IF P1pER's OPERA

REoPENfNo OF PrPER's OPERA
HOUSE on THURSDAY EVENING NEXT
As will be seen by reference to adver-
tisement In another column, Piper's
Opera House reopens next Thursday
evening with the best dramatic and
variety company which has appeared
for the last year or two, and perhaps
1t may indeed prove to be the best in
that line yet appearing in this section.
Miss Kitty Blanchard is a most charm
Ing Coincidence, singer, dancer, mu-
sician and irst-rate general artistic ;
Mckee Rankin enjoys a high repu-
tation as an excellent comedian and
general character %delineator, and the
same may be said Of w. H. Powers.
By many, Barry Is considered o finer
and better comic actor than even the
famous Raymond. Sinclair also Is
first-rate. As to the ladies Of the COM
pany, besides Miss Blanchard, there Is
Alicia Vaudeville and Maggie Moore,
both hard to be excelled In their pecu-
liar line as variety actresses, singers,
etc. ; also, Miss Fanny Young, Miss
Susie Soule and Mrs. Sinclair. Other
actors 60 to make up what certainly Is
a very superior variety company, and
one which should certainly Ill the
theatre nightly with well-pleased audi.
snces. The prices Of admission will
be the same as formerly-dress circle,
81; parquette, fifty cents. The box
sheet will be open tomorrow, when
reserved seats a be secured without
extra charge. The company leaves
San Francisco tomorrow morning. If
the indsfagitable manager, Piper,
does not make his theatre business
win with such an attraction as this, 1t
Is high time that he retired from 1t and
went into something else.
IMPERIAL SHUT DowT.-The old Inn
perial mine, which has been run so
steadily for years, was closed on Fri
day last, and all work suspended In 1t,
for the reason that the ore does not pay
we'll enough to justify further working
at present. Besides this, the funds In
the company's treasury are low, and
the big assessment Of $40 per share
levied on the 1st Of this month Is not
easy to collect, considering that the
stock Is selling for less than half that
amount per share. That assessment
becomes delinquent on the 7th Of
March. Work at the Imperial-Empire
shaft was also suspended at the
same time. It will be recollected that
this shaft has been thus far sunk
jointly by the Imperial and Empire
companies, each company doing their
own prospecting BY drifts from 1t. No
paying amount Of good ore has ever
been developed In the lowest levels
worked from that shaft, although the
present lowest level Of all, 1900 feet
from the surface, shows better indica-
tons of near proximity to bodies Of
good ore than those above 1t. Another
level 100 feet below would be very
likely to richly repay the labor and
expense Of sinking to 1t. The bottom
of the shaft Is over 80 feet below the
l30O-foot level. The suspension Of
work In this shaft is said to be only
temporary, and for the hope and sue
cess Of all developments ut that i'm
portant section Of the old Comstock,
we sincerely trust It Is. That great
work should not long lie idle, and
probably will not.
SHAMEruL.-0ur friend Pinchower,
whose burlesqus aspirations to office
have created considerable amusement
Of late, was very sadly used yesterday
morning by a lot of thoughtless merry
makers at a house on the Divide.
They joked with him so roughly that
he managed to get his wrist severely
cut with glass or something Of the
sort. He bled very freely, aud Is now
in the County Hospital, his wound
being really n very severe one. This,
now, is carrying the joke too far alto
gether, and partakes too much Of an
outrage upon IN i%noffensive old man
to be true sport by any means. 1t Is
high time to quit all such fun.
HALF-MAsr.-The flags throughout
Gold Hill and Virginia are displayed
ut half-mast to-day in token Of respect
for the memory Of the wife of Hon. j.
p. Jones, who died yesterday morning
at her residence in Gold Hill. The
funeral, which took place at l O'Clock
P. n. to-day, was very largely attended
by numerous sincere friends Of the
lamented deceased, The mournful cor
tege proceeded to Virginia, from
whence the remains are to be forward
to San Francisco.
GOULD & CURRY.-The recent sud-
den rise in the stock Of this company
was induced solely BY operators at the
Bay. and not upon any new and extra
good ore developments In the mine.
Considerable good ore continues to
come from It, but rs we said before,
there L. no new or unusual strike of
ore. We have our information from
undisputable authority.
PosTPoNEp.-The examination of
johnson for the shooting Of Gates was
called up in Jnstice Livingston's Court
at Virginia this morning, and post
poned till II O'Clock A. N. tomorrow.
BEIcHER AssEssMKNT.-Ohcial nc
tice Is given in our advertising col
umns of an assessment of n dollar
per share, levied last Thursday, and
delinquent March 23d.
