attractions there that cannot fail to
draw. With Charley Rhoadss for
"middls man." and Otto Burbank and
Johnny Tusrs for the two "end men,
the jokes, witticisns and general con-
duct Of the "first part" could not fail TO
be good, especially with such GALAXY
Of vocal and instramsntai talent also

IuPlRIAL-EMrIRs.-A the depth Of
l ,0so feet from the surface a station is
Just started for drift west into the
ledge. The outer clay wall is cut
through at the bottom Of the shaft, and
. dry body Of porphyry, mixed with
quartz, penetrated seven feet. This will
probably be thirty or forty feet thick
when 4 clay seam will DO cut through, +,
and the main body Of the ledge entered,
when water will probably be sncouu-
tered, also the rich streak known to ex-
ist at the 9oO-foot level. A now tank
of the capacity Of 5, 900 gallons has been
completed at the bottom Of the shaft, in
readiness to catch whatever flow OF
water there may be. Some necessary
repairs are to be made to the shaft, and
the intersecting point in the ledge will
not be reached until about three weeks
from now. Then look out for some.
thing good.
IrpsRILL.-The old hosting works Of
the Imperial mine were stopped for a
day or two last week, in order to make
a few slight repairs to the machinery,
but they are going all right again to-
day. That nice little streak Of $50 ore
found next the east wall, at the Alpha
line, in the 90o-foot level, promises ex-
ceediugly we'll. At that point winzs
is being sunk, which is now some TWEEN
ty-Sve feet in depth. At the depth OF
forty feet it is proposed to drift east and
west, cutting not only that good streak
next the east wall, but also developing
another of a very promising nature,
known to exist few yards west Of the
winze.
LEAP YEAR, LADrls.-We certainly
hope the ladies will not forget that this
10 leap year, and that only thrsc days
more Of it remain. During the prsva-
lencs of leap year the fair seI are spe-
cially privileged to do all the "spark-
ing" aud to make matrimonial matches
to suit themselves. We bachelors are
not allowed TO refuse an eligible offer.
We arc perfectly defenseless in that re-
spect against female charm. until next
Thursday night, at IL o'clock.

School will have their annual Festival

church, exercises commencing at ?.

joyour and happy time.
Rrcovxnrxa.-Edward Rule, who was
stabbed at Virginia Christmas morning,
although pretty badly cut, is much bet
ter this morning and in fair way to

Rule Is able to get about, his examinH-

ALpuA.-A good body OF pay ore is
developed and being worked in the AL
phs mine at the e00-foot level, being
the same good streak found in tho I'm
psrial at the same level. II is about
i've feet thick, and lies next the east
wall Of the ledge.
No FRESH CAsEs.-Ws have no fresh
cases of smallpox to report in Gold Hill
to-day. Those Of Simons and Binsley
are the only ones We luIuriate IN at
present. We may bo able to do better
soon, but Just now there isn't enough
to go around.
SIaSs or rHI TINEs-This morning,
