Health published an official statement to
this effect, some weeks ago. 1t is not posi-
bic, under the circumstances, that the Jour
nars statement could be a mistake, and it is
perfectly clear that either that paper or the
physician" from whom it received its in
formation, has been guilty of uttering de-

THE BONANZA MIME.

The San Francisco Chronicle draws a most
vivid and elaborate picture Of the financial
ruin worked in California and Nevada by
the four BONANZA king Of the Pacine
slope. Accepting, as worthy OF credenoe
statement which bears upon its face the
stamp of genuineness, we find history re-
heating itself. A reproduction OF John

The facts that poverty is widespread
throughout California, and that the benevo-
lence Of charitably inclined persons alone
stands between . large number Of people
and actual starvation, lead to the inquiry,
"Why is State, so rich in every natural
resource, and still undeveloped, thus made
the scene of greater misery than is to be
found in the densely populated regions
of the East% The Chronicle proceeds to
answer that pertinent question in detail:

When Jack Watkins and Cherokee Bob
rode out Of the camp, their direction was
toward Fort Laramie, over the road which
had been traversed by the emigrants during
that day. After proceeding three or four
miles, until thty were sure Of safety from

and, by making a long detour, rode around
the camp, and re-entered the road some
miles beyond it. By this maneuyer they

Nine, Ren,x's Female Ministries


This celebrat' d troupe will appear
this evening at Recreation Hall, on
their return from California. They
are thus spoken of by the San Francisco
Chronicle:
LOcke's new venture, the introduc-
ton of Nine. Rentz's Female Minstrels
and Mabel Sankey's Burlesque Troupe,
was greeted on Saturday night by a
house crowded in every part, and the
company made an unqualified success.
On the rising of the curtain, the stage
presented Il drawing-room with ten
ladies, two end men and an i~nterlocutor,
standing in a semi-circle: At an invi-
tation from the interlocutor they took
their seats, and really looked charming.
The ladies are II and all beautiful,
while their dresses We're of the latest
style, full train, and of the most costly
material and fashionable cut. The
solos and choruses were all fairly given,
the ballad of Chamouni was admirably
sung by Miss Ella Love, who was hon
ored by an enthusiastic encore. The
end men, Mr.. James Roche and Mr..
Paul Allen, were both very amusing
and kept the audience in a state of
good humor. The first part terminated
with what is called a Musical Finale,
but which would be described better as
Il Burlesque Military Walk Around.
The second part opened with Mile
Rosita Leonie, the Aerial Queen, who
performed Il series of balancing feats
on the high trapeZe, that were graceful
aud daring, and was followed by a
serio-comic song by Miss Mortimer.
The owe sisters in a sketch, Lester
and Allen, the acrObatic song and
dance performers, were very successful
and responded to four enthusiastic
calls; they are finished artists. A
sketch called 1.-THE Call Boy" served
to introduce Miss Gussie Crayton and
Jas. Mas, who did some clever acting.
Miss Viola Clifton, the lightning
change artistic, appeared in 4 changes,
in all beautifully dressed and artisti-
cally performed her kiss Song" being
especially relished. 1.-THE Coming
Man." Il negro sketch, was followed by
Miss Hattie Forrest in a serio-comic
song, and the Love Sisters performed a
double sand jig most admirably. The
performance terminated with the well
known but alwrys popular burlesque of
the Female Forty Thieves" intro
ducing Miss Mabel Sankey's Burles-
quers. And we must congratulate that
lady in having surrounded herself with
a bevy of beauties that have not been
equaled here since the advent of
the British Blondes. The burlesque
was well acted and sung, while the sew
eral local illusions were very apropos
and highly enjoyed by the audience.
The performance is first-class in every
respect, and deserves, as no doubt it
will receive, liberal patronage. We
cannot slose without a word of praise
for the orchestra, which though not
is evidently composed of first
talent.
