FabiO ROmani.

From the New York Clipper,
Alden Benedict's Fabio Romani Com
pany opened at the Grand Opera House
last night to a magnificent audience.
The peice contains many thrilling situ-
atoms and displays beautiful scenery,
especially IN the first and last acts, rep
resenting the city of Naples with. its
magnificent bay. In the last act the
same picture is presented with the addir
ton of Mt. Vesuvius in active eruption,
accompanied by the roar of an earth
quake and the crumbling of buildings.
1t is, indeed, an effective picture. With
these auxiliaries and a strong cast, FabiO
Romani should prove a money maker
for Manager Benedict. Charles Mack
lin the title role las Horatio Applety, he
also played Gaspero Petremoulo, the
thug: John Jay Palmer as Guido Fer
rari; Geo. c.. Denton as Pietro and
Addie Farwell as Mother Biscardi, were
excellent, and did some clever acting,
while as Nina, the false wife. was as
near perfection as possible without
being a reality. One could easily imag-
inc he saw a woman who cared nothing
for a mans love. but who delighted in
the possession of gold and jewels, false
as the most captivating siren, and ever
ready TO throw womanly virtue to the
winds for a nsw lover, capable of graft
fying her desire for jewels. Her acting
was perfect, and when bereft of her
reason in the last act while in the mau
solemn of the Romani family, her
pleadings were pitiful. This was the
finest piece of acting during the play,
and gave to both Miss Summer and Mr..
Macklin an opportunity to display their
fullest ability. Miss Therese Milford's
emotion and Mr.. Macklin's portrayal of
a man whose idol had proved false, and
whose sole desire was the worst kind of
revenge, called for umerou outbursts
OF applause. The Spanish skirt, serpen-
tine and stereopticOn dances by Miss
Grace Hunter, was one of the strong
features.

your body you are going to fall sick. The
signs of it are: loss OF flesh, paleness weak.

is food. You think you eat enough, and
yet you feel that you wear but more it's
sue, energy, nerve-force, than your food
makes for you. The difficulty is thai you
do not digest enough. And this is so SER

think about. If you can't digest what
you eat, take a few doses of Shaker Diges-

ARGONIA ENTERTAINs.

One of the most interesting college en-
tertainments it has ever been our pleasure
to attend, was given by the Argonia Lit
erary Society, of Central Female College,
last Monday evening, at the New Grand
opera house. 1t was the celebration of
the SIXTH anniversary of this society, aud
the entertainment was given compliment
tary to the school and friends. The
opera house was well filed with an en-
thusiastic audience of admiring friends of
the society and school,. They anticipated
an evening OF excellent enjoyment from
the program prepared, as we'll as the rep
utation of the Argonians for meeting
every requirement in this respect.
The program on this occasion was a
splendid one, including in its rendition
some of the best talent of the school. We
shal not attempt to discriminate as to
the respective merits of each young lady
who took part. Each number was well
received, and the spontaneous applause
andl numerous encores testified to the
appreciation of the audience. The young
ladies acquitted themselves with an air of
grace and dignity that was charming,
rejecting credit alike upon themselves
and school. The entertainment was a
pronounced success.

CONDITIONS UP IN IDAHO.
Heavy Shows Have Interfered With
Mining.

A gentleman who had just come from
Silver City, Ida, was seen by a Her
aid representative yesterday. He stated
there never was so much snow in the
camp as there is this winter The town
is almost covered UP and all that can
be seen of many houses is the chimney
above the snow. One business man
had a tunnel built through a huge bank
to the entrance to his building.
The Black Jack and the Trade Dol
lar are the only paving mines in opera
ton, but both are working large force
of men.
At the Poorman mine shaft is being
put down leo feet farther, and it is said
that this property will soon be on a,
paying basis, as a fine body of ore has
been encountered in its workings.
The Morning Star bids fair to be one
one of the best mines in the camp, and
a large force of men are at work in
development.
The Tip Top. in which W. S. McCor-
nick of Salt Lake is interested, is stand
ing idle at the present time, but is con-
sidered as one of the best properties in
the district
The Florida Mountain mine and mill
at Dewey is shut down on account of
the company not being able to get the
tramway from the mine to the mill
snow. 1t will probably be the middle of
May before operations are resumed.
As q consequence of this shutdown
there are a great many idle men in the
camp.
At Dewey a palatial residence has
been completed and fitted with all mod
ern conveniences by Colonel W. H.
Dewey who is one of the principal
in the Black Jack and
Florida Mountain mines. Colonel Dewey
is one of the pioneers of the camp and
was the protector of the B. n. & o.
railway, which leaves the Oregon Short
Line at Nampa. The road is completed
to the Snake river, on which regular
train service was inaugurated on the
18th inst. The new iron bridge across
the river. which will cost fully SIS, 000 !
will soon be finished, and then the road /
will be pushed on toward the mines !
The terminus of the line will be at
Dewey, and it is expected that this |
point will be reached and trains run
ming by the first of January next.

The HELPS Kitchen Mine.

The old mine which has recently been
discovered and which is supposed to be
an excavation Of Mexican origin, says
the Manti Messenger, is located a
short distance north Of what is termed
.Eells Kitchen. 1t was visited a
short time ago by Ole Peterson and
S. T. Beck, two of our most enterpris-
ing citizens, who removed large
quantity of sand and. dirt which had
seemingly filed up the entrance. Lead
ing down into the hole from the west
are a number of stone steps inclining
gradually downward and towards the
south The loose material which OBJ

boxes. in which the amateur gold-dig-
gers had brought their provisions, to a
distance of about 30 feet. Here seemed

in the early days in the history of
INNING IN Utah, Beaver county was
CONSIDERED as one of the most prolific
producers of the precious metals in the
state, and today it is a well known fact
that there are more good mining ca.mns
within the environment of this county
than can be found in any other portion
OF the commonwealth; but for some
reason or other they have been virtu
ally abandoned for many years, and.
with the exception of the Horn Silver
at Frisco there is hardly a producer in
the county at the present time. al
though it is well known that there are
old properties in the different camps
that with but little work could again
be placed on the shipping list
Old Star was one of the mcst noted
camps in Beaver county at one time
and there is no doubt but that with
work it would soon find a place on the
list as a heavy producer, and it is be-
ileved that in the near future more than
usual attention will be paid to this
famous old district by the mining men
of the state, and that with the resur-
rection of the mines of this district old
Shauntee, adjoining, will once again
spring into prominence.
AT one time the Burning Moscow
mine, which is located on the west
side of Star district, was one of the
heaviest producers of the then terri
tory of Utah, and it was a regular
contributor to the smelter at Shaun
tee. For a number of years this old
mine has been abandoned and neg
lected, but a few months ago Hon. !
Matt Cullen, the principal owner of the |
property, resumed work in it's develop |
ment, which consisted in the Yunhhig !
the mine for the purpose of making /
with the old workings On !
the other side of the hill, and now it |
is believed that this ancient wealth !
producer will again enrich it's owner,
as it is learned from p 5. Martin, one !
Of the pioneers of Beaver county, who |
is in the city on business, that ii is

however, that the report is true They
content themselves with saying such a
thing is possible.

erty. His inspection was satisfactory

The writer learned last evening from
a stockholder of the Constellation mine
that the prospects there are much better
this than last week. The entire force of
three shifts is drifting on the ledge which
is growing larger continually. The
quality of the rock is also improving He
thinks that the time is not far distant
when the Constellation will be ranked
among the shippers of Park City.
The date for the resumption of work
at the Marsac mill has not been agreed
upon, nor is it likely to be until the re-
turn of Superintendent Chambers from
San Francisco. Mr.. Chambers is ex-
Dected to start for Salt Lake about the
9th and may reach Park City about the
18th The ore in the Marsac bins now
Is in the neighborhood OF 900 TONS The
condition of Empire canyon road is as
signed as the reason for the prolonged
shutdown of the mill. but in all proba-
biltty the low price of silver has some
thing to do with it also.
