Little Mattie's benefit at Bigelow's
Hall last evening was bumper, the
hall being crowded with the young
lady's admirers. She was i'm her hap
piest mood and sang and danced
through her various acts like a fairy
sprite. Repeated applause from the
assemblage testified to their pleasure in
her efforts. The balance of npany
were above the mark. and rendered
their various roles with spirit and vi
vacity. 1t is Mr.. Taylor's intention
TO proceed at once to San Francisco
and procure a first class variety COM
pany, and on his return open at the
Hall for a long season. We think the
enterprise will prove a profitable one,
and good talent will be duly appreci-
ated and liberallv patronizad.

A blear-eyed, red nosed disciple of
alcohol, with a breath like a glue fac
tory, and a general air Of seedlness,
dropped into Clark's store yesterday.
and with a curt, business like way,
asked the price of -four per barrel.
Mac. took a look at the fellow, and
ciphered him down as a tramp who
would probably invest in %
worth of crackers and cheese, but an
swered very civilly that it was ruling

breadstuffs will be near the mark"
Mac. sharpened his pencil and put it
down, wondering, meanw lille. who
this bloated millionaire in disguise
could be. The fellow run through a
list OF articles, mentioning bacon, tea,
coffee, ham, etc., until the page figured
up about $500. Then he got down to
his work, aud wanted to know if the
Institution kept on hand a really good
article of whisky. Mac. instead of
leading the way to the barrel, and ask
ing the customer to sample it, merely
mentioned yer half a dozen favorite
brands, the mere allusion to which
made Rummy's mouth water. He
anticipated an invitation to the rear
of the store, but his measure had been
taken, and all further efforts in that
direction were futile

quired. 81 am a little particular

The fellow looked at Mac. sadly,

is a little angry over the spelling OF a
page of his book, and there are two
black lines clear across that order.
Rummy joined another rounder
over on the corner, and said in tre-
rnendous tones, "she wouldn't work,

Rare Specimens from Eureka Dis
trfet.
The regular meeting of the Califor
mia Geological Society was held a few
days since in San Francisco. In the
published proceedings we find som,
reference 10 this district, which possess.
es interest for our local readers.
On motion, duly seconded, Mr.. w. s
Reyes and Mr.. j. G.. Flat we're duly
elected associate members of the So
ciety.
A copy of the printed testimony and
arguments of counsel, and opinion OF
Judge Field, in the case Of Eureka
Consolidated Mining Company VS.. The
Richmond Mining Company of Neva.
MI. s. Heydenfelt, Jr.; also Herewith
a Photographic copy of the map used
In evidence at the trial of the case.
w. s. Reyes presented to the society
the specimens Of ores, clay and rocks
which were used on the late trial ofthe
case of the Eureka Consolidated Min
ing Company VS.. the Richmond Min
ing Company of Nevada, These speci-
mems will be numbered with the same
numbers which were use to identify
them at the trial, so that reference
from the testimony to the specimens
can always be made; there are about
seventy different specimens taken
from the Eureka. Richmond, X X,
Jackson and Phenix mines.
As a collection, representing the
Eureka District, it Is very valuable,
and will afford both interest and in
struction.
II Is q matter Of congratulation, that
these specimens have been given to
the Society, so that access TO the same
can be had by the lawyers and scien-
titic men, as this case will be a prece-
dent In the future.
The members of the Society COM
plain that persons sending specimens
of ores from their mines, neglect to
send the wall rocks, which are of SO
great importance.
The collection donated by Mr.. Keves
includes the wall rocks, as well as the
ores.
In the collection are several fine
specimens Of wulfenite, from the X X
and Jackson mines.
Mr.. Atwood also presented the
Society with two specimens of a sillice-
Gus rock with sections cut and pre-
pared from the same for the micro
scope). which were taken from the
Eureka Consolidated mine, Nevada.
IL has been called quartzite, but Mr..
Atwood had great doubts of the COR
RICHNESS of that term. He salt that all
English authorities agree that quartz
tie is a compact, fine grained, but dis
tinctty granular rock; in fact, an altered
with the rocks i'm which 1t lies.
These specimens do not in any re-
spect answer to that description.
Tie term granular is applied to those
rocks. the individual mineral particles
Of which they are composed being
large enough to be recognized by the
naked eye.
