he is unfortunate. If guilty, he should
at once be made President of the Board
Of Brokers, as the most brilliant and
dashiug operator Of them all. 1t
wouldn't take him long to own a con-
trolling interest in every company on
the Comstock ledge at that rate. When
arrested he gave his name rs James
Carter.
PlrER's OPERA HOUSE," Court AND
SrAGE."-Anothsr crowded house last
erening n,tes,ed the interest of our nu-
merous thsater goers in the excellent
entertainments given at Piper's gay
temple Of the drama. The play was n
,olerably good one, entitled Court and
Stage" purporting to be historical, yet
not possessing sufficient merit to war
rant u repetition here. There are some
good characters and incidents in it, yet
its success lies altogether in the supe-
rior rendition by the talented cast,
neither plo, nor incidents being of such
intense interest as to cause one to re-
member much of it for over n week IL
is devoid Of all new or startling points.
The company played it for all it WAS
worth. Nell Gwyune was very pleas
insly and artisiically performed by Miss
Charlotte Thompson, aud the Frances
Stewart Of Miss Gordon was very good,
only there was too much OF I, especial,
ly where she is pleading with Ming
Charles for her husbands life. Such q
long drag of msudlin agony is a little
toe much for this elevated and practi-
cal latitude ; seven.eigh,s of that part
could be cut out TO good advantage. !
Mr.. Edwards p~ersonated the royal
rake, King Charles the Second, very
satisfactorily and with-we had almost
said-suspicious facility. M~eCullough's
Duke Of Richmond ives excellent, and
RAYMOND, Burroughs and others sus-
tanned their various presentations very
commercially. This evening. by gen.
eral request, the beautiful and avorits
play Of "Camille" wilt be repeated. II
was performed TO n crowded house Sun
day evening, and with such success that
many who could not consistently be
present are highly DESTROYS of seeing
Miss Thompson as Camille, which is one
Of her great speeialties. MY Neigh
bor'. Wife," u very ~laughable farce,
never acted here, will be given as the
nfterpieee.
CHEEKY RoGuEs.-J. T. Wcl,on, our
well known Gold Hill matchmaker and
jeweler, yesterday gave US a written cir
cular just received by him pnrporting
TO come from J. P. Waters & Co., l9I
Broadway, New York. L. is strictly
-. confidential, of course, they proposing
to sell him some OF the best counterfeit
rr~seubscks in the country in fact Sc
good as to preclude the possibility of
detection eren BY the best Government
experts. They offer to sell about So of
this choice bogus for 81 Of good money,
or 81, 900 for $3.50, sending it in such a
manner that both parties shall be per-
fectly safe. They go on to seductively
remark " Depend upon it We are in
earnest in. this matter, and If you will
take hold Of it in a proper manner, you
can make $4,000 before. two months.
We implore you not to betr"y
us in case you are not inclined
10 90 in. Depend upon il, as
long as you are true to Us you will never
be out Of funds" In explanation OF
this matter, it il, proper TO state that
others besides Wolton are in receipt OF
n similar circular. tho sly rogues evil
IDENTIFY getting themselves posted as to
the business men in each community,
and so sending those circulars all over
the Pacific coast. Their margin for
profits lies in the chance that some
persons, dishonesty Inclined, may send
them So, $40 or more, by way OF eS-
pertinent, which of course would be the
last of it. In this way the receipts
might sum up to $1,000, and perhaps
much more, from q single mai!ing OF
their circulars. Detectives or any one
else would not be extremely liable TO
smash the firm OF J. p. Walters X Co.,
syen If they were to get after them.
WeI,on, no. being selfish, is willing to
let all his friends and the public into
this brilliant little private show for q
fortune.
BURGLARY Iy GoLp HILL LAST NicHT.
A burglar got into the Bank Exchange
last night, and stole two bottles Of
whisky, a six-shooter, and broke open a
mineral cabinet and extracted \ lot of
old silver coins. lie evidently had bur-
plarious tools with him, rs the door OF
the cabinet WAS opened with a cold
cbis,l. He also made a thorough search
for money, but failed TO get any except
tho old silver coins in the cabinet. The
scoundrel entered The saloon through a
skvlight over tho room back of the sa-
loon. and left by the same way. He is
no doub, a stranger in the place, but he
had =: nrospec,sd" around the saloon
before he undertook the job--as several
nights before 8 stranger was seen lurk-
ing about the rear Of the premises after
midnight, and was scared of by a SER
want opening a back door. We hope
the peopls Of our town will keep a
sbsrp lookout for their premises, and If
,b.y succeed in getting a good aim al a
burc,arious scoundrel a good dose Of
cold lead will perhaps learn this WHISKY
smoker a lesson. 1--WE are longing for a
GOOD sensation item about a burglar
being shot and killed
