OPERA HOUSE

Marc, the magician, musician, artist
and shadowgraphist, mystified and
entertained a fair-sized audience al
the Opera House Friday night. As a
prestidigitatol. Marc may be said to be
as tricky rs the trickiest; he keeps
his spectators In state of bewilder-
ment and amusement and the more
one looks and wonders and tries to
delve into the mysteries of his magic,
the less one Sees Marc is also a
musician, and manages to get good
deal of music out of a one-stringed
instrument he calls the ''gogglepeg. {"
His art of autobiography that is the
making of shadows of various images
with his hands-is something unique
and amusing. Altogether. Marc gives
d first class entertainment, and those
who saw him Friday night were well
pleased with him.

male singer ever lived who could
produce notes of the altitude of this

lated to puzzle all students of vocalism.

ings where he procured q. six shooter.
Returning to the eating house he went
directly to Lamb and pointed the wea-
pom at his body AS he stood in this
attitude, Lamb said: We'll, IL you are
going to shoot, shoot" q words to
that effect

and the gun snapped without going
off, He fired a second time and the
weapon was discharged, the bullet
entering Lambs body on one side Of

in about thirty minutes. The negro

COMST0CK
PUMPS
GREAT PLANT THAT IS To
BE INSTALLED
Good Description Of the
Machinery

me Cali OF yesterday contains an
illustrated account of the installing
of the new pumping machinery on the
Comstock. From the following de-
scription it seems that the old lode
is about to be equipped with the finest
machinery that man can conceive:
One of the most remarkable under
takings Connected with deep mining is
now under way in the Consolidated
Virginia shaft on the Comstock lode,
and its successful accomplishment not
only opens up wide possibilities as to
the future Of the bonanza mines, but
solves the question Of the drainage of
deep levels for all time to come.
When mining on the lower levels on
the Comstock ceased, all the shafts
were flooded to a depth OF 1850 feet
below surface by water flowing in at
the rate Of 5000 gallons minute. Two
years ago, on the installation Of by
draulic elevators. an experiment in
which few mining experts placed
much faith, the water in the shafts
was gradually reduced to the 215O-
of the Sutro tunnel. A resumption
foot level, 500 feet below the mouth
of ming above this level was thus
| made possible and successfully pro-
secuted. Measures were afterward
taken for draining to the 255O-foot
level, by which all former explora-
lions could be uncovered and valuable
deposits which are believed to exist
in the lower levels opened up.
ELEVATOR EXTENDED.
The plan adopted fis by the extern
sion of the hydraulic elevator to the
lowest point of the shaft and by it's
means to empty the lowest levels and
raise the inflowing waters to a point
where powerful pumps could eject it
through the Sutro tunnel.
The plan necessitated building q
pumping room at the 215O-foOt level
This has been excavated in the hard
pOrphyry rock to the dimensions Of
l19 feet in length and Fl feet in
height and breadth. Two thousand
cubic yards of rock were taken from
this chamber.
Just below is the tank station, 81
feet long, Is feet wide and feet high
with tanks holding $4,000 gallons. In
to these tanks the water below il

CAPACITY OF PUMPS.
The pumps will raise $500 gallon
of water each minute to a height {
