PPsR's OPERA HoUsE.-Being Good
Friday yesterday the attendance was
not quite so large ut the Opera House
in the evening rs it would otherwise
have been, yet the dress circle included
a fair representation of the beauty,
wealth and fashion Of Virginia and
Gold Hill, and the parquette contained
u we'll pleased auditory. The beautiful!
comedy Of the Honeymoon " was pre-
scented, with Miss Ince rs Juliana,
and Mr.. Edwards as the Duke Aranza.
Both sustained their respective roles
excellently, and considering the short
time given for study when q new play is
produced each evening, it passedo off very
lNlTlI. Nhu, buV 'oou .NVhAAhS'
which was given "a the afterpiece, was
not so we'll rendered rs it would per-
haps have been If it had been given ac-
sording to the text instead of from re.
collection, which had to be done owing
to not having tho books for it. Miss
Arnot makes q very pleasing and
laughable Nan. +" Ingomar, the Bar
b~ariau," Il most beautiful, "ttrac-
tive and interesting play, will be pre-
scented tonight, with Miss luce rs Par
thonis, aud Mr.. Edwards as lngomar.
The ladies will all desire to see this
piece tonight. "Nan, the Good for
Nothing" will be given as the after
piece. Reserved seats can be secured
on application at the box office Of the
theatre. Go and see "lngomar.'
QUEER LITTLE MAcuixERY. In the
basement of wiegsnd's Gold Hill assay
Office, yesterday, we took u look At a
queer little quartz mill just contriVed
by Mr.. A. Soldering, one Of the en-
ployes, for the purpose Of testing SMALL
lots Of ore by mill process. 1t Is simply
u little two-stamp mill, made after tho
usual style, each stamp, together with
it's stem, weighing about 20 pounds.
This little battery works in II little frame
and mortar, and is capable of reducing
probably about 200 pounds Of rock a
day. 4 miniature amslgamating pan
Of the Greeley pattern will be added,
making the little mill complete and
ready for practical uss. 1t is a water
mill, the motive power being furnished
by a little oysrshot wheel, three feet
in diameter, placed in II sewer back OF
tho building. 1t is q very ingenious
contrivance, but not more so tina the
apparatus tor distilled water, large
quantities of which are used in every
assay office, and which VAS also con-
trived by Mr.. Soldering. 1t is q self
feeding, self-rosulsting arrangement,
aud like the little quartz mill, is quite u
curiosity. Mr.. Wiegand's establishment
is extremely well arranged throughout
fer carrying on tho business OF melting,
refining, or assaying in the least waste
ful aud most economical manner, accru-
ing to the benefit Of all who have deal
iugs there.
MAxGLRp TANx.-Lyiug in front of
the Imperial-Empire hosting works,
Yesterday, we saw the remains of that
60O-gallon tank, which, by the breaking
Of the cable three or four days ago,
wal allowed to drop with its load Of
water over 500 feet to the bottom o
tho shaft. A similar tank which the
breaking of the cable allowed to drop
about roo feet three or four weeks ago,
did not get out of the guides, but struck
iair and square in the water at the bot
tom of the shaft. In that ase the
tank bottom was smashed in ~ COM
pletely as though i, had struck solid
rock, while the sides were not injured
at all, but in the present instance the
cage got out of the guides, and not only
considerably damaged the timberinS
Of the shaft, but the wood work oil the
tank was completely demolished, so
that naught remains Of it but a tangled
shapeless mass Of heavy iron straps,
bolts and braces. 1t is quite II curl
osity in its line as illustrating the terri
BILE force Of n body falling such II dis
lance, and the demolishing force en-
countered.
LIFE ISsURAScE.-As al instance o.
the benefits Of life insurance, we have
Just learned that DR.. Bryarly, so vel
known TO our citizens, and who dice
. few days since, was insured for $50,
900. This with the dividends vii
moun to about S22, 900. For a por'
ton Of this amount only n single
premium had been paid, aud the oldes'
policy on the Doctors life only datcC
three years ago. Thus this handsome
sum has been realized To the heirs o
our much lamented fellow citizen, for Il
comparatively small annual outlay
The Doctor was insured in the company
represented by Mr.. John Sproston o
Virginia, and as n word TO the wise Il
sufficient, we sincerely advise all those
who are not insured, TO attend tn thu:
most important duty without delay, ant
make application to the Mutual Life
Insurance Company.
THx OLD CoNsrocT.--our friend KEEL
sew, who has just got back from quite AZ
extended stay in the White Piue coun
try, speaks very highly of the riehnes.
of the ore out there, but, like others
has a poor opinion of its extent or per
mspency. On the latter point he say
they have nothing out there, no ever
the famous ssBase Metal Range, which
can begin to compare with the Com
stock ledge. Kelsey has a better opln
ion than ever of the old Couastoek' ate
seeing the big things of White Pine.
