BULLION AND ExCHEOUER.
Superintendent schultz Refuses to
Recognize the New Boards Of
Trustees, and Remains in Chsrge

Trustees, and Remains in Chsrge
His Action Approved.
Last Friday afternoon number of
armed men were employed by Super
intendent Schultz, of the Bullion and
Exchequer mines, to protect that
property from an apprehended or
possible attempt of P. A. Humbert
to take forcible possession of them.
Some time ago, it will be remem-
bered, the County Court of San Fran
cisco ordered an election, and new
Boards or Trustees we're accordingly
elected. The books and company
property in San Francisco were
turned over TO the new Boards after a
protest by the old Trustees; but the
mines up here, being out Of the
jurisdiction of the California courts,
Superintendent Schultz refused to
recognize the authority Of the new
Boards by turning the mines over to
P. A. Humbert, the newly-elected
Superintendent. Hence the necessity
for keeping armed men at the mines
for the time being. Superintendent
6chultz's course is said to be Endorsed
by stockholders representing a ma
jority of the capital stock of the two
corporations. The matter is under
consideration by the Gold Hill
Miners Union, but as that body does
not assume the right to settle dis
putes Of this kind, their interference
will probably be limited to the
placing Of Waterman or two at the
mines, to notify the Union of any
actual or projected violence. E. A.
Schultz will therefore remain in
charge.

The Prisoners In the County Jail.

There are nine prisoners in the
County Jail, at Dayton. Of whom
one is a Chinawoman, one white
woman, aud seven are white men.
The white woman is Matte Riley,
who was recently found guilty of dis
turbing the peace, and sent up for
thirty-four days. Eight of the pris-
oners are from Sutro, one from Silver,
and none from Dayton. This is a
larger number than has ever been
in since the Jail was built-except
when, few months ago, twenty
three opium smokers were confined
there for few hours.

PISAFoRE AT THE THEATRE LAST NIGHT
Hayerjy's Chicago Church-Choir Company
sang Pinafore last night to large, most
enthusiastic, and highly delighted au-
dience, who encored everything that could
be encored from beginning to end OF the
opcra. Every member Of the cast is good
singer and good actor, and they are alto
sether so sprightly, and introduce so much
vim and spirit into their performance, that
Pinafore seems like new composition.
The orchestra, too, plays with beautiful
effect. The clarinet is especially sweet, but
this is not by any means intended as
disparagine to the other instruments. Sir
Joseph Porter (Mr. Sidney Smitb) was a
remarkably fat and Jolly Lord Of the ADM.

used "oficially" with fine effect. Captain
Corcoran (Mr. John Z. McWade) is an adj
mirabe actor, with fine baritone voice.
Both these gentlemen are good dancers. and
each executed his pas Seut, after Miss jose
phiBe's supposed acceptance OF Sir Jo-
seph, in style which brought down
the house. Ralph Rackstraw (Mr. Phil
lin Fried) is a fne-looking gentleman,
with an exquisite tenor. But the loudest
and longest applause, as we'll as the great
est number OF enc0reS, was given to the
basSo profUndo (Mr. Aug. LivermanI after
the singing of "He is an Englisman."
His voice fairly shook the walls, and re-
minded one of Susini, the grandest OF
bassos. Dick Deadeye tMr. Raymond) and
Bill Bobs;ay (Mr. Alexander) have fine
voices, and are good actors. One OF the
noticeable features OF the company is that
they all seem to be graceful dancers.
Josephine Miss Ada Somers) has fine,
clear soprano voice, and acted beautifully,
particularly in the parting scene with RALPH.
Little Buttercup miss Jessie Bartlett) is
handsome, and has magnificent alto voice,
as we'll as great facial expression. Her act;
ing throughout was perfect. Altogether
the general opinion seemed to be that this
is the best Pinafore company which has ever
visited Richmond. We would suggest that
Ralph ought not to so to the ships side
when he is rejected and lean over. 1t is
too suggestive Of sea-sckness. and bis voice
