Fol reasons not necessary to name,
and apparent TO many of our citizens,
the efforts being put forth TO dispose Of
mining property in this vicinity during
the past few months have been con-
Quoted in the most quiet n pos
sible. Mining experts have come, made
careful and thorough examinations of
prominent mining properties. and de.
parted without attracting any attention
other than that of the parties directly
interested. The result Of these i~nvesti-
cations, as we have been reliably in
formed, have been highly satisfactory
and a number Of important deals are
liable TO be consnmmated in the early
future. Among the companies seeking
20 acquire mining interests here, is a
German syndicate, who are expected
here early in February. who, il is con
idently expected will invest largely in
the mines of this locality, the merits of
which they have learned by careful and
repeated tests. 1t ma be reasonably
expected that operations upon a far
more extensive scale than has been
known to the south IN ills in the past,
will this year be in~augurated upon GER
tain mining properties located near this
city. This mining district has been ex-
ceedingly slow in its development, but
there Is every reason to believe that,
when its vast are fully util
lied, its mineral output will exceed that
Of any other district in the Hills. We
await with the utmost confidence the
inauguration Of extensive mining oper-
atoms in this district, which can only
result in establishing the exceptional
value Of our wonderful mineral de-
poslts.

The county commissioners met on
Monday for the approval Of the bonds
Of the various county officers elect, and
for such other business as might o
erly come before them. The officers
elected at the late election filed their
bonds which in all cases we're funud
sufficient, and the officers being duly
qualified, took their seats. There are
now a number of new official faces at
the court house, the sheriff, Willard,
and county judge, Smith, being the only
hold.oyers upon the list. The new Of
ficers take up the work with much APP
parent confidence. which would seem to
warrant the conclusion that they were
entirely competent to perform their
Official duties in a satisfactory manner.
There is evidently no reason TO com.
plain of a lack of ability on the part Of
our new county officers.

Satisfaction and JOY in great gobs
were corpping out all over the radiant
face Of O. r. Ebey when we met him
on the street on Saturday. He was as
happy as a tende foot after his first sale
Of a mine, and it wa all on account Of
the arrival of an i~nfantile heir to his
estate, which had just cast the light of
its beaming face upon this mundane
sphere. It's a boy, and as it bears a
very strong resemblance to the old man,
ii cannot well be otherwise than as
handsome as a ripe and blushing peach.

veryihing is looking way up at the
grease factory, especially the smoke
stacks. The machinery placed there
last year is still there, no evidence of it
having moyed, or evinced a disposition
to do so, being apparent. The massive
piles of mica stacked up in the main
building to give tone and effect to the
otherwise empty surroundings, still
serve as a mute but potent index to the
earnest intentions Of the company TO
produce grease galore a some future
period in the gray haired hence. 1t is
the ardent but superanuated hope that
at some time in the golden gilded after

SEVEN HANDED EUCHRE.
Definite Points Given That Will Enable

Definite Points Given That Will Enable
One to Play the Game.
For pleasure, pure and simple, seven
handed euchre clubs may be cited as
models The game is played with full
pack Of cards, and the joker is used.
Seven cards are dealt to each player,
giving first three and then four and
leaving four on the table. This quartet
is dubbed 1.-THE widow"
The player on the left of the dealer
makes the first bid of 2, 8, 4, s, or 2
tricks, naming the suit, the highest bid
getting it. The bidding is done in turn.
The person who secures the bid then
selects three other players-partners-
thus pitting four against three. If the
bidder wins, he and his partners each
count the amount bid If he fails, he is
euchred, and the three opponents count
each the amount bid While one can
play quiet, steady game. taking no
risks, and holding high cards or the
joker play for euchre, the spirit Of ex-
treme feminine politeness engendered
by this fad Of the hour requires that a
person holding the joker should bid the
limit, seven, thereby always introduce
ing an element Of chance in the contest
and giving each one more show.
Prizes are played for. A certain mum
Der Of points gained can be the limit or
. given period Of time as agreed upon.
The one holding the highest number Of
points at the decisive moment wins.

AS THE ROMANS SAW IT.
A Classic Performance In the Old Thea
ter ut Orange.


ter ut Orange.
OF scenery, in the ordinary sense OF
the word, there was none at all What
we saw was the real thing. In the open
ing scene of "Gdipus, the king, COM
ing forward through the royal portal
and across the raised platform in the
rear Of the stage, did literally "enter
from the palace and did descend the
palace steps" to the public place"
where Creon and the priests awaited
him. 1t was direct reversal Of the or
binary effect in the ordinary theater,
where the play loses in realism because
current Of necessarily appreciated but
purposely rejected antagonistic fact un-
derruns the conventional illusion and
compels Us to perceive that the palace
is but painted canvas, and even on the
largest stage only four or five times as
high as the prince. The palace at Or
ange, towering up as though it would
touch the very heavens and obviously
Of veritable stone, was a most peremp-
tory reality.
The fortuitous accessory Of the trees
growing close beside the stage added to
the outdoor effect still another very
vivid touch Of realism, and this was
heightened by the swaying Of the branch
es, and by the gracious motion OF the
draperies, under the fitful pressure OF
the strong gusts Of wind Indeed the
mistral took very telling part in the
performance. Players less perfect in
&1os 1tccnnoopfnd
by it, but these Of the Coincide Franchise
were quick to perceive and to utilize its
artistic possibilities. In the very midst
Of the solemn denunciation Of Gdipus
by Tiresias, the long white beard Of the
blind prophet suddenly was blown up
ward so that his face was hidden and
his utterance choked by it, and the mo-
mentary pause, while he raised his hand
slowly, and calmly freed his face from
this chance covering, made dramatic
break in his discourse, and added to it a
naturalness which wildly intensified its
solemn import. In like manner the final
entry Of Gdipus, coming from the pal
ace after binding himself, was made
thrillingly real For a moment, as he
came upon the stage, the horror which
he had wrought upon himself - his
CHASTITY eyesockets, his blood stained
face-was visible, and then q gust Of
wind lifted his mantle and flung it about
his head so that all was concealed, and
an exquisite pity for him was aroused
while he struggled painfully to rid him"
self Of the incumbrance-by the imposi'
tion Of this petty annoyance upon his
mortal agony Of body and Of soul
