CATION of their brethren from Carson,
and a procession, headed by Cara's
band, was formed and marched to
Turn Verein Hall. Here liquid re-
freshments were disposed of, and
friendly sentiments exchanged, after
which the procession marched up to
the Treadway grounds. Here the
usual picnic exercises, target shooting,
racing, dancing, ETC., were had. In the
afternoon the gymnastic exercises on
the horizontal and parallel bars were
given, and formed very interesting
feature of Sundays amusement. Dane
ing in the pavilion was continued up to
about the time the excursion train left
in the evening. No disturbances oc-
cured at the picnic, and while the bars
did a lively business there was very
little drunkenness, and the policeman's
was gone. The picnic may |
not have been grand financial success,
but for an occasion of real enjoyment it
was successful in the highest degree.
The first prize, gold watch, was Won
BY Philip Flick.

The Conkling Copper Mine.


This is the name of an old mine re-
located during the present year by t.
j. Tenant, a. B. Boles and Peter
Lightle. 1t is in Mason's Valley, and
about six miles south of the celebrated
Ludwig copper mine, of which latter
Senator John P. Jones and Evan
Williams are the principal owners. The
Conkling has been prospected sufficiently
to satisfy it's owners that it contains,
like its illustrious namesake, plenty of
the genuine metal. (Half breed jokes
about "coppers burnt" "brass," ETC.,
are interdicted( The owners leave
here in few days to work their mine,
and being practical copper workers, and
not, as Tom Tenant says, operating at
or between the king and trey, we may
expect tefore many months roll around
to hear good reports from the Conkling.

ReparattOn CheeFfully Rendered.
A few weeks ago the editor of this
paper made small coin advance to
Indian Charley, the latter promising to
return from the Lake in short time
and satisfy the loan with fish return.
Days heightened into weeks, suspicion
whispered that that Indian had be-
trayed his trust, and we lost all conf
dence in the noble red man generally.
The columns of the APPEAL about this
time contained wall on the weakness
of Washoe humanity, and in a mood
verging on the desperate, we said several
unklnd, very cruel things about Charley.
But see how unjust we were. Yesterday
he returned with. q Well filled sack of
trout, just taken out by hook and line he
said and we shall never doubt his
word AGAIN., and with the air of a
prince he told us to help ourself. And
we did. The trout was of excellent
flavor, but the relish was greatly i'm
paired by the knowledge of the injus-
tice we had done our friend Charley.

Hazel Kirke.
: On Thursday evening next, 14tl
inst, the Madison Square Company viii
: appear at the Carson Opera House il
Steele Mackaye's great comedy-drama
"Hazel Kirke." So much has beer
said about this wonderful dramatic pro
duction that there is nothing new tt
offer concerning it. 1t baffled the critics
of New York, one of the dramatic
papers Of that city giving it a weeks
run, and prophesying financial disaster
to the management. But it ran at the
Madison Square Theater well into its
second year, and while the Bohemian
mind kept wondering how the play
managed to draw at all, the theater
was nightly being filled with charmed
audiences. It may not be generally
known, but it is nevertheless fact,
that "Hazel Kirke" under another name
c'An Iron WilPO was played over
seventy times in interior journeyings
before it was produced at the Madison
Square Theater. The Mallorys expended
$50, 900 on "Hazel Kirke" before the
curtain went up on it the first time be-
fore metropolitan audience. 1t has
now had run of over seven hundred
nights-its seven hundred and seventh
representation was given at the Califor-
mia Theater on the Fourth of July-and
in the language of a New York paper,
ait is likely to rival Tennyson's Brook
in its capacity of going on forever" 1t

original cast, Misses E.fie Ellsler, Sgd

WasH1Karas gossip.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-There has been
considerable talk in the past of ex-Gov.
Davis, of Texas for postmaster general,
and some of his friends quite confidently
assert that he would get the position, but
so far as can be learned from the best IN
formed sources, there is no basis for such
confidence. Efforts were made to obtain
for Davis the endorsement OF all represent
ative republicans of the south, and to put
him before the president as the unanimous
choice of The party in the south, but these
efforts were not successful. On the con-
tlary. they partook more of the nature CT
a failure. Southern republicans were di
vidtd in preference. Many adhered to
Lonostreet, some were for Settle, a few for
Hunt, some for Davis and not few prom
inent ones openly declared pref
erenee for Filley, of St. Louis. The
result has been that the movement has
probably benefited Filley, If indeed he
needs any further assistance. Prominent
southern republicans went to the President
and assured him that the appointment OF
Fllley would give more general satisfaction
TO the party in the south than the selection
of any other man. Gen. Beal will, from
present indications, probably be Secretary
of the Navy, as the President is inclined
to gratify Grants wishes as to one Cabine1
place.
The Peruvian Minister here has received
a confirmation of the report that exDic
tator Pierola left Peru IS days ago. His

before to secure an honorable and lasting
