which we speak. A person may now
see views Of the interior Of our mines
without taking tho arduous trouble to
90 into them. The Superintendent al.
the Imperial or the yellow Jacket, may
now sit comfortably in bis office, and
whenever q new development in the
mine il reported to him by the under
ground foreman, all he has to do, Is TO
order n Photograph of the spot taken,
and be guided accordingly. In fact
could the telegraph only be so improved
MS TO transmit these pictures readily,
the Superintendent might reside in San
Francisco or New York if he chose, and
thu, one giant mind might even run the
whole Comstoek ledge. We give the
idea for what il is worth. II it is not
practicable, it is, like the magnesium
light, exceedingly luminous. These
truly wonderful pictures can be seen ut
Sutteriey's, by all who wish, free OF cost,

views OF points Of interest in tho pro-
gress Of the great Continental railroad,

PIERS OrERA ,HousE.-The fine little
domestic drama OF "Dorn" was pre-
seuted at the Opera House again last
evening, and IA rendered in the same
very satisfactory n as on the pre-
vious evening. In both this piece and
that which followed it-"Ntcholas Nick
lsby'--there are many admirable points,
which all received their due appreeia-
ton and applause from the entire audi
ence. 4 succession OF new and highly
interesting pieces will now follow each
other in quick succession, commencing
with tonight, when something partieu-
larly choice in that respect will be given.
All who are fond Of a really pleasing
and m~eritorious theatrical entertain
ment, devoid Of the terrible sensational
blood and thunder arrangements used
10 render effective what were otherwise
insipid plays, should not fail to visit the
Opera House every evening during the
engagement Of the Webb sisters, which
continues only a few evenings longer.
Ox THE WAR PArH.-The people OF
Long Valley and the vicinity of where
the PierSon family was massacrsd by the
Indians las. Friday, are now in arms
and preparing to iufiet summary ven
geance on the tawny-skinned sayagss.
4 quantity Of powder and other amuhi-
ton was shipped out to them from Viz
GINA yesterday by the Honey Lake
stage. Red Rock ranch, where the
butchery vas consummnted, IS about
City miles from here, and east OF Long
Valley. The Indians attacked the un-
suspecting family in broad daylight,
taking them completely BY surprises
They killed the proprietor of the place,
W. II. Pierson, his wife, their daughter
Hattie tagged about III, John Susher-
land, and another man whose name Is
o ascertained. The bodies were con-
siderably mutilated. A boy about Is
years Of age effected his escape, although
followed SOME nine miles BY the red
devils. May they catch their just de-
serts.
LARGE FusERAL.-The funeral Of the
late l.. S. Bowers took place this after

DiscRmlsArIvz.-Tho other day we
were taking a square inspection of'those
beautiful ehromo-lithographic pictures
a, Lilies book store, @ street, Virginia,
admiring the rich, delicate eoloring,
beautiful design and-execdhon, in gen
ersl effect and lone exeelling in many
points even fine oil paintings which
they so closely resemble. A friend OF
