PIPER s OPERA HOUSE" GRiMALDl'
Last evening the talented actor, Mr..
Charles Whsatleigh, made his last ap.
pearance at the Opera House for the
present. "Grimaldi was the play
enacted, and it certainly gave complete
satisfaction in every respect. Willie
Edouin's Whopshott is a most inimita-
BILE piece Of acting, comicnl aud etfec-
tive in the extreme. Willie had no
partner skirmishing round on the out
side ready to * chip in ut the proper
time, like the l%ong-eared Teller he had
the other night, but the piece passed off
gloriously, without any such assinine
assistance. Thus ends the Wheatleigh
season. Tonight, Collins, the famous
Irish Comedian, makes his first appear
auce, and the play selected for the &C.
casion is Rory O'More." Mr.. Col.
Inns reputation as n an actor is Of the
highest order. and he will be well sus-
tanned. Go and see him tonight.
SIERRA NEvApA.-The irrepressibls
and energetic Superintendent of the
Sierra Nevada mine, Uncle Bob Apple,
has at last succeeded in making that
well-known and long established mine
a self.sustaining institution. The new
mill he has recently erected in the
hosting works of the mine, and con
nected Herewith, works admirably, re-
ducing the ore from the mill at q cost Of
only So per ton and even less. The ore
is Of q very low average grade, rs the
entire body Of the ledge ut the surface
is worked without selection. No pans
are used, but only copper-plates and
sluices as the ore Is worked only for tho
free gold contained, there being but a
small proportion OF silver in the SUR
face ore. Great economy of driving
machinery, and fuel-only three and II
half cords Of wood being used per day
for both the hosting works and mill
and very superior facilities in the way
Of extracting the ore and dumping it
directly ut the batteries is the secret OF
this unprecedently cheap cost Of work
ing the ore, and thus it is that the
gold extracted from the mine pays all
expenses Of the Company. If the ore
was q little richer there would o be
q surplus to disburse by way Of divi-
dends to stockholders. 1t is pretty
good, however, to have the Sierra Ne
yada mine q sclf.sustaining institution
now, something it certainly never was
before. Dividends from it would be
something so unnatural that it would
doubtless make stockholders sick. All
Joking aside, however, we should not
wonder at all to hear of Uncle Bob
even making II desperate effort at n
dividend one of these days.
PACksuER's DoISGs.-At the lnterna-
tional cigar stand, Virginia, Packsher
has caused to be erected the neatest
case or cabinet, with q glass front, to
keep his choice tobacco, cigars, and
other delicacies in, that We ever saw.
It is zinc lined and mir tight, and
therefore everything put inside is kept
moist and fresh MS II rose. Pncksher
exhibits it free Of charge to all DESTROYS
| of viewing this fine piece of furniture.
He has just received n splendid lot of
genuine Havana cigars, freshly i'm.
ported, besides other good things, q
portion Of which can be found Mt his
Bank Exchange cigar stand, Gold Hill.
CouLpX'r STAND Ir.-A sick chap left
the Hospital St. Vincent De Paul, at
Virginia, a day or two ago, after being
there only o few hours, giving rs his
reason for doing so, that all Of the other
patients had only n leg, and he didn't
mean to be served the same way if he
could help it. He saw Dyer, Tommy
West and Jesus Rojas, each with one
leg cut Off pretty high up above the
knee, and il was too much for his poor
nerves, so he left. He was evidently
not cognizant of the fact that those
~cripples were the victims of outside
doctors, and were at the Hospital to
have their uggly surgery jobs fixed
up if possible.
READ THIs Lille l. Co., the we'll
known booksellers, stationers and fancy
goods dealers, C street, Virginia, a few
doors south Of the Bank Of California,

to their already large and well selected

wool, children's carriages, and all that
sort Of thing, which they are DESTROYS
of selling at wholesale and retail on the
most reasonable cash terms. See adj
ver,isement and give them n call.
USDsRaouND ESGINE-The proprietors
Of the Twin mine, Silver City, just be-
low the DEVILS Gate, have just placed
q neat little donkey engine in their tun-
mel, about leo feet from the mouth, in
order to work their pump in the shaft
at that point. This will reduce expen-
ses somewhat, as il has been costing
them SIS per day lately, pumping the
water out by hand. Some very good
ore is being produced from the Twin
mine ut present.
WHERE Is IT?- Becker's Billiard
Saloon is at Silver City. He has re-
Gently re opened his splendid saloon in
