LIGHTING THE STAGE YEARS AGO

Unjust have often struck people
when reading of the old performances
in the last century, bow it was that
the lighting was contrived. The pow
Ell of oil lamps was limited enough,
there were no footlights, at least I'M
till about the III ddle of the last CEN
fury, and they were the humble
Floats" dim enough. Yet there was
ample light to observe expression and
play of features, go necessary in inter
preting the fine old comedies of char
| acter. Nowadays the stage is one
blaze;it is literally bathed and suffused
in light. There are no shadows,
| and yet it might be said the amount
| of necessary lights IS no more than
there used to be and is not nearly as
satisfactory. How was it then? In
the theatres of Garrick and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung direct
ly over the actors, from the arch OF
the proscenium and just outside the
curtain. When the play was over
they were lowered slowly, signal fol
the audience to depart. These chan.
deliers furnished q goodly amount o.
light on circular zone immediately
below them; the actors faces and fig
ures were lit in the natural way, al
the sun would light them; but the res
of the stage was comparatively darl
or gloomy.

THE LITTLE o. ID HOK1N
There's little old woman lives over the way,
In gaInbrei-rooled cottage unpainted and
gray,
And where the brown grapevine is climbing
across,
The shingles are covered with patches of moss.
By the wood tire-side, in the winter she sits
Ia Ist-bottomed rocker, AMI sings as she
knits
In quavering voice with q tremulous Groom,
And the click Of her needle keeps time with the
tune.
Her Bible she reads, slowly turning the leaves
And she %arncrs bright grain from her beauti-
tut SheaVLs;
And the tears DIM her eyes rs she lifts them on
high
In search Of her treasure laid up in the Sky.
In her best Sunday gown, whether ailing or
well,
She trots to her meeting at sound of the bell,
And she sits i'll her rev like wren on perch,
This little gray dame in Il Puritan church.
Oar very old people remember they think.
When her halr was as glossy and BLACK as q
mink,
AND her cheei.S red as roses, her teeth white
as pears,
And this little old woman the faircst of girls.
She had dear lover, alack and day,
A sailor who sailed from the beautiful bay:
And the summers may blush and the winters
may pals,
Bit their sun never shines on his home coming
sail.
At Il little round table from over the seat,
She sits at the sunset and prurS out her tea,
And the delicate cup and The saucer are white
AS tloating pond l.!y i'lst kissed by the light.
And a ship under sail, with It's flag at the mast,
All laden.wltnmcmoricS brought from the past,
Is painted upon them as !ite-iike and faic
AS mirage that floats in the orient air.

And smiles as she knows that her Logger is

But day will soon come when the lilac 5 per-

teracts any tendency of cold Or la

and silver in the United States during
| 1897. The report does mention such q
place as Nevada but one would never
know from it that Olinghouse Canyon is
! in Nevada or on the face OF the earth
for that matter. The entire production
OF gold in Washoe county for that year
is given at $4,000 while every Oling-
house miner knows that one little lousy
mining claim up in the hills where he is
working yielded that much, to say nott :
ing of other quartz and placer claims.
Just SO long as the mine owners and
miners Mt Olinghouse continue TO stand
in their own way by shipping bullion to
all points of the globe save the Carson
Mint, SO long will they wait for any cap
italist to take look at the camp.
We now urge upon every man inter-
ested in this matter to insist when he
sells gold that it he sent to the Carson
Mint, and we urge upon the heavy pro-
ducer as well, the great necessity of
sending his bullion to the Carson Mint,
that We may establish record of the
gold output that cannot be impeached.
1 s.
This action will furnish indisputab BILE
proof to intending purchasers and en-
courage. as no other means will, capital
lists to visit the camp and make invest
ments. This fellow and the eother fellow
has been out with club of soine kind
to retard the growth of the camp and
the development of the mines ever
since they were discovered. We should
drop those clubs or else use them on the
men who engage in such damphool work.
The editor of the DISPATCH having heard
some complaints about the Mint sought
Superintendent Colcord in regard to the
matter. Mr.. Colcord wrote Mr.. Linton
for permission to make partial showing
and the following correspondence pass
ed:
Mr.. r. X. Colcord Responsive to
your request of January Goth, will say
you are at liberty to give any informa-
tion concerning shipments of bnllion to
the Carson Mint, by myself, that you see
fit.
The output from the camp now, with
everything frozen up, is, with small pro-
ducers, very limited, and no dust being
offered for sale. Should handle any in
the future shall ship to you, as my erper-
fence has shown this the most favorable
point in every tcap to ship to.
Signed, W. D. LINTON.
Mr.. Colcord then sent the DIspArcH
the following:
Memorandum showing the weights
and assay value OF bullion shipments
made by W. D. Linton, Assayer, Wads-
worth, Nevada, to the Carson City Mint:
Gold deposit No. l43, as reported by
assay Of W. d. Linton.-2 bars, weight
1907 ounces, assay value $543.O0.
Gold deposit No. l54, as reported by
w. d. Linton, bar, weight 27.38 ounces,
assay value $420.8I.
Weights and value of the above two
shipments as reported by Carson Mint
Gold deposit No. 143, weight 26.11
ounces, assay value $545.34.
Gold deposit No. 154, weight 27.4l
ounces, assay value $422.06.
A net gain of $3.50 in favor of the
Mint assay.
Mr.. Colcord continues:
"You will observe that the agreement
between the values as given by Mr..
Linton, and the returns made by US are
as near together as it is possible for two
