Accomplishments of trained dogs, po-

last evening, for q weeks run at the
Opera House. That popular theater
was densely crowded and the enter
tainment given wasa little the liveliest
and most novel we have seen there for
many a day, keeping the audience in
q continual state Of laughter and up
roarious applause. 1t was something
short, to the point, and full of start
ling novelty and quick transition
throughout, one feature following the
other in active succession, with no
drag perceptible anywhere very

cially with q Washoe audience. The

three globes some two feet in diameter,
went skipping rapidly about the stage
in all directions at will, waltzing III

are we'll made, active young men.
They also did some very surprising
and difficult things on the elevated
trapeze. Their horizontal bar acts
also showed them to be the best among
"ymnasts. There were also many
other choice acts, mostly new here,
performed. Perhaps the most amusing
was the performance Of the trained
dogs. Those little beasts showed n
degree of Intelligence and real GYM
naStic activity and d~iscriminative
ability which was truly surprising.

received. and the pantomime at the
close was greeted with continued

SIERRA NEVADA MrNE.-From the
recent annual report Of the Secretary
of the Sierra Nevada Mining Com
pany, we extract the following items,
interesting to stockholders: "Therc
have been crushed during the year
$4,000 tons of ore ; average. IS 6j per
ton, giving $l55,977 SO. The aver
age expense Of mining was 81 %;
crushing. s. 30; other expenses, "a
cents-total, s. - per ton, leaving q
profit of 81 81 per ton, or $o2,92O. OF
which $i5. 900 was diSbursed as divi-
vldendS. Among the expenses, $l9,-
G2r 30 was for old debts; A,965 a ON
account of boilers, etc. The liabilities
are $l7,ll2. Ore extracted from ledge
for week ending January 9TH, 10
tons; from gravel deposit, 33I
tons; amount crushed, 367 tons.
The debt Of the company, with the
present supply Of good ore, will be
wiped out in the course of a month or
two, leaving a good margin for divi-
dends. The suit in court brought by
the holders Of old certificates sold out
for assessments, Is progressing salts
factorily, and the threatened trouble
with the Kenosha Company, which
claims q large portion Of their best
ground, will not probably amount to
much.
TRUE INsuRAScE.-It is a patent fact,
very apparent to all sensible men or
any one with half an idea of good
snu,rc business transactions that in
the matter of life or fire insurance, the
main point Is not merely the securing
of an insurance policy regardless OF
the company insured in, but the true
responsibility of such company in the
liduidation of all its liabilities-the
prompt payment Of losses when they
occur. In fire insurance, especially,
when all property owners are liable to
incur serious if not total losses by the
deyourinS element, the Importance OF
ins,lrinS in a good company cannot be
oyerestimated. 1t is indeed the only
safeguard. and in pursuance Of this
commendable idea We recommend the
critical attention Of everybody,
whether interested or not. to the All
yertisement Of the PhGniS and Home
