in a blaze.
The flames communicated to the woodwork
of the adjoining shed, and the roofs o f both
were soon burned off. Steam engines were
sent for, but owing to the bad condition of
the roads. only four succeeded in reaching
the scene. Chief Engineer Lyle was present
and superintended the movements of the
firemen.
The north sheds were entirely destroyed,
the southern ones, with their contents,being
saved. Had it not been for the fortunate
fact, however, that, the second shed was
empty, the whole four would have perished.
Located to the northwest of the sheds stands
the lime kilns, which being on very low
ground along the river front the tops only
extended up to the foundation of the coal
sheds. These lime kalru3 were covered with
frame sheds, and the latter were partially
burned off. The kilns were about one and
a half stories in height, and were filled
with lime which is always in a burning
state being used in the purifying of the
gas These kilns, together with the lime
sheds, stand isolated, and in no way con
nected with the main buildings.
On the Schuylkill bank on the north lhie
of the Gas Works stood Lippincott's Labora
tory—a, square shaped three storied
brick structure, erected there for the pur
pose of receiving the liquor given off in the
manufacture of gas and converting it into
some chemical preparation. This belonged
to J. Dundee Lippencott. The building took
fire and was completely gutted out, and the
roof destroyed. The total loss in round
figures will reach, it is thought, at least
$50,000.At least 2,500 tons of coal were all
in a blaze, but it was thought that some
portion of it underneath might be used. It
was valued at $l2 per ton. The sheds were
valued at about $15,000.
The laboratory building was occupied by
Henry Bower, who was engaged in the
manufacture of chemicals. He made in the
bulk, sulpho cyanide of mercury, which is
used for making the eggs of Pharaoh's ser
pents. He also made prussiate of potash
land other articles. His loss is about $l,OOO,
And is uninsured. The loss on the building
is estimated at $2,500. No insurance. The
fire in this structure originated mysteriously
and is under investigation by Fire Marshal
Blackburn. The building did not take fire
from the burning coal and the fire did not
break out until seven o'clock in the evening.
About that time, a man who resides in a
house close by states, there was an explosion
and in an instant the whole structure was
enveloped in flames.
The fire among the coal was the result of
spontaneous combustion, and it was still
burning this morning. Four steam engines
were in service during last night, and this
morning two more were sent for and pro
ceeded to the scene of the conflagration.
AN Ditrosnro ernocrung.—The spirit of
improvement, so rife in nearly all sections
,of our city, is also developing itself along
Front street. At No. 116 South Front street,
Messrs. Reiff, Howell dr, Harvey are erecting
la splendid and capacious building, three
stories in height, with an elegantly-de
signed iron front, supported by heavy col
umns of Corinthian architecture. The
building extends back two hundred and
twenty-five feet, and is thirty-one feet wide,
having three entrances from the street—one
on Front street, one on Gatzmer street, and
one on Gothic street. Its interior is divided
into compartments conveniently designed
for the transaction of every branch connected
with the business of wholesale grocers, &P. '
for which these gentlemen purpose to use it.
.The plans and work are under the supervi
sion of Messrs. Collins and Auteraeith,
architects, who were also the architects of
the new establishment just completed by
Messrs. Massey, Colli e & Co., at Tenth and
Filbert streets. When completed, the new
structure of Messrs. Reiff, Howell & Harvey
will be the most imposing wholesale gro
cery establishment on Front street. The
carpenter work is being done by Mr. John
Bolt, and is progressing with the utmost
rapidity, so that the stores will be finished
and occupied in a few weeks.
THE LATE FIRE—FARRELL, HERRING

and many valuable books and papers be
longing to Wells, Fargo & Co. The out
side of the safe was badly damaged, but the
interior is as good as new. Other safes of
their make have also been rescued and have
been found to have thoroughly_ protected
contents. Messrs. Farrell, Herring &
Co. have won the highest reputation for the
articles they manufacture, and the late fire
has only been an additional triumph for
them.

PROSPECTUS
OF VIE
CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
The Land of this Company consists of 120 ACHES
in Mecklenberg county, North Carolina. SW, miles from
the town of Charlotte, ona branch of Sugar Creek,
which stream furnishes gook water power for grinding
thebres. This Mine was first opened in 1838 by a man
named Carson, who worked it tmccessfhlly for a num
ber of years. He died in the town of Charlotte, in
1346, worth over half a million dollars.
Two shafts have been sunk on this property, one of
them 80 feet, the other 60 feet, on different veins.
averaging from two to three feet in thickness, which
veins still continue on down increasing in width and
richness. These shafts are in good order, and ore can
be readily taken out at any time. Other veins havebeen
discovered on this property, and tested and proved to
be very rich in gold. The ores of this mine are known.
as the brown ore, and very rich, yielding readily ele
per bushel. This is believed to be one of the best and
most certain mines in the State, on account of the
abundance and quality of the ore, and ease In which
it is obtained area reamed. This property has been
eakingk l
worked by Major Z. A. Grier from 1840 to the br
out of the war. This Company have purchased this
property, and intend to erect machinery and put the
mines in immediate operation. The many advantages
of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada
can hardly be estimated. It is more readily reached,
and has abundance of fhel. with cheap labor. It can
be worked all the year, and not, as in the case of Colo
redo and Nevada, be compelled to lie idle for three or
tour months in consequence of the severity of the
winter.
This mine having been worked for a long time
proved to be a rich paying one. We do not, therefore
have to incur the risk there is in an undeveloped pro.
perty. but can count on large and immediate returns
on the investments. Having an ore that readily yields
$lO per bushel, some estimate can be made of the
value of this property. With the present imperfect
system of mining In this locality, and absence of pro
per machinery, ten tons of this ore can be taken eut
daily from every shaft opened. Faisrnnting. say 15
bushels to the ton, the daily yield will be 31,500 from
one shaft, allowing poo per day for expenses. The net
product will be $1,200 per day; counting = working
days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be sctscoco s
which yield can be largely increased by extending the
works. This is considered a very low estimate of the
capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that
locality. The Assayer of the United States Mint at
Charlotte, in speaking of this property, says it bas few
equals in productiveness in that country, and with
proper management and toner , eery the above pro.
duct can be doubled.
