the country, and there is a certainty
that it will be still better in the near
future. The big mill is running nicely
and without any interruption whatever,
and will o be running in its fullest
capacity. Masons are at work building
the walls for the dry room neal the
chimney, which will complete the con
%struction of the plant. Seven or eight
mechanics are at work setting and ad-
justing the machinery at the oxidizer
plant and are making rapid progress.
The new crusher, invented by DR.. Motif
expressly for the oxidizer, is in place.
1t is a handsome machine and is said to
be as good a crusher as there is manu-
featured. 1t is not expected that the
plant will be ready for operation before
the LIST December. The ore bins are full
and the company have Hundreds of tons
ready for shipment. Dave Hunter of
the Hawkeye company is at work re-
pairing his water ditch and will very
have q part of the stamps dropping.
Everything else is ready to start, the
wire rope tramway and mill having
been put in order some time since. Al
ready there are inquiries for ground on
which to build residences, and ere long

A fair sized audience witnessed the
performance of the Haywood Celebrities
at the opera house on Thursday night.
The performance more than filed the
measur Of all G expectations, and was
greeted with a storm Of applause such
as has been rarely witnessed in this
city. Ray L. Royce, who is conceded
TO be the best artist of his class that has
eyer visited the Hills, fully sustained
his reputation keeping the audience in
an almost constant uproar by his quaint
and amusing rendition of the various
characters assumed. Miss Waters prov
ed herself to be every inch an actress,
and was applauded to the echo. Sig
Vasini sang pleasingly and satisfactorily
in two languages and was also loudly
applauded. Upon the whole the enter
tainment was eminently satisfactory to
all, and should the company conclude
to again visit this place, there is little,
if any doubt of their being greeted by a
much larger audience than the one they
SO pleasingls entertained on this &C.

"Uncle Toms Cabin never grows old.
There runs through it a vein of Patio s
peculiarly touching and sweet. 1t speaks
the universal language of the heart. 1t
reflects like the prism the innermost
phases Of the human emotion. 1t is
more than a play. 1t is moral classic,
1t argues for two Of the greatest themes
that can engage the mind human
liberty and immortality of the soul.
Notwithstanding its frequent produc-
ton, 1t is seldom that one sees the play
as it is now presented by the Cook TWIN
Sisters colossal spectacular. 1t is like
meeting an old friend after many years.
