Hoyt's De Luxe Edition.

"a Stranger in New York" the latest
and best comedy work of Charles II.
Hoyt, has the distinction OF playing to
larger and more enthusiastic audiences
last season than any other Hoyt attrac-
tion. The play is admittedly u delight
bit of Hoytian comedy. 1t recites the

join party bound for the French ball.
The party is finally completed with many
interesting and amusing characters num-
bered among it's members. They visit
the scene of the ball, and the laughable
and ludicrous experiences cannot be even
outlined. They must be seen to lie ap-
preciated.
The company is the strongest ever sent
upon the road by Mr.. Hoyt. and is head
cd by Paul Nicholson, Jr., who was lead
ing comedian with the Alice Nielsen Op-
era Company last season, and he seems
to be particularly well fitted for the
character of The Stranger" or the char
acter well fitted to him, no matter which
way it is put.
Each member OF the cast has been
chosen with careful regard to their abil-
ity, including the leading lights in the
field OF lyric comedy, and the farce is re
plete with clever and attractive special
ties, deftly introduced. The costumes
and scenic environments will be the most
elaborate that have been seen in this
city for several seasons. The end OF the
second act, showing the far famed scene
at the French ball, ia bit Of artistic re.
alism which good judges declare has
never been equaled on any stage for mag
netic coloring and exquisite costuming.
Good singing Is a feature. the piece be-
ing abundsntly supplied with merry ly.
Tlcs, music Of tho catchiest order, en-
bracing everything from up to date topi-
cal songs TO travcsties on grand opera.
Mr.. Hoyt has selected the feminine
contingent OF the company with extraor-
dnary care, Youth and prepossessing
appearance were made essential, and
every type Of loveliness 10 introduced.

COPPER VEIN NEAR GOLDEN.

The past few Gays have revived the
mining excitement in Golden, says the
correspondent of the Denver Republi-
can. Henry Koch, owner Of Lookout
mountain, who for sixteen years has
searched persistently for we'll defined
copper vein which he believes exists in
the foot hills west of Golden, has been
showing to few friends samples OF cop
bearing ore claimed to assay 33 per
cent copper per ton, with percentage
OF iron. Koch claims to have opened
the main vein. The display OF ore has
caused considerable excitement, in view
OF the fact that he has driven tunnel
175 feet, and sunk number OF shafts on
the line OF the copper vein.

State Commissioner Harry A. Lee is
interesting himself in behalf of the state
