AnItem for Pro.peetor..


 It is a well known fact, says a Vest ern paper, that location notices, writ ten in lead pencil last longer than those written in ink. IL is notice able fact, too. that where corner stakes are marked on wood in lead pen cil they last nearly as long as the post itself and are discernable ten years after their location. This fact was re gently discovered at Basin where a lo- cation was made in 1880 and the cor ner posts marked The post was al- most decayed yet the pencil marks were plain enough to read the notice Of it's original locator and the date of location.
 A notice written in ink and posted at mining location on paper will last about one year, while pencil notice will last as long and be as plain as the paper upon which it is written, will stand the clements of the weather A notice written on board or the smooth side of stake in pencil, has been known to last for fifteen years For some reason or other a notice writ- ten in ink will soon become oblterat- ed by the snows and stormy weather and is soon unintelligible while pencil writing is not defacable by anything other than intentional destruction Tn posting patent notices it is wise for miners to see that their tracipgs are written in pencil, as the ink des- criptiou of notice for patent has the same susceptibility as notice of lo- cation.
 This is very important matterand prospectors who are liable to locate claims and place corner posts should bear in mind that the rusty old stub of lead pencil is of more importance to them than a celluloid secretary with the best copying ink and a gold headed pen.

A Grand Success.

When the curtain at Marsh's Opera House arose yesterday evening upon the initial act of the Chinese extraya- ganza, Chang Ching Fou, or the Prince, the Princess and the Manda- rin,' 1t was tO house where the fa- miliar phrase standing room 0nly,p was tue misnOmer: for s0 dense was the crowd that there was hardly 'tanding room. Several days before. the last available seat had been re- served, and late corners thought thcm- selves luciiy to get il chance to st>.nd.
 The company were all in excellent 1 form, and sustained their parts with | grace and finish which were no small items in the general effectiveness of the entire rendition. The costumes were gorgeous, and the special scenery was also worthy of more than passing mention.
 One of the most attractive of the entire evenings programme was the ivy "l 'iNhCSNid' NpHSiSbliiE Ol lu- ,trumental performers The instru- ments are made from ordinary earth enware, and of various shapes and sizes. The sounds, while peculiar, are mel0dious, and in the hands of we'll trained players, as yesterday evening, produce music both novel and excel lent.
 The characters in the extravaganza, as published in TIE OASIS. were well sustained, and where all did so we'll it seems almost invidious to make any particular mention. Suffice it to say that as the emperor Mir J. B. Mix looked and acted every whit up to the most exalted standard of imperial splendor and dignity. E. K. Sykes and Y. J. Duffy. as the prince and the mandarin, and J. P Welsh as a plain ordinary Chinaman were all so lifelike in their representations of Mongolian character that it was with the utmost difficulty that Charley Meehan was,re- strained from going upon the stage and demanding that they submit to official scrutiny of their certificates of registration. Oscar Gebler was good celestial merchant, while as the Chi nese man-of-war's-m Walter Cheno- weth was sufficiently militant in ap- pearance and demeanor to send chills of apprehension through the entire Ekey was particular effective and he can consider his services as already se- cured for work up on the hill after the fourth of March, 1897. Misses Ada EKey as the Empress and Theo Spre- cher as the princess, gave careful and conscientious rendltions of very dlf- cult partS while Misses Blanche Av- cry and Olive Mix as attendants were charming and captivating.
 The special songs and dances by Harry V. Lewis, F. K. Sykes, c. w. Chenoweth and F. J Zeimet were most important feature of the eve nings performance, and brought down the house.
 Everyone participating is entitled to the most hearty congratulations upon the success of the entertainment from whatever point of view consid- cred.

RoSemont camp is not as many sup pose, a dead place, shadow of its former greatness. To the contrary it is about as lively mining camp as it has ever been. Tunnels are being run and large quantities of copper ore taken out. The smelters are not now in operation but will be started up as soon as there is sufficient ore on the dump to make long run. It takes sixty tons of ore a day to feed the massive smelters.

 SIR: You will excuse the coldness of the address contrasted with the endearng terms l formerly used in my communications to you when l tell you that T am a democrat" and think you to blame for tie condition our country is now in: and entirely responsible for the utter collapse, route, and overthrow of the party at the last election. AL no time since the organization of the democratic party had there been such an oppOr- tunity: both houses of congress were ours. and supposed democratic presidents: all the old war issues over shad0wed and swept aside by the heretical Sinbad of protection hoisted upon our shoulders by the war and kept there since by our friends the enemy. In my minds eye 1 see you sit little higher up on the back of your neck. and hear you grunt some tleng about not being responsible for the sins of omission'Of congress. You were responsible, you ARE responsible. If you had kept your porcine snOut in
 it's proper place wherever may be is beside the question and moi poked it into or among congressional business with which you had, or should have had nothing to do, something might have been done for the doing Of which a supposed democratic president and democratic congress were elected.
 Whemyou left Washington upon the expiration of your first term, you were the idol of the democratic party. Millions of democrats, and hundreds of thousands of republicans, looked upon you as an exponent of all that was patriotic, honorable and just in politics. a man ready at all times to do that which he thought right, re- gardless of personal consequences, and endowed with the frmness of purpose necessary to carry out the will of those who elected him.
 To-day, how different. To-day you stand as the exponent of all that is chimerical. mean and small, in pOli- tics; a man readyat all times to do the will of the bond holder and the gold bug, and that "frmness Of purposen turns out to be simon pure article of peg headed obStinacy. When you called that extra session of congress, I in common with the democratic party supposed that during the session some steps would be taken to carry out or redeem the pledges made by the leaders of the party. But mol The Sherman act was the red rag that ex- cited your ire; and even while you were promising patronage to some congressman. and withholding it from others, to secure votes to attain your object, few deluded democrats still hoped, and some even thought, that in the enlargement of one end of your spinal cord, there lay some great statesman-like idea of clearing the ground for a free coinage act, at the old, or any ratio. Needless now to say we were disappointed, for if either end of your spinal cord is enlarged it is not the upper. To-day you are jest ed at yah republicans, and eSecrat- ed by the majority of Democrats, who would be glad, more than glad, to see a republican in your place, CT even that freak of nature, a populist. But we are doomed to two years more of you, unless the benign and benellcent
