.MINER's OATH, AT C0RDRAY's.
A Drama Which illustrates the Stirring
DAYS of Forty-Nine.

The stirring pioneer life during the gold
excitement of the closing forties possesses
peculiar charm for those who partici-
pated in its eventful episodes, as well as
for those who can view it only from the
page of history. 1t has been said that the
most important factor in the living of life
is eliminated from the biography of every
man whose history is written by another.
The secret life is known only to its posses
scr. And what "reminiscences can the few
survivors of 40 call from their own expe-
riences of forty years agol The fever of
excitement over anticipated success, the
fear of disappointment, the Indignation
aroused by the treachery of supposed
friends, the nightly watch for the assassin,
the scenes of quarrel and of bloodshed.
A drama whose plot is set in a period of
such changing issues as this has always
proved welcome TO theater-goers. Mana
ger Cordray has billed THE Miners Oath"
for this week. The scenery, the charac-
tiers, the surroundings will depict story
of border life, in which honesty and virtue
appear as diamonds in the rough, while
yillainy stalks abroad with "hideous
