| AIMS OF THE ENTERPRISE.
1t is proposed by the originator5 OF
the scheme to give five Grand Concerts
in Nevada, with the tickets of admis-
sion fixed at $40 apiece, and each ticket
to entitle the holder to Il chance in the
biggest lottery scheme ever devised in
America. For each concert the mana
gers pay into the State Treasury S50,-
GEO cash, and give bonds for the amount
before a single ticket is sold. The five
concerts will net the State quarter of
a million of dollars, and materially re-
duce the rate Of taxation. Out Of the
net proceeds Of the sale of tickets the
managers distribute one half in prizes,
and divide the balance with the State.
Thus the Stale will realize $3.50, 900, the
managers $250,0O0, and the ticket hold
ers $5OO,0G0.
CONSTITUTIONAL OBJECTIONS.
1t is held that there are Constitutional
objections to this scheme. The bill
signed yesterday repeats all laws con-
iiicting with the new law, and the fact
that the scheme will enrich the Urea
suIy, lessen taxation, and make times
infinitely better in Nevada, will crush
all caviIlng objections on the subject,
The law in Nevada is copied uer5ati3n
from the California law, and under this
law similar bill was prepared and the
Merchantile Library paid for out of the
proceeds of the scheme. A bIackmail-
ing suit was brought to stop the lottery,
and Judge Morrison, now of the Su-
preme Bench, threw the suit out Of
Court.
WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM.
Of course, there is nothing in the bill
anyone to invest in tickets. |
You pay your money and take your
choice. Agencies for the sale Of the |
tickets will be established in every |
State of the Union, and any one who |
doesn't think that they will go off like |
hot cake, knows nothing of human
~ ture.
THE CONCERTS.
The five concerts will either be given |
1t Carson, or Carson, Eureka, Virginia
Jity and Reno, to be determined by
he projectors. It is proposed to secure
he best musical and vocal talent that
an be produced in America, and the
concerts will eclipse anything ever at
empted on this coast, not, perhaps, in
,oTnt of noise and numbers, like the
lay Festival affair at the Mechanics
ion of names will be grouped on the
programmes that the county has ever
cen together.
THE PROJECTORS
If the colossal scheme embrace the
aading men of Nevada. The Board of
directors is not yet complete. but will
e in few days, and when published
lere will no longer be the slightest
oubt regarding the success of this S
reat enterprise.
A THIEF ARRESTED. - Tuesday
Deputy Sheriff I4ebo arrested Thomas
Grown, the man accused of stealing
aptain d. w. Avery's shotgun, rifle,
evolver and hunting knife, from the
teamer ''Gov. Stanford" at Lake Big
II, on last Friday night. The man 1
1s,s arrested in HOover's saloon, at EN-
ire, while engaged in a game of cards, {
here he was recognized by John {
.itchie. The stolen articles were found s
n his possession. Late yesterday after {
Don he was brought before Judge Cary {
or an examination, during which he
tated that his name is not Brown, and
nat he has not the faintest idea why t
e was arrested. The examination was c
ontinued to 2 O'Clock to-eay, when ,
lore of the prisoners identity will be
rived at. In default of $300 bail he

HIS BIRD HAD FLowN.-Yesterday ,
heriff Scott, of Alpine county, arrived +
/ this city, for the purpose Of taking
oraine, the man accused Of outraging
I'd robbing Mrs. Thompson, back with 1
i'm. He was a very much Disguised S
ficer when he learned that the man $
ad been set at liberty, because the pa I
ers sent from his county were so de-
ctive that Lorraine could not be held
4 them. Sheriff Scott returns to his
ONE to-day, and will not likely make b
.rther effort to secure Lorraine.
