Actresses Oressex.
Sew York Dramtic Ecws.l

New York Dramtic News.l
Mr.. DAILY has this season inaugur-
ated a system in his theater which has
thus far, proven more satisfactory to
himself, and certainly more so to the
ACTRESSES. He insists upon the ladies
in his company dressing richly and ex-
pensiyely. But he does not this sea-
son pay anything like the salaries he
was wont to in his old Fifth Avenue
Theater days-salaries which brought
him TO ruin. 1t would be impossible
for the ladies of his company to dress
as they do and live upon the salaries
Mr.. Daily pays. He therefore not on
ly does not make them pay a part of
this expense, but furnishes them the
cost Of their costumes out and out.
In this manner he cannot only tell
them what be wants them to do in his
plays, but what he wants them to wear.
Thus far this system. which is a nov
city, has worked admirably. and in the
end the manager is probably not out
Of pocket by it. And we see no such
anomalies as the lady who may be
poor in the play dressed richly, while
the noble lady is fixed up in the com
mOnest Of stuffs. In the society play,
where millinery goes for so much, it is
a necessity to have that millinery per-
feet, in accord with the parts.
Mr.. Wallack, we understand, pays
half the cost of his ladies' dresses
where they are expected to be rich.
But actresses are not always above
making the most out oftheir managers,
aud costuming is not always what Mr..
Wallack would have us believe it is.
At the Union Square the actresses
furnish their own costumes, but the
salaries are so high aud the runs so
long that they can we'll afford to do it.

The Sierra NHolada.

San Antonio Tex j Express, Dee. II
Mr.. NJ. II. Rardon and Mr.. r. NJ.
Petit, Of Austin, have just reached
this point from the mines, and their
experience may be of interest to some.
These gentlemen left Austin on the
9th of October foF the Sierra Mojada,
via San Antonio and Eagle Pass, reach
ing their point Of destination on the
DIST. Setting busily to work, they
surveyed the various mines and the
country about, and gathered specimens
Of the ore. They report that about
one hundred and eighty mines have so
far been denounced, that is, up to
the date OF their departure. which was
about four weeks ago. Only two snail
lurnapces had been erected, however.
As to the water, which had bcen
reported scarce, they say there is an
abundance for all present purposes.
The population qftbe village that has
sprung up at the mines embraces about
500 Mexicans and 30 Americans. OF
the mines already denounced, many
can be purchased at from 800 to $500.
The Blanca is deemed to bo Che rich.
est, There is a great lack of hotel
accommodations at the mines, and a
good boarding house is needed badly
aud would pay. Beef tallow is used
in place Of lard for cooking purposes,
and is hard to g t at even a cents per
pound. There is no bacon or ham TO
be had beyond the Rio Grande. No
American tobacco can be obtained al
the mines, and it would bring almost
any price from the American lovers Of
tb,e weed who are congregated there.
Tho Impression that iris dangerous 10

Is erroneous. Nobody was killed our
