CHANGE OF SUPERINTENDENT. VI.
Mcdonald has been appointed by the
Trustees of the Sierra Nevada Mining
Company as Superintendent of their
mine and mill, in place of T. F. Smith,
resigned. We are sorry to see this
change, and think the company has
missed it in % by all means securing,
if possible, the efficient services OF Mr..
Smith for q year or two longer At leass.
When he took the position Of Superin-
tendeut about q year ago, the Sierra
Nevada mine had fallen into sad disre-
pute, and was, AS it always had been, a
poor, miserable, assessment exacting
concern. Smith, however, at once in
augurated a new order Of things, aud
directly caused for the Irst time an era
of prosperity TO dawn over the prospects
of stockholders. Bringing his mining
knowledge TO bear in the matter, be
soon got on track of good ore, worked
it. and came out ahead Of expenses from
the very start. He caused an assess
ment already levied to be rescined, and
in place OF il he was rot long in declar-
ing a dividend, which, by judicious
economy and true mining skill he has
followed up monthly, giving the mine
a good, substantial reputation, which it
never had before. He has got it in first
rate working condition. and developed
very extensive and valuable DEPOSITS of
ore never before dreamed to exist. The
Trustees Of the Company, however, we
presume, think they k"nH their
business best-they ought 70, if they
don't. What mine will Smith brirg
out next?
OPERA House. MELooEoY-TaE TROUPE
RETURNED Fun To.SIGsT. - Piper's
famous Opera House Troupe returned
from thei, very successful trip to Car
son, yesterday, and appeared again on
the stage last evening. The house was
crowded, aud everything passed oil

ervbody. They will remain for but a
very short season louger-only three
mig H:s-when they leave for San Fran
cisco, and The thsster closes. Tonight
they give n capital programme of good
things, a perfect feast Of fun, such rs is
not often seen anywhere. Songs, dances,
ballads, solos, aoI all that sort OF thing,
will be civ.7 in liberal profusion. n"0
all who at..uG vii. get the worth o.
their money half Il dozen times over, to
say no;tirg e -, cno'co lager, cigars
and other ~retreshIAer:s, besides a chan's

PEDESTRIAN ARTISTS. Yesterday
Piper's Opera House troupe returned
from their visit to Carson. Two MEM
bers of it, however, Otto Burbank
and Jimmy Moore, thought they would
vail instead Of riding on the con-
struct;on train, so they struck out aud
footed itthrough by way Of Silver City
md Gold Hill TO Virginia-distance 10
m;,eS-in three and q half hours. That
would not be considered bad time for
even Weston, Kennoyan or any other Of
tie great pedestrians TO make. Jimmy
Is not SO well muscled as Otto, but IT 10
good muscle, what there is OF 1t. he
1lsved base ball afterwards udtil even
ing. aud neither he nor Otto seemed in
the least stIdened about the legs wden
thew appeared rs usual on the Opera
House stage in the I" Walk Around
Three hours and a half from Carson TO
Virginia is pretty fair railroad time just
ut present.
