Fun mt Piper's.

All who love fun should witness
the performances now being given
by Tony Pastors combination at
Piper's Opera House. The audience
and hearty manifestation of approval
which greeted the troupe on Wednes-
day night must have convinced Mr..
Pastor that his efforts to please had
not failed, and the houses since that
evening have been an Endorsement of
that nights performance. There will
be matinee this afternoon, and the
engagement will close this evening.

form.
About o o'clock yesterday morning
Silas Kane, a miner employed at the
Atlantic Consolidated, left the Inter-
national Hotel, in company with
J ohm r. Jones, TIMES compositor,
Kane stopped in a millinery shop
nearly opposite the Savage works,
where he saw his sister, and spoke
few words to her in low tone. He
then babe her good by. and added:
"You'll hear from me in about an
hour" Continuing up South C street
he soon got to drug store, went in
and purchased bottle of chloroform.
for which he paid four bits. While
the clerk was getting the chloroform,
Kane asked:
"That isn't strong enough to kill
man, is it r.
YES" replied the clerk: ait is
very strong"
Kane and Jones then left the store.
and the latter, suspecting his friends
intention, tried to get the bottle
away from him but failed. Being
unwilling to cause scandal he de-
sisted, but kept close watch of him.
Arrived at the junction of the Day
ton road with C street, Kane suddenly
stepped away from Jones, and, be-
fore the latter could interfere, he had
drank about half its contents. Jones
snatched the bottle away and ran for
a physician, while Kane walked to
his parents residence, at Fort Home
stead. A powerful emetic saved his
life, but he is very sick.
This is Kane's second attempt on
his life. He is young man barely
81 years old, and no cause is known
for the act.

THE SOUTH.END MINES.
A Wrong Notion Dispelled-Bunch.
es Of Ore Better Indication
than Barren Quartz.

In an article on the appearance of
the 135O-level of the Justice mine,
which was published in the Enter
prise OF last Thursday, Dan de guile
advances the following theory, which,
as will be seen. is in direct opposi-
ton to one entertained for some time
past by many so-called experts:
The indications are that the Jus
tice folks are nearing point where
the ore heretofore scattered through
all parts OF their vein concentrates.
Persons are too much inclined to say
that, though rich ore Is found in all
parts of the Justice and adjoining
south-end mines, there is nothing
there but lunches. that no extensive
body will be found. This is all a
mere talk--a notion that has got
into the heads of the masses. The
finding of lunches and seams. Of
rich ore in all directions shows the
ground to be strongly mineral bear
ing, and il is whimsical and NONSENSE
cal to prefer to such section of the
vein, one in which nothing has ever
been found but vein matter-a mix
ture of porphyry, clay and quartz
known as favorable formation, :"
We are justified in our belief that
the scattered deposits of ore now be-
ing encountered will presently be
found to concentrate and form a
valuable ore body, by the fact that
such concentrations of the ore in
that portion of the Comstock have
already been seen in the Justice. To
90 back no farther than the 1850
level it will be remembered that there
was found on it continuous streak
of ore of varying width that was
nearly half mile in length that
was followed through the Justice
ground to the Alta line and was the
cause of the Alta-Justice war.
We believe they are now nearing q
point where another concentration
and larger one Judging by the
great number of patches and seam.

and width of the vein) will be found

Don't Forget TO.MOrrOw's Picnic.

The Turner'S have their picnic at
Treadway's Park tomorrow and,
aside from an unusually jolly time,
they offer quite number of elegant
prizes for composition, besides which
a handsome silver tea set is to be
given away. Every lady on the train
will receive number, and the
holder of the ticket drawing the

is so varied that those who are not
fortunate enough to win prizes will
have more than their moneys worth

the EAGLE of the 9Th saying that at the
late County Sunday School Convention
a resolution had been passed to form a
normal class at different places, and
committees were appointed to visit each
place named and assist, etc, etc. The
appointment for the Cartwright school
house was on the eve of the 9Th, but we
did not get our EAGLE in time to meet
