ECLIFToN.-Mr. Frank Hussey and Miss
Blanche Clifton, the celebrated drama
Etists, have arrived from Salt Lake City,
and will open an engagement at the Pr
oche theater on next Monday night
Their stay with us will necessarily be
{brief, as they are under engagement to
2soon appear at the Academy OF Music, in
Chicago. The transcendent ability of
| Mr. Hussey as comedian is so we'll
known on the Pacific coast that an ex.
tended notice Of it is scarcely necessary.
Miss Clifton, as Coincidence, vocalist,
fburlesque and emotional actress. has won
thigh encomiums wherever she has appear
BEL She holds the veryfrst rank in these
Ehranches of the dramatic profession.
EThey will open with the famous Austria
han sensational drama entitled Hazard
written expressly for them, play in
which both are afforded the opportunity
.! showing their remarkably versatile
talent. During the performance Miss
Blanche will sing, with banjo accomp,-
niment, two popular ballads. As Mr..
Hussey and Miss Clifton will only give
six performances, it is safe to predict for
them overlooking houses every night of
their engagement.
FROM SPRING VALLEY.-H. N. Conger,'
pne of the pioneers Of the Comstock,
lwho now resides in Spring Valley, near
the base of jeff Davis Peak, on the west
Hside, dropped into our sanctum last even
Ding and favored us with few items O.
Information concerning that section.
There are about twenty farms in Spring
Valley, the owners of which, like their
farming neighbors in Shoshone, are put
tng in extensive crops. Mr. Conger iu-
Horns US that there were not over four
inches of snow in Spring Valley at any
time during last winter, and stock con-
tlnued fat during the winter months on
the wild grass ranges. Mr.. c. is extern
slvely engaged in sheep raising, his ami
mails being high breed and o-produc-
ling, and too valuable to be disposed
of for slaughter. About all the agricul-
tural lands of Spring Valley are claimed.
It is about 80 miles north of Phoebe.
The principal pursuit Of the settlers is
stock raising, there being all of ten thou.
sand sheep and cattle grazing there.
GRAPE CULTURE IN SOUTHEASTERN
NEvADA.-Few are aware of the adapta
bllity Of large tracts of land III Lincolr
county to grape culture. The splendid
valley of the Muddy, in the southeastern
part of the county, presents an area o
many square miles, over which vineyard:
can be planted; and where the grape
dourishes all other varieties of fruit
would do well. Grape culture in tina
section would be no experiment; the sol
and climate are the same as in the neigh
boring valley Of the Santa Clara, 80 O.
40 miles east of the Muddy, where tn
Mormons are now engaged in construct
ing extensive wine vaults and fruit
canning establishments. Those incline,
TO invest in farming in this section-th
surest and most profitable of all the in
austrial pursuits-may profit by thes
suggestions. .r. =. ....
