A ROARING FARCE.
Hoyt's "a strange In New York" Pieases
n Big Audience at the Margaret.

The Margaret contained a large audi
ence last nigh to see Hoyt's great
farce comedy, "A Stranger IN New
York" The play comes up to all that
has been said of IL. and for lis kind, is
one of the best that has been presented
here this year. The cast I'm "A Stran-
ger i'm New York" is excellent, each
performer dolng his or her share of the
work in IA highly acceptable manner.
The singing, dancing n other special
ties, are of a refined and most enjoy
able character. and the ludicrous situ-
atoms with which the piece Is nlled are
such as To keen the audience I'm a con-
tinuous roar of laughter. Taken alto
gether. "a Stranger in New York can
be safely said to have won the good VIII
of more people i'm Anaconda than n
farce that has been seen here for some
time.
The presenting "A Stran-
ger is a very large one. containing
about 25 people. Among all the good
performers that young and rising actor,
Harry Rogers, stands head AM
shoulders above all. In the part OF
/. Collier Downe. Mr.. Rogers did as
clever a piece of acting as ahypouy
cares To see, and his representation Of
the Stranger was one of the most
amusing things imaginable. Joe Coyne
as The stranger in New York, was also
good. Messrs. DUNCAN, Dudley, Hat
ter. Malley. Marion, Mitchell. Martin
Woun and quinn. all acted their parts
in "A most agreeable manner. Mis-
Anna Boyd came in for most of IN,
honors among the ladies, and Mis-
Minnie McEvoy, as the wife of Downe
created no end Of laughter. Misses
Bridges. Cleveland. Mccoy and Mule
added a finish 20 "A stranger i'm New
York" that was most pleasing. From
here the company goes To Butte, wher'
"A Stranger" will no doubt meet Will
the success that Il deserves.

closed at the time of the fire. Back OF
the store room is a kitchen, and its con-

This was according to orders of Chlet

saw at a glance that less damage

would be accomplished. The fire was
promptly extinguished and the room
was not flooded nor it's contents scat

The ceiling was cloth and the walls
were lined with cloth and paper and II
all made up an excellent pile for a

MUCH JOY IN THE BURG
1t Is Believed That Work in the
Mines Will Be Resumed.
THE PROBABLE EFFECTS
How the Call" Sums Up the
and What 1t Believes the Console
dated Company Will Do for the
Camp Across the Range.

The PhiIipsburg Call takes the recent
consolidation of the Bi-Metallic and
Granite companies to mean resumption
of operations i'm the near future. SILVER
has been lowering around the 30 marx
for some time. When h big mines
over there shut down, in 1885. silver
was quoted at from 65 to IS. and IL was
given out hat the mines could not ne
worked with profit with silver selling
for those figures, and as n result oper-
atoms ceased.
However. everybody in this state
would hail with delight the announce
ment that the consolidated company
had determined to resume operations
at once. and particularly would the
west side and Philipsburg rejoice over
the news that operations were o 10
begin. II would indeed be a godsend
TO Philipsburg. for that city has brave
ly stood the test of depression. FIVE
years ago to-day there was no liveler
mining camp in Montana outside OF
Butte than the little burg across the
range. Every branch OF business
thrived. There was a bank In Granite
and two in P~hilipsburg. and they held
I'm trust many thousands OF dollars.
At a large expense the Kaiser Bros.
had just completed the building or a
| magnificent water plant wheh the
panic struck the town. Everything
WAS on tnt nlBn fodu "
since the 4th of July. 1888. a day that
was not celebrated over there. 1t has
been a comparatively dull, monotonous
pull for nearly everybody that re-
manned to await better times.
While Philipsburg Is essentially a
mining center. there are other branches
of industry there that have yielded their
share of revenue P~hilipsburg Is the
feeder for a large belt of mineral which
has been prospected and partially de-
yeloped. Placer mines in the vicinity
have not ceased to yield since the Iaii
in silver. and there are in Flint creek
valley some first-class ranches ana
stock ranges.
The Call sums up the situation in the
following words of good cheer: .
THE Call is gratifed to be able To
present to the people of Granite county
information received direct from the
st. Louis offices of the Granite Noun
tain and Bi-Metallic companies, to the
effect that "A joint arrangement mas
been made between the stockholders oil
these companies, through which mas
been created the Granite-Bi-Metallio
Consolidated Mining company.
"What does this mean? III the las'
clause of the circular letter directed &c
stockholders is understood Alright, l,
means the permanent resumption o1
silver mining by the greatest silver
mining companies in the world. as SCOT
as the properties can be put in shape
II means the treatment OF It's ore
