ROUGH ON II JAP -luc Mihuuo
japanese troupe, forming a portion of
the peculiar company now playing at
Piper's Opera House, was the first
which ever came to this country. After
playing several months in San Fran
cisco they were taken to the Atlantic
States for exhibition by Marshall,
Burgess & Doyle. They gave entertain
ments in all the principal cities, and
finally went to Canada, where they
were meanly deserted by those who had
them in charge. Strangers among
strangers, in a strange land, and left
destitute Of money, they hardly knew
what course to take, under the circum-
stances, but distrustful OF all aroun
them they at once ~endeavored to make
their way back to this coast, where they
had more friends and were better
treated. They made out to reach New
York, and were kindly given their
passage to San Francisco, by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. They were
eleven in number, and arrived at the
Bay City about I'VE weeks ago, where
they were directly engaged to come
over to Virginia with the "Ha-yah-ta-
kee" troupe aud perform an engagement
ut Piper's Opera House, where they
now are. Whatever opinion these quiet
little Mikado Japs form Of this section
they certainly are liable TO carry home
with them some not very complimentary
or gratifying remembrances Of their
treatment on the other side Of Uncle
Sans domains.
STILL SErrLISG.-The body Of the old
b street cave Of the Chollar-Potosi mine
still continues to settle, and the street
at that point is impossible for heavy
teams. There is q hole at the surface
in front Of the cottage just south OF
Breed & Crosby's stable, some six feet
deep, and thirty feet long by fifteen
wide. The whole body Of the surface
around is badly cracked and settled.
Since the first caving at this point, sew
eral months ago, when Patrick Price
was buried alive by it, the whole body
of loose earth, some sixty or seventy
feet in diameter, has been continually
settling, and the hole thus left at the
surface has been several times filled in
with waste earth and rock from the
dump near by. This continued settling
was occasioned by the old timbers be-
meath decaying and gradually giving
way beneath the pressure from above.
There were but u few sets more oil
these timbers remaining, and these have
probably now given away, allowing the
whole mass TO settle upon the bottom OF
the mine. There can be but little set
thing at the surface, hereafter, in that
place.
INPERIAL.-The winze upward from
the 90O-foot level developes no ore as
yet, although it will doubtless sooner
or later cut the new deposit fouud in
the descending winze from the 7O0-foot
level. The deposit still increases in
width and improves in quality rs it is
being sunk upon. The company have
recently purchased the Plato residence
on the east side Of Main street, between
the old and new shafts OF the mine, and
intend fitting it up in good style rs an
office.
THEIR NANEs.-The following are the
officers elect of the Second Ward Demo-
cratic Club, Virginia, elected for the
ensuing six months: Lloyd Frizell,
President 4; A. F. Mckay, Vice Prcsi-
dent; B. II. Hereford, Secretary ; j. p.

REcovrRIya.-Mr. Gibson, who fell

ated and Jared, is getting along quite
