OrERA HOUSE, MELoDEoS.-Piper
evidently does o mean to allow the
f~un-loving and amusement.seeking pub
lie to lack in the least for u good place
to spend their evenings. He is con-
stantly engaging the choicest of talent,
and preparing the freshest and most at
tractive novelties for the special delec-
tation and enjoyment of the patrons of
his famous Opera House. The COM
pany he has now performing there cor
tainly 10 not equaled on the Pacific
Coast. Not even in San Francisco is
there a melodeon company consisting OF
such an amount and variety OF promi-
nent and real talent. Otto Burbank,
all will allow, is the old Sachsm and
leader of anything in his peculiar line.
He is the best general performer in
burnt cork. burlesque, serio-comic, and
even rs h legitimate stock actor, there
is in the profession. There is but one
Ella LsRue, only one Bamford, only one
Charley Rhoades, and these are all
noted and marked pe~culiarities, each in
their own chosen line. Tommy Far,on,
Kitty O'Neil, Nellie Hosmer, Lew Par
ker, Miss Josephine and Little Clara
are perhaps less marked as distinctive
peculiarities ; but their musical, vocal
and delineative talent is nevertheless Of
a high order Of merit. The balance Of
the company consists Of very fair gen.
eral performers. The entertainment
given each evening is always a first
class one, pleasing, novel and interest
ing throughout and rs the price Of ad-
mission to either dress circle or par
quette is only four bits, everybody can
afford to 60 to the melodeon.
Amour THE WxArnER.-The signs all
call for winter weather to commence
now. The high and clustering winds of
yesterday aud last night, from the
southwest, %betokened a storm at hand,
and resulted to-day in a light tall of
snow which melted rs fast as it fell, but
was highly beneficial in laying the dust.
November of last year vas similar to
the November just past, except being
perhaps o little more inclined to be
stormy about the fifth and sixth OF
the month, when there was quite q snow
storm. The balance Of the mouth, like
last month, was fine, clear, agreeable
weather. The winter storms of last
year may properly be said to have COM
meuced on the Sd OF December, as from
that date u succession Of regular wintry
storms set in which lasted far into the
next spring. Whether winter has setin
to-day remains to be seen (; yet in view
Of the utter failure OF everybody's prog
n%ostications last year, in predicting an
"open winter" let no one 60 to risking
their prophetic reputation by making
similar predictions at the present time.
There Is plenty of time even between
Christmas and June for the same kind
Of an s'open winter" as the last, a style
Of "open winter" nobody goes a cent
on.
GLORIOUS visIoN.-On the occasion OF
Miss Ella LaRue's famous rope-walking
feat at Virginia last Monday evening,
in public, we noticed our friend Jenkins
standing at the intersection of d and
Union streets, looking earnestly but
rather bewilderedly upward as Miss La
Rue passed gracefully along the rope
stretched across overhead at that point,
amid o lurid, roseate glare OF red fire.
Jenkins was evidently pretty tight, for
he couldn't stand still 1T all anywhere
within the space Of ten feet, and the
more be looked up, the more obfustica-
ted he appeared. We asked him after
the splendid feat Was accomplished,
how he liked it. "Bully, dam bully /;
(hic) bet yer life, old boy says he;
" biggest thing on ice. Splendifiredest
'ranSement ever SAW. Dye know, it
lest did look ter me like a harp OF a
thouzu strings (hic) with u whole crowd
O. fat-lsgged, poorly little angels a
waltzin' up and down every dam string,
(hic) and holdin' more ~ cord o bean
poles in each hand (hic). Like it,?
whoop.ee I'll Jest be blowed eff FAINT
goin' ter see old Piper and buy the
whole 'rangemeut, red fire and all, and
take it out ter White Pine

CuoLLAR CRorPlSGs.-The surface
rock of the old Chollar mine still con-
tiuues to yield well, and we understand
that the parties who are working the
ore zeal the surface at the B street lev
ell, in the vicinity of the Wood s Goe
cave, under contract with the Chollar-
Potosi Company, are succeeding very
we'll in the extraction Of goodly quanti-
ties of remuneratiye ore. Numerous
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have
been produced from the old Chollar
groupings.
CupIsru,s FEsrIyAL.-The little folks
connected with the Methodist Episcopal
Sabbath School, Virginia, are to be
treated to a festival at the Church on
