actress. The play selected for the oc-

1t was entirely new here, be-
ing produced for the first time OH
the Opera House stage. and judging
from the amount OF applause bestowed
throughout, 1t took very we'll. It's
merits, however, do not depend so
much upon depth of plot as upon SEN
sational effects and startling situations
and incidents. Miss Dargon persona
ted Cora de Champs, q character we'll
calculated to bring out all her finest
points in both delineative acting and
%elocution. In some Of tho situations
the sensational force Of her delineation
was effective In the extreme, border
ing upon the sublime. and drew forth
the most rapturous applause from the
entire audience. Her emotional rem
dition Of the inner passages and closing
scenes was equally m%eritorious, and on
n or two occasions during the pro-
gress Of the play she was called before
the curtain. Pierpont Thayer, too, as
George de Hamel. appeared to most
excellent advantage, and threw a most
commendable and judicious force into
his delineation where the situation de-
handed 1t, which won for him plenty
Of applause. Barry's Potain was pc
culiarly amusing, and capltally rem
dered. Mrs. Beatty sustained the part Of
Marcelle very creditably. and the other
characters ere generally we'll rem
dered. Miss Dargon's recitation OF the
charge Of the Irish Brigade Of Fon-
tenoy" was highly meritorious and en-
Enthusiastically applauded. She pos
sesses n remarkable power and dis
tinctness In e%locution as well as cor
rect conception, emlnently fitting her
for such recitations. This evening
Miss Dargon will make her last appeai-
ance, as the company goes to Carson
tomorrow, and she has to I'LL engage
ments elsewhere. This being tbs

HEAVY TRANSACTION morning
till night a ~ceaseless procession Of
quartz teams can be seen filing through
Main street while making their trips
to mills at Silver or on Carson river.
Our admiration for the outfit Is about
equally divided between the noble an
finals which make up the team and the
intrepid charioteer who, with only q
single line. steers the immense crsft
down the steep and winding street In
safety. In 10 part Of the country Is
there greater activity to be seen than
in modest little town upon the
hillside.
LuMpgR.-From A. h. Potter, lum-
Der dealer, Gold Hill, We learn that
the demand for lumber for building
purposes has fallen of somewhat dur.
ing the past two months. Dealers are
no longer compelled to use teams for
hauling their supplies, the railroad
company having ample facilities for
bringing to this market all the build
ing material that Is required at pres
ent. An Increased demand for lumber
will probably spring up as soon a. the
Winter season Is over.
