sTRELs.-Another excellent audience
greeted the California Minstrels ut the
Opera House last evening, on the ocea-
sion Of their second appearance before a
Washoe audience. All lovers Of true
music will agree with us in pronouncing
their songs, choruses, and instrumental
performance in the first part, as OF the
highest order Of merit. The duet OF
Norman and Bamford last evening was
as fine as we ever listened to from NOR
tai lips, aud apparently impossible 10
excel. The delightful blending Of those
two rich, musical voices, Joined by the
grand finely modulated chorus, both vo-
cal and instrumental, formed n rich
combination Of pure harmony, which
still fingers in u ears as we write. 1t
is in this point that the true talent Of
this company is exhibited, aud a fasci-
mating, refined, and humanizing indu-
ence exercised ever attractive to the
souls of a critical and apprecintive au-
dieuce when oil things else fail. The
programme last evening was generally
q repetition Of that Of the evening pre-
vious. The double clog dancing Of
Sands and Ashcroft is the best ever
seen this side of the Sierra Nevada, and
as for Goes, he is too we'll known as
chief in the banjo solo aud song line for
any special comment Of ours. One OF
the principal features Of the evening is
the operatic scena of Bamford. Such a
prima donna never before was seen, nei-
Their in the heavens above nor on the
earth below. To see Bamford in that
one character alone is worth double the
price of admission. 1t will be observed
that in our notices we make critical
mention only of the true talent devel-
oped, leaving all else of the entertain
meut to the unbiased judgment Of tho
audience. Tonight there will be q va
ration in the programme, and we pre-
sumo there will be another excellent
and well deserved audience.
THE GRAND JURY ON MINING AccI-
pEyrs.-The following extract from the
report of the Grand Jury is very sug-
g~estive, aud recommends itself to the
special attention Of all Superintendent
and mine owr ers throughout his sec
| ton /: "The attention of the jury has
been called by Coroner Gartrell to tho
MANY sad and lamentable accidents oe-
curing in the mines Of this county, by
which fifty human lives have been lost
within the past year. While we do not
feel it within our duty to take any pos
tive action in the matter, We most re-
specially recommend that all Superin-
tendeuts Of mines meet or otherwise
confer with each other upon the subject
Of adopting the greatest precaution and
surest safeguard against accidents.
This we feel we can ask in the name OF
humanity" We hope to hear OF some
legislative enactment compelling the
exclusive use Of safety cages, and the
adoption of all other known safety ar
rangements by our mining companies
generally. Human life should no longer
be weighed against such things. Read
our item about Mr.. Leermo's new mining
shaft safety attachment in another
column.
OUTSIDE BuLLIoN.-At the office OF
Bous6eld L Co., Virginia, there was re-
ceived yesterday for melting and assay,
1000 ounces Of crude bullion, the result
of q crushing of 20 tons Of ore from the
Little Giant mine, Battle Mountain Dis
trict, Humboldt county. The Little
Gian. mine, owned by Robert McBeth
and George W. Fox, is yielding beyond
all expectation, aud is situated only
abont FIVE miles from the line of the
railroad. The ore is taken from the
groupings above the surface Of the
ground, and several hundred tons Of the
same kind Of ore can be had by blasting
it down.
GET Your LIFE INSURED. - The i'm
meuse benefits Of life insurance have
become so very manifest that everybody
is getting insured. The best company
to get insured in is the New England
Mutual, the oldest established and best
of them all. Read their advertisement
under head Of "New To day." ponder
over it, be wise-get insured at once.
II was in this company that Walter
Williams, who was shot By "Russian
Pete" last Sunday, had $40, 900 insured
on his life.
LEG ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dyer, who
had his right leg so badly injured about
a month ago, in Birdsall's mill, Dayton,
that DR.. Bryarly amputated it above the
knee, was brought up to the Hospital
ST. Vincent De Paul, Virginia, last
evening. For some reason or other the
stump did not do we'll, and DR.. Bryarly
considered it necessary to amputate it a
secoud time. His condition is n very
critical one, and he might not survive
the contemplated operation.
