The passionate quick movement is resumed. subject to con- siderable development Gin the course of which occurs a striking phrase for trum- pets and bassoons) and again Is succeed ed by the Andante. A short but inn pressive Coda brings the movement to an end.
 The striking and original piece which follows is in the unusual time of five crotchets in a bar. It flows along, how ever, with perfect smoothness and ease. The melody of Its second theme is ac- companied throughout by low D on the bass instruments and drum, which beat

Embarrassed by leading Ques- tions, unable to give satisfactory an- swers to his various relatives, sur rounded by people he had met in prison, and bothered by the we'll meaning but bungling efforts of the Majors, he at last is able to extricate himself by the arrival of the waiter, who has recognized Mrs. Fitzhugh, and who now puts an end to his wife's awkward influence as the curtain falls

the time with an effect that becomes tragic in its insistence.
 The third movement opens with a rush ing passage in trinlets that continues more or less, throughout the piece, as sort of background for the fiery march tune which forms the chief theme, and which does not appear until it has been suggested for some time in fragmentary form. The movement becomes more and more triumphant and brilliant as 1t pro- ceeds, and, reaching a climax oi enc. sy, ends.
 The finale Is based almost entirely on two themes; the first seems to plead for sympathy, the second to bestow consola- tion. Toward the close, which grows even more and more despairing, a moan ing passage is heard on the brass instru- ments, and with the ''consoling" theme, now heard in the minor key. the music flnishes-in hopeless gloom.

This is the story of the play: An ignorant farmer by the name of Rodgers, who, together with ms cratic wife and marriageable daughter, lives on a piece of land in North Carolina, is one day surprised by the appearance of a mining specu- lator who, under the impression that valuable mineral deposit is in the soil, makes an offer to purchase it. The offer is accepted and deposit paid down, pending an investigation as to the lands mineral value. Rodgers and his family betake themselves to Paris, where they are followed by Dave, a poor and honest young farmer, who has wooed and been refused the hand of Esmeralda for reason that he is neither rich nor noble enough to please Esmeralda'S mamma. It comes to the knowledge of Dave that the rich mineral deposit lies not in the land of | the Rodgers family but in his own and that of a neighboring strip, which has recently come to him through the death of relative. Hearing this news the nobleman of Mrs. Rodgers choice flies to other parts with another girl, whereupon Mrs. Rodgers repents, Miss | Rodgers consents and Dave is made a happy bridegroom.

It Is hardly as ambitious a work musically as "Shamus O'Brien," but in the East 1t was much more popular than that opera. The book is said to be a good one and the score reveals music that is not only catchy, but high above the ordinary in melodic and harmonic in vention. Arthur Donaldson has been specially engaged for the title role. MT. Leary toured with the original pro- duction and doubtless will be given his old part in the Tivoli's cast.

Monday Governor Richards granted
a pardon to John Shaw of Hanna, Car

The secretary of the interior has or
dered an examination of the region OF
country included in the Medicine Bow
mountain range, In both Colorado and
Wyoming. with the view to determine
the ACCESSIBILITY Of setting apart the
lands for a forest reservation
The inspectors who are to make the
examination Of the lands are instruct
ed by the department to report 'wheth-
er the lands are better adapted to for
est uses than other purposes" and this
instruction is interpreted by the de-
partment to mean whether the pre-
servatiou of the timber for present and
future use and as a water conservative
constitutes the foremost consideration
in connection with these lands"

WYOMING MINERALS.
Green River Soda Wells and ROCK
Springs Coal Mines.

The following is from a special cor
respondent of the New York Engineer
ing and Mining Journal:
Green River Soda Wells-The Green
River Fuel and Oil company. while
linking a well in the expectation of
finding a bed of coal or a flow Of Pc
troleum in 1896, struck water heavily
charged with carbonate of soda. This
being the only natural we'll CT its kind
in the United States, 1T attracted wide
attention. A number of people have
visited Green River to fully investi-
gate its economic value, but as yet
nothing has been accomplished. Last
week a visit was paid by Herman
Harms. a well known chemist OF Salt
Lake, in the interest of probable in
vestors. He took away several bottles
of the water for analysis. The solid
residue, after evaporation. contains, as
he reports: Sodium sesQuicarbonate
(~anhydrous), S2.58 per cent; water,
1886 per cent; silica. OPS per cent;
alumina. 0.05 per cent; sodium chlor-
ide, OILS per cent; magnesium chloride,
trace: calcium chloride. trace. The
substance is entirely free from iron,
potassium salts and sulphates, with
hut lite sodium chloride and the mer-
est trace of alumine and magnesium
and calcium chlorides, which ordinarily
are the chief impurities Of sal soda.
The test vas also made for arsenic,
lead, supplies, hyposulphites and am
monia with negative results. Mr..
Harms is confident Of the profitable
outcome of works started on a small
scale for making commercial heavy
chemicals, the sole ptoviso being the
permanency Of the supply Of this alkaL
water, about which there appears to
he little or no question. Further in
teresting particulars will probably be
made known in the near future.
Union Pacific Coal Company-At
Rock Springs the company at present
Is working four mines on two separate
seams, I to IA feet thick, dipping west
S to - degree-outputting $500 tons
daily OF prime Ignite and employing
1850 men. Thus far the current year
the production is 20 per cent greater
than for same months OF 1897, and the
indications are that this rate Of in.
crease will fully hold for the next three
months. Here is obtained the cheit
supply for the Union Pacific system and
the coal is marketed east to the Mis-.
souri, river, west to California, and II
sold quite largely in Montana, Idaho
and Washington. At the Hanna mine
the output is 1000 tons daily, giving
employment to 300 men. The labo1
trouble there Is ended and everything
is running smoothly.
Sweetwater Coal and Mining Com.
pany-Production is averaging 1,1O(
tons a day, employing about 200 min.
ers. Sweetwater is a favorite Goa.
throughout the entire intermountaiI
country. This is proving one OF thu
