The grand benefit to the Gold Hill
Miners Union, given at Pipers' 0perl
House last evening, vas a very great
success in every respect. The theatel
was crowded as long as a soul could
get into it, and many were obliged tc
leave, unable to obtain admittance,
We are glad to see so worthy a cause SC
well sustained, aud pleased to know
that q very handsome sum was realized
to the assistance Of the benevolent fund
Of the Union. The play Of the evening
was "Lady Audley's Secret" one oil
the finest and best plays in the cata.
logue. As Lady Audley, Mrs. Bowers
almost etcelled herself; the rendition
certainly could not have been excelled
by any one else in the world. She car
ried the rapt attention Of the audience
with her from beginning to end, and at
the conclusion of the piece was enthu-
siastically called before the curtain.
Robert Audley, as represented by Mr..
McCollum, was a most excellent piece
Of acting, and the Luke Marks of Beatty
was most villainously and consistently
rendered. We could suggest no i'm
provement. Buckley succeeded well in
the character of George Tallboys, and
Howsou did very we'll rs Sir Harry
| Towers. The female characters were
all meritoriously personated, and the
piece passed of smoothly, with no very
perceptible assistance from the prompt
er. At the conclusion Of the entertain
ment, in response to loud calls from the
audience, Mr.. A. G. Hay, ex-President OF
the Gold Hill Miners Union, came be-
fore the curtain, and in a neat little
speech thanked the immense audience,
in the nam of the Miners Union, for
their liberal patronage bestowed on this
occasion. His remarks were well re-
ceived, and altogether the miners may
justly feel proud of this substantial
evidence Of public appreciation. The
play for tonight will be "Lucrezia Dor.
gia," besides which Miss Rose Rand
will sing a favorite ballad, and the
laughable farce Of the "Belle Of the
Kitchen" will be given" The season
closes tomorrow evening, therefore all
who have o yet seen the greatest liv'
ing actress, Mrs. Bowers, should no,
fail to embrace to opportunity.

cent state since then, that most people
have begun to be Of the opinion that
the whole enterprise has fallen through.
The San Francisco Bulletin Of the 18th
inst, however, seem to take another
view Of the matter, and thinks the road
will finally be built through the direct
assistance Of the principal mining CON-
panies on the Comstock ledge, as it will
be a great saving in the way of
transportation Of supplies, ore, etc.
II concludes an able statistical
article on the subject as follows 1:
" With a railroad in operation, as pro-
posed, the necessity Of laying in sup
| plies in the fall for the winter months
would be obviated, thus contributing to
a still further reduction in the expense
account. In this connection we may
state that the Trustees Of the Savage
Mining Company have already author

An effort will be made to increase the

to the bylaws. Other Washoe mining
companies will doubtless make similar
advances, and thus hasten the compile.

Iyro THE SUNLIaHr.-William Nicely,
the deaf and dumb miner, whose RICH,
arm and shoulder was so badly crushed
by a cave in the Chollar-P otosi mine q
few weeks since, is sufficiently recover
ed to be about the streets once more.
| The bone was so badly crushed that
seven or eight inches Of it was entirely
removed, from the shoulder socket hall
way to the elbow. We met him this
morning on South G street, Virginia,
with his arm in a sling, looking hopeful
and we'll, and with a pretty good grip
already manifesting itself in his right
hand. That arm will prove Of consld-
cradle use to him yet, and is better than
$50 wooden arms. Henderson, the
teamster who had his left leg broken
several months ago, at Dayton, and
from improper surgical treatment was
obliged to com to Virginia and have it
reset is also about the streets, on
crutches. In due time he will have
Just AS good a leg rs ever. Both these
cases were treated at the Hospital st.
