EUREKA OPERA morsE.
Uncle josh whifcoaab an ufs re
cent on.

ccpt on.
The rep. alton Of Dtnman Thompson
and his troupe pieced d him. ThosU Of
our citizens WHO had yisittd San Francisco
during the past three months. have, on
their return, been loud in their praises Of
this excellent company, and enthusiastic in
regard to the fidelity Of the portraiture Of
" Uncle JOSH the central figure of the
piece presented at the Opera House last
evening. As a consequence, the auditorium
was crowded with a select assemblage, all
anxious to verify the truth Of the many
Mandatory criticisms bestowed upon the
New Hampshire farmer. That they we're
not disappointed in their anticipations,
every one present will concede; and, fur
Their, all will bear us out in the verdict that
the entertainment was q two-hours' season
Of nnalloyed enjoyment. The quaint,
homespun Yankee, bringing with him the
flavor Of the granite hills, betraying in his
dialect the race from which he sprung,
with nought Of that staginess and carica-
ture that has heretofore been a part of the
traditional -impersonations with which we

nature itself, transplanted from a corner of
New England to the boards, to delight and
fascinate the public. Mr.. Thompson sue
ceeds in putting his identity completely
ont Of sight, and the audience sees nothing
but Joshua Whitcomb, a real, and withal,
a very amusing parsonage. They follow
him entranced, laugh when he chuckles,
smile at his oddities, break into uproarious
laughter at his mistakes, and suddenly a
touch Of sentiment, q glimpse into the
workings Of his honest old heart, subducs
them, and moistens their eyes in sympathy.
1t is wonderful acting, although no one
thinks Of characterizing it as such. This
hearty looking rural parsonage is a reality,
and he plays upon our feelings, running
the gamut of the emotions with all the skill
that an accomplished pianist fingers the
scale Of his instrument. The triumph
here is more pronounced, from the fact
that there is no accessories of scenery, no
stage effects to heighten the illusion. 1t
all depends upon the talent and ability Of
the performer, and in this case he made us
forget the surroundings. The support was
good, and showed that each performer had
been thoroughly drilled in their roles.
Miss Julia Wilson is a pleasant and very
pretty actress, and won the favor Of the
audience as Tot. Mrs. Nourse, as Aunt
Matilda, contributed her full share to the
impression made, and Mr.. Wilson, as Cy.
Prime, don't a neat bit of character acting.
The piece will be repeated this evening,
and those who did not attend at the open
ing will find that they have missed a treat.
The many who were present will be at the
theater again tonight, for it will bear repe-
tition. Reserved seats can be procured at
the box Office during the day.

A very important development has been
made in the Geddes a. Bertrand mine at a
point between the $50 and s00-foot levels.
A small vein of ore was followed bv the
miners for a distance Of 80 feet, at which
point it expanded to a width of IA feet,
with every indication Of attaining still
larger proportions. It is fine looking
quartz, resembling in this respect the bo-
nanza ore that characterized the output
during the early history Of the property,
and is pronounced free milling ore. The
average Of the assays taken from the diff
ferent portions of the face of the ore
body gives return Of $50 per ton. The
mine has yielded a large mount Of the
precious metals since its discovery, and
the recent find proves that its rich depos-
its are by no means exhausted. The
workmen had q Publication Sunday last
over the bright prospects, III pleased pro-
prietors sending out "a liberal supply Of
wine and cigars for that purpose.
