She passes from the scene.
Retribution. in the drama fol-
lows closely upon the crime.
Scarcely had Antigone been led
away to her death, scarcely had
the dirge been swung when
Tieresias, the blind prophet enter
ed. He tells Creon to listen to
good counsel and not to reverse
the common laws of humanity.
Let him restore Antigone and
bury Polynices.
Creon is deaf to the prophecy
for while but finally yields when
convinced of the dreadful results
that would follow.
Creon calls the attendants and
bids them to bring axes and other
implements to open the tomb.
He hurriedly makes what atone
msnt he may to the outraged
corpse of Polynices. His attend
ants wash it In pure water, bury
it and raise high mound over it.
When they approach the tomb
where Antigone had been entomb-
ed they hear shrill cry of lamen-
tation. Creon bids his slaves to
roll away the stone and an awful
scene is revealed to them.
In the farthest corner of the
tomb they see ]iaemon clasping in
his arms the dead body of Antig-
one. She had hung herself with
her garments. When Haemon
saw his father he cast furious
glance at him and drew his sword.
Creon withdrew, entreating his
son to come forth and put up his
sword.
Haemen answered not but buried
the blade in his own body. He
falls to the earth clasping Antigone
in his arms and they lie in death $
em brace. The doom is not com
pleted. Euridice, the queen mother
hears the story Of her son $ death,
before her husbands return and
rushes into the palace and hangs
herself. In the final scene Creon
crosses the stage bearing the dead
body of his son.
He is told Of his wife's death
and is then to be more pitied than
the dead.
He is BUNDLED, all JOY and do
nestle happiness, all peace If
mind are gone forever. He is the
murderer of both wife and son.
He says "And know not
which way to look or turn. All

aHect1Onate, 0areS not TO ASSIST.
Antigone is so inspired with her
desire that she does not consider
anything. Death and dishonor
are nothing as compared to the
work she has in hand.
Ismene tries to persuade her to
submit to the inevitable but this
only makes her more determined.
Antigone disdainfully rejects
her sisters offer to keep her coun-
sci and SO the sisters part, one CO.
ing to prepare her brothers body
for burial and the other into the
palace.
The chorus of grave and rever-
end elders now enter to the sound
of music and burst into a tri-
umphal hymn in honor of the last
victory.
Creon sweeps upon the stage
with long retinue of attendants
carrying the symbol of his dignity.
He delivered speech from his
throne trying to justify his policy,
which shows that he does not be-
lieve it right himself. He then re-
cites the decree but has scarcely
finished when a now character APP
pears upon the scene. He is one
of two watchmen who were to guard
the body Of Polynices. He comes
to report that some one has alread
disobey ed his mandate. The body
has had some dust sprinkled upon
it which was all that was necessary
to constitute burial.
The chorus again appear and sing
in perfect amazement of the audac
ity Of such an act. Suddenly they
break off in dlsmay and can scace-
ly believe their eyes for Antigone
walks in between two guards.
At the same time Creon enters
from the other side of the stage.
The guards then tell the story
of the capture. The guard had re-
turned to his post after removing
the dust ard after watching long
time they saw the maiden. She
uttered bitter cry to see her work
undore. The guards sprang upon
her and bound her and brought
her before the King.
Creon asks Antigone if she had
understood his mandate and yet
dared to disobey it. She proudly
replies that she understood his
command perfectly but preferred to
obey the gods rather than the
laws of the king. This appeal to
higher law incenses Creon. He
tells her that though she is his
sisters child she shall not escape
her doom.
He sends for Ismene and when
she appears he accuses her of be-
ing an accomplice. She does not
deny the charge but asks to be
allowed to die with her sister.
Antigone refuses her offer saying
that as Ismene preferred life she
should live. The chorus mourns
in the strain which follows.
Haemon, Creon s son, betrothed
to Antigone, who is perhaps the
only lover in all ancient Greek
tragedy comes now to plead for
the life of his affianced bride. Then
ensues scene, in which two
strong wills clash. Tie first and
formost of all duties in the home
and state, argues Creon, is obedi
ence. Haemen eloquently entreats
his father to listen to the voice of
reason and not to disregard public
opinion. King, though he is, let
him beware of straining the riens
of government too tightly. Creon
replies that it is only self interest
that leads his son to speak SC and

new finds made in Bountiful mining dis
trict by the Grow Bros. and Gillespie,
mention of which was made in yesterdays
Herald. These locations are about nine
miles northeast of Harrington and fif-
teen miles from this city, and as the tests
made were very encouraging the boys
will soon go out and thoroughly develop
their properties. Yesterday another pros
pecting party returned from the same To-
cality, bringing with them samples of ore
from a body or vein of ore foot wide
that was fairly lousy with gold.
A deal was consummated this week
whereby NJ. M. Freed purchased the
interest of Isadore Morris and L. w.
Pickard in the Burlington, Peete, Silver
Hill, Hasford, Columbia AMI Rustler
mines in main Bingham canyon, on a
basis of $4,000 for the entire group.
Nearly all of these lodes are producing
and paying properties and are regular
shippers. Mr. Freed made this pur-
chase in the interest of eastern CAPT
tahsts, and it is proposed to thorough
ly and extensively develop the prop
erty at an early d'ate
The theory is advanced by quite a num-
Der of mining men that under the blanket
deposit of gold bearing mineral in the
Camp Floyd district, great insure veins
will eventually be found, and that their
wealth of ore, in comparison with the
deposits of mineral already discovered,
will be as ten to one Ihe northeast frac-
lures that Prof. Emmons talks about
would in a measure sustain this theory
as these fractures are nothing more or
less than small assures. The gold values
of the district undoubtedly come from be-
low, being conducted by these fractures,
the layers of porphyry being the chosen
receptacle for their Judgment. Continued
development practically bears out this as
sertion, and there seems to be no good
reason to doubt but that under this
porphyry sheet which became changed in
its character when the gold values from
below We're filtered through it, there ex-
lists large fissure veins which carry gold
and silver ore in great quantities.
