MINERS UNION BENEFIT T,

MINERS UNION BENEFIT TONIGHT
No y will fail to remember that the
Gold Hill Miners Union takes a bene6,
at Pipers' Opera House tonight. Mrs.
Bowers, the great American actress, to.
gether with the entire Opera House Com.
pany, will appear in the thrilling and
popular play of Lady Audley's Sc
cret." That the theatre will be filled
as long as a soul can get into it, there
can be no doubt, but it should be far
more than full on that occasion, as rep.
resented by the tickets sold. 1t is a
matter Of good business policy with
merchants, professional aud business
men generally, to buy freely Of tickets
on this occasion, for in what way could
money be more worthily expended than
for the relief Of sick or disabled miners,
so many Of whom are to be found in
our midst2 So many miners have also
been killed Of late, that burial expenses,
added to the other drafts on the treas
ury, had depleted it to a very low ebb,
so that public assistance is required.
Let 1t be freely given. Never mind
whether you 60 to see the play or not
buy plenty Of tickets.
PIPER's OPERA HousE.-This highly
popular place of theatrical resort and
pleasure, was well attended during the
last two evenings, and most surely will
be again tonight on the occasion Of the
benefit to the Gold Hill Miners Union.
Everybody who can afford to buy Eve or
ten tickets should do so, and only use
one Of them in case they 60 themselves.
The balance they ~ give to those
who cannot raise the requisite dollar,
or they can tear them up, rs many per-
sons have done already. "Lady Aud
ley's Secret" will be the principal at
traction of the evening, and in it Mrs.
Bowers, the unrivaled American actress,
stands pre-eminent. Everybody, 60 to
the Opera House tonight.
AccIDEST.-By the breaking Of the
clutch which turns one of the reels at
the Imperial-Empire hosting works last
Saturday while lowering an empty tank,
the tank together with the cable all
went to the bottom of the shaft. No
great amount of damage was done, but
it will be q week before a new clutch
will arrive from San Francisco, and
things working as before. Progress in
the drifts, however, is not impeded by
this accident, as all the hosting Of
water or rock is done now in the adjoin-
ing compartment of the shaft.
A ToE-JAN.-A prominent Superin-
tendent of a mine in Gold Hill met with
quite a toe-jam yesterday, at the Glen
brook House, Lake Tahoe. A bedstead
broke down, and his foot being in the
way, his big toe was terribly mashed.
It is usual for toes to be on top instead
of under observation-disclosures the awkward
position Of the unfortunate Superinten-
dent, who, it is explained, was only
standing in front Of the bedstead when
it fell, coaversing with a gentleman
acquaintance.
