The Eclipse" says that among the am
bilious ones to reach Leadville is Peter Car
lion, Of Luzerne county, Pennsylvania. He
has arrived as far as Denver, having trav-
eled all the distance on foot. accompanied
by bis wife aud child, a little girl only 3
years old.
The pedestrian has hauled his little
daughter from his former home in the far
East in a home .ade covered wheelbarrow.
which also contained a small tent, used as
a shelter while lying over at night. Mr..
Carlton is a miner by trade, and has spent
36 years under ground. He left his homo
on the l1th of April, aud has been on the
tramp ever since, walking principally in
the early morning and after sunset.
His wife has suffered considerably from
neuralgia on the way, but stuck it out most
pluckily. In one day they have covered
twenty-eight miles, aud occasionally but
twelve. but an average of twenty miles per
diem has been accomplished. They are
now destitute Of funds, and are ~anxious to
obtain employment-if not permanent. at
least sufficient to enable them to reach
their destination.

Dramatic

Mr.. Bartlett, some weeks ago, made ar
rangements with Den. Thompson's Troupe
for a three nights engagement in Eureka,
commencing on the 10th instant. A letter
appeared in a Carson paper a few days
since from the manager OF the troupe,
stating that owing to the short time yet to
elapse before the opening OF the new sea-
son, it would be necessary for the troupe
TO go East Immediately, and decline to APP
pear In that place. Mr.. Bartlett has re-
ceived no notification to cancel the engage
ment, and it may be possible that they will
come to Eureka. He has written to Mr..
Locke for information. He is also en-
deavoring to secure the appearance here of
james Barrows' Dramatic Troupe, which
is said to be the best troupe on the coast,
and no doubt he will succeed.

made for himself quite a reputation for his
excellent sketches of the underground
workings as well as the surface works of
the mines of the Comstock, returned q few
days ago from Sierra county, California,
where he has been for the last seven or
eight months. Tommy bad the pleasure
Of working for some time at Allegheny

diggings, and met many an old timer still

the old style. At Alleghanytown is whero
John Mackay, the present bonanza king,

Of old miners who knew him we'll and used
to work with him. Mackay was considered
a good hand at the pick and shovel in
those days, and used to work in the Old
Bay State claim, now called the Masonic,
and also in Red Star gulch. near by. The
cabin Mackay occupied sill stands there.
Tommy made a small pencil drawing of it,
which he brought along and presented to
us. 1t is a neat little one-story shanty, Of
about 12x16 feet in size, with two windows
and a door, and a little porch in front,
and a few struggling trees and shrubs give
it quite a pictorial appearance, so to speak.
Mackay lives in a fine brick house now,
and feeds on pate de foie gras, but he
probably sleeps no sounder or has a better
appetite than when he fed on beans and
fiapjacks and slept in that little old cabin
of shakes."

Gamblers, like other people, have their
lucky days, and when a professional feels
that he has conquered the dealer" he
will sometimes stake his pile. Sometimes
heavy bets are made out of pure reckless
ness. The spirit Of make or break is
SO strong that if a man has a dollar he will
risk it in some way so as to have two or
none. A man came into q gambling sa-
loon on Chestnut street one night, and,
after watching the play a few minutes,
said Il bet a thousand that the ace
wins" The man meant what he said, and
the dealer sent for the proprietor OF
the bank, who scratched his head
and said that the bank would
take a fourth Of the bet. Wouldn't some of
the gentlemen like to make up the rest Z
.Tll take $3.50 of it," said a man leaning
against the bar. "I1l take $3.50 more"
said another, and in three minutes 50, 900
lay on the table and the dealer took up the
cards. He dealt three or -four turns and
the ace came loser. The partners took
$3.50 apiece, and the man who had risked
so much on a single card walked off smil-
ing and as unconcerned as could be.

AN INNOVATION.
A Brass Bani Permanently LOcat.
cd LA Joe Mendex' saloon.


In all large cities throughout the coun-
try OF late years, there have been pleasure
resorts where the strains of an orchesterian
could be heard daily and nightly. This is
an instrument, or rather a combination Of
instruments representing full orchestra
or brass band. As they cost thousands OF
dollars their number has naturally been
limited. and we had no idea that we should
ever hea one in Eureka. and yet in a few
days more the melody OF one will be heard
in Joe Mendes' saloon, foithat enterprising
individual has imported one. aud it is now
being put up by Mr.. Schoenstein, the
agent for the Coast. 1t was manufactured
in Baden. Germany, by Schoenstein Bros,
is Is feet s inches high, about 4 feet deep,
and 7 feet 6 inches front; has IL keys and
346 instruments Of all kinds, OF flutes,
picolos, trnmpPts. t~rombones, aud a tri-
angle and u kettledrum. There are IL diff
ferent cylinders that play over 50 different
tunes, OF songs. dances, and operate selec-
tons. A weight Of about 500 pounds,
wound with a crank. gives motive power to
q strong, but fine worked mechanism,
which works the bellows for a supply Of
wind, and drives the cylinders thai work
the keys, together with all other automatic
combinations. Nothing further is neces-
sary than to take out and put in the
cylinders representing different tunes,
winding the crank and starting the instra-
ment in order to enjoy as good music as
could be given by any brass band. 1t will
be in operation about Tuesd y next, and
will serve 10 make JOS saloon additionally
attractive. There will be only one reason
to regret its introduction. and that is that
the genial face Of Prof. Plumhof will be
missed. and his kindly greeting will no
longer hail the habitues Of The Tiger"

BODIES
The ''Standard's'' Explanation of
the Recent Fall.

50 AhCSSsbt
1t was noticed yesterday that a good
deal of anxiety was depicted upon the
countenances of the majority of those who
read the afternoon stock report. Bodie at
STA is extremely unpleasant reading for
most of our people, as it carries down with
it all the smaller stocks. Nothing short Of
a panic could have caused such a drop.
The condition of the mine affords no roa-
son for such a decline, if, indeed, there is
reason for any decline at all. The mill
has scarcely done as good work as was ex-
pected Of it, having broken down two or
three times, and the usual proportion Of
silver in the bullion has reduced the value
Of the bars. These admitted facts. how
ever, ought to have caused no considera-
BILE scaling in the price Of the stock. The
defects in the mill can be easily remedied.
The presence of silver in large quantities
in the ore is, according to the accepted
theory of old miners, q most happy au-
curry Of permanencs. The writer has not
visited the mine for about three weeks,
but from most trustworthy sources-such
gentlemen as VIM. Irwin, W. P. Holmes
and others. in who's Judgment we have
every confidence, and whose integrity is
above Reproductive learn that the mine
never looked richer or better than it did
this morning. The face in the bottom of
the Wine is particularly rich and strong,
and fairly sparkles with native silver and
gold. One load of ore was sent to the
mill yesterday, which, it is estimated. will
produce S25, 900. Notwithstanding these
facts, it is probable that unfavorable re-
ports have been circulated about the mine.
There are interests at present unrepre-
sented in the ownership of the property
which would urOhably like Ia get in Mt low
figures. 1t is generally well known hat
the Bodies are not bought ON margin.
They are purchased outright. The Com
stocks. on the other hand, are nearly all
held by that uncertain tenure. If the
market goes down, 'more mud" is called
for, and unless the unfortunate owner Of
securities is able to respond, away goes his
stock and he loses everything. The Com
stocks have recently been declining at a
terrible rate, and such persons as have
held stocks of both sections have in many
instances been compelled to sell their
Bodies, which they did own, to make good
their margins on their Comstocks, which
they only partially owned, and which they
we're in danger of losing outright. The
occasion for a bear movement was very
suspicious, and it was taken advantage of
to the fullest extent. The question was
Yesterday on ~everybody's lips: "Has bot
tom been touched YETI" The street quota
ions this morning would indicate that it
had, Bodie and Mono each showing an adj
vance. II the 'bottom had dropped out"
of the Bodie, il would be different. But
with the splendid showing which the mine
now presents, the people who invest at
present prices can not fail to make big
money, in our opinion.
