1 features of the coming production Of l An Oriental Fete.' W.Iose managers and promoters are to be eo-operated with by the ladies of the Episcopal i church guild, as it seems to be the l general belief of many citizens that | the corps tf Turkish princesses. Gre elan goddesses and dancing girls e0n-
 stitute Part and parcel of the sultan s i harem, which is not at all the case, as | it lwIas outlined and explained by the
 conscientious and pain.staking man-
 ager that this presentation, was simply an embodiment Of the srlltan' S
 dreams. wL,, after a period Of ennui
 and fit of blues, has fallen asleep and
 dreams of these beautiful visions of female Ioveliness and wit-Etrg grace. There is to te nothing that the public can Criticise or ridicule in any way,
 but a refined and high class entertain
 ment, nothing of a variety or common
 order about it, which already after q
 few rehearsaIs promises tCt be one of
 the finest affairs Of its kird ever put
 cn by lcd-l talent, the few spectators
 who have been of necessity admitted to 1-a recent rshearsals being enthusi- astic in their praise of it's merits.
 In a recent conversation with Mr.
 Samue. Hill, who is one Of olr lead
 ing and old time merchants here, he expressed himself as being confident tha3 the present outlook of business prosperity here was something he had been locking for the past twenty years Or more, and was owing to the fact that the values in mines were here of q certainty, and only needed patience and experience to extract them from mother earth. He said it was scarcely conceivable to the general population of the territory, the immense amount of improvement and workings being placed upon and within the. mines Of this entire locality, within a radius Of f1lcEn twenty to sixty miles from here, and that we were just entering an era of business activity not known here fer many years: that while it had been 8 long lane without 3 turning, still he felt confident that the turning had been reached. and that he expect ed to reap the bonanza to fellow in a short time. His right hand man, Ir. Neil McDonald, came in from the Sber- ling mine On Wednesday, where he went t1l superintend the placing in op- eTaIion of the new h0isting works re- gently constructed there by them.
 The nl5ise of hammering boiler metal which has been deafening the ears of the residents in the vicinity of the old Ruffncr stables has been caused by the activity of the mon employed by Mir. J. ". Brown in the construc- ton of two new twelty-to2 cyanide outfits, consisting of eighteen huge tanks in all, half of which are de- signed for use by Mir. A. R. BurkdCu at the Placeritas mining camp in this county, and the other half for Eugene Greenwood at Cherry creek. This is only a sample of the various works be- ing put in at the different camps throughout the county at present
 At 9 meeting of the Odd Fellows lodge last week a letter was read from one of the members who is now en5Oy- ing the climate of the Philippines, which stated that the boys were to get away from there: that while they did not mind killing the Spaniar6s they did not relish sending the heathen t.. their everlasting doom without 9 chance of their being con- verted into good United States citizens first. Tn connection with this it may be of interest to tell our readers that this lodge (ATiZona Lodge No. D has been more than well represented dur ing the late war, as, out of a mem bership icf siXty-fVe, a total Of twelve enlisted for the service and went to war with the Rough Riders. which is a larger percentage than can be shown by any other lodge in the United States. This lodge may well be proud of it's rec-cd, f,ir while being strictly benevoleat in principle. it is certainly rl2t lacking iE most patriotic instinca5. The lodge is on the decided increase here as else where, there being enc or more initia- ions every lodge meeting, and degree work going on in this and subordinate lodges. -t is the wish and intention 3f the oTCi5T to send one of the soon to be feGged graduates of the high school. Miss Florence Fcrd, who is 9 Laughter of one of the deceased members, to the territorial normal shlc01 to fit her for a teacher She is 2ne Of the brightest and most prcmis- ng of the class of '99, and should she 1 consent to accept the honor conferred | IP0n her, it will be another illustr2- jon Of the gcicd work being done by | he lodge in this locality.
