The play is good one with scenes
and incidents of the civil war when
the blue and the gray met in deadly
combat. The stage proved too
small for tine rendition Of the play
with proper effect.
The many different roles were
we'll sustained and for an amateur
performance it reflected great credit
on the club. Several of the mem.
bers showed a great deal of dra-
matte ability and acted their parts
to perfection.
1t was Miss Burkett's first ap-
pearance before the tootlights and
she sustained her role admirably.
Miss Fuld is so sweet and vica-
cious in her manner that she never
fails to captivate the audience. She
is most effective in the love scenes
Miss Fenton showed too much
of the marble heart" in her acting.
She lacks emotion, yet looked very
sweet on the stage.
Messrs. Ensign, Anderson, Fuld
and Pearson were especially fine in
their respective roles.
Mr.. McKibben was very good in
his role.
James Wallace Pearson as Private
O'Rouke "had the whole map OF
Ireland in his face" He acted his
role to perfection. His brogue and
make up was fine. His two comic
songs sang between the second
and third acts brought down the
house. The first was entitled
Brigadier Brannigan," an Irish
character song which was heartily
encored. Mr.. Pearson responded
with The Warriors Return"
side-splitting parody on "Sweet

and hungry volunteer who never
got enough to eat during the "wah. ,"
THE MINES.
While below we gathered a few
items about the mines in the vicin-
ity of HALEY. There is considera-
BILE activity in local mining circles.
At the Tip Top a 20 stamp mill is
nearly completed and there are
about forty men employed at the
mill and mine. An expert reported
100000 of ore in sight on that
property.
At the Democrat mine which is
owned by Messrs. Watt & Brennan,
Is men are employed and there are
two sub-leasers working on the
property, Henry Warning being
one of them He has recently
moved his family from East Fork
to the Democrat mine.
A sale of the Cresus is pending
which is expected to be consum-
mated some time next week when
a big force of miners will be put to
work on the property.
The business men of the county
seat feel much encouraged over the
outlook. Ketchum congratulates
her sister town on her prospects OF
having a boom.

nounced that Major-General Fitzhugh
Lee, Major General Joe Wheeler and
Major General James H. Wilson would

form the volunteer men into three army

The first installment of equipment for

tributed. Recruits are now coming in
rapidly. One hundred reached here to-
day, and information from recruiting
officers is to the effect that all the re-
cruits required will be obtained In a
comparatively short time. 1t has been
decided to locate the camp of the volun-
teer army on the west side of Lafayette
road, near Chickamauga Creeke, and
force of men has been at work prepar
ing the grounds and getting them ready
for occupancy. The railroad company

The vessel which pursued the cruiser
Montgomery is supposed to have been

the capture of the island by this coun-

poor craftsmanship on the part of the
Spaniards saved the Vicksburg and the
cutter Morrill, from destruction in Ha-
vana harbor yesterday morning. FOR
over half an hour they were under the
fire of the guns of the Santa cara
water batteries. but both escaped with
out material injury, although shrapnel
from S-inch guns exploded all about
them, and both now show the scars
Of the Spanish bullets.
The willy Spanards had arranged
trap to send couple of our ships TO
the bottom; they baited it just as a
man would bait a trap. a small schoon-
er was sent out from Havana harbor
shortly before daylight yesterday morn
ing to draw some of the Americans
into the ambuscade. The ruse worked
like a charm. The Vicksburg and the
Morrill,, in the heat of the chase, and
in their contempt for Spanish gunnery,
walked straight into the trap that had
been set for them. Had the Spaniards
possessed their souls in patience but
five minutes longer, not even the bad
gun practice would have saved our
ships, and this morning two more Of
our vessels would lie at the bottom,
within two lengths of the wreck of the
Maine.
Friday evening the Vicksburg and
the Morrill, cruising to the west OF
MORO Castle. were fired upon by the
big guns of the Cojimar batteries. Two
shots were fired at the Vicksburg and
one at the Morrill,. Both fell short, and
both vessels. without returning the fire,
steamed out of range. 1t would have
been folly to have done otherwise. But
yesterday morning the Spaniards had
better luck The schooner they had sent
out before daylight ran off to the east
ward. hugging the shore with the wind
on her starboard quarter. About three
miles east of the entrance of the harbor
she came over on the port tack A
light haze fringed the horizon, and she
was not discovered until three miles off
shore, when the Mayflower made her
out and signaled the Morrill, and Vicks-
burg.
Captain Smith Of the Morrill, and
Commander Lilly of the Vicksburg i'm
mediately put on all steam and started
in pursuit.
The schooner instantly put about and
ran for MORO Castle before the wind.
In doing so she would, according to
the well-conceived Spanish plot, lead
the two American warshps directly
under the guns of the Santa Clara bat
teries. These works are a short mile
west of MORO, and are a part of the
defenses of the harbor. There are two
batteries, one at the shore. which has
been recently thrown up, of sand and
mortar, with wide embrasures for
S-inch guns, and the other on the crest
of the rocky eminence which juts out
into the gulf at this point. The upper
