H EVENING NEWS.
Thursday Rvcnins,.....Mareh 10, 1sSS

audience was present at the opera mouse
last evening to see the third presen-
tation of the wonderfully interesting
and peculiar comedy, "Sam." All the
actors performed their parts as we'll as
they did on the two previous evenings,
improving somewhat in many points.
The, play itself is possessed Of much
dramatic merit, although it requires
close observation TO get the run Of the
plot and fully understand it from the com
meucement. The three most pointed
characters in the play are those person
a,ed by Wheatleigb, Burbank and Miss
Fanny Hanks, each calling forth re-
peated applause. As a smooth, finished,
ren,lemanly actor, Wheatleigh has few
equals. He is perfectly easy and nat
ural in whatever he assumes. SAT- v
will be repeated to night for the last
time, and tomorrow evening the great
drama of "Arrah.na-Pogue' will be pro-
duced, with u strong cast OF characters,
wheatleigh appearing rs Shaun, the

They were overtaken some so
miles out on the Overland road, in the
willows beyond Saltwater station, where
thew had eucamped. The rogues were
taken by surprise and captured without
difficulty. They were brought back to
Virginia yesterday and safely lodged in
jail. They are two young men well
known in Virginia, and are named John
Lynch and Austin Smith-neither more
than twenty years Of age. They say
that they wanted to go to Sweetwater;
had no other means Of getting there,
and 80 stole the horses, saddles, brides,
etc, and started. They are very liable
to end Sweetwater at the Warm Springs
near Carson, and free residence in the
big stone house nj that point, belong
ing to the State.
IMPROVEMENT ~ FIRE ALARN.-When-
over an alarm of file is sounded here in
Gold Hill, it is generally done by means
of the steam whistles attached to the
various mills and mining works. The
blowing of these whistles, however, is
so common that unleSs it Is done AT
some very unusual time, and the sound
continued longer than ordinarily, no
alarm can be communicated by them.
In view ofthis circumstance, Mr.. Gibson,
Chief Engineer Of the Gold Hill Fire
Department has issued n published inv
tatiou-which will be seen in another
column of this papcr-to mining and
mill Superintendent in and about Gold
Hill. also the Foremen and Assistants OF
each Fire Company, requesting them to
assemble n. the house of Liberty Hose
Company. No. l, next Saturday at eight
o'clock A. n. The object Of this meet
ing is to establish, il possible, a regu-
lar uniform signal, to be given by the
engineers through the whistles in case
of alarms for fires. As the Fire Depart
ment can be made much more efficient
by this means. A full and puuctual at
tendance is desired.
Crown PoISr MINE.-It is beyond
doubt that the late explorations and
findings in this old mine, indicated new
and prosperous era for Gold Hill. The
winzo from the S00-foot level is down

for mining. This is in the East ledge
or body Of ore, and will be NJ. incentive
for ali other companies to SO for the
same, This mine has now a body two
hundred feet in perpendicular depth OF
fne milling ore, and will ere long be
enrolled in the dividend paying mines
again, The value of this finding is be-
yond computation to the interests OF all
the mines i'll that vicinity, and confirms
the declared opinions of Richthofen n
others three years ago. We shall De
glad to publish anything official Capt.
TAYLOR will furnish us, as this informa-
ton is outside of the Office, yet from re-
liable sources, so far rs we can Judge.
The IMPERIAL EMPIRE. The drift
West from the 9O0-foot level Of the I'm

menced, and is progressing well. A fine,
large roomy gangway is hrst TO be
opened to the length Of some forty feet
from the shaft, narrowing gradually In
10 this drift, of which it forms a part.
In order to leave plenty Of room for
future dumping, the waste rock now
being taken out is sent on small cars 20

distance, and then dumped. This car
in turn is hauled by a horse TO a point
near Fort Homestead, where there Is
plenty of room, and dumped.
