occasion were all right last evening,
and got along flrst-rate, giving Cham
frau himself a better chance, and al
lowing him to appear to better advan-
tage. His "Sam" Is certainly q very
excellent and finished impersonation.
This evening bis great piece, In which
he made such an immense hit and
which has had such a fine run at San
Francisco aud elsewhere, "kit, or the
Arkansas Traveller" will be present.
ed, with Chanfrau In the title charac-
ter. As may be seen by distributed
programmes, the cast is q good one,
and the play being we'll rehearsed, 1t
will be given In good style this even
Ing. The plot Of the piece is a very
good one, d~elineating Western life,
Astounding In scenes Of both Interest
ing and amusing character, sensational
incidents aud situations, and will
doubtless be as we'll appreciated by
our critical playgoers as BY those
wherever 1t has been presented. The
scenic artists and machinists at the
Opera House have been engaged for
the last two weeks In the preparation
Of the requisite scenery and stage
effects, and no pains OF expense will
be spared in placing 1t upon the stage
In first-rate style. Several new scenes
have been painted expressly for this
piece by Mr.. Albert Hires, the well
known scenic artist, and all who wit
ness their production this evening will
agree with us In pronouncing them
very creditable indeed. Owing to the
engagement Of Mr.. Chanfrau being
limited, closing on Monday night next,
Exit" can only be produced a very
few times, as 1t must give place to
other proposed attractlons-so all who
desire to see this famous play will
have to improve the opportunity.
There is nc extra charge for reserved
seats, and residents Of Carson, Silver
City or elsewhere in the vicinity, who
desire to see the great Chanfrau and
"Kit," can have good seats reserved
for them by merely sending, writing
or ~telegraphing to the Opera House,
or John Piper.
DELTA SALooN.-This Is n Of the
most popular saloons at Virginia, and
consequently has an immense run of
custom. Orndorf s. Magee, the genial
and gentlemanly proprietors, always
did have legions Of friends and always
will. They know how to run q saloon
right. The famous keno o at the
rear Of the saloon is enlarged to double
Its former size in order to accommo-
date the huge family Of busy and i'll
terested players who ~congregate with
in Its cosy precincts every evening.
Keno is evidently great sport, and
somebody wins a rich "pot" or a prize
quite frequently. On Saturday even
ing next, there will be two prizes put
IN to contend for; one a fine gold
watch and chain, and the other a valu-
able horse. Aside from the keno spec
ulative attraction, however, Orndof&
Magee do a very legitimate business at
their bar, which Is stocked with the
choicest Of liquors, wines and cigars.
They invite practical inspection. see
their advertisement.
The FRANKLIN MML.-This mill,
situated on Carson river, about two
miles above Dayton, says the Enter
prise, is being remodeled to such an
extent that when the Improvements
now in progress upon 1t are completed
Il will stand as almost new. A new
and powerful Lafelle turbine wheel Is
being put in, and ten new stamps Will
be added to the number heretofore In
use, increasing the crushing capacity
of the mill to fifty tons per day. A
new dam has been built and the height
OF the race increased three feet, giving
eighteen feet Of pressure upon the
wheel. The mill will be In running
order In about two weeks.
ANOTHER STATE BoARDER.-On the
4 O'Clock p. NJ. train for Carson, yester-
day, we saw John Gates sent to the
State Prison from White Pine county,
for life, for the murder Of James Mack.
He was In charge Of Sheriff Andrews,
of White Pine, and has been for the
last few days apparently trying to
make people think he Is going crazy.
He does mt look very crazy, though,
and will doubtless fully recover before
he has been long under Lieut.-Gov-
ernor Denver's sanitary regulations IN
the big sandstone castle.
A Snow SroRM.-The threatening
weather Of the last two or three days
eliminated about II o'clock A n. to-
day in a right lively snow storm. The
fleecy compound came sitting down
abundantly for about an hour, whiten-
ing the whole face Of the country.
This afternoon 1t has cleared OIL finely,
the Gold Hill pigs all have their tails
turned northward once more, and 1t
will not storm again for a week.
New STYLE.-A painter up at Vir-
glnia Is said to have adopted a new
style of graining imitation black wal
nut and other dark woods. He Is a
great tobacco chewer, and when he
wishes to make q knot, or a particu-
larly dark spot In his. work, he gives
a d~exterous squirt at the place, and 1t Is
done.
VIRGINIA PUBLIC ScuooLs.-Rev.
A. n. Fisher, State Superintendent Of
Il
Public Instruction, informs us that the
School Trustees Of Virginia City have
rented the old Catholic church for the
public schools, In place Of the building
recently destroyed by fire. It'll being
fitted up, and the schools Will occupy
1t the first Of next week.
MErEoR1c.-It Is the proper time
Just now to look out for the annual
meteoric showers. The stars should
have been shooting during the last two
or three nights II they Intended to this
season, Being clear weather, how
eyer, they may take the opportunity
70 shoot tonight. We shall see.
