EYangeli Q.


OF this famous burlesque which will soon
be produced at Mings the Seattle Press
says:
It has been produced almost continuously
for II years, and if it did not have some
strong intrinsic merit it would have been
shelved with "Ixion','. and other burlesquet
of the same character. Some say it is the
bright, catchy music; others like the humor.
GUS. snappy dialogue; a few say all the
merit lies in the spectacular effects, while
not few allege it is the good companies
which produce it with large number OF
shapely girls, clever comedians and artistic
singers which has caused the production to
blossom for almost two decades.
James s. Maffit. the lone fisherman, has
turned from an young to an old man since
the play was first staged and he has seen it
increase in popularity instead of decreasing
during all those years. It must be confessed
that the audience, when the curtain ID rul,
down on "Evangeline'' have a very hazy
notion of what it all means, but realize that
they have been greatly pleased with the
performance. r9i
George X. Fortescue, who would make a
fortune as fat man in dime museum,
played Catherine in an amusinS mannar.
The scenery was excellent, tho marches
superb, the singing artistic, the costumes
bewildering and beautiful, and the play
goes with swing which betokens careful
and painstaking rehearsal. "Evangeline''
will be given again tonight.

Sale Of the Josephine in Upper Ba.
sin for Five Hundred Thous-
and Dollars.
Favorable Reports From Proper
ties on the West Side In
Orc Elmo District
The Iren Mountain District Showing Up
We1l-Rich Discoveries Being Made
Notes From Jefferson County.

Yesterday mining sale of more than or
binary importance took place in this city
and one which will have the effect of bring
ing to popular notice section of country
that is unsurpassed in mineral wealth
The Upper Basin district has long been
known to be rich in precious metals, but
previous to last summer no development
work had been done worthy of special men
ton. A little over year ago Fred Manuel
began the development of the Josephine
mime in q systematic manner. He erected
a small mill and concentration and last sum-
mar made regular shipments Of ore. Re
ports spread abroad in regard to its value
and late last fall Green d Smith, of this
city, secured bond and lease on the prop
erty and sunk the shaft to depth Of 15O
feet, run crosscuts and levels and
put it in splendid shape. In the
meantime shipments of ore were made.
A short time ago negotiations were en-
tered into with Los Angeles and Kansas
City parties for it's purchase, and yesterday
he led property G was transferred for the sum Of
mine. It is situated directly ON top of the
main divide of the Rocky mountains. about
midway between Wickes and Champion, at
the head of the north branch of the Basin
creek. The distance to Rimini by wagon
ROAD 18 about seven miles. 1t is IN the
midst of rich mineral belt. To the north
and west are the celebrated mines of the
Little Blackfoot, the Ontario, the Lilly, the
Wall street and many others. To the east
are number of fine leads, numbering
among them the Talequah, Barbary, Elk
horn, Mugwump, Fairview,. Woodruff,
Clark. j. L. c., and many others, including
the Dunleith. which has produced a large
quantity of rich ore. Further east are the
Crescent and Croesus, and the Lady Leith
group, and the rich palena leads owned
by Braun Winter. The sale of the 10.
sephine and its profitable working will have
the effect of stimulating energy in the camp
and induce capital to invest. The count. y
rock is granite and the veins are large and
we'll defined, carrying high grade ores.
1t is stated that the new company will i'm
mediately put up new works and sink on
the Josephine to depth of 500 feet. There
are five well-defned leads in the claim, from
four to sixteen feet in width. Its develop
ment in the first place is due to Fred Man
uel, who is one of the most experienced
miners in the country, but its sale and sue
cessful development latterly is due almost
wholly to the push and energy of Joel T..
Smith, who has exhibited unusual ability in
a field that requires exceptional talent. Mr..
Smith has not been long in the state, but
he has made his mark as mining man and
has other property in hand that will bring
him In handsome fortune.

West Side Mines.

Active operations on the Red Lion prop
erty were resumed on Wednesday with fif-
teen men at work, says the Miner. The
ten-stamp mill will be started up as soon as
the snow is off the ground. Representa-
tives Of an English syndicate will soon ar
rive to look at the property with view to
purchasing it.
The Silver Crown mine is sinking and
striking valuable ore. Treasury stock ia
quoted at 20 cents.
Reports from the Keystone mine in Orc
Elmo district state that the Indications for
that district continue most favorable. AS
soon as the shaft reaches the depth Of 200
feet prosecuting to the lead will begin and
the shipment of ore be begun. The vein is
four feet wide and rich in ruby silver.

Iron Mountain District.

The Iron Mountain country seems to be
enjoying q big boom at present, says the
Missoulian, and il the reports which find
their origin there are true, within very
short period that section will be the greatest
mining country on earth. 1t is reported
that during the past week the Wilson broth
ers made an astonishing discovery of a
large ledge of rich galena ore at the head of
Deep creek. The vein is four feet in width
and has been traced a distance of nearly
carrying heavy percentage of lead and
large amount of silver. Samples of the
ore have been forwarded to assayers
at Salt Lake, Helena and Denver,
and their analysis are awaited with
much anxiety. The ore exists in such vast
discoverers are confident they have a great
bonanza. Two men named Low and Muir
ply have filed claim to another discovery
in the same neighborhood, and it is re-
ported their find is continuation of the
vein discovered by the Wilson boys.
where the prospectors are turning their at
tention. The ore is free milling, running
from $40 to $12 per ton in silver. For years
past 1t has been known to exist in tlnlim-
tied quantities, but its real value was lost
sight of until recently. During the past

property. From the start, it is said paying
ore can be removed at cost of less than 81

L. A. Woodward yesterday purchased
lode on Jumbo Mountain and took bond
on the other three-fourths. He will at once
proceed to develop the property. He also

Indian Cleek, Silver Dollar and Cresus.
The trustees of the Indian Creek Mining
company held meeting last evening at
which Frank E. Beck, secretary and treas
7rer, sent in his resignation, owing to the
fact that he will probably be absent from
the city for some time. His resignation
was received and a vote of thanks rendered
for the efficient manner in which he had
conducted the business of the company.
Mr. o. A. Southmayd was elected to fill the
vacancy.
A carload of ore was shipped from the
Silver Dollar mine yesterday to the United
States Sampling works, this city.
Preparations for active work on the Greco
sus mine are going forward. The property
is located east of Bald mountain. at the
head OF Cataract, and is an extension of the

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Evangeline.
Nellie McHenry's many friends in this
city will welcome her at Ming's on Tuesday
night. Concerning her new play the New
York News says: A large house greeted her
and she pleased all her old friends and
made many new ones "I.ady Peggy" is q
play that combines many styles. There is
plenty of fun. dash of sentiment, a
sprinkling of sensationalism, and deal of
feminine heroism. In all these styles Nell
lie McHenry is conspicuous. In the senti-
mental scenes she showed pathos and
depth Of feeling that one certainly could
not have looked for. In the heroic scenes
she was spirited, quick, and full Of fire. Il
is needless to say that her singing and
dancing comedy scenes were in her very
best vein, The story is not as novel as the
treatment of it. It is tho usual
''waif abandoned by an outcast
mother and who eventually turns up
at her fathers villa and subsequently rec
Onciles her parents" sort of story, but
Messrs. Carroll and Tannehiu weave num-
Der of interesting characters into the plot
and tell the play in very commendable
way. The scenes are natural and include a
realistic interior of q pawnshop, one Of the
best Of the Haymarket's exterior scenes,
both by Buss, and q picturesque view of
Harlem river and bridge by Maeder and
Schaffer, of New York. OF the support Nh.
John Webster gives the greatest satisfac-
him. Louise Rial does most praiseworthy
work and Clara Baker Rust displays SO
much ability iii a small role that one wishes
the dramatists had given her more to do.
The prime sensation of the play is the res
cue by trained dog of drowning man.

MiddIebrOOk News.


We have had some hot days and cool nights
lately. Harvest draws on apace. and the
wheat crop is fairly good Most of our farmers
are making hay, and the crop is good. Fruit
is a failure here.
Some blackberries. &C., but the main fruits,
apples, and cherries. are total failures.
There are several good mechanics here who
want Jobs and are going to try some of the
boom towns soon. There is great boom cry
throughout the country. but we fear some of it
will be like a cat fight more yell and fur than
real practical benefit to some.
A sensible lady was heard to give her daugh-
tiers the following very sensible advice not
long since. and we commend her advice TO
others: when young man wishes to pay his
addresses to you treat him well; if he calls ex-
clusively at night, and will lounge around the
church door and loaf at other places while you
walk home by yourself, have nothing to do
with him, for he thinks himself better than
you are. There Is always something wrong
when he is ashamed to be seen in your compa-
ny in the streets.' Very sensible mother that.
Pity they are SO scarce. and very great pity
there are so many of that class OF young men.
