THE MINING EXPERT.
The Fellow That He Is, hut How TO
Improve ON Him.


Some plain and palpable truths are enun.
ciated In the following comments Of tho
New York Daily Stock Report: The min
Ing expert. as rule, Is an incompetent.
His success in writing up mine does not
depend upon his acquaintance with miner
ology, geology or mining. His work means
what 10 called manipulation. An honest
scientist makes but Q shabby expert. The
Stock Report is right 80 far, but whether
1t could fnd men to know and tell honestly
what they have found out under the earth.
Is another question that we are not pre-
pared to answer. Mining is for the getting
Of money. and has heretofore been looked
upon as q gamble In which tricks OF all
sorts are admissible as in war. This ia bad,
but II is. Says the Report:
The Robinson swindie Ia still the chief
topic Of interest in mining circles. The
Daily Stock Report has long urged the abb
solute necessity Of some plan being de-
vised that will do away with the mystery
regarding tho value Of mining properties,
and its advice Ia now being appreciated.
Mining swindles would be impossible but
for the prevailing ignorance as to tho
merit Of properties, this can be largely
done away with by the appointment OF ex-
perts to examine and report to the Ex-
changes. Good properties will be greatly
benefited by such reports. while bad ones
will 90 TO the dogs as they deserve.
Something Of the kind must be done
speedily. or the mining stock business in
this city will be entirely destroyed. II II
is not expecting too much, we would like
TO see the time when a mine Superintend-
ent will not feel insulted because the Di-
rectors send some ore to inspect the mine
We trust the Robinson people have made
suitable apology to Ewing for sending
Ashburner TO examine the property. 1t
seems incredible, but is nevertheless true.
that State Line No. and 8 has sold,
within few months, at higher valuation

valuation of Ontario is S5.250. 900 at

A RECENT MUSICAL AND LITERARY EN-
TIRTAINMEET

! EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN An exceedingly II :
teresting literary and musical soiree was
given at the Sacramento Seminary on Friday
evening. December 18th. The entertainment,
original with the senior class, was an entire
departure from the stereoLyped affair, and re-
fleets great credit on the training of the
school which SO develops the inventive and
reflective faculties of its students. Having
recently returned from the East, where edu.
cational institutions are so highly regarded, it
is not too much to say that there is no East
ern city that would hot feel proud Of Young
ladies school of the character of Sacramento
Seminary. a most charming prologue
gracefully recited by one of the young ladies
introduced the colloquy entitled THE Pro-
gressive Scramble. the prominent character
istics in the development of which were orig
inality, invention, adaptation and wit. The
dress and decorations accorded tremendously
with the different scenes. Act |. illus
trated astronomy by the Quincy system.
Young ladies attired in colors, and bear
ing appropriate symbols, represented the
various planets. Illuminated by col
ored lights they formed a surprisingly
beautiful tableau, as each in her relative po-
sition revolved around the sun to the time OF
distant music, thus representing Pythagoros'
dream of +" the music of the spheres" This
scene elected rapturous encore. Act H.
represented II. II. Bancroft in a museum in
dulging in solilcquy before him stand
the statues of those ancient historians, Her
odotus, Zenophon and Plutarch. In response
to his earnest appeal the marble lips of those
fathers OF history open and reply to his in
terrogations, sometimes in words of truth,
and again with fancisul answers. An ener-
getic modern reporter enlivened the scene
with his usual persistence and innuisitiveness
Act Ill. represented esthetics, inclu ling |
painting and French embroidery. In this
act the dress, decorations and language were
quite up to the requirements of the utterly

Kensington and Concord found themselves
rivalled, and the audience were lifted above
the realms of gross material to those of es-
thetic sublimity. The stage was decorated in
unique and harmonious style. The curtain,
ornamented with crayon etchings, was fine
example Of modern decorative art.
The music, both instrumental and vocal,
was Of high order. The soprano solos by
Miss Fleissner, recently from the CINCINNATI
Conservatory, were particularly admired.
Her voice is Of fine quality, highly cult
waited, aud her singing is marked by volume.
sweetness and pathos. Again and again she
responded to enthusiastic encores. Tire ia.
strumental solos and duets rendered by the
young ladies showed grace and power of exc
cution, combined with just appreciation of
the spirit of the great masters whose themes
they interpreted. Taken as a whole, the en-
tertainment was grand success, as the large
and delighted audience abundantly testified
