Article touches on the lack of aid and the fire in the Ophir mine shaft. Fire resulted in “three fourths of the city being swept away and damages to several mills and mines” [Paher, Nevada Ghost Towns & Mining Camps. 1970 page 19]. The Daily Times was only in operation for a year, from 1875-76 [http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn93051987/].
