SILVER CRY IscrpxSrs.-Lack OF time

SILVER CRY IScIDESrs.-Lack OF time
and space yesterday prevented our
making special mention OF many descrv-
ing incidents Of the great Silver City
Union torchlight demonstration Of night
before last. The peculiar feature of the
illuminatiye decorations seemed to be
the p~rofusion Of Chinese colored-paper
lanterns everywhere displayed. The
cottage residence of K. T. Mullard, Esq,
at the lower end Of Silver City, was
very taStily decorated with nearly or
quite two hundred Of these pretty Ian
terms, besides the window i~lluminations.
The cottages Of DR.. Bunchcr, J. X.
Barney, Jas. McGinnis, and Mr.. McLaue,
all situated on the hillSides prominent
above the town. were also similarly
decorated with lanterns and presented
u very beautiful appearance. Trench's
mill also had beautifully illuminated
windows, and n row of lanterns entirely
across the front. During the evening
the Glec Club paid Mr.. Mullard's resi-
dence the compliment of n %serenadc,
and he on his part treated them to Il
fine supper at the Silver House. The
Gold Hill Band, although but
newly organized. and playing with
some of their members for the
first time on this occasion, nc
quilted themselves to the admiration of
all good judges of music present. We
could not well make u speciality in no.
ticing the particular decorations Of the
saloons, stores, etc, along the main
street, where all were decorated aud
Illuminated so nearly alike. At the
coming final grand Union celebration ut
Virginia and Gold Hill, II very good pat
tern may be taken from Silver City in
this respect. Every truly loyal man will
be expected to show his hand in some
way on that occasion. The Grant Glee
Club was q great fIvorite at Silver
City, and the ringing, lively campaign
songs, so excellcntly rendered, were
very much %applauded, and Mt various
hospitable saloons and hotels on their
way home they were made to stop and
take some liquid refreshment. On their
arrival ut Virginia they were in like
manner Hospitality treated by the
gentlcmanly proprictors Of Cunning
ham 4 Days, and Perry i IT.
wins saloons. We had almost
forgotten to mention that the Gold Hill
quartz mill was also among those illu-
minated {; and when the Club was pass
ing the Sunderland mill, On the return
: home, it was the only one still remain
ing illuminated the patriotic engineer
also blew his whistle while they were
passing, and they returned the conpli-
ment with u song. That Sunderland
mill is not II pretty institution, but it is
n sound one in moro respects than one.
Among the most noticeable features Of
the Virginia portion Of the procession
was the neat little wagon of Gillig,
Mott 4 Co. filled with attaches Of the
establishment. They bore n very neat
transparency, on the sides Of which
were tho portraits OF Grant 4 Colfax,
and the torches they carried were large
triple burners, the best in the pro-
cessiun. Those carried by the Glce
Club were of the same pattern, being
donated to them by Gillig, Mott 4 Co.
The general tone of everything connect
cd with the meeting Mt Silver City WAS
very harmonious, and no fighting or
other disagrecable incidents occurred.
No more thoroughly loyal town than
Silver City exists on the Pacific Coast
in fact the political status of that place
and Dayton is pretty well indicated by

THg COMING OPERArIc SEAsoS.-The
operatic season which commences Mt
Piper's Opera House next Monday
evening, under the auspices Of
the famed Queen Of Song, P"repa-
Rosa. aud her talented musical sup
purters and accompanies, will doubt
less be by far the finest, most recherche
aud fashionable entertainment ever
given under the roof Of that tavoritc
temple Of the muses.. For three nights
the dress circle will be gay and beautiful
with the rich and varied colors of ladies'
dress and a~dornments, bright eyes and
flashing jewels. The %parquette, too,
will present q similar festive appearance,
for the eligible seats in the front por-
ton are being reserved and secured by
those who failed to get dress circle
seats. Those who cannot afford to in
yes, over q dollar in this opera can be
also accommodated with excellent and
satisfactory seats. Thus it will be seen
that the highest toncd-and highest
priced-musical treat ever given this
side of the Sierra is placed within the
reach Of all.
YELLow JACKET SouXD.-The rich
body of ore recently developed at the
slO-foot level of the Yellow Jacket mine
evidently improves on acquaintance. 1t
is five feet wide, and Of unknown
length, hight or depth. 1t is by FAR too
rich for working by common mill pro-
cess, therefore it is all being shipped to
Dall's mill, Washoe Valley, for treat
mont. The huge chunk of rich ore ut
pete F~erruson's Gold Hill Exchange, in
the class case on the end OF the counter,
is from that rich streak. 1t assays
s.. G IA to the ton, and the little
bright button Of bullion produced by
the assay is stuck on n card beside it.
The ore is so rich in pure metal thai a
hammer makes a dent in it, being more
of a tough than brittle charaeter'
There is no ore yet produced ut "nite
Pine that can compare in average rich
ness with this rich Yellow Jacket ore.

at Armory Hall, Virginia, from October
