THE NEW REVENUE COLLECTOR.
Editor Skillman, of the Eureka

Official. Visit.

Mr. A. Skillman, the recent appointee
to the Office of Revenue Collector of the
Utah and Nevada Revenue District, ar
rived in the city from Eureka, New, this
morning, and is quartered at the Walker
House. A DEMOCRAT reporter being in
the lobby of the hotel when Mr.. Skill
man came out from lunch, sought an in
PRODUCTION to the gentleman and had a
few moments conversation with him.
Having been newspaper man himself,
Mr.. Skillman was easily drawn into con-
versation. In answer to few inquiries,
he stated that he had come to
Utah to inspect the Offices here.
He could say nothing about any
changes in the office of deputy
collector for Utah. Mr.. Hollister is at the
present time sick, and Mr.. Skillman will
not be able to see him till next Monday.
Our new revenue collector is still in
the newspaper business, being connected
with the Eureka Seminal He will re-
main here during next week for the pur-
pose of attending to some especial bust
ness connected with his office. The
DEMOCRAT extends a welcome to Mr.
Skillman and wishes him a pleasant visit

Emma Nevada ON the Comstock.

1t was royal reception rendered to
Emma Nevada in Virginia City on Thurs
day. Her speciafcar Nevada" was de-
tached from the train at Carson, says the
Virginia Chronicle, as it was found by
measurements that it could barely pass
through the Homestead tunnel at Gold
Hill. AS the train pulled into the depot
Emma stood on the rear platform of the
last coach and saluted the crowd by
waving her handkerchief and smiling
graciously, and was greeted in turn by a
general clapping of hands. Bill Mooney
was In waiting at the plat
form with an open landau
drawn by four blacks glittering
in gold-plated harness. After alighting
from the train the songstress was escorted
to the carriage by W. E. Sharon, and
accompanied by her husband, father and
two members Of the troupe, entered and
was driven south on E street up Taylor,
to Z, south to Sutton avenue and thence
to the line residence of Superintendent
Sharon on North B street, where she will
be guest during her stay in the city.
On the route down G street Nevada sa-
luted the crowds that lined the sidewalks
by waving her handkerchief, and pre-
sented charming picture sitting in the
open landau arrayed in superb travel
Ing costume. A splendid ovation was
given her in the evening at the Opera
House, as every seat had been taken land
1t is estimated there were 1000 people
assembled to welcome her to the Com
stock.

A New Method Of Attaching.

Yesterday afternoon Roberts & Nelden
the druggists, were surprised by an
officer coming into their store and attach.
show case for unpaid city taxes. Mr.
Roberts was not only astonished, but
very indignant that such proceed.
ing should be instituted against
him without any warning.
10 DEMOCRAT reporter he said that he
had supposed all of his taxes were paid.
as he had asked his partner, Mr. Nelden,
if such was the case, and Mr.. Neiden in
formed him it was. As Mr. Nelden has
never been here during the tax collecting
season, he thought when he paid
the Territorial and county taxes that
the whole thing had been settled up, and
SO informed Mr.. Roberts. However, the
city tax was not paid, and furthermore.
Roberts d Nelden were not notified that
their taxes were due. The affair shows
a big blunder on the part of young Tav
Ior, the city collector, and exposes a mean
and contemplate action on his part in
attaching the showcase.
The present collector is son of John
Taylor and was given his position for that
reason, and not because of the will of the
people.
As Mr.. Roberts has paid the taxes now.
the attachment will be dropped.

High Prices for Lead.

Lead has taken sharp upward turn,
and verified fully that our current pro-
duction is below our demands, and that
We are at the beginning of a period of
high prices for lead The Denver Cir
cular says the presumed "bear move
ment" at New York proved to be only a
cub and not full-grown bear, for its
strength gave out at the first
encounter, and at last accounts
no one could find hide nor hair of
it. To the contrary, the strong demand
had absorbed all that was offered and
hungrily demanded more-but the
more" was not forthcoming. At New
York sales of about one thousand tons
were made at $4.20, 4.35 and $4.45 for
December and January shipment, mostly
common lead, and about four hundred
tons of corroding at $437@4.45, while
spots were extremely short and taken
readily in small parcels at 81. 4O@4.5O. At
st. Louis and Chicago the situation is
equally strong, and lead has been sold
there freely at $4.10@$4 Is, while the
cable reports a strongly advancing mar
ket in England, SO that the lowest i'm
ported lead would cost $4.75, New York
duty paid, thus marking the present limit
of the possible advance here, and we re-
peat that miners can work diligently and
have no fear of any slums in lead.

Another Of M. B. Leavitt's specially
combinations is billed for three nights a

mencing on Wednesday, the 9th, and in
its line promises to be a great attraction
A leading Eastern paper says of the
troupe:
The Double Specially Company. under
the management of Mr.. M. B. Leavitt,
opened at the matinee at the PEOPLES
Theatre to good-sized house. The per-
Torrance was repeated in the evening to
an audience that completely filled the
theatre, standing room being at pre-
MUM long before the curtain rose. The
company embraced well balanced selec-
ton OF unique performers, whose varied
pecullarltles as combined make very
enjoyable entertainment. There are no
particular stars in the troupe, but each
performer is fully up to the average in
the speciality for which he is announced.
Mr. Joe E. Sullivan and Mr.. w. F. Car
roll created large share of the fun of the
evening, and the bicycle-riding of the
Martell family was really excellent. The
Musical Kings, as they are announced,
comprising Messrs. Wood, Bersley, and
the Weston Brothers, are really refined
musical artists, and their performance
was deservedly applauded. One very
pleasing feature was the singing of La
Marseillaise and the Star Spangled Ban
ner, introducing the Bartholdi statue of
Liberty by Miss Mollie Wilson. TilFs
Marlonettes present a remarkable perfor-
nance OF Automatic, exceeding anything
that has yet been seen here. A very
