WORK OF A MISCREANT.
The Hoisting Works of the Black
 Warrior Blown Up.

The hoisting engine of the Black Warrior Copper company, in Webster gulch, was blown up on Monday morn ing about 4 o'clock by some unknown mlscreant. Giant powder was placed under each of the two cylinders of the engine and exploded a few moments apart The reports were distinctly heard at the Black Warrior camp, e1gnt or nine hundred feet distant. but no one went to investigate the cause uiiell three hours later. The ex- pioslons completely wrecked the en- glne, blowing the cylinders into frag- ments and tearing asunder the wooden loundatlon blocks which were bolted to the stone beneath, and also blew the roof of that portion of the build Ing. The damage done amounts to fuily S2,OO0, Superintendent Whyte thinks.
 so far as known there is 10 definite cue as to the perpetrator of this ma hgnant act, but he is evidently some cne well acquainted with the prem lses, and with the working hours. as tne ume chosen was a half hour after ohe hagnt force comes off shift. but TOT week or more previous there mas been no night work done.
 The wrecker, very likely, was a dis charged employe, who took this oamnable method to revenge himself on the company, He showed reckless audaclty, too, as he evidently took a lamp which hung at the end of the building and after the explosion went Into the engine house to view the de- structlon he had wrought Mir. Ross. the mine foreman, having been awak ened by the report, got up and looked out of his tent and he saw the light moving around the corner of the building, but concluded it was one of MT. Robinson's teamsters who haul ore, and whom he supposed had got ten up earlier than usual.-SilYer Relt

GRAND CONCERT.

Sonora Ygnacia de Gallardo, the prima donna of the concert to be given at the opera house Friday night, has had excellent training under German and Italian tutors and has been the star of the Schubert and the Bo- hemian Concert companies. For two years she was the first support of the famous Angela Peralta, who met with such marvellous success in Europe. A San Francisco paper in commenting on her says: She has within her con- trol an exceedingly beautiful and powerful dramatic soprano. Its in tensely pathetic quality could not be excelled and tears are frequently evoked at her bidding. She is still young in years and possessed of very sweet character. She has most phenomenal range of voice, giving three octaves clear.
