o d-Hillers who can get away, some
times 60 over into the Sierras for hunt
ing and sporting, and enjoy themselves
hugely. Thirty to sixty miles will take
q party into the heart of as 6ne hunting
grounds as can be found in the world.
There are a great many beautiful little
lakes and brooks scattered all through
the Sierras and which are filed with
large aud small trout and white fish, the
latter being similar to the "smelt."
Parties who may desire to hunt bear,
can generally find one, or more and
others who may wish antelope or deer,
can succeed. But the most abundant
game at present is the wild duck, the
wild goose, the crane, the swan, the
sagc-heu, the mountain-grouse, the
quail, the snipe, ETC.; but hare and cot
ton-tail rabbit are very abundant. A
party Of six young men in Gold Hill,
consisting of Messrs. +. Skerritt, W. II.
~lsaacs, o. T. Barber, George Watson,
Ed. Harris, and Gus. Richter, left last
Wednesday morning, in a spring wagon,
duly rugged and equipped for u four
days hunt on the north side Of the
Truckee, and up Long Valley, not over
thirty miles from here. They had i'm
mense success, not only in killing game,
but also in eating and-drinking fresh
water. Young Watson tells us, land
Faithfully no doubt, that they had an
immense iron-pot along, aud in which
they actually cooked t'eeaty-trO ducks
for one dinner for the crowd The party
killed one hundred and forty hare, thirty
ducks, one dozen grouse aud sage-hens,
several cotton-tails, etc. They brought
home with them one hundred and four
teen hare, which they generously dis
tribu,ed among their friends. The
"boys' enjoyed themselves finely on
their hunting trip-eating, drinking,
shooting, cooking, sleeping in hay
stacks, and being Jolly on general
principles. An occasional trip like this
tends to make life more pleasant and
enjoyable.
PIpER's.-Superior bill for tonight.
The house was full on Saturday night.
Miss Kate 0'Neil was, as usual, called
out four times, for more song. Barn.
well was encored, on u bet that be was
no, singing in the English language.
The chap who bet on foreigners won.
Barnwell and Miss O'Neil sing a duett
very pleasingly. Tuers is where he
should appear. Charley Rhoades was
very good in the after piece. He may
be designated as "a smart fellow with q
bad cold" That's him, Almost always.
Miss Jennie Morton was sick with
molar toothache, which was u disap-
pointment, as her new dance and song
is gay. john Piper informs US that "new
talent" will soon arrive. He's bound
to keep up the standard.
CHINA GAMnLERs.-Several Cinnamon
were arrested on Saturday night, in
Gold Hill, for gambling without a
license. They were arraigned in Judge
Halls Court this morning, and had to
pay costs of court. Chinese gambling
is more extensively practiced than is
generally known-but il seems TO be q
vice, as they understand it, peculiarly
their own, and carried or in their own
little shanties, to which the white
skinned Caucasian has no access,
either as u spectator or participant.
The Piute also CANDLES but he takes
the open air, and the cold, cold ground
for it. He can be seen any day on some
high hill around this town.
THEArER, To-MoRRow NlGHr.-On
Tuesday evening, the Chapman Theat-
rical Troupe will give a performance at
the Gold Hill Theater. AS the ladies
and little ones Of Gold Hill seldom have
n chance to go to the Theater, they will
now have an opportunity, and to see an
excellent performance, too. There will
be three plays, besides some singing
and dancing. The Chapman Troupe Is
deservedly popular, and may be induced
to play more nights than one. We pre-
sumo this will depend on the turnout
the first evening. They have any
mou of plays, and right good talent
in their company to present them. See
advertisement under "New To-Day"
PALMYRA DIsrRlcr.-We are pleased
to hear that Palmyra District is begin
ming to loom up again. There are four
or FIVE companies now at work prospect
ing their claims, and stirring and poking
things up and down quite actively.
Some ore has already been sent to one
of the mills at Dayton, and we under
stand has yielded upwards Of forty dol
lars per ton. Pretty good, from crop
pings, Of which there are many tons.
THE CARSON MINsrRELs, the old COM
pauy and popular band reorganized,
propose to greet the citizens Of Carson
with some choice music and comic say
ings and doings, on next Saturday even
ing. They car execute good music, and
probably create more local fun than any
travelling company of the like character.
Appeal.
BLACK CRoox.-Crowded Saturday
night. A grand free and easy time.
Jimmy Murphy and Miss Josephine can
beat the world dancing. Miss Ida May
sings screaming songs. Inflated pro-
pramme for to-nioht.
