Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1870-04-08

the first appearance of the Royal Sat
suma japanese troupe Of jugglers,
acrobats, gymnasts, cquilibusts, etc,
in conjunction with the Sangalli ballet
troupe. OF the ballet portion we need
not speak, rs it could not be otherwise
than excellent, the dances being intro
duced as pleasing interludes between
the Japanese acts. The performances
of these Satsuma JapS rather excel i'll
some respects those of the Ha-ya-tah-
kee troupe, performing on that stage
last veal, although onie of their acts
are very similar. The featS performed
oil tile suspended bamboo poles, by q
couple of little fellows not much larger
than monkeys, last evening. were truly
surprising. They shin up those slender
poles. which dangle by N end from
the lofty proscenium, and perform va
riouS difficult cvolutionS after the style
of circus performers in the "perche'
act. and occasionally variate the thing
by sliding suddenly down 10 within 4
few inches of the lower end, stopping
just as the audience are expecting 10
see them drop upon the stage, Ii feet
beneath. Then there is the ladder
trick, where SltSuma, lying upon his
back. balances 4 tall ladder oil his feet,
while his little son climbs TO the top,
and becoming Self-sustaining and indie
pendent of his dad, deliberately kicks
the ladder from under him. One little
thre~e-vcar-old. about the size of Z san
Joaquin mosquito, is tied up helplessly
in a perfect labyrinth of rope. placed
on 4 card table, and a waSh-tub put
over him. In just two minutes time
little Davenport pops his head up
through the bottom of the tub, and
comes out with no sign of n rope about
him. Then there l. the fast girl with
the nobby waterfall, who walks OH a
telegraph wire with only 4 fan and =
parasol to balance her; and the old
iuSGler, who starts in sucking, swal-
lows his pipe, takes 4 drink OF water,
and pulls the pipe ont OF his ear, still
lighted, besides swallowing and spit
ting ont ut will any number of nest
eggs. This is evidently the funny man
OF the troupe. and 4 "fe!low of inf
mite wit" no doubt. if II could only
understand his .jocular remarks. Go
and sec the great combination to-
night.

Coon GoID DIGGINGs.-Governor
Stafford speaks very highly of the gold
diggings of Arizona. He says they are
not only very extensive, but of the
most permanent character. The only
troubie is lack of water to wash Win;
There are any amount of gulches and
rayines with heavy deep gravel banks,
which would last for centuries, paying.
excellent wages in pure gold. One OF
