TuE PAY OF THE JAPANESE TROUPE

Ia order to give our readers some iuea
of what it costs to produce aud support
theatrical novelties we give the follow
ing interesting items furnished at
our request by Mr.. E. ]. Baldwin,
proprietor Of the troupe, in support Of
which he produced the original con
tracts written both in English aud
Japanese. The troupe is a combination
of the Ha-yah-ta-kee and Mi-ka-do
troupes aud goes under the name Of the
first mentioned. Mr.. Baldwin contracted
for the original Ha-yah-ta-kee troupe in
Japan, paying them $500 in Mexican
silver dollars, or one years salary in
advance, and agreeing to pay all ex-
penses of travel, board, ETC., and
finally return them safe to their
Wi country. The Mi-ka-do por-
ton of the troupe he hired in
San Francisco at q salary of 5000 per
month, payable weekly in advance,
agreeing also to pay all travelling and
other expenses and return them to San
Francisco. Besides these salaries. Mr..
Baldwin makes each member Of the
troupe a present Of six dollars per week
merely to encourage them to work and
conduct themselves we'll. Their travel
ing expenses alone amount to IN average
of $50 per day. The regular passage
for them to Japan being $40 each, it is
easy to see that N mouths salary
would considerably more than pay their
passage home 10 their native country
when they shall see fit to 60
there. As We said before, the
original Ha-yah-ta.kee contract stip-
ulstes that u portion Of this company
shall be returned to Japan, passage free.
Thus it will be seen that the "Japs'
are doing well enough in this country,
and are not liable to 60 home very much
poverty stricken. When they got into
that little stage coach difficulty the
other day, at Virginia, aud got fined
SEQ, Mr. Baldwin paid half their fine,
and would have paid the whole Of it,
only that he thought better to let it
cost them II little, thinking it might act
rs a check or preventive of future DIFF
fculties. There are plenty Of men who
work in and about theaters, or who
travel rs portions Of dramatic compa-
MES, that are paid far poorer than the
"Japs" are.
A SouRED ToorER. - Our morning
contemporary, the Horntown Bio~hard,
has become terribly soured over our
Gold Hill volcano. B,orhard came out
ut first in all due gravity with a series
of learned articles on volcanoes gener-
ally, and this one in particular. but as
soon ms it was discovered that this vol
csno was within the jurisdiction oil
Gold Hill, aud no Horntown institution
after all, that peculiar lava Of which
the Blowhard had so freely partaken,
combined with its own narrow minded
jealousy and soured on its stomach
became'a volcanic corruption-we may
say. Alas! poor Biowhdrd, we know
thee we'll; our volcano stiuketh in thy
immaculate nostrils. Bio9hard found a
mares nest we'll stocked with stale
eggs, and the old sucker greedily COB
BLEED the greater part Of them before he
realized what WAS the matter. He
mounts the volcano no more; he has
gone down on the crater.
MISTAKEN ArPLAUsE.-The boys down
at the Pacific mill nave quite a pretty
American flag, (God bless the dear old
bunting y and that flag invariably is
unfurled to the breezes of heaven on all
occasions which call forth n shout for
~patriotism. Charley McWilliams, the
bully boy who has charge Of the Pacific
mill, this morning heard Of the result
of the Union victory in Vermont; and,
accordingly, up went the flag in honor
of the event. 1t had been up perhaps
an hour or so, when along came n lot OF
delegates 10 the Democratic State Con-
y~en,iou now in session in Carson City,
and seeing the flag waving and laugh.

ley, and supposing it to have been
raised in honor of their Copperhead as
sembling at Carson, they cheered lusti'
". with a "tigar" But it was n clear
case Of mistaken identity-and can only
be explained by the fact that the Demo
Gratis had not heard of the result Of the
Vermont election.
The ALpHA.-The GOOD streak of ore
known to exist at the lower level Of the
Alpha mine ct the time operations were
SUSPENDED last year by reason Of toe
much water to contend with, was again
reached Yesterday. 1t is about three
feet in width, and assays $50 to the tor
on the average. The streak widens AS
il is sunk upon, and being on o tho
same level and range with the body o
ore recently found iu the lower level oil
the old Imperial mine, it might easily

who knows? Quite n stream Of water Is
tapped and flowing into the mine from
the west wall, but there is not enough

bailed out.
THE wEArHER!-There were strong indi'
cations Of rain in this vicinity last evening,
but not a drop fell here. To the eastward
there was a light shower and a fragment o
rainbow, but here we had nothing but a gall
of wind.-Enterprise of this morning.
The above reminds Us OF Deacon Per
kin,' account Of old Sllbwosth's dying
speech: He called his dear wife an'
his beloved children to his bedside, 70
he had a heap to tell EN-, my brother

stretched out his hands, and he smut
led his nose. and he opened his mouth
and he raised up his voice. and he put

he speak, my brothering. It all ende
