c. J. Price, Of Lead, a practical miner
of extensive mining experience, has ac-
copied the superintendency of opera
tons upon one Of the prominent gold
mines of South Africa, at a salary Of
$4,000 per year, and all expenses. 1t
has been q notable fact from the begin
ming of extensive mining operations in
that remote region that, the utmost care
has been observed in the selection Of
thoroughly competent men to direct the
operations of mining enterprises, to
which the marked success achieved is
mainly due. Had the practice obtained
of placing the charge Of these mines in
the hands of incompetents, who didn't
know q mine from a milk ranch, as il
has, to an alarming extent, in the early
history of the Black Hills, the glowing
accounts relating to the enormous gold
output of that favored country would
doubtless have been reserved for the
readers Of a future generation.

A Pleasing Entertainment.

The Brownies Club, a social organiza-
ton recently formed in this place, have
just reason to be proud of the marked
success of their innitial entertainment
at the opera house on Friday night of
last week. The masquerade ball given
under their auspices on this occasion,
was conspicuous for the large number
of participants, its exceptional manage
ment. the excellence of the music fur
nished, and the copious and unbroksn
flow of social enjoyment prevailing to
the end.
Among the characters represented by
TIE hundred, or more maskers present,
every nation upon the earth seemed TO
be represented. The four seasons, each
bedecked with emblems indicative Of
their distinctive character were there.
Night, in its darkest phase, was noted
upon the spacious floor, in marked con-
trast with morning resplendant with
her radiant light. Kings and peasants
were mixed in the misty mazes, enjoy
ing the festivities Of the occasion upon
the same social plane. Theteacher and
tailor, the priest and the planter, the
monk and the miner, the soldier and
the devil and the doctor, the new
woman, the CnRoNIcLE, and scores Of
other characters too tedious to mention
and too elaborate for description in our
over crowded columns. were all there,
a combination queer, quaint
and curious a veritable oIlapodrida of
spectacular features, which was as inter
in its contemplation as il was re-
'reshing TO the eye of the observer.
In short, it may be safely said, that
