A MASON Valley sensation.

The sutro Independent Of this morning

a difficulty between Pat. Birmingham,
Of Pizen Switch. and q Chinaman in his
employ, about wages. Thereafter Biz.
miusham. together with William Barnes,
Richard Wheeler and John Montague,
went to q Pluto tspee near by, and there
dosed tho Indians with whisky, and told
them that 1t was the desire OF the resi.
dents Of tho valley that oil Cinnamon
there should be exterminated, and espe.
cially the one employed by Birmingham.
InAamed from the effects OF the whisky
and stories told them, and encouraged
by q $40 coin. the Piutes OF once made
arrangements for the onslaught. During
the evening they proceeded. with shot.
guns. to the place where the Chinaman
in question was, murdered and scalped
him. Arrests aud conviction Of Biz.
miusham and Montague for dispensing
liquor to the Indians followed. while
Wheeler and Barnes were bound 9 to
await the action Of the grand jury Of
Esmeralda county. The Piutes are now
conscious OF the manner in which they
were nude the perpetrators. apd have
sworn vengeance on the four accessories
to the deed.

Pipsr's Opera Heass.

The welcome which the people Of the
Comstock gave the Colvills Comic Opera
Company. Saturday evening. vas .
hearty one and the performances Of the
"Magio Slipper" by the company was
all that was expected or could have been
asked by the most iastidious or sxactins.
The entertainment had, as showmen
say. "ths right swing to It," and ran
like q finely executed cadence from be.
ginning to end. The fine music and
the superb acting kept everybody In
good humor aud the rounds Of applause
and encores were numerous. It would
be O pleasing task to review the whole
performance and to note Its many OK.
celiencies. but this would extend this
notice beyond bounds. There are three
points iu the music worthy Of particular
mention, and these are the singing Of
Miss Eue Roseau. the quartet and the
choruses. Miss Rossau 10 not only q
pleasing singer but o superb actress.
She IL never at fault and always grace.
full. She has O voice OF extended com.
pass aud very even register, well trained,
musical and under perfect control. Her
style is unique iu many respects and
admirably adapted to most Of the solos
which she sings. Her execution 10
really excellent, her runs being as
accurately pronounced as II made by
an instrument. II is seldom that an ar.
tiste OF her ability in every respect is to
DO found on the burlesque stage. and
there are those here who contend that
she is queen in her line. Some OF the
duets are very fine also; but nothing bet
ter than the quartet which boasts q tenor
Of marvellous strength and sweetness-in
fact a little too strong at times Tor the
other voices. thus making the music .
little top. heavy aud In need Of ballast.
Still the quartet Is . superior q and
might be introduced more frequently
with good effect. The cboruses are OK.
csll.nt. The combination in this respect
is very superior aud shows that the one
who arranged the voices and trained the
singers understood that no ~vocalists are
too good for q chorus. The acting as Q
whole IL doubtless the best part OF the
performance. In this respect oil excel.
or course comedy rules, but the mock.
heroic 10 not wanting. In the line OF
action It would DO almost invidious to
p~articularizs although there Is variety OF
talent displayed in the various lines.
The entertainment OF the troupe Is too
good to be lost. Tonight seats have been
rendered to General Grant and party
and have been accepted for q portion OF
the evening. The "Msgio Slipper will
be presented tonight for the last time.
Tomorrow evening Robinson Crusoe"
and new songs throughout. Reserved
