was excessive. For instance. the wool

enue $24, 000, 900; wooden schedule, $14,-
600, 600; but the advance importations
have been such that there will be prac-

would be a decrease the first year., and

Big Mining Suit.

What promises to be big mining
suit was begun in the Inyo Superior
Court last week, says the Independ-
emit. 1t is L. Lasky VS.. Ruperto Car.
rasco, ct al. Some time ago D. Hol-
land and others located an extension
of the noted Keynot mine at Rever-
idge, which has yielded upwards of a
million dollars in gold. They began
work on their claim and have opened
up an ore body which promises to
equal in value the product taken
from the Keynot. A number OF years
ago the owners had their mine sur
veyed as basis for patent, but no
further steps were ever taken, and
therein lies the ground of dispute,
which will probably cost a large sum
of money before the matter is finally
settled. This should be warning to
owners of valuable claims. Get your
ground patented, and your rights are
secured.

Evanesecnt Regulations of Persons Who
Fitted on tho Stage

NhttSu On tne StaRe
Theatrical reputation is the most
evanescent of all glories of lfe," sadly
observed the old actor, drawing his last
summers oyercoat around him little
tighter, according to the New York
Herald.
That's So" responded the agent,
and nothing reminds one of this more
than an acquaintance with the bill
rooms of the old theaters about the
country. You know they have n way
OF posting up bills and autographs in
the bill-rooms-that part OF the theater
in which the bills are laid out, ana
which is the lounging place of the tray
cling agents, the billposters, advertis-
ing men, ETC., and preserving sort of
record of the celebrated actors, COM
Panies and scenes that have been al
that particular house. Sometimes this
is done Systematically. with an idea fer
general pictorial effect. and then looks
very pretty. But more often it is the
freak of some billposter, who slaps up
q full length figure, or Autograph
head, or something grotesque. the whole
collection forming curious and some
times nightmarish tumble.
"ln the older bill-rooms will be seen
pictures of bygone favoritcs of the
American stage-of many persons who
were famous the other day and who to-
day are quite forgotten. They are
usually represented in their farorite
costume and part. Some of these were
the rage but a few years ag0-drew big
salaries and had everything their own
way. There are women who actually
quecned it over the whole country
made thousands and drank champagne
and wore princess diamonds. Why,
their very names are forgotten! I am
not an old-timer, though I'm familiar
with the stage, and l tell you I've been
actually startled suddenly to come
across these pictures on the bill-room
walls, and to be thus reminded what
they had been, and to be set to thinking
what had become of them."

Sale of the Wild Rose Mine.

A deed was signed in Bishop last
week conveying title to the Wild
Rose mine from Harry Mcnamara
and Pat Dowd to w. S. Couch and
U. T. Doyle. The purchase price is
$4,000. This mine, which is eight
miles from Benton, is considered one
OF the most promising in the section,
though it has been idle for years.
1t was discovered by Johnny Nichol-
son, and passed into the hands of
harrington and Nixon. The work
done by them was limited. compris-
Ing lO0-foot tunnel and $50 foot
shaft, but in this work over $500, 900
was taken out. The ore averaged $95
In gold and silver. Later Joe Nc
Dermott sunk 60-foot shaft, finding
only base ore. During the past year
Couch has had it bonded, and has
satisfied himself of its value by ac-
tual work. The Banner mill, three
miles distant, will be placed in shape
to work the ore. This mill was used
during former operations there, but
has not been used for ID years. A
concentrating plant will be used at
once, and if cyaniding experiments
give satisfactory results cyanide
plant will be added.-Register.
