ADJUSTMENTS

The Lilliputians had a crowded house
at the Metropolitan Theater, when 1.-The
Pupil in Magic" was given for the last
time. The audience was as thoroughly
pleased as was that of the night before,
and accorded the accomplished little peo-
pie unStinted praise. There will be no
matinee to-day, though it has been re-
quested, but it is not deemed wise to at
tempt it. Tonight the Lilliputians make
their last appearance i'll The Burgo-
master Of Pinneberg," a four-act bur
IeSque with music and dances by the bal
let corps. The story is that Of five
dwarf artists who have been playing in
circus and have been i'll treated by the
director, Garlic. The dwarfs wish to
escape from the petty tyrant. They hear
that in Pinneberg a fortune awaits peo-
pie who are less than three feet high, if
application is made to the BurgomaSter
by given date and hour. The smallest
of the group Franz Ebert while doing a
turn in the ring purposely falls from his
horse and pretends to be killed. The
director runs for physician, while the
dwarfs, pretending to carry out the body
to make ready for a funeral, make for
Pinneberg. The Burgomaster, a dwarf,
is with his daughter rejoicing that no one
has appeared to claim the legacy
left for people under three feet
in hight. Just. then two Thes-
plans Miss Goerner and Miss Jaeger
arrive and meeting the circus refugees.
learn of the Pinneberg bounty, left by
the will of the sister of the Burgomaster
Johann Wolf. The midgets all agree to
put in their claims when the will is read,
disguised as pilgrims. The Burgomaster
is astounded by their appearance and
seeks to be rid of them in order to appro-
pirate the money. The circus director,
arriving III pursuit, conspires with the
official to arrest the dwarfs and has them
brought before the military head of the
district, who discharges them. The Bur
gomaster then refuses to produce the will,
and the little people search his house for
it. One dwarf (Franz Ebert conceals
himself in a statue and overhears
the plan of the Burgomaster to burn
the will. and its place of hiding
is thus disclosed to the secreted dwarf
who finds the document which, it turns
out. directs that the bounty shall be di-
vided between all dwarfs who appear.
The Burgomaster then yields to neces-
sity, the fortune is divided as the will
directs, and results in several happy
marriages. Several changes in scenery
will be made; most of that in the Pupil
of Magic" not being appropriate was last
night taken down and packed. The bur
lesque is. said to be very humorous and
to show the little people to the best ad-
vantage. They are remarkable lot, and
certainly have dramatic capacity that be-
lies their physical being.

WASHINGTON, July ia bulletin re-
lating to the production of gold and silver
in the United States during the calendar
year OF 1889 was issued from the Census
Office to-day.
The bulletin shows that the production
of bullion during the year 1889 was: Gold,
l ,590,S69 ounces; United States coming
value, S32 $50, IA. Silver, 81 1854, ,S51 ounces;
United States coming value, SGT. 1896, ,9SS.
In gold this is nearly twenty y-eight per
cent. of the worlds product, and in sill
yer, forty-one per cent. The bulletin
says that the number of gold and silver
mining claims or locations" commonly
called "mines," in the United States is
practically beyond computation. The
names of nearly one hundred thousand
such claims or mines were received by
the Census Office. but upon limiting the
investigation to producing mines, mines
working but not producing, mines tenn
porarily stopped but which had pro-
duced, and upon tabulating only such
mines as made production returns or la
Dor statistics, the list was reduced to 6,0O4.
The expenditures during the year, in
Guiding wages, value of supplies, etc.,
were S63 45l ,136; the total value of mining
plants, S465, $3.50, $50, made up of buildings,
railroads, machinery, underground inn
provements, mine supplies and cash and
estimated value; mines exclusive of the
above items, 1898, l94, ,S2l; value of mills
and reduction works, $50, 1862, ,7I2. Total
value of mines and works, S4S6, 323, ,42S.
Of the 6.004 mines on which returns of
production on labor statistics are made,
266 are reported idle and LOCO are re-
ported working, but not producing bull
lion; rs are producing over $500, COO worth
of bullion; Al are producing from S25G,000
to $500, 900; l07 are producing 100000; ten,
$250,000; % from 900 TO 100000; 437
from $4,000 to $4,000; 1,40S from $4,000
and 1,6l0 less than 81, 900.
From statistics it appears that the labor
employed in the actual production OF
precious metal Is better paid and more
productive in fact than in any other in
dGstry thus far reported in the bulletins
issued by the eleventh census. The aver
age earnings of all persons employed at
the gold and silver mines (57. .635) was S725
year, while the average output per man
amounted to 81, ,723 year.

in position to know, that the Excelsior
Mining Company contemplate the erec-
ton of large dam on the old bedrock
channel leading from their mine at
Smartsville to Timbuctoo. The object of
the dam is to impound the debris from
the mine with view of operating said
mine at times by the hydraulic process.
The dam is to have sufficient capacity
to hold the debris for several years, and
after it has been completed the company
will ask the proper authorities to pass
upon it. and If satisfactory will ask for
modification of the injunctions now upon
them. At present the mine is being
worked by the drift process, which is not
so rapid, and far more expensive than
the hydraulic method. The company
hopes to satisfy all parties interested that
the debris can be safely kept from the
Yuba River.

MOSS-GROWN CLAIMS.
Some More Ancient Indian War Bonds
Bob Up Sarenely.

Bob Up Serenely.
The perennial Indian war bond ques-
ton is up once more. w. S. Sawyer, the
owner OF a detached coupon from one of
the original bonds of 1851, brought a
mandamus suit against Controller Col
gan for its payment, he having declined
to cash it. The suit also embraced an al
legged claim founded on war bond is
sued under the Act of 1852.
The case was argued before Judge Van
Fleet yesterday, Attorney General Hart
and A. ;. Barham of Santa Rosa appear
ing on behalf of the Controller, and A. S.
Freeman and George +. Bates appeared
for the plaintiff.
The point contended for by the Con-
troller is that if the Legislature did make
an appropriation to pay the bonds, the
claims have been barred by the statute of
Limitations; further, that they are uncon-
stltutional because they exceed the limit
of 100000, and lastly, that payment of the
bonds of 1852 was made conditional on
Congress not appropriating money there
for.
The Controller claims that Congress did
appropriate money to pay the bonds, but
that the holders thereof, through negli-
gence, or otherwise, failed to avail them
selves of the benefits of the Act within
the proper time.
The arguments were made and the case
submitted.

partnership with another leper in the
laundry business.
The partnership was dissolved and he
stole back here, bought out a laundry and
