A LARGE WATER TASx.-The town
authorities are constructing a very
large timber and plank water tank, on
the Bowers grade, north side OF Crown
Point Rayine, near the railroad trestls
bridge. We went out to see it yesterday
afternoon, and found a most substantial
structure-heavy timbers, thoroughly
fitted, brseed and spiked together, aud
constructed in the most durable style.
I. is calculated 10 hold AZ, 600 gallons
of water, and it will be highly service
able IN case OF FIRE ia Crown Point
street, on the Bowers or American Flat
grades, or in any of the hosting works
of the mines or mills in the neighbour
hood-such as tho Kentuek, the Crown
Poin. or the Yellow Jacket. It will
also be a great protection to the railroad
tres,ls bridge. Iron pipes leading from
the water tank to fre-plugs will convey
the water to convenient points for SER
vice. II is the intention, we believe, to
have plenty Of hose stored near the hre-
plugs, independent Of our hose car
riages. This excellent project for the
protection Of a large quantity OF very
valuable property against ire was con-
ceived BY our Town Trustees, who APP
pointed Mr.. Mcclellan, the Committee
ON Fire and Water, and Chief Engineer
Gibson to su%perintend the construction
OF the work aud right well have
they attended to the business. The
cost of this immense water-tank will be
about So, 900: and We are informed that
the Keutuck, the Crown Point and the
Yellow Jacket have volunteered to pay
one-third the cost, and Mr.. Sharon, Ia
behalf of the Railroad Company, will
psy another third-so that the town
corporation will have to pay only an-
other third. We know Of no project In
town IN which the same amount Of cash
could have been more usefully or judi
ciously expended. Our Town Clerk,
W. II. Doane, who, by the way, is q
frst-rate mechanic, is experimenting
the building Of this wa.er-tank.
OPERA House MISUNDERSTANDING
standing the stringency Mt present in
the private finances Of our theatre
goers, induced by the mining companies
not paying of until the 18th, the Opera
House i, well filled every night, the
present company attracting better audi
ence, thus far than any which hns pre-
coded il on that stage during tie last
two years. They certainly do give a
lengthy and extraordinary good per-
formance, so that everybody gets his
money's worth aud more too. Ihe
double Ethiopian character dance, by
the two Pixley Sisters, last evening
was particularly good, aud Maggie
Noore's "Topsey" song and dance, the
hest we ever Jaw. George Goes sang
Little Maud" too, in a style not easily
eousled. Mr.. Goes possesses a rich,
well cultivated voice and sings with ex-
eellent taste, every word being clearly
and distinctly spoken, and understood
by the entire audience, n merit possessed
by but few, even among the most noted
singers. Everybody likes to hear George
Goes sing. An entirely new bill is given
for tonight, concluding with o snort
iugly funny ~afterpiece, entitled Freed
msu's Bureau" Any person paying
four bits can see toe entire show.
