No Fun in Being a Princess.

d" The position Of the Princess Of Wales
is too exalted a one to permit Of much
social enjoyment, yet has not the splen.
did potentialities Of reigning royalty,
The Princess, too, is peculiarly unosten-
tatious, and evidently finds the magniG-
cent loneliness Of her position an actual
trial. To be young and beautiful, and
idolized, and yet to be shut out from
most forms Of social amusement, can be
by no means delightful. Yet there are,
of course, very few houses, even among,
those Of the highest nobility, to which
the Princess Of Wales can 60 as an in
vited guest. And when she does 90, an
awful state hedges her, arounda She is
passionatels fond of dancing, yet no
gentleman can ask her to dance. She it
is who signals out the parsonage whom
she desires az . partner, and, when she
stands up to dance, all other dancers
must sit down. After circliDg around
the room some half q dozen tines, she
pauses and sits down to rest, and then

turn, but as soon as she stands up
again they must stop. This solitary

The COIyiIIes.

The following account OF the opening OF
the company at Sacramento fully explains
the merits of the troupe that will appear
at Eureka Hall on Tuesday evening next I;
The Colyille Burlesque Opera Company
began a weeks engagement at the theater
last evening, to a very large house in every
part. The company consists Of some thirty
performers, the major portion being pretty
women, who seem peculiarly adapted to
the style OF burlesque the company pre-
sents. The chief Of these are Miss Eme
Roseau, who is very progressing, sings
prettily, and acts with a quiet grace and
archness that make her a ~favorite at once;
Rose Leighton, Kate Everleigh, Ella Chap
mand, Ada Lee and Carrie McHenry, all
attractive in person, ready in stage BUSH
ness, graceful and generally good in the
burlesque line. Besides these there are
some fifteen other female members OF the
company, who fill the parts allotted to
them well. The men OF the troupe are
not so numerous. but they are all good
upon the stage. Roland Reed is a low
comedian Of excellent parts. is an inimit-
able mimic, and brimful of humor. II. Il.
Graham is a grotesque actor, quite the
equal Of Reed. while A.. w. Marlin, in the
same line of characters. while less a
mimic, makes up for it by comical nimbla-
ness and humorous acrobatic efforts. One
OF the best features Of the combination is
a very good. we'll balanced male quartet,
composed Of Messrs. Amberg, Frail, Adair
and De Smith. The costumery of the Col
Vile Troupe Is very rieh-some OF 1t
dazzling. The choruses of the company are
pleasing, vivacious and perfectly familiar
with their scores. The company processes
TO entertain by the presentation Of light,
musical, mirthful and grotesque pieces,
played by handsome and graceful women
and capable low comedians and character
actors, and il keeps good its profession in
letter and spirit. 1t entertains, and that
is the best evidence of its capability. Last
evening il presented the burlesqne e~xtrava-
ganza of cinderella. or the Little Glass
Slipper" 1t was given with precision,
with light, tripping and mirth'ul music,
with just enough OF the extravagant IN
acting, and just enough OF localizstion in
the text to make it thoroughly entertain
ing. The costuming was unobjectionable
for the bu~rlesque business, the text free
from anything liable TO ofrnd, and the
whole performance one which tends to
drive dull care away and afford the auditor
two hours and q half Of complete relaxa-
ton and merriment. The pronounced
manifestation Of pleasure on the part Of
the large audience last evening evidences
the popularity OF this kind OF entertain
ment. and the favor with which the Col
vile troupe is received here.

ACCIDENT IN BODIE.
Two Men Killed and Dine Danger
Ously Wounded.

The Bodie News states that on Monday
the IL O'Clock shift went to work timbering
the shaft at the Maryland Con. The men
composing the shift were Pat Brannan,
Thomas Fitzsimmons and Edward Fitz-
patrick. About l o'clock one of them went
to the surface for tools, and at 8 O'Clock
the shift going on shook the rope as a sig
nal for the boys to come up but received
no answer, and they star ted down the
shaft. Arriving at the bottom, 80 feet
below the timbers, they found the multi
ated and ~lifeless form Of Edward Fitszpa-
trick, and the mangled remains of Pat
Brannan and Thomas Fitzsimmons, both
alive, but helpless. Patrick Brannan died
about 4 o'clock, and Thomas Fitzsimmons
is not expected to live. 1t appears that the
accident occurred through the timbers, to
which the swing ropes of the scatfold were
secured, not being securely wedged up.
The weight of the men and the timbers
they were setting up being on the scaffold,
drew the upper timbers from their fasten-
ings, and precipitated men and timbers in
one copglomerate mass 80 feet to the bot
tom Of the shaft, crushing the back part OF
Fitspatrick's head and tearing away the
skull, breaking the left leg above the ankle
joint, and completely crushing the bones
to the knee, besides being otherwise man
gled. His deal h must have been ~instanta-
neous. Patrick Brannaa, who died short
" after being brought to the surface, had
his leg crushed and his face severely
bruised, skull fractui ed, left shoulder
broken, and was a most pitiable sight.
The extent Of Thomas Fitzsimmons' in
juries were not ascertained when the
News went to press.

Artesian Wells i'm nevada.

The Battle Mountain Messenger says
that Mr.. G. A. Paul has contracted with
the Nevada Central Railway Company to
sink an ~artesian well 900 feet deep at the
corner of their machine shop n round
house in Battle Mountain. He commenced
operations last Monday morning, and has
attained a depth Of l44 feet. The first 40
feet the auger brought up gravel with a
little clay; the balance Of the LA feet went
through clay, sand and cement, the last
being pretty hard. A slight flow Of water
was encountered at a depth Of 100 feet,
and at the present depth, IA feet, the we'll
is flowing a larger stream than any in Bat
tie Mountain. The sinking Of these wells
shows conclusively what can be done when
capital, combined with machinery and
skill, are brought to bear upon the arid
and waste land of our State, and We hope
that Congressman Daggett viii succeed in
having a bill passed by the present Con-
gress to help us in this work. Successful
irrigation means increased production and
population.

Mr.. John S. Capron showed us yesterday
one of the finest specimens that we have
ever seen taken from this district. 1t was
from the Silver Common mine, and showed
a large amour of free gold, to say nothing
OF the silver. 1t is reported that the COM
pany has 20, 900 tons Of ore in sight, that
has not been touched. The greatest draw
back to the property is that they have no
good wagon road to the mine, and to make
one would cost a large amount Of money.
The company has been offered $4,000 for
the property, but 500. 900 will not buy it.
It i a much better prospect to-day than
the Richmond Company paid s25O,00 for
when they purchased their present prop
erty.

SLADE.
Account of the observation-disclosures



The Bodie Free Press of Sunday gives
the following account of the shooting of
Charley Slade: Last night about half-past
IL o'clock William Withrow shot and prob
ably fatally injured Charles Slade in the
Comstock saloon. The particulars Of the
affair are as follows: For some time past
an ill-feeling has existed between the two
men, the cause OF which is not known but
to the intimate friends OF the two men.
Last night they met in the faro rooms of
the Comstock saloon and had a long talk.
They both seemed indignant at each other.
Friends interfered, and the matter seemed
quieted for the time being. Withrow left
the faro room, which is separated from
the saloon by a screen door. He passed
out a foot or two and turned. Previous to
coming out, and while in conversation with
Slade, he remarked, keep away from me
now. or I'll give you the gum"
Withrow stood for a moment or two with
his gun in his hand, when Slade came out,
whereupon the former pushed him back
and, placing the weapon close to his right
side, fired. Slade staggered a little and
stood in the middle of the faro room per-
fectly straight, with his hands in his
pockets. His face was calm. He remained
in that position for a moment and, throw
ing up his hands, reeled and fell into the
arms of his friends. He vas placed on a
table and medical aid summoned. With
row was taken charge of, and on being
taken ont ON the sidewalk he made his
escape and disappeared. As be is well
known all over the country it is more than
likely he will not elude the officers.
The victim, Charles Slade, is a sporting
man, we'll known in Virginia and other
towns. Bill Withrow has been a resident
OF Bodie for two years. Some time ago he
kept a saloon. He has frequently been in
the employ OF Wells, Fargo d Co. as a

WASHINGTON rERRrroRY.
1t f. Not . Land of Milk and
Honey.

A goodly number Of Eurekans nave the
Washington Territory fever, and to such
we would commend the following extracts
from q letter published in the Silver State,
written by one of a party Of six or eight
persons, who left Big Meadows for the Ter
ritory last fall. The writer says:
/ do not intend to become a resident OF
Washington Territory, but will return to
Big Meadows again, unless l find some
more inviting place on my way back. This
is, probably, a good country for those who
like it, but it does not suit me, by any
means. The winters are too cold for me,
and you think you have winds in Hum
boldt, but if you were here for awhile your
mind would be disabused Of that idea. 1t
has been blowing a regular gale here for rs
days, without cessation day or night, and
there is no prospect OF its letting up. And
that is not all. 1t will rain. snow, thaw
and freeze within "a hours. There will be
a deep snow then a south wind melts it
off. This is followed by another now and
a freeze. This is what | call a severe win
ter, but the people here say it is milder
than usual. Big Meadows is not such a
bad place, after all, with all its drawbacks;
/ wish / had stayed there, and now l Am
satisfied to return.
There is no demand for labor here, and
wages are very low.
As a grass-growing country, this cannot
be excelled. The whole country looks like
a large meadow, and I think it is better
adapted to stock raising than anything
else but OLD settlers say the grass gets
short, sometimes, and the winters are so
severe that stock die by the hundreds.
Cody and Blackfan are going to stay
here. They look on the bright side Of
things; but, for my part. | want to live
where l can get out OF the house in winter
without freezing. A gentleman who has
resided here for seven years, assures me
that there has been seasons in which he
had to break ice in August to get water,
and every other year his crops were xii lied
by frost. He sold his ranch the first OPP
%portunity, and was very glad to get rid OF
it. About two feet Of snow has fallen here,
and when it gets off, l start back to Hum
boldt.

The Reno Journal says there is consid-
cradle talk among the merchants OF that
town Of the need Of a protective associa-
ton. The creditsystem is nearly worn out,
and business men are disguised at the end
Of the year when they realize that all Of
their profits are on the books. There are
people who run a bill at one store, and
then trading with another /;
make the rounds, managing to stand off
everybody for a year or two, and finally
Jump the town. Reno is not alone in the
possession Of people Of this class, for Eu-
reka undoubtedly has its share. An ASSOC
citation. as is spoken of, might prove OF
benefit here, and serve to protect the mer-
chants aud community against a class of
constitutional dead beats.
