HTApulS s'Suui hiAnuSSAHSA "NNPNSN =
the Savage mine some FIVE or six months
ago, works in the most perfect manner
imaginable, much more so than the old
STYLE Of wire and bell signal. Insulated
telegraph wires now pass from the sur
face down into all the principal stations
of the mine, and by means of n very
simple form of telegraph instrument at
each requisite point, easily under
stood by anybody, a bell is rung
at the surface, signalling the engineer
the same rs by the former method.
The old style OF bell wire was very
troublesome, as by the constant pulling
and Juggling 1T it in signaling, it
was liable TO become disordered and
often in need Of repairing. The gal
vanic battery used is kept in a closet at
the surface, and is Of the powerful style
known rs the Davis F" battery of forty
cells or cups, only twenty, however,
being found necessary. To keep this
battery running costs II mere insignif-
cant trife, one charge of the sulphates
of copper and zinc lasting three months
without renewal or trouble in any way,
except the addition of a little water
every day or two to compensate for evap-
grafton. This style of telegrsphic sig
mails might be adopted to very good ad-
vantage in all our principal mines.
4 GAZING NUIsIAScE.-We are n dear
lover OF children, but we do like to see
all good things kept in their place, and
at the suggestion OF numerous exasper-
ated individuals desire in the mildest
manner possible, 10 here enter a firm
protest against ladies bringing trouble
some children into the theater or any
such public place of HSSemblage, when
they know full well that the aforesaid
young ones are liable TO make a fuss
and annoy everybody in the house, ac-
tors and all. At Pipers' Opera House
evening before last, during the
play Of Marble Heart" while
in the most pathetic and sentimental
portion Of the piece, a little strong
lunged baby in the audience took a 40
ton to make itself heard, which it did
to such an Objectionable extent that Mr..
Barrett, the actor, was obliged to stop
and request that the child be taken out,
as be found it impossible to proceed
with the play. Another lady with a
little infant in the dress circle was
obliged to leave twice, and the second
time she very properly staid away alto
gether. True, it is hard for ladies to
have to stay away from all such enjoy
ments on account Of their children, yet
that is far better than to disturb and

leave in disgrace with their disorderly
little dears.
A CAVE AT VIRGINIA.-Quite an ex-
tensive ave in the surface workings Of
the Savage mine, at the point near the
line Of B street being worked BY Pat
ten l. Co., occurred early yesterday
morning. A huge body of loose earth
from the surface to n hundred feet
below, settled down with a sudden rush,
filling in all drift and chamber work
pretty effectually. Several workmen
were employed drifting below the mass,
but discerning premonitory symptoms
of a cave they hurried with their tools
out Of the way. They were no. q min
ute too soon about it, however, for as
they ran out Of the drift toward the
shaft TWO or three were knocked down
by the strong current Of air expelled by
the huge mass falling in. Fortunately
no one was hurt, but all were hoisted
out through the shaft, which was unin-
jursd.
SPEcrAcLEs AND EyE-GLAssEs.-Mr.
G. Frankel, the celebrated 0ptician Of
San Francisco, is stopping at the Inter
national Hotel, Virginia City, and will
remain there for a few days for the pur-
pose Of supplying those that require
optical assistance with his celebrated
Russian Pebble Spectacles. Mr.. Frankel
has so adapted practice with theory on
that delicate organ, the eye, that no
matter how critical the case may be, no
one need despair il he leaves the judi
cious selection of those instruments to
him. Mr., Frankel has also a large and
superior selection Of new styles Of opera,
field and marine glasses, microscopes
aud optical instruments of all dcscrip-
tons.
The BALL LAST NieHr.-The Grand
Opening Ball given st the new San
Francisco Restaurant, just below the
NEWS .oeice, was n magnificent affair.
The elegant new Ball room in the Sec
ond story was gorgeously decorated
with flags and pictures, and IN finely
lit up with chandeliers. The Band dis
coursed voluptuous music, the company
of ladies and gentlemen vas quite large,
and the supper was gotten up in the
best style. Mr.. Schaefer, tho proprie-
tor, may we'll feel proud Of this demon
stration Of appreciation Of his new
Hotel.

men in Virginia city have organized a
club to be known as the clone Star

win be ready to play their FIRST game
