Our HOME CoNcERT-This entertainment
came off last Saturday evening. To say it
was success, is weak The Hall was filed
and many left because of being too late to
get seats. The tableaux the singing. the
playing-all excellent-went to make up an
entertainment superior in attraction, and
giving greater satisfaction, than any that
our citizens have had the pleasure of wit
Messing for long years.
In this connection we will say, and call
the attention of parents thereto, that at the
concert, and at all that for some time have
preceded it, there was disturbing element
in the audience that. for all future occasions,
should be suppressed. We emean the screech
ing cat.calls. and inopportune applauding-
ifsueh demoniac noises NAV be called ap
plause- of Young America. The youth of
oar town have become expert in making
themselves a nuisance in such places--a dis
comfort to every lady and gentleman in the
audience, and to all engaged in the ex.
hibition. When persons engaged in furnish
ing amusement or instruction to an audience
are apnlauded, they like to know that it
comes from those competent to understand
and appreciate them /; but they do not like
to have their ears pierced and distracted by
the unearthIy noises yelled forth at every
opportunity by some dozen Youngsters who
seem to 90 to such places for no other pur
pose than to show their proficiency in black
guardism. In our youth we were taught
that little boys should be seen and not
heard" That lesson is not taught in Shasta
at the present day. We will suggest TO the
next manager of an exhibition here, that he
procure the attendance of an officer whose
duty it shall he to put outside OF the walls
the first youth who shall so offend against
decency and propriety.

WoRTHLEss.-We give below evidence that
should convince the most skeptical that
Shasta county as mining district has given
out; that to invest in mining business is
money thrown away:
The Highland Company, running ten
stamps, seven days run, cleaned up last
week the trifling little sum of IS, ,5S3 10
The rock from which this yield was obtained
is abundant and cheaply placed at the mill.
The Washington. because Of "a scarcity of
water, has only been running three stamps.
and they only for tn purpose of crushing a
pile Of rock that was in the way. Sixty tuns
yielded $500.
The Baker Company are driving tunnels
and prospecting their ledge thoroughly. The
other day the boys went to work and crushed
a hundred pounds of their rock in hand
mortar, to get whisky money They only
got S3o. II they are satisfied with such mis-
cradle stuff as that, Of course it is none of
our business.
Sam. Growers mill will be crushing rock
IN two or three weeks
In about ten days the tunnel at Horse
shoe Bend will be through, and from two and
a half to three miles of the Sacramento river
bed laid bare. An opportunity then offers
Tor thousand miners to employ themselves
probably, as it is the intention Of the compa-
ny to let their ground on reasonable terms.
At Qnartz Hill and vicinity some good
lodes have recently been struck Some fine
specimens from them were shown in town
THIS week. Arrangements are being made
at the Mammoth mill for the crushing of a
quantity Of the rock from one Of the newly
discovered lodges
