There will be a meeting of the N. A. NJ

the Carson City Savings Bank. The object
of the meeting, as understand, is to take
such steps as are deemed requisite to liqui-
date the indebtedness of the company, make
arrangements for more permanent and COM
prehensive organization, invite the co-opera
ton of persons of means, and make arrange
ments for the contemplated Fair at our
grounds next Autumn. 1t is to be hoped
that the proper and needful steps may be
taken to ensure the promotion of these very
desirable purposes. Our citizens owe 1t to
themselves to evince an interest in the affairs
and projects of this society, for the fact be-
comes moro and more evident that our little
city is going to need all the artificial aids
possible to the end that We be not quite given

SUCCESSFUL STOCK OPERATIONS.
Adjourned.

There is much talk about stock operations
and the rapid fortunes that are amassed by
them, but very few people understand just
how it is done. Messrs. Lawrence & Co.
Bankers, 81 Exchange Place, New York city,
have published full details of their new COM
bination method of operating in stocks, which
is wonderfully successful. By pooling the
orders of thousands of customers into one
immense sum and operating them whole,
each patron is placed on an equality with the
largest operator, and vast profits are divided
pro rata among shareholders every 80 days.
$25 makes 800, or per cent. on the stock
in the month 500 makes $3.50, or 3 per
cent. $3.50 makes 81 800, and various profits
according to the movements of stocks. Safety
and success are the Distinguishing features of
this system. S. Y. Sanger, of San Francisco,
Cal writes: 81 have never made so much
money in the same time as have by your
combination system" The new circular(co
righted and sent free) explains all the details

JOSH HART'S VARIETY TROUPE.

This full corps of talented musicians,
vocalists and specially performers drew a fine
audience to the Opera House last night. This
is the best troupe of MINISTRIES and Protean
artists we have had here since the Haverlys-
and in many respects they are superior to, as
they are very different from that company.
The hour is SO late, and our fear of emitting
some of the most worthy and notable actors,
scenes, songs and dancers is so strong, that
we are chary of particulars. We have never
seen any dancing like Fortelles 1t is superb.
Murphy and Shannon are, in themselves,
