ously. For nearly four weeks it has
drawn the finest paying houses ever seen
in the largest theater on the Coast, and
there seems to be literally emo let-up" to
it. Tomorrow Mrs. Sedley Brown takes
her first benefit, and a number OF other
benefits viii help to fill out the bills for Q
full week longer, when a new novelty will
be introduced. No piece which has ever
been put on our stage ever brought n
half the money to the Manager that this

"hold his grip" and not lose all he has
made in some less fortunate venture, he is
indeed a lucky man.
KILLING THE GOOSE THAT LAID H GOLDEN
e-r % BG1. Gel
The immense copper mines OF the Colo
RADIO country seem destined to go unde-
veloped on account of the immense cost Of
transportation to market. The companies
which have done most and sent the largest
shipments of copper ore, arc all stopping
work. This result is inevitable. Take
the Williams Fork mines, for instance.
1t costs 50 per ton to pack the ore to the
river; 50 for sacks, and 1913 per tor
freights, all the tOay by ,oater, to San Fran
cisco, or $48 per ton to land it on our
wharves, over and above the expense of
getting it out of the mine. Then came
charges for re-sacking, primage, wharfage,
drayage, sampling, assaying. et., etc., and
when all was over, even 40 per cent. ore
is a source of little profit, and 80 per cent.
ore brings the miner in debt. Under such
circumstances it is no wonder that work
stops. The Colorado Steam Navigation
Company will soon cease to have a pound
of ore to carry. They have literally
"killed the goose that laid the golden
egg" The Great Central Mining Com
pany is now building smelling furnaces to
ship there, which, if successful, will en-
able them to carry on their already we'll
developed mine OF a handsome profit, and
in that way only can the rich mines Of
that country be worked at all. OPPOSE
| ton on the river would soon bring freights
down to living rates, but the system OF
" freezeout" and combined monopoly,
which has sent 1900 people away from
our Coast by steamer within the last ten
days, and is daily depicting US Of popula-
ton, has it all its W way at present and
will probably continue to do so for long
years to come.
WHITE WOMEN MIGHTY UNCERTAIN.
A curious case is soon to appear on the
docket of one Of our Courts. Some years
since, a resident of this city well to do in
the world, married q young and beautiful
woman, daughter Of one of the first fam
lilies of Virginia the first families
of that State, by the by, came over
with a ball and chain on their
legs, while the second came of her
own free will, but I waive that point,
and commenced housekeeping. He was
called away for a short time, and on re-
turning to San Francisco, found that his
wife had skedaddled and returned to the
East without a word of explanation. He
wept and sorrowed for q time, but became
partially reconciled to his loss when he re-
ceived q letter from his brother law,
stating that Henrietta" had concluded
to Join him once more, and "try and
make his home happy" All his old love
sprang up anew, and he determined, In
spite Of the advice of his friends, to give
her another trial. He did give her an
other trial, and she ran away in just two
weeks and returned to the East. Another
interval Of non-intercourse Of longer du
ration, and he got another letter. "Hen.
rietta is determined to try once more tc
make your home happy, and she start!
next steamer" He had his doubts, and
consulted his friends. One of them lei
the cat out of the bag at once, so to speak.
by informing him that Andrews, a noted
Free Love" advocate, who committed
suicide not long since by Jumping out o
a window on Broadway, New York, had
been living with his wife for years, and
his death had started her out here for the
third time with the intention of black.
mailing him, or getting a divorce and ali.
mony from the Courts. Pretty women
generally manage to get the Courts or
their side, you know. He took the hint
put his property out Of his hands, and
when Henrietta arrives she will find
neither a home to make happy, a husband
to make a fool Of, nor an estate to get Pc
%cuniary recompense for blighted affection
out of. This story is strictly true, Us
have the best possible reasons for know
ing.
OUR FINANCES ALL RIGHT.
The following Proclamamation from oui
beloved monarch cuts the Gordian kno'
and settles the "metallic currency" ant
"paper money" questions at once:
LOUIS McLANE, ESQ.,, Of Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s Bank Of San Francisco, CAL, il
hereby appointed Minister of Finance o.
the Empire. All other authority or inter
ference is hereby revoked.
NORTON l.,
Emperor of the United States,
And Protector of Mexico.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Oct. l9, 1866.
Bully for the Emp! Max. is nowhere
and Louis behind the times. Consider
that little affair settled.
THE ELECTION.
AS I close my letter the judicial election
is going on quietly, little or no party in
tercst being manifested. The contest i:
almost entirely on personal issues, and
neither party can achieve a triumph as Q
party. The desertion of the Union party
by DR.. Rowell surprised nobody here
where he is known. His conversion to
Unionism was too sudden and violent
and his denunciations Of the Copperheadt
and Peoples Party men, whom he pro-
posed to hang and poison en- mas's but q
few months since, too sanguinary and saw
age not to be simulated for effect. Others
Of the same stamp will follow suit.
