LrEU."-Bulwer's fine and ever popu-
lar play Of "Richelieu was present
ed In most excellent style last even
ing, and the theater was crowded
above and below. Mr.. McCullough's
i~mpersonation Of the great Cardinal
was grand, and thoroughly artistic
and good, although We fancied not
quite up to his previous renditions we
have witnessed of that same character.
Richelieu and John Mccullough, how
ever, are synonymous terms on the Pa
cific coast, the actor being simply the
natural representative and correct de-
lineator of the famous Cardinal. Not
to have seen Mccullough In Richie
lieu Is to have missed witness
ing a masterpiece Of dramatic de-
lineation, always appreciatively at
tested to by q crowded house. The
Count Baradas of Mr.. James Garden
Was also 8 most excellent impersona-
ton, and Marlowe and Leathes sue
ceeded very we'll as De Berenghen and
King Louis. Sinclair's De Mauprat
was very acceptable, and above his
average. Barry pe~rsonated Richelieu's
faithful shadow, Joseph, very we'll
indeed, both In character and makeup,
although the irrepressible Barry would
occasionally CLEAN through the priestly
delineation with serio-comic effect.
Ellie Wilton, as Julie De Mortimer,
succeeded admirably, and Miss Nellie
Cummings, as the ambitious young
Francois, "knew no such word as
fail" A little more animation in her
style would have been IN improve
ment. The minor characters were
generally quite fairly, given, and
the piece passed of smoothly. To-
night Sh~akespeare's sublime tragedy
Of "Othello" will be given. Mr..
Mccullough will on this occasion en-
act the role Of the cunning. mischief
making. deceitful Iago, and Mr.. James
Garden will p~ersonate the dirty-faced.

the cast Is good, and the play cannot
fail to be we'll given, and as a matter

tended.
BELcHER ORE.-We were shown
some very rich specimens Of ore about
3 o'clock this afternoon, just taken
from the face of the drift ut the LOO
foot level Of the Belcher mine, 225 feet
south from the Crown Point mine.
II Is not only rich In black sui |
phurets Of silver, but also In free gold,
very. plainly visible to the naked
eye. Such very rich ore at that par
ticular point is extremely encouraging
for tho future prospects not only Of
the Belcher, but all the other mines
near 1t.
EUREKA DAM.-The apron ofthe big
dam Of the Union Mill Company, Car
son river, is nearly completed, says
the Enterprise, and the whole Of the
work is so far advanced that as It
stands 1t would resist the force Of al
most any freshet that Is liable to occur
at this season Of the year. A strong
force of men Is still at work upon the
structure and It is likely that it will DO
completed before there Is any material
rise In the river.
ST. PATRIcK's CHURCH FAIR.-The
attendance at this desirable Fair, ut
Miners Union Hall, Gold Hill, given
By the ladies in aid of the above church,
was excellent last evening, as usual,
and all the tables did a regular land
office business, all being we'll patron
lied. After 0 or 10 o'clock each even
ing, dancing is freely INDUCED In,
good music being provided for the pur-
pose. 1t is a capital good place to 90
and spend al agreeable evening.
SuAxY.-The brick steeple Of St.
Johns Church, near the Yellow Jacket
south works, had become In q rather
unsafe and shaky condition, owing, 1t
Is supposed, to the heavy Earring Of
the bell, the machinery of the works
and other causes, so that 1t was liable
to fall some day. For this reason 1t Is
now being taken down by Tim Cronin,
and Is to be replaced by a wooden
steeple.
FRESH FIsH.-Our markets are we'll
supplied at present with fresh fish Of
all descriptions. McGurn, at his IA
nous family provision store, South G
street, Virginia, keeps an extensive
assortment of the very freshest and
most desirable varieties from a whale
down to a herring.
CALEDONIA. - The ore producing
sections in this mine are giving out ore
at the usual satisfactory rate, and good
progress is being made In sinking the
new shaft. The new hosting works
are up and are being rooted, and a
donkey engine for hosting is in opera
ton.
IL Town. John I. CHM, Of the
Carson Register, was providing about
town at an early hour this morning.
the police say he left on the noon
train, however, for Carson.

mine yielded over GOO tons Of ore,
averaging as per assay S32 l6 per ton.
The Hale It Norcross mine yielded 400
tons.
