Kings scientific corps, in taking photo
graphs of the interior of the Storey
county mines. The pictures will be
made with the aid Of magnetism lights.
They will be wonderful curiosities, GER
tainly. Alladin's Grotto and caves Of
old ocean where the mermaids are sup
posed to hold tea parties, will sink into
commonplace sights compared there
with.-Carson appeal.
At Suttsrley's photograph gallery in
Virginia city, a be seen a series OF
views of the famous Mammoth Cave,
Kentucky, taken in the manner referred
to in the above item. The idea is not
new, bu, the difficulty has Away been
in not having a strong enough light LOT
the purpose, until the magnesian wire
light was recently brought to bear III
the case. The darkest places above or
below ground can now be made as light
as noon-day, and correct pictures taken
of what is thus revealed. The many
hundreds of people resident above the
surface Of our mines yet who nave never
ventured a descend into them, can
apparently soon have an opportunity OF
inspecting their most hidden and "po-
kerishr recesses, while comfortably
seated before their own parlor fires.
PrpER's OPERA House.. -There was
the usual good attendance at the Opera
House last evening. Otto Burbank, and
Master Farron, still continue to be prime
| favorites with the public, and as usual
called forth much applause last evening
from the entire audience. Rhoades,
Foster, Fanny Hanks, Maggie Brewer,
and all the rest were excellent in their
parts. Why does not Johnny Tuers re-
produce some Of his jolly old songs he
used to sing in the palmy days of old
Music Hall? They would be pleasing
to listen to once more. Everybody goes
to Amy Stones benefit tonight.

Flat will be q hard road to travel for
the next three months.
AFTER RILEY.-The liberal rewards
offered for the capture of Riley, who

been in the hands Of justice before this
time.
