Centennial Mlnstrels.

The performance at Turn-Verein
Hall last evening secured good turn
out from our citizens, although the
building was not crammed and
jammed as we expected to see 1t. Ev-
erything passed off In the most satis-
factory manner. The programme Of
the entertainment had been designed
to throw the greatest amount Of fun
into local and patriotic hits, and to
present nothing that could be at all
distasteful to the most refined audi
tor. This the company succeeded In
accomplishing most admirably. The
programme was as follows:
Part First.-Bones, Tom Shaw; In
terlocutor, +. s. Rothchild; Tambo,
M. Lehman. Opening Overture

out in the midst OF the proceedings
were quickly seized by the anti-Coolie
end men and thrown back. The sing
ing and the performance In the farce
were creditable to the amateur COM
pany. Many encores were given In
the course of the evening. The aero
batic feats of the Messrs. Strohm aud
Brandt were highly appreciated, and
these gentlemen added considerably
to their reputation for daring, muscle
and skill. We trust that the proceeds
of the affair may prove as satisfactory
as the entertainment was. The high
est credit is due to Mr.. M. Lehman,
who had the management of the affair,
and to the patriotic yoong gentlemen
who volunteered their services to such
good purpose.

That Robbery-The Blind express"

Last evening we called at the office
of Wells, Fargo & Co., in this city,
and interviewed Mr.. VIM. Pridham,
the agent of the company, and the
following questions and answers were
the result:
Reporter.-Mr. Pridham, did you
see the statement in the ErpreSs de-
nying the report published in the
HERALD of this morning that the Tel
egraph stage was robbed of the ex-
press box on Friday night?
Mr.. P.-I did.
Reporter. the statement cor
rect?
Mr.. P.-I do not know what the
stage agent knew. l was aware that
the box had been taken at 9:45 Friday
evening.
Reporter.-Don't you suppose that
Mr.. Cheney was aware of the robbery?
Mr.. P.-I 10 not know, but l infer
that as Superintendent of the Stage
Company he must have been Informed
of the circumstance.
Reporter.-Did you impart your In
formation to any one?
Mr.. P.-I did. l at once advised the
police force of the city and was in at
tendance with them on the arrival of
the train at 11:30 Friday night. sus-
picioned that the robbers would come
to the city on that train.
Reporter.-What was the result of
your visit to the depot?
Mr.. P.-Three men came up In the
U. s. hotel coach, and on arrival at
the house they evidently saw that
they were watched, and they imme-
diately fled, passing through Market
street to Spring end escaping.
Reporter.-There Is then no excuse
for the statement of the Erpress that
no robbery had taken place?
Mr.. P.-I think not, as the matter
was common talk on the street all
day, and a number of persons called
at our office for information.

On Friday night fine gold watch
and chain, valued at $500, were stolen
from Mrs. Lent, who resides in Sono-
ra. The case was given into the
hands of Officer Hill to work up, and
yesterday he succeeded in the under
taking. The watch was found on the
person of All Sin, a Celestial of Negro
Alley. The holder of the stolen prop
erty was at once locked up and the Of.
ficer is now prosecuting his search for
the chain. Much credit is due Mr..
Hill for his officer.like conduct In thus
speedily recovering the watch.
We call the attention of our readers
to the new advertisement of Mr.Arch'd d
B. McCaw, the jovial and energetic
young stock broker, wherein, for the
good of our people, he has reduced the
distances on stocks from 25 to so per
cent. This will afford an excellent OPP
portunity for all who have few dol
lars to spare to invest in stock privi-
leges. Many of our most prominent
citizens may be seen in his office dur
ing business hours. They express
great satisfaction with his manner OF
doing business. i.
The Express says the papers that
started In to break down the proposed
Fourth of July celebration have de-
sisted. We are glad to hear this. We
did not know that either Of the papers
had opposed it. The HERALD has
urged q celebration time and again.
The present movement has little too
much Express in it to warrant sue
cess. We have never known any
thing to succeed that that paper ad-
vocated. If 1t will only turn around
and oppose the celebration we shall
have q rousing turn out.
Mrs. E. E. Fisher, will leave by the
Orizaba to-day to join her husband In
san Francisco. Mr.. Fisher has loca-
ted himself at San Francisco in the
jewelry business, and we suppose
that Los Angeles will lose for a term
of years at least, one of her most en-
terprising and valuable citizens.
However We wish Mr.. and Mrs. Fish
er much happiness In their new home.

Rich Mines.

Mr.. G. H. Sweetman, who is just in
from the rich mining region of Ari-
zona, brought to our office yesterday
some rare specimens of silver in vari'
Gus deposits of baser metal. The lar
gest specimen was from the Surprise
mine, three miles from Silver King
district, and Mr.. Sweetman informed
us that the roug!. ore was worth four
dollars per pound. The rock was
taken from depth of sixty feet, and
at that point ledge three feet thick
was developed. This mine is the prop
erty of our informant, and he claims
that two tons of the ore reduced will
pay the original purchase price of the
mine, together with costs of mining,
shipment and reduction. Mr.. Sweet
man visited many different mines in
this district and the Globe district,
thirty miles to the Northeast. He ex-
hibited specimens from these which
contained silver in chlorides, anti.
mony, native anu horn. Mr.. Chill
son, q young gentleman from Ana
helm, who has been working silver
placer diggings in the Globe district,
is now on his way in with twenty
thousand dollars worth of pure mug
gets. Mr.. Chilson has been at work
only about two weeks on this lot. One
day he took out chunk of ore weigh
ing about four hundred pounds of al
most pure silver, and worth in the
neighborhood of IS 900. He is in the
biggest kind Of luck, and has found
real bonanza. This locality is some
270 miles from the terminus of the s.
P. r. r. at Indian Wells. No danger
is apprehended from Indians.

A CHANGE IN THE CABINET.

Washington has another profound
sensation. This time it is caused by a
change in the Cabinet. Yesterday the
President sent to the Senate nomina-
tions for Minister to England. Attorney
General, and Secretary of War. This
was unexpected. as it was generally
supposed that Pierrepont and Taft were
in accord with the autocrat of the
White House. The dispatches do not
give the names OF the nominees for
these exalted positions; but, as the
change is regarded as an effort to secure
the Pennsylvania delegation for Conk-
ling in the Cincinnati Convention, one
or more of them is undoubtedly from
Pennsylvania. The next change will
probably be the Secretary of the Treas
ury. Grant does not want Bristow,
and gave him to understand as much
at the time Of the st. Louis whisky
trials. but he would not take the hint,
and Grant is afraid to remove him until
after the Cincinnati Convention, know
ing that by doing SO now he would
materially increase his chances for the
nomination. What will those who
commended the selection of Taft for
Secretary of War, and dilated on his
eminent qualifications for the position.
say now of his sudden dismissal? Were
they mistaken as to his ability and
honesty, or does the President want no
honest men ia his Cabinet?

BONANZA TAXATION.

L I.
The "BoEanza Kings" on the Conn
stock refuse to pay the taxes ola the
net proceeds of their mines, and why?
Simply because they are very wealthy
and can stand tito law and worry the
tax collectors. Y they persist in this
fooiishnes8 the people of the State will
finally become aroused and speak them
a piece they will heed. The next Legis-
dsture may, and ought, to pay its par
ticular respects to all these foreign COR
porations, and SO effectually cinch their
iackassativeness as to put quietus to
any further bucking, and show them
that Nevada has some rights that must
and shall be respected. 1t is enough,
and burning shame aud disgrace that
Nevada suffers itself, through the party
lash, to be virtually disfranchised by CAL
ifornia's broken-down political SCI ubs.
Still worse, when it's insolent million
airs, whose property the people are
taxed to protect, refuse to bear their
just and equitable burdens of Govern
ment. Let it be made misdemeanor,
or felony even, for any corporation to
do business in this State unless it keeps
its office in the State, and mas none
but resident trustees. Let the property
of all corporations that violate the law
be confseated by the State. BY SO
doing, instead of our citizens grooming
under the burden of taxation, We can
put three or four hundred millions in
the treasury by the proceeds of the
sales Of the property of these stock
sharps and greedy cormorants, and the
bonaide residents be released from
taxation for several generations. Let
there be new deal for the people in
this Centennial year. The law re-
ierred to need only apply to those cor
porations which refuse to pay taxes,
and it would only effect the main Com
stock companies.
