HEARD FRox.-udge Will Campbell,
General John B. Winters and Judge
Sandy Baldwin, who left on q prospect
ing raid to White Pine o few days ago,
are heard from. These three festive
worthless were at Argent on Tuesday
evening, and there their trouble had ov-
identity commenced. They had just ar
rived on the cars, and found to their
utter horror and CONSERVATION that they
would have to lie over at Argent for
t~wenty-four hours, their names not
coming high enough on the list to be
taken through that day, as first
come, first served" is the only rule
known to tho memorable agent at
that place. He takes the list just as it
comes, without respect to persons, and
forwards the passengers just as they are
booked, in regular course OF registering.
They had got their blankets and small
stores rs we'll as themselves safely slowed
away in the coach, and were feeling
mighty jolly until the agent made them
get out with all their traps again. 1t
was mighty rough on them, but
they had to stand it. They tried blufing,
coaxing,s and all that sort Of thing, but
twas all no use. The stage
went off without them, but we
as well ms everybody round here know
full we'll that they didn't have n
fair show or they would have gone
through on that coach. Half an hours
time would have been sufficient for them
to have got all hands drunk, driver and
all, and given them possession, or they
would have bought their way through
if necessary. Lack Of time alone made
them the victims Of snap judgment.
The situation must have been II terrible
one to them, though, hundreds Of miles
away from home, in a little God-forsak-
EN- town of cloth and board shanties,
with poor Accommodations, and not a
dozen drinks Of whisky in the company
keg. "Rough, by c., General said
Campbell, rs the stage drove of and
left them, with their baggage, standing
chserlessly among the %unsociable sage
brush.
OPERA HOUSE MELoDEoS.-An extra
good bill is out for tonight, as may be
seen by reference to distributed pro-
grammes. Among the best features OF
attraction will be the lannon's Blsisdell
troupe Of Swiss Bell Ringers appearing
in the interlude in II variety Of choice
musical selections. Those who have
not yet had the pleasure of listening to
the peculiarly soft, sweet music of this
Of bells, will do well to at
tend this evening, as they may not
another opportunity given them
very soon. The great Hibsruico-pano-
romic painting, representing all the
principal cities, towns, lakes, rivers,
bays, old castles, ancient ruins and
other objects of interest throughout Ire
land, which concludes the entertain
ment, is we'll worth seeing, and we be-
lieve tonight is the last Of its exhibit
ton. In addition to these attractions
there will be q very good mclodeon
minstrel entertainment given. Parepa-
Rosa Bamford will appear in her inim-
table operate scenas and frivolties.

up by the rest Of the talented troupe.
Tommy Farrou's benefit will take place
tomorrow night.
Jusr IN Fnox WHITE PISE.-Hank
Blanchard just got in from White Pine
to-day. He came in by a new route,
which he found by looking for 1t. His
experience at White Pine was just SO,
so but he thinks it will be a great
country in n few years, after it grows to
be something. He says he saw u great
many people there, considering the age
of the place and moro millionaires

poor men than he ever saw on the Com
stock or in Placer County. They are
all rich, very rich, in their own estl-
mation-and nine-tenths Of them, II
they were to die tomorrow, would not
have enough money to pay the expense
of II modcrate-sized funeral-which
many OF them will stand in need OF be-

winter.
CARSON SrAGE.-Wilson's stages to
Carson come as regularly Mt } O'Clock
every day as Christmas does on the 2'th
of December. Mounted on the box, as
natural as life, is that g~ood-looking,
well-dressed, amiable, polite and sedate
Young man, George Gray, the very life
and soul Of q stage trip to Carson,
whose presence always 4 lends enchant-
ment to the view of Wilson's stages.

San Francisco Bulletin recently travelled
