surrrw,rrn. Uo,-A PARTY of eight

men from Gold Hill and Virginia are
preparing to start for the new and re-
puted rich mines Of Sweetwater, far
away on the eastern slope Of the Rocky
Mountains, near the South Pass. They
intend starting just as soon as Spring rs
fairly opened, and appear extremely
s%anCuine of success. They propose
taking the Overland stage as FAR as
they can, and from there adopt the
most feasible way Of getting 70 u
Golden land Of promise, long SINCE
Ssmcd for the attractive name Of its
waters. They read all the rose colored
accounts Of that golden land whose
very distance, even, "leuds enchaut-
ment TO the view" There are doubt
less many others who will be DESTROYS
also of going thither in the Spring, for
it is the most natural thing in the world
for men to get excited and join in, when
ever they see anybody else rushing.
Popular opinion changes wonderfully,
too, in the course Of time. Every
Spring, as the snow and gloomy storms
of Winter pass away, and fresh breezes,
balmy with odors Of many green herbs,
expand the grateful lungs, the human
mind becomes reju~venated, rs it were,
and the desire TO branch out in some
direction forcibly presents itself. Away
the people go, rushing pell nell after
each other in eager pursuit ot some uis-
tant golden phantom, to return IN a Few
short months, weary and heart'Siek
with disappointment. Remember the

of prospectors already starting out from

ated contiguous to the Sweetwater
mines, people there ought TO be much
better posted relative to those mines
than we or anybody else at q dis
lance can be, and although Cheyenne
could not fail to be benefited by the
rush to Sweetwater, read what the
CHEYENNE Daily Argus says regarding
it people are apt to forget past MS
tories, and sad experience in such mat
tiers as the pixies Peak" and the many
other similar disastrous excitements-
each have u terrible history OF death,
disappointment and restitution, and
still all these will be forgotten by many
in the hurry and determination OF min.
ing Adventures, TO be first in the held
of opcratious. These eNcitements are
decidedly dangerous in many cases,
owing to the fact that so many rush oil
altogether unprepared for the trip. They
fail to supply themselves with either
provisions, tools, or money to purchase
them with, BY reason OF which they are
compelled to subsist upon the few who
have them, or suffer starvation. No one
should set out on Il prospecting expcd'-
ton to such a place without first being
well provided with provisions, tools ano
blankets, and horses to pack them
They should go so prepared as TO DC
able to spend a whole Summer IN pros
pecting without calling upon others Tor
assistance. Such men may strike some

Pliers OPERA HousE.-There was q
very fair attendance at the Opera House,
last evening, and n goodly number OF
ladies adorned the dress circle, it being
"ladies night" The beautiful little
dramas of f" Black Eyed Susan and
the "lrish Diamond were given, in
both which Sue Robinson fully sus-
tanned her we'll deserved reputation rs
very pleasing, natural and accomplished
actress, even improving in some points
on her former renditions Of the same
pieces. She was ably sustained by the
Opera House company. Billy Robinson
is capable of doing much better than he
did. As the equity old General DAILY:
in the last piece, Woodland could hardly
have been excelled, but in William, in
"Black Eyed SUSAN" there was too
much acting, causing q needless drag IN
the piece, and a consequent late hourin
closing the entertainment. In the inter-
lude, the fancy dance Of Sue Robinson,
the duet of Miss Josephine and Barn.

Murphy, with the ~extravagantly eccen-
trio answer to it by Johnny Tuers, were
all very good indeed. Another excel
lent bill is out for tonight.
