That Convention Of Beaux.

EDITOR TINES your issue of
the 9th instant I noticed mistake
in the call for certain Silverites to
meet in convention to transact a
little business for their mutual com.
fort and benefit. The object of the
meeting was correctly stated, but my
position in the club will be misunder-
stood. As / was retired from the
secretary ship some weeks since and
placed on the honorary list, the call
should properly have been signed by
WEABSEWG TRFFBDHKPW, who
is the present Secretary, and of course
is on the active list. Hoping you
will make this correction, remain
yours in the cause, but not in the
market. CHAGH JCTBHM.

THE BoNBoN PARTy.--As we pre-
dicted, the bonbon party given by the
Cosmopolitan Social Club Thursday
evening called together all those
possessed OF Terpsichorean proclivi-
ties. 1t was the most pleasant
dancing party Of tho season. AS we
announced in our last issue the bon
bon party was intended to be the last
given under The auspices of the Club,
but us quite a number of the men,
bers are still here it has been suggest
ed that the dances be kept up the re-
mainder OF the season-one each
month, instead Of two, as heretofore.
An effirt tending to that result
should be made, as they are very en-
j,yable, and are conducive of that
feeling Of sociability SO necessary in
small towns.

PrPER's OPERA After a
remarkably successful week the
Union Square Company will close
their engagement this evening. Not
withstanding the Indictment weather
prevailing through the week they
have played to full house every
night. A large number of Silverites
have taken advantage of the late fall
of snow to enjoy double pleasure
sleighing and the drama. To those
of our citizens who have not had the
pleasure of seeing the company we
would suggest that they attend this
evening, as the opportunity of seeing
such artistic and finished acting is
seldom granted to US. At the matt
nee this afternoon "I'ink Dominoes'
will be presented for the last time
At the farewell performance this
evening "The Two Orphans will be
given. The people of the Comstock
will bid adieu to this excellent trou pc
with deep regret, while they will
thank Mr.. Piper for his commendable
enterprise in bringing such talented
artists to Virginia.

A New BooK.--Says the Stock Re-
port: Hon. r. r. Parkinson of the
Carson Tribune, who has attended
the present session of our Legislature
from the opening day, has written
sketches of the Legislators and State
officers which will shortly be offered
to the public in book form. Judge
Parkinson writes fluently and with
rare grace, and all of his literary
productions have a marked individu-
atty. He is the man above all others
to draw portraits of our public men.
AT present the Judge is negotiating
with the city publishers, from whom
he has received several liberal offers.

BOdie News Items.
From the STANDARD Of wedpesd,,

From the Standard Of Wednesday,
So far the snow or cold weather
has not interfered materially with the
work of development in the majority
Of tho mines of this district. The
tramway is carrying the ore to the
Standard mill, while some 20 tons
daily are being sledded to the Syn
date mill from the Bechtel. The lat
ter mill made partial cleanup on
Thursday last, the result being bar
of S15,947 GO, which was most sat
is factory to all interested.
At Columbus, Wednesday night
last, Joe Parmentel was murdered
and his house fred and completely
destroyed; also the store OF r. Abra-
ham and Chinese restaurant. The
body of Parmentel showed that he
had been stabbed in the back while
asleep, and his throat cut. A coro-
ner's inquest lasting two days failed
to fix the crime on any particular
person. The Commissioners of Es-
meralds county have offered reward
of $500 for the capture OF the muir
derer. 1t is thought only small
amount of money was obtained by
the murderer.
DR.. Blackwood performed very
difficult surgical operation on James
Blair, who was severely wounded in
the ARRAY with "U. P. Jack," and it
was thought he might recover, but
the latest report says he is sinking
rapidly.
Monday morning Thomas Rogers
was severely injured by piece of
scantling falling down the Central
shaft. His recovery is doubtful.
The Bedie and Bridgeport road is
now open for travel, and 1t is thought
it will not be again obstructed during
the winter.
The Albany mine, recently located,
is about three miles south of here.
The groupings of the ledge are three
feet wide.
The Humphrey mill, being put in
place in Bndie Canyon, will hereafter
he know as the Mono mill.
II is estimated that over $4,000
was distributed among the laborers

To PIuTE CHARLEY-Dear Sir-I
understand you and number of
Others intend leaving your old hunt

means, till spring. No matter if the
poor whites do crowd you away from
the swill barrels, do not eat your po-
MES, but go after rabbits; eat them
CUTS and all; pay 10 attention to the
scandling Migrants of the place; pray
to the Great Spirit for your deliver
ance until the frost gets out of the
ground; then you can dig roots and
be independently poor, with plenty
of company for this place next sum-
mer. Give my regards to George
and his wife.
Some id gut will feel anxious
to read this letter when they find out
you have correspondent in Bodie.
You-look out for them; such men
would steal your ponies and be dis
grace to the Piute tribe if they were
of the female persuasion. You must
look out for yourself; Gu and after
this date Hard Times IS going to To-
cate In Silver aud spend his days
there, and If you conclude to stop in
the place you had better commence
killing goats and drying the meat
before the vags get the start of you.
My regards to Schramm and Black

The Stock Report. Speaking of [

The Stock Report, speaking of the
pending negotiations for COM
promise of the Justice Alta dispute,
says that the plan finally selected as
the most feasible comprehends the
segregation of three hundred feet of
Justice ground, the segregation of
the same amount of Alta ground, and
the formation of new corporation
to work the ground thus set apart.
The plan involves the further under
standing that the shares of the new
corporation be divided pro ratio among
the holders of Alta and Justice stock.

STRIKE IN THE SILVER HnL.-A
very promising development was
made in the Silver Hill mine Wednes-
day in east crosscut No. Q from the
south lateral drift on the 600 level.
The streak of ore found is about
three feet in width, and will it is
thought, average from $40 To $50
under the stamps. Assays from it
run up to 5000 per ton. the cross
cut had been passing through very
promising vein matter for a consid-
cradle distance before coming to the
ore, and beyond the ore Is still being
advanced 10 the same formation. 1t
is very likely that, when drifted upon
north aud south, the vein just dis
covered will be found to widen in
one direction or the other, as it is
improbable that they have cut it in
the widest place in its whole length.
