HoRyrowy LIyELy.-Tbe obstreperou

somewhat on the rampage Sunday ni8n''
and several interesting little muses.
were the natural result. 0ne young
lady, who keeps q little bar, was
knocked down by a rampant customer,
who in return was soon afterwsrd shot
at with a revolver in the street by the
gentleman friend of the female afore-
said. and took to his heels with great
Industry toward P~ahranagnt. He is
probably running yet. Some distance
further up street a couple of other fe-
males used violent language toward
each other, resulting in scratched bugles
and damaged waterfalls. Then there
was the jolly fight between the Jew and
Chinaman, Of which we had an item in
Yesterdays News, besides several other
little of q more trifing ma
ture. At the saloon in the old Black
Crook cellar, along toward the next
morning, some %enterprisiug young
chaps, just for a /" lark" sent a pair OF
cast iron car wheels rolling down the
front entrance steps, creating quite a
lively sensation, which directly culmi-
mated in a row. Officers trying to ar
rest the riotiug parties were resisted,
and a pistol wds discharged in the
melee, fortunately without hitting any
body. Horntown is particularly lively
little burg occasionally.
INpEaiAL-EXPIRE.-The Empire drift
at the eOO-foot level from the Imperial
Empire shaft has progressed about 100
feet into the ledge, finding thus far pre-
cious little except hard, barren quartz
and general vein matter. The Imperial
drift a, the same level has penetrated
80 feet, or about half way through the
ledge, with similar success. The side
drift south from the main drift, near the
east wall, following some little seams OF
ore, was discout nued after penetrating
to the extent Of so feet, the indications
not being encouraging. The side drift
north is 20 feet in length, but develops
no increase Of the little seams Of
ore. About the last Of this week or the
first of next, a winze will be started from
the bottom Of the old Imperial shaft, TO
intersect and connect with the Imperial
drift at the west wall Of the ledge. This
winze will be go feet in depth, and it
is anticipated that it will develop some
good ore lying next to the west wall.
When il connects with the lower drift q
fiue circulation of air win be established
throughout, which is very much needed
in those lower regions. From this
winze, it is proposed to run one or two
prospecting drifts in the " hundred
feet Of unprospected ground lying be-
tween the old lower level of he mpe-
rial mine and the present ones from the
lmperiul-E Empire shaft. 1t is proposed
to sink this new shaft 100 feet deeper,
but it is not decided yet how loon this
operation will be commenced.
ZrMxxR, READ THIs.-At the instiga-
ton of more than one Of the Opera
House patrons we would suggest to
thinner, the talented young leader Of
the orchestra, that he introduce a few
more new pieces into his programme Of
evening music, and also endeavor as far
as possible to adapt his music to the
character Of the play. Appropriate
music always adds to the general effect
ofthe piece which is under performance.
For instance, during the rendition Of
such n play as " Lady Audley's Secret"
when the green curtain goes down on
an act in which the finely effective de-
~liueations Of such al actress as Mrs.
Bowers are completely swaying the
hearts aud tenderest passions and feel
ings of the appreciative audience, how
hsrshly inappropriate it seems tor the
orchestra TO break out into n little
squenkirg, jiggiug, di~lapidated old
waltz or polka I It is a descent from
the sublime to the ridiculous almost
equal to wust the dropping Of that great
fnring, terrible advertising curtain
used to be, before it was suppressed,
with its numerous apparent artistical
sins and bad spelling atrocities. Re-
feet, thinner, reflect.
ExcELsroR.-This elevated district in
the summit Of the Sierra, not far from
Cisco aud the line Of the railroad, is
beginning to flourish again as it does
every summer. The snow has melted
of to a considerable extent, so that
several Of the mining companies have
commenced operations again. The
Mohawk l. Montreal Company worked
all last winter, and 10 less than three
weeks will have their mill with its nd
ditiouh new battery Of FIVE stamps
making ten in ~all-pouuaing away on
ore from their valuable mine. The En-
terptise mine is being opened again, and
the %company's mill will be set to work
iu q very short time grinding up the
rich ore. The Grant Company and the
Empire Company are also working, acd
a letter received BY US from Meadow
Lake informs us that the prospects Of
the district are particularly encouraging.
DANGEROUS CABLE.-During the past
few days. since the recent fatal accident
in the Yellow Jacket shaft, where by
the b~reakage of the cable three men
were dropped with the cage to the bot
tom OF the shaft and killed, there have
been two more accidents Of q similar,
but fortunately not fatal, natur /; one
where two strands of the rope were
found to be broken, with six men on the
cage, aud, Sunday morning, the rope
broke, when hosting a car load Of ore,
which, together with the cage, fell to
the bottom Of the shaft. The sooner
wire cable or something safer than the
common rope now in use is substituted,
the better it will be for all concerned.
THE LARGEST LOAD YEr.-A load Of
timber, containing 1921 feet, was yes
terday hauled from the lumber yard Of
Williams l. Caldwell, Washoe City, to
the Belcher mine, q distance Of twelve
miles. 1t was hauled by a team of six-
teen mules, belonging to the Marker
Brothers, and is the largest load of
lumber ever hauled over the Ophir
Grade. On Saturday last they hauled
n load Of lo,540 feet from the same yard
to the Milton mine, on the Divide. Such
extensive hauling as that is not easily
outdone.
OVERLAND STAGES. - The stages Of
Wells, Fargo L Co. on the Overland
route now take their departure regular.
