THE EVENING NEWS.
p,ryp's OpxRA Hovsw.-The Howsons

Prrxs's Or&RA HoUsE,-The Howsons
were favored with another deusely
crowded house on Saturday evening.
The W. pieces produced were "Tromb-
a~l-ca.zar" and "Aladdin, or the Won
derfui Scamp" Both are very excel.
lent aud highly laughable pieces, and
kept the audience in II merry laughing
mood all the time. The first was per-
formed in capital style, but the last was
spoiled by oue Of the minor actors not
knowing his part, causing the voice OF
the prompter TO he most painfully ap
parent to all in the house. He WAS not
one Of the regular Uowson troupe, but
merely introduced &c ~personatc the
Slave of the Lamp. He viii! have to do
better than that. With the exception OF
his sad laundering, the piece passed oil
admirably. The grand festive terpsi-
chorean tiaale to this play was very spir-
tied and refreshing, and all wanted
to see q little more oft. We must confess
to being II little mistaken in speaking of
Miss Clara Lewis II day or two since as
being no singer. Ga the contrary, At
though making no great pretensions,
she sings very well, and strives hard and
successfully to improve both in singing
and acting. She joined the troupe at
Carson and does remarkably well, con-
sidering her extremely short experience
on the stage. Last evening, "After the
Masque," aud "Pierette," with an in.
terlude of pleasing vocal duets, solos,
II sNp,, ,rarn prncRptpI IN "A
very good audience. Tonight q SPLEEN
did bill Is offered, commencing with "A
Kiss in the Dark, or lndelible Marking
Ink" i~userludcd with numerous musical
gems. The entertainment will conclude
with the great operate extravaganza OF
Aladdin" The costumes Of the Miss
es Howson, in this piece, are OF the rich
est style OF oriental magniicence, very
costly, tasteful, and worth paying II dol
lar to see. The OtEer costumes are OF
the same Celestial style and tally well
with the gorgeous character of the piece.
Go and see it tonight. Wednesday
evening concludes the engagement OF
the Howsons. Improve the opportunity.
SINKING DEEpER.-The Imperial and
Empire Companies arc now sinking
their new shaft deeper. The stump Is
cleaned out and the shaft and other
arrangements put in order Tor the pur-
pose. The shaft rs l,lOI feet deep, and
the bottom OF il is just cutting the east
clay wall OF the old COmStock. As The
known dip or inclination of the ledge

dicular sinking in order to reach the
west wall. Within that distance some
good bodies Of ore must certainly be
encountered, and most probably that
demonstrated TO exist ut the lower
levels Of the Yellow Jacket, which
trends in that direction. At the 1000
and the 1850 generally deSiGnrted rs
l,lOOl foot levels from this shaft the
ledge has been pretty thoroughly tx
plored between the east and west walls,
and nothing found more encouraging
than barren quartz and ~porphyry,
therefore it was about high lime

struck. 1t is the best move they have
made for months, and the only regret is
that they did not do it sooner. As an
evidence of the public approval Of this
new operation, il will be seen that the
stock is rising rapidly. II will continue
to rise just in proportion rs the shaft
goes down.
BITTEN ~ A DoG.-Mrs. Bean, while
passing along Summit street, Virginia,
near the Hale 4 Norcross old works last
Friday afternoon, was suddenly as
saul,ed by n largo and vicious dog,
which sprang upon her without any
p]rovocation whatever. lie caught her
right arm in his jaws, and lacerated 1t
very severely below the Elbow. She
managed TO get away from him, and her
husband soon afterward went and very
properly shot the savage brute. DR..
Underhill being sent for came ana
dressed the wounded limb, using mcdi-
cal applications to quiet the intense
main aud countcract the virus OF the
bite. The arm il getting along very
well At present. No one has amy right
to W such II dangerous dog unless 1t
is kept properly chained or shut up. II
not, the city authorities should have 1t
killed il no one else will do it.
Coon EATING PLAcE.-As will be seen
by advertisement in another column,
under the head Of " New to day" John
Maxwell, so long and favorably known
ms the cook ut the Bank Exchange, Gold
Hill, is running II first class restaurant
out in Treasure City, White Pine. It's
the beet restaurant in the place, and
gentlemen from Gold Hill or Virginia
may be sure that at the Orleans Res,au-
rant, Main street, they will find all the
~substantials and luxuries Of the season,
in the shape of choice food properly
cooked. John Maxwell cannot well be
surpassed in his line, rs all Gold Killers
who are posted fully know, and q meal
prepared by John always sits well on the
stomach. His rates are reasonable, and
he invites inspection.
MAY FLowERs.-The flowers o
May" as Walter Bray used to say in
his comic way, are beginning to bloom
on the hills:des, not very plentifuliy
however as yet. Some of them are
quite pretty, but more of them are not
particularly so. We long to see our old
iavorites. those big yellow ones about
the sine Of ]spittoons. The buds arc
now about the size Of n potato aud VIII
blossom out shortly. The sage brush
is all robed in fresh delightful green,
and smells lovely.
FoRr HOMESTEAD GRADING.-A largo
force Of railroad hands commenced on
Saturday grading a wagon o along
the ~sou,herly side of the Fort Homestead
hill, and are hard at it to-day. The
