Az APrREctArIvE RsADER.-The fol-
lowing is an extract from u letter re-
ccatly received by a gentleman, resi-
den: Of this town, from q lady friend OF
his in Harrisville, Michigan. She evil
dently is a thorough, observant reader
of a newspaper, and therefore has a
much more definite aud appreciatiye
idea of this section than ninety-nine In
II hundred of Eastern people have who
were never this side of the Rocky Noun
tsins. She writes sensibly. dear

Just by reading those advertisements-
ind I read them all. Gold Hill is a
liriag ,osca, and yet it isn't ten years
old, is it? Reading the local daily

nothing like a daily paper, even it per-

By the way, Jim, just step into a

ANOTHER TERRIBLE MINING ACCIDENT.
About half past one o'clock last night.
P. P. Kaylor, a miner working in the
old Chollar groupings, accidentally fell
down - shute, head foremost, to the dis,
,aucc of fly feet. He was taken gu,
AT the bottom, ~insensible, and romo we'd
TO the Chollar-Potosi boarding house
DR.. McMeans being called, on. examina-
ton found the frontal portion OF the
skull badly fractured and stove in there
were no other injuries Of any eonse-
ouence about the body. The unfortu-
nate man had remained in a state Of in
seusibtiity up TO noon to-day, merely
utteriug the exclamation OF ! God,
or something Similar occasionally, ou'
showing no sign Of intelligence. DR..
McMeans, assisted by DR.. Cleburns, per-
formed the operation Of trepanning the
skull this morning, removing several
pieces of the broken bone, but the
chances for his life are extremely small.
He is a single nan, some thirty-tnre
years of age, and II native OF Richmond,
Virginia. These fearfully fatal mining
accidents are becoming too alarmingly
frequent, yet IL seems that u miners
cannot or will not be more carefully on
their guard against them.
PIPxa's OPERA HousE.-The rainy
weather Of las, evening had a very man
ifest effect in diminishing the size Of the
audience which would otherwise have
been in attendance at the Opera House.
"The Willow Copse" was the sterling
play presented, and certainly no fault
could be found with its enactment. II
was fully as well played as though the
house were crowded instead Of being
only about half full. Perhaps, how
ever, as the Willow Copse" has been
presented several times already, that
people really desired to see something
new, and, therefore, saved all theii
money for tonight, when the grand ben
eft to the Virginia Fire Department
takes place. The fsvorite play OF Tit
Chimney Corner Mr.. Couldock's oe''
piece, will be presented with a strong
cast Of characters, followed by o great
variety of song, dance, queer delinea'
tons and general fun. Recollect that
the receipts this aereniug will all be de-
voted to the purchase Of requisite hose
for the use Of the Fire Department, ar
article very much needed. Buy q ticket
everybody, and crowd the house.
