II soLDENEs.
They Close Their Season Amidst
Enthusiastic Plaudfts.

Enthusiastic Plaudfts.
The Soldenes closed their season Of six
nights and a matinee last evening. The
during the week have the company ap-
peared to better advantage. Lecocq's
beautiful opera, La File de Madame An
got, :" with its chain of melodious music, gave
the troupe an opportunity to show their
full strength, and it was brought out with
a thoroughness that must commend the
company to the good wishes Of every lover
of good music. The we prima donnas,
Soldene and Stella, were singularly happy,
the former as Mile. Lange, a favorite
actress, and the latter as Clairette Angot,
the market pet. Both entered into the
spirit of the play, and determined to re-
form the much dreaded " last night /" of q
Eureka audience. They were seen at their
best, and it would be a difficult matter to
say which of the nightingales was accorded
the most applause, though, perhaps, II we
strained a point, we might find that Stella,
who had the first real opportunity to ex-
hibit her lively and piquant nature, was
slightly the favorite. She is the embodi-
ment Of opera bouffe, and as effervescing as
champagne. Harry Allen, the stage man.
akCAt 0RPG0ACa vi LAG AAbt Ahl a eaC
company as ~Larivaudiere, the head Of the
Partisan police, and made a favorable i'm
preston. Mr.. Allen is an actor Of consid-
able merit, and his rich baritone would
have made o hit had ii been heard oftener.
Messrs. Campbell, Marshall, Appleby and
Hersee were admirably cast. Mr.. Campbell
as Ange Pitou, the revolutionary poet,
was particularly excellent. The dance
LA P~arisienne," by the nimble
ballet, was n Of the features
OF the evening, and as Miss Dug
gan's slipper flew into the audience
in her attempt to kick the chandelier over
head, there was q shout that would do
credit to a political meeting. The lady is
a much better evolutionist than vocalist,
as was evidenced in the first act, when she
broke down in the pretty revolutionary
song, and which was the only mishap dur
ing the evening. The season, altogether,
must have been a successful one, and we
hope the company have no cause to regret
their coming TO Eureka.
Both Miss Soldene and Rose Stella were
seriously indisposed on Friday evening,
and before the "Chimes" commenced 1t
was almost deemed advisable to postpone
1t. However, the ladies rallied, and sus-
tanned their respective characters admlra-
bly,, though the omission Of the pretty
melody, when I'm By Thy Side" by the
lovely Stella, in her scene with the Mar
quis in the haunted castle, was very much
regretted. The elimination OF the song
accompanying the clink of gold. usually
sung by the miser, was also felt, but this
sons is merely an Interpolation, and not a
part Of the opera. 1t is, however, quite
appropriate, and the audience would have
been pleased to hear Mr.. Marshall sing it
in his inimitable way.

Our Reasons.

In fact. we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit Of
those who want to know how we sell Goods so
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways in the market, and are thoroughly con-
versant with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to it from childhood, aud therefore
know the texture Of any piece Of Goods. and
market all the time know when they see q
piece OF new goods, and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can bs pnlmed OF
on them as being of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash we get a certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell SO cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash, thereby lessening our expenses. II we
had to keep . set OF books we would need
more help. And again, re do not believe in
the theory Of charging good customers with
the debts Of others to make good their losses.

THE LoCAroRs OF ALBION.
A Letter from Messrs. Davis and
Williams. Settling Captain Potts
Right Before the Public.

EDITOR SENTINEL: In the Leader OF the
9TH inst. Fair Play" asserts that Mr..
Potts located the ground now known as the
Albion for himself and other employees OF
the Richmond Company. Mr.. Wren has
told this story so many times that he prob
ably believes it to be true. and as this
story Is generally believed to be true, and
will be damaging to the reputation Of Mr..
Potts as . mining man, I feel in duty
bound to state the facts.
All the Albion ground was located by
John n. Williams, James Parker, Judge
Doolan and W. H. Davis. on the 10th day
Of March. 1878, and I am positive that
Mr.. Potts Knew nothing Of the where
abouts of the locations until about the
goth Of the same month. He knew that
ground was being located by the parties
named, but did not know where it was sit
uated, neither did he know the names Of
the claims. The first intimation that
Potts had Of II was from Mr.. Probert
himself. on the street in Eureka, when
Potts most emphatically denied knowing
anything about it. Now these are the facts
in the case, and the public can Judge
whether Potts, while Foreman Of the
Richmond Mine, located the Albion ground
for himself and other employees or not.

A Couple Of Deadheads

A couple Of gentlemen, well known all
over the State, are thus plAyfully dished
up BY the Reno Gazette and Tuscarora
Times-Review
Sheriff Fitch Of Elko county was a pas
lsnser on Thursdays train, homeward
bound. and Sheriff Kyle OF Eureka went
West yesterday. These two sheriffs are
something like Mackay and Fair, when n
sat home the other Is at the western end
o. the State, and when he comes home the
other Is sure to be on the next train bound
West. They used to travel together, but
Kyle got sick Of the business, a. he had to
put up all the coin $50 he saysl, while
Fitch tells the same story about Kyle
Reno Gazette.
The truth Of the matter is. neither n
Of them ever put up a cent, and they travel
sseparstely because experience has taught
.nern thai they can stand OF the conduc-
,ols and station keepers better single
handed than in pairs.-Times- Review.

Denny Mann is to take place to-day. Put
ting it in its mildest form, 1t will be q

The officers should use every exertion to
prevent 1t. The battle ground is unknown
to the SENTINEL, though it is stated that
the parties. accompanied by a swarm OF
spectators, will cross the line into White
Pine County. In that case our officers
may be powerless to stop the disgraceful

HOW MINES ARE WORKED.
Ball Nye the HumOrist In the ssLa
annie RONmarAmg."


az wish you would tell me all about
how men get gold and silver out Of a mine,
my dear, said a lady in East Laramie the
other evening to her husband. as he peeled
off his coat aud sat down in three chairs
for the evening.
"well, what kind Of mining do you
want to hear about gold or silver, quartz
or placer, deposit or defined lead 2"
"Well, all Of them briefly, I want to
know whether they scrape off the gold
from under the side Of the ground, and
wash the dirt of in the creek. or how
is It ?"
"Well they don't scrape it off the un-
der side Of the ground exactly. There you
are in error. In placer mining they have
to collect the dust and pan it out with a
gold PAN"
"oh they nave to use a gold pan. do
they ? That must be what makes mining
so expensive. Does the pan have to be
solid gold?"
"No. 1t isn't made Of gold. 1t is
simply to pan gold; hence the name. In
quartz mining the prospector first finds
the float, and tracing it to the lead, he be-
| gins to dig for the purpose Of ascertaining
how extensive it is, and what it will assay"
"Ohl that is it. I thought they first
bored into the ground with q pay-streak
until they found the shaft, and then they
| drifted for the assessment, and when they
| found that, they Just put q blast in the in
| dications and sailed the dump. Now 1T
| seems that you don't do that way. You
| follow up the micacious slate till you
strike the bias fold. Then you see II you
can find q color that matches with the
copper-stained trilobites, that you pros
pect and you"
"No, / must stop you there, you are
| getting a little off the vein. You proba-
bly, have the right idea, but you are using
terms that are not correct. After they get
| the wall of rock on the dump and pinch
out the night shift, then salt the contract
and blast the vertical chilblain. Then
they drift for the blossom rock, baled hay
and poverty till they strike the ~varicose
vein. After that it is a short job to put on
the bias folds and sample the stockholders
Where the bituminous duplex bisects the
brocaded porphyry and scallops the gouge
with cross-eyed shirrings and bi-carhonats
Of bilious colo interlaced with MORE an
tioue wads OF gray copper and free milling
erysipelas. This IL not always the case
however, for indirectly or inversely, per
haps more, or sometimes less, as the cas-
may be, and still we might or might not
according to whether we did or not, bu'
also besides. if not always, as directly de
scribed, perhaps, yet l wouldn't be posi-
tive Of ANYTHING which might be doubtful.
Then he laughed q cold hard laugh, AM
went to bed. If husbands would Away
explain these things to their wives, hoy
much pleasanter our homes would be.

Exaggerated Stories and what In
Thought of Them BY a Nevada
Jourual-


Thought of Them BY a Nevada
journal.
The Tuscarora Times-Review publishes
the following: "The Wood River craze is
beginning to modify, and rational and
truthful account are commencing to reach
us from that section. A number Of per-
o n have returned to different parts Of
the State, and their accounts are by no
means OF such q character as to warrant
the tide Of emigration which is rushing to
that unprospected but greatly bepuffed
region. Nearly all Of our exchanges OF
late contain statements given by returned
Wood Riverites, which are anything but
hattering descriptions Of the country.
Many of them denounce it as a downright
fraud, while all agree that nothing has
been yet developed which ~justifies the ex-
element in regard to it. There is prob
ably a large extent Of country in that
vicinity which contains mineral, but that
it can be proftably extracted has not yet,
and perhaps never will be demonstrated.
No ore body has been penetrated to a
sufficient depth to test its permanency,
nor are there any mills or other reduction
works to prove that the ores can be sue
cessfully worked. These things should be
considered by persons who are rushing
there upon the reports Of interested par
ties and those who have lately arrived
there, and who gain their impressions
from the statements Of persons who have
mining and town property to dispose Of.
They should remember that the snow has
been SO deep up to the present time that
no one who has gone there this season has
had an opportunity to form an opinion Of
the wealth Of the district, from personal
observation. The excitement is at least
premature, and probably the end will show
that it is unwarranted. It is all very well for
people who are out of work or business to GO
there to take their chances at prospecting,
but for miners or mechanics to leave
steady work to risk the uncertainties Of an
INFESTED region, is the hight Of folly.
All the reports further agree that business
OF all kinds is overdone, and for merchants
and other business men to go there and
invest their means in a place that is likely
to be deserted inside of a year, is taking
chances not compatible with ordinary |
prudence and sagacity. To those who are
out OF work or business and who risk
nothing but the loss of their time and
personal expenses the chances are perhaps |
a good gamble; but to all others, accord |
ing to the latest reports, the country
offers no inducements for immigration"

THE UTAH WESTERN ROAD.
Its Construction to Eureka n Set
tied Fact.

tic F0ct.
There seems to be no doubt that Eureka
is to have an eastern outlet by rail. A
dispatch published in the SENTINEL a few
days ago stated that all necessary arrange
ments as to funds, etc., bad been made
with eastern parties. The proposed road
is called the Utah Western. The Salt Lake
Tribune editorially says that arrangements
have at last been made for the immediate
construction of the road, which are on the
most substantial and satisfactory basis;
that is to say, the parties now interested in
the enterprise are convinced that it will
prove a good paving investment; have
plenty OF ready money, and are deter
mined to use it in pushing the road to
completion as quickly as possible.
The route which was to have been by
Deep Creek will be changed to q better one,
further south, by which Eureka can be
reached from Stockton, the present term
linus, with 800 miles of track. A survey
ing party was to start out yesterday to
make a thorough examination of the pro-
posed route. and it is estimated that an
accurate idea Of the country can be OBJ
tanned by the surveyors in thirty days.
The positive statement ia, that in sixty
days, ninety days at farthest, the dirt will
be flying in the direction Of Eureka.
