Eurekans a Lasting Service.
Odd Fellows lot, which was covered with
the ruins of their stone edifce by the fire
last August, is hardly recognizable in its
new dress.
AS we have noted in an article not many
days ago, Dick Ryland, Joe Winzel and M.
D.. Foley secured the lot and ruins, and pro-
ceeded to fill a need which has long been
ieit by our citizens in erecting thereon a
theatrical and music hall Of sufficient seat
ing capacity to accommodate that class of
our society who desire to enjoy life as best
they can while they linger in Eureka.
About the middle of last October, 1880,
the title to the property was perfected and
the plan of the building submitted, sub
Ject to revision as the supervisors of the
construction-Messrs Ryland and Winzel-
should see fit. They Immediately put q
large force OF men at work removing the
debris and stone out Of the way of the
foundation builders and the troubles of
procuring building materials we're soon
overcome. Storms and cold weather in
terfered somewhat with the rapid finishing
OF the work, but there was no intimation
that the house would be ready for occu-
pancy before the first of January, 1881,
and by that date it will be in good shape.
BAL MAsQuE.
The Eureka Social Club are making
extra endeavors to fill the hall on New
Years Eve with the grandest procession of
masqueraders ever seen in Eureka. The
builders will have the dancing room and
spectators galleries entirely in order, and
the only lack to the perfect completion OF
the structure, inside and out, will be q few
OF the finishing touches.
THE BUILDING
Stands upon a lot 100 feet deep by A
frontage upon Main and Buel streets; its
walls are three feet thick; are built of fire.
proof rock, with fire walls Of brick, and an
iron front.
The theater is built with as little wood
work as it were possible to put inside, and
in case of fire there are many means of
exit therefrom.
Well heated, well ventilated and brill
iantly lighted, this building will appear
tomorrow evening in its true worth and
value to our pleasure-loving people.
Not a foot Of standing or sitting room in
the hall can be put down as useless, for the
stage can be seen from any part Of the
auditorium or gallery.
OFFICES AND LOOMS.
Entering the hall, upon the left hand is
situated the ticket Office; two Offices over
head and fronting Main street; in the rear
and meath the stage are dr~essing-rooms
and
RUBE EGLEsToN
Has the south half Of the basement floor,
cellar, etc., for his extensive grocery stock.
Rub has the best house for his immense
trade which he could procure in town. 1t
consists in a large amount of store-room
and his display-room is large enough for
any business. RUDE moved in a portion of
his goods yesterday.
The floor for the dancers is 55x40; the
stage is 22x40 and the gallery will seat 300
people comfortably in chairs. The gallery
is supported by rods from the best and
strongest truss-roof ever constructed on
the same sized building in Nevada. When
the stage is furnished with its variety of
scenery and the curtains are hung with all
their brilliancy Of coloring, we prophesy
that there will not be handsomer, heater
or more convenient theater, opera house or
hall in the West. The pub~lic-spirited gen.
tlemen who have undertaken this enter
prise will have the pleasure of hearing the
assertion on Friday night next from the
multitude who will attend the masquerade:
"Well done, good and faithful" They
have erected 8 monument which will be
lasting and appreciated for years to come
by our society people,
