THE FUTURE OF MINsTRELsY.
Hayerly,s General Agent Discourses
on His Profession.

j. NJ. Mcnamara, general agent fol
| Haverly's Minstrels, was summing himself
yesterday afternoon in front of the Valley
| House Office, when DEMOCRAT reporter
spied his gallant form, and noticing his
apparently Eliminating mood, decided te

penny for your thoughts, Nc"
81 was just thinking" said Nc, upon
the coming future of minstrelsy."
''Just think aloud, then" suggested the
reporter as his ready pencil slid from the
back of his ear.
cit is now six years since I first entered
the bard business. have seen its rises
and falls, its booms and reverses, yet
think l never saw brighter outlook than
at present Our business in San Fran
cisco the past eight weeks was wonder
full, and the prospects here are equally as
good"
81 notice that there are fewer bona
fide negro minstrel troupes of late years.
What is the cause? ?" asked the reporter
first place the simon-pure banjo negro of
slavery days is disappearing. They have
drifted partly into the channels of the
negro dudes, which is an efeminate libel
on the former happy-hearted plantation
production. Then, again, the great bulk
have been educated and lifted above their
former sphere and have been assimilated
with whites in business pursuits. In the
second place, the negro minstrel never
was success except as novelty. He
was machine. If you understood him
and wound him up properly you could
put him on the stage, and if nothing
broke down he might go off all right, but
he has no ability for extemporaneous
work, and was not pliable The imita-
ton is far better than the bona fide
article"
"What part of the country do you travel
in?"
"All over the world-have been in
Europe the past four summers. We
played in England, Ireland and Scotland,
and met with great success. A frst-class
minstrel performance takes better in
Europe than any other class of amuse-
ment. We 60 east from here, stopping at

we are to appear in the Walker Opera
House: We could not get the time we
wanted at the Theatre, another attraction
having contracted for it, and Manager
Mckenzie could not get them to change,
and it was impossible for us to change.
OF course we could not go by your city,
as it is the best show town in the West.
We hope your amusement-goingc citizens
will lay aside any personal feeling they
have regarding the choice of theatres,

tunity they will have of seeing this world

" Called Back"

The Grismer-Davies company play a
three nights engagement at the Salt
Lake Theatre, commencing Thursday,
their first presentation being an adapta-
ton of the famous novel, "Called Back"
The Sacramento Bee says OF this COM
pany and this piece: The Grismer-Davies
company played to a good house last
evening, producing, for the first time in
this city, the popular drama of "Called
Back" being Mr.. Grismer's own adapta-
ton of Hugh Conway's famous novel;
The play is intensely interesting, abound
ing in exciting situations and incidents,
and presenting bits of beautiful senti-
ment. The plot is very strong one,
and in parts extravagant, but sufficiently
intricate to be absorbing. The whole is
far removed from vulgaritv. The play
was presented last evening with appro-
pirate scenery, and was we'll mounted.
The company proved to be of even
strength, the leading characters having
a better support than could have been
expected. Mr.. Grismer's Gilbert Vaughn
was an excellent characterization, well
sustained throughout. "Isn't she pretty ?"
was the whispered comment that followed
Miss Davies first appearance as Pauline,
a role which she presented in a thoroughly
pleasing way. The audience was Kept
deeply interested until the close of the
performance

A BURGLARS Bad Break.

Last night about II o'clock George
Margetts' green grocery store, on First
South street, was burglarized. Mr. Mar
gets has been accustomed to put his
days receipts away in a safe place in the
store, but on Saturday evening, as two of
his brothers accompanied him home, he
considered it safe to take his money with
him. Evidently some one had seen Mar
gets put away his money and has been
watching an opportunity to rob him, but
as there was but hall dollar in the
drawer, the thief was not paid for his
trouble. He entered by a back door,
which was either left open or which he
unlocked: anyway, it was found unlocked
this morning. Nothing in the store was
disturbed or taken.

AN EXPECTED CRESCENT BOOM.
Everything in Shape for a steady
Production from This Great
Property.

MIR. Josh Nichols, the rustling stock
holder of originally the Rebellion, and
more recently the Crescent mine, has just
returned from the Uintah mining district,
Summit county. The Crescent tramroad,
which has proved to be very heavy in
vestment. is now being utilized about half
the distance to the mine, and, with favor
able weather, will in short time be COM
pleted. The locomotive which has been
placed upon the tramway works like a
charm, and one of the most beautiful
sights about Park City is to see it climb
ing the stupendous nights of the noun
tain in performing its labor of construc-
ton on the road.
Great expectations are INDUCED in as
to the quantity of ore which will be
brought to the U. P Railroad for ship
ment as soon as the track is completed
Several thousand tons of ore are reported
to lie at the dump ready for transportation.
Some dissatisfaction is said to exist re-
garding the company's management of
affairs, but the president has gone forth
and within a few days under the business
hand OF Josh Nichols the rough corners
will be smoothed and the success of
the Crescent in the future will hardly be
second to the Ontario.

fifth level, the ore streak opened out to
width OF five feet, sample of which as

Where Lead Stands.

Lead has maintained its strength fully
and fairly the past week, says the Den
yer Circular, and shows no indications
whatever OF weakening. The contracts at
st: Louis and Chicago have been unus-
ually large. Even the present statistics
90 not show any supply increasing up to
the point of demand and there seems a
very near possibility OF importation be-
coming necessary in early 1886, unless
this price largely increases our output or
calls into market the entire Richmond
surplus. The lead situation has not been
SO strong in years.

Merely n Suggestion.

The Mexicans gently, but firmly object
to be Mormonized. We suggest to the
various Apostles, Evangelists and Bish-
ops of many wives that there is a great
unoccupied territory within the Arctic
circle, which is open to settlement and
presents the best field for the ice business
to be found on the globe. The climate
encourages their peculiar institution, for
fuel is scarce. Why not 60 there and
grow up with the country?-Er.

How to Consult DR.. Foote, ST., by Mail.

DIR. Foote, Senior, author of "Plain
Home Talk, F" =" Medical Common Sense"
etc, etc., would say to those who would
like to consult him by mail that they can

way to save time. Receiving such printed
matter the correspondent can describe
his or her case fully and direct it to the
doctor, in New York. DR.. Foote is
successfully treating all forms of chronic
diseases, a speciality to which he has de-
voted thirty years of study and practice.
Evidences of his success can also be had
by addressing Box Ala, as above, but all
letters of consultation and orders for
remedies should be addressed to DR.. d.

bara. Cal, is in town. He comes to
attend the stockholders meeting of the
Crescent Mining Company.
Rev. T. C. Tiff came up from the city
Saturday, to deliver one of his lectures

Two grand affairs take place during the
coming week, the Congregational Concert
and the Ontario School ball. Both affairs
are being managed by competent and ex-
perienced hands, and each in its way will
be treat.
To give some idea of the amount of
money that is paid out in Park City
every month, it is only necessary to say
that the payroll Of the Ontario Company
alone amounts to $42, 900. Besides this
there are the DAILY, Sampson, Crescent
and Anchor mines, each working hun
dred men on the average, and the Marsac
Mill working nearly $50.
Messrs. G. E. Olney, H. J. Hollister,
L. H. Whitney and = Shelby arrived In
town Wednesday, from Grand Rapids,
Mich. These gentlemen constitute the
executive committee of the Crescent Min
ing Company, and are here for the pur-.
pose of attending the annual meeting OF
the stockholders of the company. The
meeting will be held in Salt Lake Wednes-
day.
Only 6sS, $50 pounds of ore were re-
ceived this week at Mackintosh's samp-
ling mill. This amount was divided in
the following lots: Sampson, 21O, 27O;
Ontario, 369, 40; DAILY, 1O9,51O. Quite a
falling off compared with last weeks
statement, yet not quite enough to cause
a decline in the price of city lots. All the
mines are working full forces of men, and
the amount of ore that is taken out is as
tonishing.
