Nevada, or the Lost Mine.
 Next Saturday evening the Nogales dramatic club will present at the No gales opera house the thrilling sensa- tional melodrama Nevada, or the Lost Minen with strong cast of characters. The excellent work done by the same ladies and gentlemen at the representation of the "Woyen Web,n is a guaranty that the coming presentation will be well worthy of public attention. For this represen- tation Mr Wm. NJ. Young has painted two new and very attractive stage scenes, one representing the interior of "Old Nermontsn cabin, the other an exterior view of 'Mother Merton's" cabin.
 The scene is laid in mining camp in Nevada and the dialogue develops that ten years before an old miner known as Nevada had found an old but very rich mine. but at the time of its discovery he had fallen in the shaft and seriously hurt himself Bruised and crazed by his injuries he made his way to the camp and told his story. On his person were bits or rich gold rock which corrObOrated the story. Search was made, but the mine was never found, and poor ''Old Neyada had always remained harmless lunatic. About the same time "Old Vermont had rescued from the run a drowning child who came from no one knew where. She was adopted and tenderly reared by tine rough miners, "Old Vermont" filling the place of q father, and Mother Merton, another character in the camp, filling the part of her mother. The first scene opens with the return of ''MoSellen the waif, from boarding school. accompanied by Miss Fairlee,n her teacher. Miss Fairlee and Tom Carew,' young miner fall in love at first sight. Mo selle," the heroine, falls in love with Dandy Dick, handsome young miner, a Dew comeT, who in the de- nouement turns out to be brother or Miss Fairlee.n A detective appears on the scene huntiag forger, whom he finds in the person of Dandy Dick. 1 He is arrested and must go or pay a ransom of S20,000. This "Moselle" vainly attempts to secure. At the crucial hour "Silas Steele, who turns out to be a son "Old Vermont had left behind in the east, falls into the same hidden shaft down which "Old Nevada had fallen SC long before, gives the clue to Tom Carew,' who ! hunts up the mine and comes into camp with load of gold nuggets to pay Dicks" ransom. But that proves unnecessary, as the alleged de- tective proves the real forger and com mits suicide. Finding the lost mine causes return of "Neyada's" reason, and he discovers in "Moselle," the waif, his own daughter. And the cur tain falls to slow music upon crowd happy all around.
