A LIVE ENTERTAINMENT.
Z. ID. P1ummer AZ Eureka Hall To.
Night.

Mr.. U. b. Plummer, the celebrated elo-
cutionist, and one OF the best Protean ar
lists to-day on the boards, will appear at
Eureka Hall tomorrow night. Although
appearing single handed, he gives a bet
ter and more enjoyable entertainment thar
nine-tenths Of the theatrical troops travel
ing about the country. As a reader and
actor, as a delineator and as a merciless
poker OF fun at the peculiar dialects, Of
peculiar people, in peculiar sections and
countries, he is without a living equal.
his entertainments run mainly to the hu-
morous side Of things, though this is fire.
quently varied by recitations from stand
ard authors, where the most touching sem
timentality and pathos are called into play.
We have known and been laughing at Mr..
Plummer's oddities for twenty years. To
know him. or to see him, in public or pri-
vate, is to laugh. His humor is simply ir-
resistible, and it crops out all over the
man, and on all occasions. In a word, the
entertainments Of the gifted Plummer are
rare intellectual treats, which never fail to
please the refined and cultivated audience.
From a volume of press notices, as large
as Webster's dictionary, we select at ran
dom the following from the Enterprise:
The Opera House was crowded last night,
on the occasion Of the entertainment given
by G. B. Plummer, the elocutionist and de-
lineator Of humorous character. Selections
were given from T. Starr King, Lonsfellow,
Mark Twain, the Danbury News man, and
others. There was Yankee fun, Dutch fun,
Irish fun, American fun, and fun OF all
known and popular kinds-Old Mother

telegram from the mines at Eureka, New,
states that the weeks run was So, 600,
from 900 tons OF ore. During the week
the refinery produced dore bars to the
value OF $3s, 900. The manager tFeb. 4th)
reports that operations have been carried
ON with the usual regularity. In the drift
from the rise in the back Of No. Is chamber
the ore is narrow, but the seam is regular.
The 500 north from the bottom of No. Is
has been drifted 40 feet, in very fine ore.
The 500 west from No. IL chamber is also
more favorable for ore than for some time.
The chambers are all looking very well.
No. IL has mush improved. No. is is
opening out a very fine body Of ore they
have crosscut in the lower part Of the
chamber, and find the ore to be SO feet wide,
with ore still in the end of the crosseut.
No. IS chamber is looking well in the
southern end. The furnaces are in good
working order, and smelling an average
quantity Of ore. The machinery, both in
the mine and smelling works, is in good
working order.

Hon. Geo. W. Baker will lecture this
evening before the Methodist Improvement
Society. He has chosen for his theme,
backbone" and the public may rely upon
it that he will build an interesting dis
course around the word. A great many
things may be said on the general subject
of Backbone" For instance, he might
tackle Rutherford's vertebra to the detri-
ment of the latter. Then, thfre are the
ladies' who haven't the " backbone " to ap'
pear in public, unless dressed in n newest
and freshest fashionable style. Politicians
who nose around to catch the popular drift
of things before having the independence
aud manliness to plant themselves ON a
given proposition, might also be raked with
profit. But, maybe, Mr.. Baker wiii MT on

BONANZA CONSOLIDATED.
A Promising Property. Eligibly
Located.

The Bonanza Consolidated is located adj
joining to and Immediately southeast Of the
Jackson mine. The property consists of
four parallel locations, of 1900 feet each;
namely, the Star Of the West, Nos. l and 2,
and the Pride of the West, Nos. l and 2.
There is not a more favorable location any
where in the district, to our knowledge.
The immense ore bodies Of the Jackson are
known to trend in the direction of the Bon
aDza Con. The ore also crops to the sur
face at several points within the limits Of
the Consolidation. A main shaft has been
put down to a depth of $50 feet, from which
point 300 feet of drift has been run, eneoun-
tering the most encouraging prospects.
There is a good house over the shaft, and
everything is in shape for the development
Of the property. There can hardly be a
doubt that with capital the mine could soon
be placed on a permanent paying basis. 1t
is such a property as a strong company
should possess. The owners are W. II.
Mayor and Daniel Vaughn, who have pros
ecuted the work of development about as
far as poor men can reasonably go.

1.-THE FIFTEEN PUZZLE."
Extent or the Craze In Eureka and
the Possibilities of the Game.

A very respectable minority OF the peo-
pie Of Eureka have been seized with the
fifteen puzzle craze. A prominent mine
superintendent has spent three s~leepless
nights over it. His friends are growing
apprehensive of the health of his mental
faculties.
Two prominent business men have not
been home to their families for forty-eight
hours. They have a wild, haggard appear
ance. and are still porting over the blocks.
Physicians, lawyers and other profess
sional men have it bad. Nearly every Office
one visits shows up the inevitable box.
Lawyers turn away fat clients, and the doc
tors tell suffering patients to wait just
five minutes"
As to the saloons and other places where
gentlemen OF leisure congregate, nothing
else but the !" fifteen puzzle" is TO be seen
or heard about. Among the sports ;"
some pretty heavy betting has been in.
dulged in on the possibilities Of the puzzle.
II is needless to say that those who nave
staked their money on the proposition that
the little blocks could not be made to tally
with the prescribed rules OF the game have
invariably come off winner. A gentleman
Of Eureka Of a mathematical turn of mind
has been figuring on the number Of moves
and combinations Of which the fifteen
blocks are capable. The result is astound-
ing. He brings out a possible Of 9S0,047
27S,000 moves. Allowing a person one
second for each move, and it will require
92, 900 years to work ont the puzzle on a
single line or combination.
The puzzled may therefore TAX warning
from this timely calculation. Life is too
short. No mau now living will continue
in this vale Of tears long enough 10 make
a N thousandth part OF the move neces-
sary to complete a single game Of the " if
teen puzzle"
