THEArRr-THE BENEFIT OF THE HOSE.
1t was gratifying last night to witness
the wsll-hlled house and appreciativs
audience which greeted the Troupe at the
Theatre last nigh on the occasion Of the
benefit of Phoebe Hose Company. The
house was quite full, yet all or nearly all
were comfortably seated and had fair
view OF the stage. The troupe evidently
received inspiration from the large at
tendance, for they showed better spirit
and performed more satisfactorily than
on any previous occasion. The music,
the singing and the dancing were excel
lent, and the frequent applause Of the
audience gave proof of the estimate
placed upon the evening 3 entertainment.
The Grand Finale at the close Of the first
part was well executed, and the volun-
teer fireman who handled the hose was
greeted with rounds of applause. The
Flreman's March, executed by Prof.
Maggie, was excellent-even charming;
Maggie Knight was encored after each
appearance on the stage; Pierce excelled
himself on the cornet and az interlocu-
tor; Jenkins made decided hit in his
clog dance; Lorraine in his comicalities
brought down the house, and Lamon,
Newman and Mason in their singing OF
different ballads contributed largely to
the qualification of the audience. Alto
gether the entertainment last evening
was complete success, and ms the pro-
cseds are to be used in paying the bal
ance due on the hose, the success of last
nights benefit is doubly gratifying The
next entertainment will be given on
Thursday evening. -.''....
New BU1LDINas.-Since the beginning
of the year now drawing to close the
buildings in Phoebe have more than
doubled. The traveller entering the town
from Hamilton saw but the foundation
Of what il now splendid structurs, our
Court House, and . few shantiss here
and there, but now for half 4 mile be-
yond the Postoffics neat dwellings are
found ON Lacour and Phoebe streets, and
high up on the hill on McCannon street.
Buildings on lower Main street have
also multiplied, and on that thorough
fare, in the business part Of the town
several substantial stone and brick build
ings have supplanted the temporary frame
houses at first erected. Meadow Valley
street. has also been built up, both with
frame buildings and those OF more sub
stantial material, and has been built
upon as far az the divide, and beyond
that point tho building process continues
On Panaca Flat building has been quite
brisk for months past, and it now has
the appearance Of a lively, thrifty vii
lage. But for the scarcity Of lumber and
other material for building purposes,
much more would have been accom-
plished in this line. Enough has been
done, however, to show that this is
live camp. For all this thrift and pros
perity we are indebted to the richness
of the silver mines and the energy OF the
people. j ~ t#gtl lt
BUsNEss.-Owing to the corner" in
the San Francisco money market, or
else because everybody is saving q piece
for the holidays, money doesn't flow as
freely now A. at other times. When the
holiday season arrives, however, the
purse strings will be unloosed and money
will flow )more freely. We anticipate
an increased interest in mining after the
holidays and an influx OF capital. Al
though the season may be regarded as
dull" last weeks shipment Of bullion
exceeded $153, 900 and that is sufficient
to show that our camp still lives.
During the month of November the
gold deposits at the Carson Mint we're
15,450.05S ounces, valued at $2S7. 442. SO;
silver deposits, $147, 2O9 .O16, valued at
$l72, 1863; total value of deposits,
$459, 619.92. f...i psfI'}
NEW Observation-Disclosures & Co.,
late of Boise City, Idaho, have fitted up
q house on lower Main. street, for the
restaurant business. The house will be
open to the public in few days.
BuLLIoN.-The shipment of bullion
from this place last week exceeded $685..
600. This is certainly a good showing
for the productiveness of the mines OF
Ely District. ...
