OUR BOYS LAST NIGHT. +"

1t was all right all right-except the
audience. But those who failed TO come
on account of the inclement weather
missed one Of the best shows of the sea-
son, professional or otherwise. If one
had not known the players, they would
have taken them for play-actors, and ac-
tors high up in the professional the
very top. The Clique Dramatique is a
decided success. The audience was eff
fervescent, running over with praises and
could say nothing too complimentary
The play should be repeated on some
mild, mellow evening and it is certain
that before the curtain is rung up Stand
ing room only" will have to be put up
at the door.
1t is hard to specify the stars of the
play. Al the characArs were so well
delineated even down to the subs" Miss
Julia Dewey as Mary Melrose was star
and seemed to please the audience most
and Miss Ethel Bagley as Belinda, the
servant girl, could not be improved upon,
Mr.. Jaques Busbee as Talbert the
dudish son of an English lord, and Mr.
V. FL. Boyden as Mr.. Middlewick, the re-
tired merchant received round
after round Of applause, but from Sir
Geoffry Champneys (Mr, Tom Bush)
down TO Poodle, the butler (Mr Watkins
Robards), who displayed unlocked for
"histrionic talent" and Kempster, the
coach man, Mr.. Robt. Gray, no criticism,
but the most approving comments could
be made. The beautiful Miss Pearce as
Violet Melrose, the heiress, and her ardent
lover, DIR. Hebert Register, as Charles
Aiddlewick, presented extremely diff
cult parts in the most approved profess
sional manner. Miss Annie Busbee as
the old-maid sister of Sir Geoffry, play
ed as excellent part as did Mr.. Bush III
his representation Of genuine English
Lord. The best compliment that can be
paid the play is that the acting made the
play and not the play the situations
and the audience was charmed.
The play should certainly be repeated
and it is hoped other presentations viii be
given by these amateurs.

Ills LOST WIFE is FOUND.
MRS. CONVICTION AGAIN AT HER

of the Park Hotel Raleigh, yesterday
morning.
Mr.. and Mrs Covington breakfasted
in Raleigh and left at once for their home
in Lenoir.
About three weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs
Covington were married at Whitevile
She was a Miss futile, the daughter of
Rev. J. It. futile, of Whiteville.
After being in Lenoir ten days she dis
appeared and no one knew where she
was. Her husband has been hunting for
her day and night, and Mt last has found
her.
The case created good deal of excite
ment in Lenoir, and grave apprehension
was expressed by the lady's friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Covington arrived here
from the North yesterday morning, and
spent a few hours in the city.
The Hickory Times last week said:
THE people of Lenoir are excited over
the strange actions of Mrs. Walter Cow
ington. Mrs. Covington was married only
two weeks ago. She had been in Lenoir
ten days. Tuesday she asked her hus-
band for money and was given SIS. With
this she boarded the train for Hickory,
telling the conductor she was only going
to that point. At Hickory she asked the
station agent about the price Of a ticket
to Baltimore, and how many changes she
would have to make to get there. She
then bought a ticket for Salisbury and
boarded the Western train. She was
on the train when it passed Statesville,
but beyond that there is no news Of her.
Her husband knew nothing of her
leaving until he went to supper Tuesday
night. A telegram was sent to Mrs

a soul was left in camp to tell the story
of its former glory or to predict it's
future.
The mining camp of Alta was dis
covered early in the sixties by General
Connors soldiers, and for some time
there was considerable activity in that
locality; but nothing especially worthy
of mention was accomplished and for
while the camp was practically aban-
doned.
Later on, about the year 1857. the
district sprang into prominence again,
and the North Star was discovered and
worked by H. L. Bruner of Philadel-
plia. who built a smelter a the mine,
which proved a failure, and the mine.
for some reason, probably because of
ineAperience did not come up to ex-
pectatiors in production, and the old
smelter and mine stand today as mon
uments to the enterprise but poor judg-
ment on the part of this gentleman.
In 1868 Colonel J. F. Woodman and
r. B. Chisholm, who were then oper-
ating in Pahranagat valley, Lincoln
county, Nevada, began prospecting in
Little Cottonwood canyon, and during
the same year Colonel Woodman dis
covered and located the famous Emma
mine; and this great property was
opened up by Colonel Woodman. r. B.

lish syndicate in 1871, at which time
the earnings of the property had been
about $1,000, 900.
The English company then put in an
extensive plant and took out about two
million more, when it encountered a

that day the property has been prac-

with every indication that it will at
some day in the near future secure a
new lease of life and once again as
tonish the world with the marvellous
wealth Of its mineral deposits, which
are by no means exhausted as yet.
At the time of the discoveryo f the
Emma mine, a little prospecting was
going on in what is now Park City,
and Tintic district was virtually I'M
known. At this time Louis Simmons,
a son-in-law of Kit Carson, was at
work on the Green Monster mine in
the Park City region, and the miners
employed at Alta received hattering

Mr. Day succumbed to a paralytic
stroke. and the end was not uneXpect-
ed. He had enjoyed excellent health
UP to last winter. when he was stricken
by paralysis while visiting in Cali
fornia. He came home very much en-
feebled in health. but rallied and re-
gained much of his former vigor, but
last week the second stroke came. At
Q O'Clock Friday morning he passed
away.
Mr.. Day came to Galena in 1884 when
a lad of Is. He was of Scolch-Irish
lineage and a Virginian by birth.
His father, Erasmus Day, was one of
the first settlers of Vinegar Hill and
was a farmer and justice of The peace

his earlier life here. engaging in var
ious pursuits, and he saw the develop
ment of Galena from an embryo min
ing camp to. as it was in the SOS, the
chief commercial mart of the north

but was at one time engaged in bust

Gray, also a member of one of the pio-
neer families OF Galena. who survives

When the cosrercial glory of Galena
began to wane Mr. Day decided to try
his fortunes in the new west. toward
which steady stream of immigration
was then pouring. He went to the gold
fields of California and lived in the
west twenty years. Those were times
of adventure of all kinds in the west
and he experienced his share.

developed into a veritable bonanza,
and dividends from Mr.. Days six

In a short time he cleared up about
a quarter of a million dollars.
Having made his fortune he return
ed to Galena and bought a pretty
home at Millhrig, where he spent his
last years. although he made frequent
visits to California. He also bought

mines, all noted producers in their
day, were found and developed, and
from 1869 to 1876 the head of Little

in 1871 it was by all odds the most i'm
portant and prolific camp in Utah.
Of the four men who assisted in max
ing Alta what it was, and who are
deserving of the credit of opening up
and developing the richest camp that
Utah has ever known, but one is alive
today. This is Colonel Woodman, a
respected and honored citizen of this
city. who, although we'll along in years,
is still actively engaged in mining en-
terprises. After leaving Alta he en-
gagged in mining in Eureka, Tintic, and
was largely identified in the opening
and development of the Centennal-Eu-
reka mine, which is clasSed as one of
the richest mines in Utah today, and
in whith he still holds office and owns
large block of stock; besides which,
he is prominent in Deep Creek mining
and other enterprises calculated to ban

l4tG STOCK EXCHANGE.
The Benefits Derived Through This
Organization.

Now that the stock exchange has
taken a. months vacation during the
heated term, it might be we'll to review
its history in order TO snow more
forcibIy the good this institution has
done the mining industry since it's
organization.
In the first place, it would be well
to state that prior to the organization
of the exchange there was no official
quotation on mining stocks in this CITY,
and therefore the dealings in this line
of securities were necessarily limited,
and it was difficult to determine the
actual selling price Of nearly all OF the
stocks on this market.
With the opening of the exchange,
however, quotations were established,
and whether or not sales were made,
the public were enabled to learn the
comparative value Of the stocks listed,
and could govern themselves according
", some hing they could not do be-
fore; and more, the exchange brought
buyer and seller together, and the
volume of business was largely in
creased.
One noticeable feature in connection
with the exchange is that it was an
impossibility almost, to sell mining
stocks in Salt Lake city until ain OF
fetal quotation had been given them
by the board; and these quotations, as
published in the daily papers and cir
culated far and wide, have interested
outside capital N Utah stocks, much
to the advantage of. the mining in
dustry in this state; for stocks, without
the advantage of an official market,
would soon prove damper to our
mining interests. and without this
means of ascertaining the market value
of stocks, interest in mining. and the
purchase of stocks for investment and
speculation would very soon decrease
very materially.
In the mining camps of Utah there
are many who are greatly interested
in the exchange; and yesterday some
Eureka citizens, who are taking in the
carnival, stated that they would, if
necessary, make dona tons in order to
keep the board alive.
AS soon as the vacation is over it
is believed that the reopening of the
exchange will be attended with greater
interest and activity than ever, and
that by that time mining men and
brokers will have learned to more fully
apurepiate its usefulness

Grade Quartz Ore.

Uncovered Large Body of High
Grade Quartz Ore.
George Dern, one of the directors of
the Mercur Mining company, who re-
turned to the city Wednesday night,
brought with him samples of ore from
this magnificent producer which is diff
ferent IN character from any yet found
in the mine, being hinty quartz,
impregnated with cinnibar, that from
two assays made, shows values of $29
and $33 in gold to the ton
This ore came from the main Ruby
inclinezshaft on the Mercur ledge,
which is now down 800 feet on the dip
of the vein, the face being in a solid
body of good grade milling ore.
The drift aforementioned was
started at a distance of $50 feet below
the tunnel level and has been driven
thirty feet in a southerly direction into
the hill; and the ore encountered and
blocked out is a fiinty-quartz, as al

returns.

were encountered that carried values
of $1,000 in the precious metals to the

was found to be more profitable to ship
to Wales, and this was done until the
