for Salt Lake, thus cutting loose from
the company Of dramatic artists who
expected to accompany them and share
their t%riumphal success along the route
overland and in the Atlantic States.
Those two famous actors did not add
any new laurels to their coroneted brows
in presuming as they did to play the
part of buffoons and travesty Richard
III. at the Gold Hill Theater u week
ago last Sunday night, in derision or as
. sort Of retaliation on the people here
for not giving them a larger audience
on the occasion. They evidently con-
sidered that they were only playing in
"Slippery Gulch," q little old one-horse
town, and therefore felt licensed to do
as they pleased. They apparently were
unconscious or unmindful Of the fact
that to this town they were indebted for
one third Of the numerous full audi
ences they had previously received at
Piper's Opera House. We are Of the
opinion that those two lords Of the
drama did not make much by the course
they took on that occasion. We gave
them a slight showing up in the NEWS,
and our contemporaries everywhere fol-
lowed up with deserved condemnatory
scorings Of them, although in some
cases their names were withheld. The
Dramatic Chronicle Of last Saturday, in
commenting upon the matter, justly re-
marks: s'Had any actors Of less promi-
hence than Barrett or Mccullough COM
mitted the ofense in question, their
names would have been freely yentiia-
ted. II the matter is open to cenlure
at all, actors like Barrett and AcCul-
Tough are twice as culpable as those Of
less note would have been, and there
fore twice as unworthy Of being shown
forbearauee." We are privately of the
opinion that those two theatrical
~"smarties" will be a little more careful
as to how they act should they ever
again appear on the stage before n Gold
Hill audience.
REFISERY.-Messrs. Ringlc & Co. have
Just put into successful operation, at
the northeast corner Of F street and
Sutton avenue, Virginia, u new refinery
Of metals. A test Of its abilities to
perfectly refine metals is now being
made with FIVE tons Of Walker River
copper; and as far rs the process has
advanced, it comes up to the best ex-
~pectations of the metallurHlsts. We
paid 4 visit to the new works on Satur-
day afternoon, and judging from a cur.
sorry examination Of them, VI have
faith 10 their entire success, and that
they are the very works Of which our
people have so long stood in need, to
test the value of the baser metals and
ores which have for years been known
to exist in this State. We understand
that the proprietors of these new works
have q firm belief 10 their capacity to
bene6cially reduce and refine the argen-
tiferous galena ores Of the New True
kee district, and q working test is to DO
made this week of some of the ore from
the Imperial Consolidated mine in that
district. It 10 said that copper ore can
be refined at ten dollars per ton-ths
market value Of which is four bundled
dollars per ton. We shall refer to these
new works again.
DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALS. - "Old
Pike" the noisy old Democrat, SO well
known in times past, at Virginia, after
On absence Of a few months rusticating
in California, returned to his old stamp
ing ground last evening, in order to be
on hand to stump the city for the DEM
ocratic party during the coming Presi-
Dental campaign which will be inaugu-
rated forthwith. Tho great chief OF
the Kuklux Khan also arrived last even
ing from Pine Grove, on business con-
nected with the Order, we presume, as
he tries to keep "~shady" and moves
about rather mysteriously. At a late
hour last night he was lurking about a
| dance cellar on South G street, Virginia
carefully watched by two policemen
His name is supposed to be Smith.
DRowSEp.-Elijah Robinson, a colored
man, was accidentally drowned while
bathing in Carson River, one mile east
of Genoa, last Saturday afternoon. He
is supposed to have been seized with
cramps. His body was recovered next
day, near where he was last seen. De.
ceased was about twenty years Of age,
and has q brother living ut Wadsworth,
also another living at Stockton, Cal.
THAT New BODY OF 0RE.-The new
body of ore encountered in sinking the
winze from the 70o-foot level Of the old
Imperial mine to connect with the 900
foot level drift below, continues to i'm
prove in extent and quality as it is sunk
upon. 1t is over seven feet thick, and
assays on an average about S23 per ton
WATER VEIy.-A small water vein il
developed at the lower level Of the
Alpha mine, which gives forth quite q
yield of water. 1t troubles operations
but little, however, Us it is easily KEEP
bailed out by means Of the hosting
tanks.
IMPERIAL WISzE.-The winze from
the sOo-foot level Of the Imperial mine
has progressed upward about forty feet,
The upper end of the same winze, OF
rather the portion to connect with II
from the 700.foot level Of the old mine,
is now down about twenty feet.
