OPERA HoUss Nicholson. The
"Black Book" attracted a good house
last night, aud will again tonight. The
piece is a highly amusing and really
m~erisorious burlssque, put upon the
stage in excellent style and full Of start
ling points, exceeding fun and jolly
whimsicali,ies, to say nothing OF a
variety of "shape" from that OF the
most exquisite mould, to the most e1as-
psrating. That ballet is particularly
Jolly, as for the grand variety tableau
at the close, it can hardly be beaten,
unless Piper should draw on the grocery
stores of the neighboring towns. We
would like to see the old melodeon war
horse, Otto Burbank, in that piece,
But, then, be has many friends also
here, who would like to see and well
come him back to his old field Of tri-
umph again. Add Weaver is a very
fine singer, with a rich, well cultivated
voice, besides being a hrst-e!ass end
men and talented general performer.
He is perfectly essential to the success
of the company, and it is difficult to
conceive Of what Piper could do without
him. The bill for tonight embraces a
grand variety of choice entertainment.
Add weaver will give his excellent des.
criptive song of "Tho Ragged Coat
Maggie and Jimmy Moore will do their
double act OF " Pat MeCanu and
well, read the distributed programme.
Go to the Opera House tonight, and
see the "Black Book add all the
other good things, all for four bits.
PERsoyAL.-Our former well known
citizen, S. Lubbock, has got back from
White Pine, aud we had the pleasure OF
a look at his smiling c~ouutenance and a
grasp Of his friendly hand, this morning:
lie Els the locator and main pillar OF
Mammoth City, u place evidently des-
tined to become a town Of some consld-
cradle Importance in that country, from
its favorable location, being on the
slope of Treasure Hill, between Hamil-
ton and Treasure City, and right among
some of the best mines of the District.
Mr.. Lubbock speaks very highly OF the
present and future prospects OF white
Pine, aud after stopping with us awhile
this winter will go back. Mr.. Charles
Bonner, so long known in connection
with the Gould i Curry, Savage, and
other mining developments Of this Sec
ton, Yesterday returned from a visi; to
New York. Comparatively few OF the
old familiar faces which left for waite
Pine and other localities q few months
ago, still remain absent. They all APP
pear pleased to get back amoag their
old sage brush friends and acquaint-
ances again.
FEES TO MEDICAL WIrSEssEs.-For
the information Of members of the med
ical profession, aud others interested, in
Gold Hill and Virginia, and especially
as a case in point occurred in aJustice's
Court Mt Virginia, last week, we pub
lish the following extract from the "a
eise Mediea! and Surgical Journal: AT
a recent trial in the United States Court
at Chicago, according to the Chicago
Medical Journal, Judge Drummond sus-
tanned a witness in refusing to testify as
an expert, without having first received
honorary fees therefor. The Court held
that it was perfectly proper for parties
employing physicians or other experts,
70 paw their fees before they came into
Court. and that such payment was NOR
ally aud legally right, and not to tho
prejudice OF the cause in when they
might be called This opinion should
be remembered by medical witnesses,
who are liable to be taken from their
business and kept for half q day, and
often day after day, hanging about o
Co~urt.room, waiting to be called on to
testify in trials involving property, IN
which they have no special interest"
