THE THOMPSON OPERA COMPANY.
= Long and Successful Season Play
ing s:The Mikado,,-A Company
of Artists.

Yesterday afternoon a DEMOCRAT re-
porter met Mr.. Edward J. Abraham,
business manager of the Thompson
Opera Company, which is shortly to
make its appearance at the Theatre for
two nights in ''The Mikado."
TIE conversation, naturally enough,
turned on "The Mikado'' and the Thomp-
son Company
"You make speciality of this opera ?"
asked the reporter
eyes, sir" replied Mr.. Abraham eve
have played it longer and more nights
than any other company Oh this CONT
nent. At the end of the engagement in
your city we will have played it over two
hundred times. Last year the Thompson
Company made specially of the Beg
gar Student, and this year the same is
being done with 'The Mikado. The
opera ran for six weeks in Cincinnati
during the last of the season last sum-
mer."
How long has the Thorn pson Com
pany been organized?"
s"About thirteen months The company
is composed principally of the iginal
Mccall people, all of whom, everybody
knows, were first-class artists. Since the
Thompson organization the company has
never closed winter or summer. We are
proud to say that ''The Mikado," as pre-
sented by us, is the finest production of
the opera in America. The principals
are all stars, and the chorus is full and
the most powerful on the road
AT this point Andy Brixen popped in
and told Mr.. A. that, if he expected to
hear the Tabernacle choir, he must shake
the newspaper man and come with him
at once. With this gentle hint from the
proprietor of the V. H., the DEMOCRAT
reporter babe the manager good day.
The Thompson company has met with
phenomenal success in Denver The COM
pany is reputed to be first-class in every
and plays 'The Mikado' in
grand style.
Since the opera has been introduced
here three times by the amateurs, and
because SO much has been said and writ
ten of the piece, it would be superfuous
to give an explanation of either the plot |
or the style and character OF the play. 1t |
is everywhere accorded to be the funni-
est, most novel and catching opera of the
season, and that Gilbert and Sullivan
have never written anything more charm
ing and entertaining.
There are several reasons why pro-
fessional production is desired in Salt
Lake, and there isn't doubt that the |
Thompson Opera Company will meet |
with q hearty reception in this city.

FITTED UP IN FINE STYLE.
The Metropolitan Hotel UnderSoes
Thorough Renovation Till II IS
second to None i'm the City.

/ A DEMOCRAT reporter this morning
made call at the Metropolitan Hotel fol
the purpose of inspecting the changes
recently made in that house. He was
shown up stairs by the clerk, who intro
duced him to Mrs. Hill, the newly
installed hostess. Mrs Hill was busily
engaged experimenting the carpeting and
other arrangements regarding the final
preparations of the rooms. 'sCome right
in, Mr.. DEMOCRAT" said Mrs. Hill, in her
genial, good-natured way; and she then
proceeded to show the reporter the many
excellent changes that have been wrought
on the floors of the second and third sto-
ries of the building. The original design
of the Metropolitan was not the very best
in the world, by any means, as the second
and third floors had been so constructed
that there was in the centre OF each row
of dark rooms, with narrow passage on
either side This row of dark rooms has
been entirely taken out, and all the side
rooms have been extended out about
eight feet on either side. This change
has left spacious and elegant hall the
entire length of the building, and every
room in the hotel is a front room. The
proprietors could not have made any
change that will SO meet the approval OF
guests as this one.
On each floor elegant bath rooms and
ordinaries of the most improved patent
have been put in, so that guests can be
furnished with hot or cold baths and other
necessary accommodations without leav-
ing the building.
The rooms have all been thoroughly
cleaned, re-papered, and are certainly
numbered among the best lighted, the
healthiest and the largest sleeping apart
ments of any hotel in the city. The
front rooms, facing Third South street,
have been arranged into elegant suites for
families. ALI the windows have been
hung with lace curtains and shades. The
entire house is lighted with gas, the
dining room and Office having electric
lights in addition to the gas chandeliers.
The dining room has been beautifully
fitted up, and now is one of the hand
soonest apartments in the town.
We are pleased to announce that Hill |
& Hill have opened this hotel, and that |
they intend to run it on the very best |
plan for the accommodation of guests in
quest of comfortable place at a moder-
ate charge.
Mrs. Hill says that the intention is to |
make specially of family accommoda-
lions and permanent resident hoarders
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill will doubtless make
4 success of the Metropolitan, for it is
certain they will do all they can for the
comfort of their guests.

THE MARSAC MILL.
Chambers, Gallagher and Grant EesY
urrect the Old Works.

There was a time in the history of this
camp, says the Park, City Record, when
there were more mills than mines. Prof.
Clayton estimated the McHenry bluff TO
be worth 100000: Sevenoaks, Hal
comb and the writer of this, came down
the hill from the Lake, and an open cut
called our attention to spot in which
men were at work. That spot is the
present Ontario. Had an enthusiast got
hold OF that mine, this camp would not
be In existence. There was crisis in the
history OF this camp that Greg Chambers
filled just like timber-men in mine work
in a "Dutchman." Like all successful
men, Chambers had enemies: but he
surrounded himself with lieutenants that
would pull the bottom out of hell and
give the Devil contract to go deeper.
Fat klrvln was with him in the early
days, and our readers know that, under
Chambers management, it was Kirvin's
mine for years. The depth attained in
the old working shaft necessi tated ma
chinery, and as in the history of all
countries, man was found ready for the
emergency. Dan Ball had shot himself
at the Valley House, but A. M. Grant was
still at the mill. As when General Grant
was inspired to have Sheridan swoop
down upon Lees Army, Chambers placed
Joe E. Gallagher in charge of the Ontario
mill. Sheridan's work is historical
when Gallagher dies we'll write his
Experimentation have been turned

along and saw, what to some seemed a
deluslon, the continuation OF the Ontario

eral, r. G. Chambers recognized his
abilities, and that boy, J. j. DAILY, has
demonstrated now, what was then in
doubt, that patent stakes do not limit a |

with three special Pullman sleepers at

House last evening as DEMOCRAT re-
porter sauntered into the hotel, was MI
George A. Arthur, assistant business
manager of the calvin Joslin" Comedy
Company, which is to appear here three
NIGHTS this week. After the usual sauta-
tory remarks, the DEMOCRAT reporter
asked the business manager how long
Mr.. Davis had been playing his popular
comedy, calvin Joslin."
"About fifteen years" was the reply;
"About that many years ago." continued
Mr.. Arthur. ssMr. Davis was playing
calvin Joslin" as an afterpiece in a
variety show. He conceived the idea OF
enlarging the thing into drama. He
did so, and Travelled to Philadelphia
on his trunks because he hadn't
the money to put up for fares. The stand
was for week, and the receipts for that
week were $4,000. Since that time, Mr..
Davis has been coming money out OF
