Critical Audiences.

Mr.. Haverly, who is a veteran in the
show business, and has a lifetime ex-
p%erience in hat line, pays our COM
munity quite a compliment. In a con-
versation with him yesterday he in
formed us that he had never seen
more appreciative or cultured audi
ences than those that have nightly
gathered at the hall during the min
strel season. Pungent witticisms and
jokes that would be totally wasted on
an uneducated gathering, were com
pretended and enjoyed at once, AMI
the delicate shades that characterized
some of the troupe's performances
the inimitable George Thatcher for ex-
ample-elicited the unbounded ap-
plause of the auditors. The cosmopOl.
itan character of the denizens of the
Base Range is illustrated by the above.
The majority of u citizens have been
familiar with, and witnessed the imper-
sonations of all the leading lights of
the stage, and are as critical a commu-
nifty as the residents of the largest cit
les. While making all due allowance
for the difficulties under which all
companies labor in Eureka by reason
of inadequate stage facilities, they are
quick to detect the merits and demer-
its of any organization that solicits
their patronage. MIR. Haverly has the
assurance that in his case the verdict
has been one of unqualified praise.

The MINISTRIES, beside the large audi
ences that have gathered in the hall
nightly, have also been favored with a
congregation of appreciative listeners
who, by reason of a chronic state of
impecuniosity, have been debarred
from the pleasure of witnessing the
performances. Every evening a large
assemblsge hss gathered on Batemau
and Spring streets, where the songs
and choruses could be as plainly heard
as in the body OF the hall, and we are
satisfied that the poor fellows have
managed to extract as much pleasure
from their seats as the more fortunate
citizens who expended a dollar for an
inside seat. The vocal gems, mellowed
by distance, filled the moonlit street
with delightful melody, and even the
quips and quirks of the end men, the
Jokes and speeches of the artists, and
the shutting of the dancers, sounded
on the night air distinctly. By the aid
of a vivid imagination, combined with
an occasional glimpse through eligible
peep holes, the boys had their fill of
of endowment.

Due Notice of their Demands.

We were waited upon last evening
by n Of the fairest of young ladies',
who informed us that she was one of
a committee of three, appointed at a
recent meeting of the bellies of Eureka,
to urge upon the proprietors of ice
cream resorts the immediate necessity
of manufacturing and placing on sale
that delicious compound. The warm
weather, and the delightful moonlight
nights, have inspired the demoiselles
with an idea that the combination is
not complete without the cooling article
mentioned, hence their suggestion. II
was also resolved at the meeting, that
the wealth of affection and depths of
love which the young men have so
persistently alluded to while in the
aforesaid young ladies' company dur
ing the past season, will be gagged and
measured in the coming summer
months, by the frequency of their in
vitations to the objects of their adora-
ton to partake of the luxuries of the
ice cream parlor. The fair ones will
hold a secret session once Il week, and
report TO each other as to the generosity
of their followers. 1t promises to be a
mighty rough season on the boys, and
thew will have to curtail their whisky
and cigar eS ~penditures, or else submit to
social ostracism. The girls mean bust
ness, and will not compromise on less
than three plates a night. That amount
will entitle the gallants to the privilege
of hanging on the front gate until such
time as the prudent mother calls her
offspring away from that trysting place.

Another Runaway.

Runaways are getting to be the pre-
vailing live items nowadays. The
latest in this line was an Italian vege-
table Wagon yesterday morning, the
team attached taking a notion that
they could dispose of the load much
more expeditiously if not as satisfacto-
rily as the driver. A passing locomo
tive started them near the depot, and
they sailed off at a furious rate of speed
for a hundred yards, when they took a
turn and retraced their way down the
CANYON until they reached the neigh
borhood of the slaughter house, at
which place they brought up in the
gulch, %overturning the wagon, and
~fiinging out the pilot. He was pretty
badly scratched and bruised, but for
tunately no bones were broken. The
damage to the outfit is summed up in
a broken pole, and demolished seat
and rails. Court plaster. arnics and
the services of a blacksmith will repair
allipiurieS.

Typo wants telegraphic communica-

importance and assured future pros

that some of the f~ar-seeing capitalists
OF Eureka will co operate with Typo

a movement to build the line. Eureka

RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED.

The last official letter received at the

Telegram from the mine at Eureka,
Nevada: Weeks run, 800, 900. from
LOO tons of ore; weeks produce Of re-

vigor, and very good results. The 200

turning out a better grade ore than it

large quantities OF very good ore. The

THE MAvERLY MINsrnELs.

The last night of the minstrel season
was in the nature of a grand ovation
to the company, and every available
seat in the house was occupied before
the commencement ofthe performance.
The programme was an unusually bril-
liant one, and was faithfully carried
GU in detail. In the vocal line, Dix
on's "Baby Mine" was the feature,
and called forth round after round of
applause. 1t is a gem, and was mag
efficiently rendered by the singer. The
finale to the first part, walking for
dat cake" was a very amusing act,
and abounded in beautiful harmonies
as well. The second part, introducing
the various members Of the company
in their specialties, the most of which
have been previously noticed in de
tail, was up to the usual standard,
which, with this organization, is a high
one. and the closing sketch was a
laughter-provoking absurdity that end
ed the entertainment amid general
hilarlty on the part of the audience.
The season OF the organization in Eu
TeKd mas Ueen a most Satisfactory one
to both the citizens of the Base Range
and the troupe. They have played to
uniformly good houses, and when the
population CT the town ia taken into
consideration, the patronage bestowed
upon them has beer most generous.
In return they have furnished US with
the very best of amusement in their
particular line, have not sighted nor
slurred over a single act, have brought
order out of chaos i'll their system
of managing the hall, and have de-
lighted every audience that has as
sembled during the season. Still fur
thertheyhave demonstrated in their pri
vste Intercourse with our residents hat
they are courteous gentlemen, a CON-
pliment that can not truthfully be paid
to the average of former aggregations
appearing here. Manager Haverly,
his able lieutenant Harry Mann, and
Mr.. Baily, are deserving of all the
Communications that we can bestow
upon them, and we recommend them
to the especial attentions of our breth-
rem of the press. We are satisfied hat
the %troupe's success will be as marked
i'll Virginia City and San Francisco as
il has been at Eureka.

4 correspondent of the London Lancet recommends nitrate of lead as most ef- fectiye deodOriZer. Bad smells, he says, from whatever cause they may arise, ale removed as if by magic by its use. It is, also, remarkably inexpensive, pound of of the material costing less than shilling and, in common salt, furnishing sufficient to make nearly 400 gallons of the fluid. To prepare it for use it is simply necessary to take, for ordinary purposes, half d dram of nitrate of lead, dissolve it in pint or more of boiling water; dissolve about two drams of common salt in a pail of water, pour the two solutions together and allow them 10 settle. All that is required to oimmediately purify and sweeten fetid atmosphere, however originated, is to dip cloth ill the liquid and hang it up in the apartment,

A River that Does Not Give Up It's
 Dead.

1 The Colorado river (nOt our Texas Colo rado) is noted for it's swirls, so-called. They occur everywhere, but chiefly at high stages of water. A bubble rises from the bottom and breaks with slight sound on the surface. The water at that point begins a rotary motion, so small that an inverted teacup might cover it. Larger and larger grows the circle till a surface forty feet in diameter is in motion, spinning around a funnel-shaped hole in the center, two or three feet across the top and coming to a point in the depths below. Often large tree f1cating down the stream is caught and it's foremost end thrust in the air 20 or 30 feet while the other passes under neath-the exposed end to be slowly drawn down again and disappear. Three soldiers -deserters from Camp Mohave-passing through the ravine in a skiff, immediately below the fork, suffered their craft to run into swirl One of the crew at the first intimation of danger, threw Himself over board, beyond the charmed circle, and as he swan away he turned his head and saw the boat spin round until, one end being drawn into the vortex and the other up- heaved in the air, it slowly sank as it re- yolved into the turbd bosom of the river. 
 it's human freight to be seen no more, for the Colorado river gives not up it's dead no corpse lodges on its shorcs.-[ Hunts vile Item.
 That sounds familiar; but we did not say ''swirls" and we did say canyon instead of ravine. The item is good enough for us to print over again.

Desert Paper.

Experiments have been made in the manufacture of all kinds of paper from the fiber of the yucca draconis, Spanish bayonet, on so large a scale that there is now no doubt of it's adaptability to that purpose. This plant grows on the Colorado desert in ineXhauStible quantities. Wrapping and print ing paper are annually imported into California to the value of over two millions of dollars; the writing paper imported costs still more. All this paper can be made from the pulp of the yucca. The only thing that has retarded this in- dustry has been the unsettled con- dition of the labor question. Capi- talists are afraid to invest in manu- featuring enterprises, while there is risk that they will hot be sui. fered to employ such labor as will enable them to compete with east ern and foreign manufacturers.
