cy and general prospects of the country,
will be cheerfully answered in detail by
Mr.. Sides, the geutlemanly and efficient
stage agent at the Virginia office, who
has nothing else to do, but delights in
NIL such exasperating jokes.
0PHIR DRIrTISG WEsT.-The 0phir
Company are getting along swimmiusly
in their mining operations through tho
new shaft. From this excellent shaft
they have opened II station ut the 700.
foot level and have already. progressed
westward over so feet from the shaft,
drifting toward the ledge. The great
Comstock, at this point, appears TO be
divided into two seemingly distinct
lodges, or sections OF the same ledge,
known as the " front" or east y
ledge, and the "back" or "weSt"
ledge. By means of this drift, it is eX-
pected that the front ledge will be cut
in about $50 or 800 feet from the shaft,
and the back ledge in about 100 feet fur
ther. This 700.foot level is 400 feet
deeper than the old Latrobe tunnel,
which passed through the front ledge,
developing a very promising quality and
quantity of low grade ore. When this
new drift cuts it, very gratifying devel-
opments to stockholders may be reason
ably expected. Who knows but what
the Ophir may yet resume her original
position as the leading miuO of the
Comstock?

JAMES SrARE.-The above eminent
tragedian, so well known both in Cali
fornia and this State, made his first APP
pearance last evening ut the Carson
Theater, and was greeted with a crowd
ed house. The play for the occasion
was Shakespeare's sublime tragedy OF
Hamlet" Mr.. Stark pcrsonating Ham
lot, Prince OF Denmark, and Mrs. Stew
art the Queen, lIamlet's mother. The
balance of the characters were well cast
and the play passed of very s~atis:acto-
rily.
ALPHA.-A fine body of high grade
ore, FIVE or six feet wide, is developed
in the Alpha mine Mt the 900-foot level,
next to the east wall. The prospects of
the Alpha arc very encouraging at the
present time. Whether this fine streak
of ore extends through into the Imperial
is a question for future prospecting to
develop. 1t is n very promising iudi-
cation indeed, however, coming IN as 1t
does from the east or hanging wall OF
the ledge.

brass band had n grand rehearsal at the
Theater last evening, which elected the
admiration Of quite n number Of specta-

in their lower tunnel, $50 feet from
