Tho aIine.-Tbipss All Wrong Again

saC ~ Nh1 thNdybt Nhah NbV "a was
completely ~extiuguished, although con-
siderable gaseous smoke still continued
to issue from the Crown Point shaft.
Yesterday afternoon 20 or 80 car loads
Of ore were hoisted from the 500 and
900-foot levels of the Crown Point
mine, and the prospect was that full
mining operations would ut once be
proceeded with, but an increase Of
smoke was noticeable towards dark,
and by 10 o'clock in the evening it had
become so bad in the upper levels
that all hands were taken out of both
the Crown Point and Kentuck mines.
This morning it was concluded to try 1t
again. as the smoke seemed no worse,
but the men had not been down long be-
fore there was such an evident increase
Of smoke that all the miners were driven
out, aud even those in the Yellow Jacket
mine taken out az q matter Of precaution
against possible danger, although the air
seemed no worse there, owing TO all the
passages communicating between that
aud the other mines being carefully
closed. The smoke aud gas decreasing
about IL A. n. to-day, both the
Crown Point and Kentuck shafts were
closed, and steam will probably be sent
down to ~eItinguish the fire II possible.
It 10 burning between the 700 and co.,
foot levels. Only a few men are work
ing in tho Yellow Jacket to-day, but II
no Ere or smoke appears, a full force
will be put on again tomorrow.
THr LAST SPIKE DRIvEy..-Banuer
Brothers, at Virginia, to-day, uufurl
their broad flag to the breeze in our ad-
vertising columns, and the last spike is
now driven which nails it permanently
to the mast. They hurl proud defiance
in the face, Of all the great clothing
dealers combination, who so auda-
ciously presumed to oppose them and
sought so persisently to run them out
Of the country. "That little thing
couldn't be did" On Saturday last
they removed their entire stock Of
clothing, gents furnishing goods, boots,
shoes, hats, trunks, and all that sort of
thing, usually belonging to 3 complete
and well assorted stock, TO the fine
largo aud commodious store, recently
occupied by Feusier & Co., at the
corner Of C and Taylor streets. The
store ha, been fitted up in II neat and
elegant style for the purpose, and Sat-
urdsy evening, brilliantly lighted with
gas, i. presented a splendid appearance.
This removal WAS rendered absolutely
necessary by reason Of their immense
increase of trade, and Banner Brothers
will hereafter carry on Il larger stroke
of business than ever, completely dis-
tsueing all competition in quality and
quantity Of goods, prices or anything
else. Their goods are all fresh and
new, and in the latest style, as they
will not, in fact cannot, have any old
stale shop worn goods on hand to sell
All they ask Of any man is merely to
drop in and get their prices, and then if
no can afford to trade elsewhere, all he
has to do is to go it; they don't
object. Gold Killers trading Mt Vir-
GINA invariably call at Banner Brothers
ANrRIcAS.-The old North American
mine, now known rs the American,
which joins the 0verman on the south,
contains a vast body Of low grade ore.
This averages about SIC per ton, which,
under past rates Of milling, could not
be made to afford q profit, buta At present
rates it will do to work the mine. As
we stated . day or two since, work has
been recommended in it, and ore is
being extracted At a very lively and sat-
isfactory rate, under the auspices Of Mr..
Lambert, tho Superintendent. Over 80
men are employed, and the facilities are
excellent for The extraction of 200 ton
Of ore per day, no blasting being re
quired, and the ore being. tumbled out
with pick and shovel with the most per-
feet ease. The present working of tho
claim is through q tunnel some $50 feet
in length which intersects the lead at "
depth Of 100 feet below the surface, but
as soon as the machinery at the hosting
works can be put in order and proper
shape, work will be RECOMMENDED in
the old shaft Of the mine, some $50 feet
north of the present tunuel intersection.
PIrER's OPERA HoUsv.-rhis popular
theatrical institution was particularly
vell crowded on Saturday evening, and
tho play OF " Richard Ill never passed
OF to better advantage anywhere than
on this occasion. Mccullough appeared
AZ Richard, aud Stark rs Richmond,
and the cast was generally good, in
fact all did better in the parts assigned
them than at any time yet during the
present dramatic season, and the rsndi-
lion was most truly excellent through
out, there being no drag or laundering,
except perhaps in q few unimportant in
stances on the part of one or two OF
the subordinate characters. The
"Msrble Heart" was played last cvcn-
ing. Tonight something new in this
section, Wild Oats, or the Stroiling
Player" will be presented. Not but
what plenty Of people have soun their
wild oats here, yet they have seldom
~sprouted properly and brought forth
legitimate fruits. "Wild Oats is
said to be q very beautiful aud highly
pleasing comedy. Mccullough ap.
pears as Rover, and Stark "a John
Dory. For balance Of cast see dis
tributed programmes. No extra charge
for reserved seats.
Lrrs ISsUnAScE.-The particular Mt
~tention of all interested in life insurance
land who is not?) is earnestly invited
TO the advertisement in another column
to-day Of the famous New England Mu'
tual Life Insurance Company. This il
one Of the favorite and most successful
insurance companies in tbi, State, and
indeed, on the Pacific coast, as well al
at the East. It was incorporated IN
1885, therefore has been in operation io'
over a quarter Of a century. The affairs
Of the Company are, and always her'
been, in a very healthy aud iourishinG
state, presenting a marked contrast &c
the scores Of mushroom companies tina,
have sprung into existence, faded "ne
died since the New England was organ
lied. There are no stockholders to 40
sorb a large proportion of the surplus
funds, but every cent Of it is paid IL
dividends to policy holders alone. Other
advantages set forth in the advertise,
ment can be read and well %pondered
over by all reflective, sensible bushes:
