The Dramatic Club will afford the low
ers of smusements a rich treat at the Opera
House tonight, for they will produce ''The
Lady Of Lyons" in a name that cannot be
surpassed off the metropolitan stage. Ev-
cry attention has been paid to detail, and
the piece will be magnificently mounted.
1na scenery will be almost entirely new,
some OF which has been painted expressly
for this evening by Mr.. Laycock, and in
cludes q street scene Of Lyons In every way
worthy OF that artist. The cast Is the
strongest n yet presented by the Club,
and comprises quite an array Of talent.
II was with regret, however; we learned
last evening that Miss Hobart was COM
PEELED TO give up the part OF Widow Mel
motto on account Of a severe cold, which
affected her speech to such an extent as to
make it almost ~lnaudible. Unable to find
any one else upon such short notice, Mrs.
+. w. Cole, who has been the leading spirit
and life Of the Club from the start, has
kindly consented to undertake the arduous
role. and we have no doubt but that she
will do full justice to 1t. Mr.. vanderlieth
is cast directly opposite to anything he has
heretofore assumed, and will give us a vii
famous impersonation that requires energy
and force. Miss Daisy Wendell is happily
placed as Madame D~eschappelles, and will
portray the proud dame in her usually eff
fective way. OF the other leading charac-
ters we have already spoken, and the minor
o are also in good hands. Up to last
night about 100 reserved seats had been
sold, which insures q good house.

Outrageous. If True.


The San Francisco Stock Exchange saws
If the reports which are telegraphed from
Eureka concerning the explosion in the
Richmond mine, near the Albion line, are
correct, il would seem about time to do a
little ju~dicious hanging up there. 1t is
hard to believe that civilized beings would
be guilty Of what is boldly charged against
the Richmond managers, but there seems
to determination for it. Hitherto the squab-
BILE between the two companies has had
rather a ludicrous side to it. In order to
retain possession Of their ground the AL
bion people resorted to the effective but
harmless expedient Of smoking out the
enemy-that is, the draft in their mine be-
ing toward the Richmond, they built fires
and filed the connecting drift with smoke
to keep the Richmond people out. Not be-
ing able to endure the smoke, but yet de-
termined to get possession of the enemy's
position, it is claimed they drifted under
meath, and charged the drift with four
boxes Of giant powder of so pounds each,
and two kegs Of black powder Of % pounds
each. This they touched off with the in
tent to blow the Albion fortress sky-high.
Fortunately they were not as near the lat
ter as they supposed, and nobody was
killed, though FIVE Of the Albion miners
were severely injured. This is the story
as it comes. OF course the Richmond peo-
pie will say that they had no intent to do
injury. that the explosion was accidental
and all that. But the question arises what
were they doing with their giant powder in
that significant proximity to the Albion ?
The whole business calls for a rigid inves-
guilty parties. That kind of mine warfare
had better be checked at once and effectu-
ally, and, if necessary, by the aid Of a
hangman's moose and a lamp-post.

From a member Of the Silver State ORA
matte Club We learn that a full house greet
cd their performance on Wednesday even
Ing and everything passed off as agreeably
as expected. Before the entertainment
commenced the Centennial Guard Band
discoursed several well. selected airs In front
OF the building, while indoors during the
evening the Ruby Hill orchestra presided,
and gave some really very creditable music.
The play was Enthusiastically received by
the audience, who bestowed q liberal
amount Of applause upon the company.
Inc same cast will appear at the Opera
house on Saturday evening. For that oc-
casion also the Centennial Guard Band has
volunteered its services. The orchestra

ton Of Frank Riegelhuth.

Artesfau Wells.

The Silver State notes the fact that an
association of farmers has been organized
at saltwater, Churchill county, for the
purpose Of experimenting on a~rtesian wells.
Churchill county is possessed Of a consid-
cradle area OF excellent land, which, should
the wells prove a success, will make it n
Of the best grazing regions in the State.
1t claims that Humboldt is nov the second
stock raising county in Nevada, and with
a number of those wells in Buena Vista,
Grass, Humboldt, Paradise and the many
other broad and lengthy valleys within
her boundaries, would soon come to the
front and rank as first. An association
similar to that in Churchill 1--WE doubt not,
would meet with encouragement and as
sistance from every business firm in this
county and so soon as fairly demon
strated that flowing water can be obtained
in our valleys, the number Of wells would
fully equal the demand, and Humboldt
made to " blossom like he ose." And so
would many portions Of Eureka county
should a number Of wells be sunk here.

What marvellous things are railroads
We have before us, says the San Francisco
Call, a good-sized daily journal, which has
reached its forty-sixth number, well filled
with advertisements, from the Arizonian
town OF Tucson. From the time Of the
Aztecs down to the advent of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, this humble frontier vii
lage rested in a somnolent state, its quie-
tude never disturbed unless the Apaches
made a descent upon it, which they fire.
quently did, killing men, and carrying
off women and children. There were no
inquisitive, prying persons in those days;
no colporteurs, no solicitors. The Mexi-
can wrapped himself in his serape, lit his
cigarette, and sat down under the shadow
Of an adobe building to smoke. Then
there was blissful ignorance Of the great,
~throbbing, struggling and busy world be-
yond. Not even a dream crossed the mind
Of the simple villager that such a thing as
a railroad had an existence. What must
have been his surprise when he heard
the scream Of the steam whistle and saw
the locomotive come dashing into the
town The primitive obscurity Of Tucson
had departed forever. Henceforth the
spirit of enterprise will control its affairs.
American civilization will usurp the sleep
ing inactivity Of the native resident, and
though by birth, habit and training he is
untitled to keep time with the march of
progress, he can at least look on and be
filed with wonder that such things can be.

The Grass Valley Free Lance has the
following: 1t is stated that in Eureka,
Nevada, last Saturday morning, the
ager of the Richmond mine caused a ter
rife explosion to be made at a bulkhead
of the Albion mine. There is a dispute
about the ownership of some ground be-
tween the two companies. No one was
killed by the explosion. The Miners
Union took the affair in hand and estab-
lished peace, or at least caused the declara-
ton of a truce. The attention Of the
Sacramento Bee is called to the action of
the dangerous classes who are mining way
out in Eastern Nevada, far away from the
civilized and enlightened Sacramento val
ley. And those miners will establish and
maintain a peace, even if they have to
hurt somebody in attaining that end"

A Pleasant region.

Notwithstanding the fact that Nevada is
at present undergoing a period Of stagna-
tion in all business circles, says the Can
delaria True Fissure, it has the consola-
ton Of knowing that its Winter climate is
far superior to that OF almost any region
of the United States. OF course there are
periods of storm and muggy weather, but
sunshine and bright days are the general
rule. The air is pure and clear, and the
sky Of a deeper blue than even in Italy's
famed land. While the people east and
west Of us are suffering from floods
and frost the denizen Of sage
land Is enjoying a balmy Winter.
Many Of our people are decrying their hard
luck, but II they will stop and think for a
moment the fact will be apparent to them
that, although their pockets may be light,
they are enjoying. blessings in life which
plethoric purses cannot wholly equal. The
death rate in Nevada is small. In no other
land does man abuse himself so constantly
and persistently as in Nevada. He usually
lives to a good old age, unloss cut off by
accident or violence, and really almost
makes good the boast Of the old timer that
no n dies-they just dry up and blow
away.

The holders of Belcher stock may derive
a little hope from the new as conveyed in
our dispatches this morning, that the low
grade ore in the mine is about to be ex-
tracted and worked, but it is poor consola-
ton to the miners who are expected to
knock o dollar a day off their wages. Sha-
ron, who controls the Beleher, is a sly dog.
In making this move he kills three birds
with one stone; he gets his revenge in on
the miners for his defeat in the late cleo
ton, encourages the holders Of the stock to
pay further assessments and gives his mills
an opportunity to go to pounding again.
1t is just likely that he will succeed in his
designs. A tremendous pressure is brought
to bear upon the Miners Union, concert
ed nc doubt among all the mine managers,
and a foothold on the south end of the
Comstock will be the entering wedge for a
general reduction Of wages along the lode
to Utah on the north. The fact that most
Of the miners Oh the Comstock are married
and have families, and therefore cannot
get away, is seized as an opportune circum-
stance for the step taken, and a desperate
struggle between capital and labor may be
witnessed in our sister town before the
matter is settled.
