A FAIR REBEL,

The r. E.. french Theater Co., which
produced Hands Across the Sea, at the
Family Theater last week so successfully,
will tonight produce for the first time in
this city Harry P. Mawson's great mill
tary comedy drama of a Fair Rebel" 1t
is conceded to be the equal of Held by
the Enemy or shenandoah" A beau
tiful love story runs through the play be-
tween a union colonel and a southern girl
who is "a Fair Rebel" No better drama-
tic compan has been gathered in the
Family theater since its existence. Not
only is the r.. E.. French Theater Co.,
strong, but the plays are presented with a
careful supervision of details which add
much to it's enjoyment. "A Fair Rebel
is based on incidents of the war between
the north and south and is filled with ex-
citing scenes and incidents, such as the
thrilling death of Major Watkind, the
United States telegraph operator who is
shot while tapping the wire n sending
through an important telegram. There
are also introduced a large number OF
specialties, making a continuous show.
The new specialties tonight are Moran &
McClennan, being their first appearance
in this city in their Dutch speciality and
also their cake walk. They are conced-
ed to be the best buck and wing dancers
in the country. No doubt the Family
Theater will be taxed to its fullest capac-
ity to witness "a Fair Rebel tonight.

THE SNOWSHOE MINE,

Libby News: Nothing but good news
continues to come from the SnowshOe
mine. The winze from the main tunnel
is now down rs feet and is still carrying
two and a half feet of clean ore. Pieces
Of this ore weighing as much as 200
pounds each have been brought to town
and contain less than one per cent, of
quartz, while the assay value is higher to
the ton than The product of the concen-
TRAITOR. About 35 tons of this ore has been
taken out in the sinking of the winze and
the greater part of it was left standing.
1t will be taken out and shipped from
now on.
The new hoist to continue the sinking Of
this Wine has arrived and is being put
into position at the mine There are abOut
200 tons Of encentrates still IN hand at
the mill, and it is being brought down
and shipped at the rate Of about two car
loads q week. There are five siX-hOrSe
teams at work hauling. Very little snow
has fallen since the completion of the cut
off road, and what little fell has gone off,
and the teams on Tuesday were COM
PEELED to go up over the old road and will
probably use that until snow falls again.
The work of installing the machine drill
plant is proceeding rapidly. The ore now
being shipped is going to the smelter at
Everett, Wash.

A FRACTURED SKULL.
JAMES CAVANAUGH FALLS UNDER
THE HOOPS OF A HORSE.

James, the 6-year-old son of Peter Cav
anaugh of Al Anaconda road. had his
skull fractured Saturday afternoon by the
calk of a horses shoe but has successfully
stood a t%rephining operation and is on the
road to recovery.
The boy was sliding on the ice and sue
ceeded in getting in front of one of Hen
nessy's delivery teams which was being
driven back to the store. He tried to
jump to one side but slipped n fell and
him on the head, fr%acturing both ables
Of the skull. The boy was taken into his
home and DR.. MacNevin seeing the grave
nature of the injury had him removed to
st. James hospital. The t%rephining op-
GRAFTON was successfully performed and
several pieces of bone which were press
ing on the skull were removed. The
chances for the lads recovery are good.

THE SILVER CABLE MINE.

Libby News: The Silver Gable mine
and mill are under bond and lease to
Frank M. Leonard, who is acting in the
interest of j.. A.. Coram and other Boston
capitalists. A force of ten men is at
work in the mine and development will be
continued all winter. The main tunnel is
being driven into the mountain and is
already in to a depth of 500 feet. The
lead is now five feet in width and quite
well mineraliZcd. Some work is also
being lone in the way of connecting the
raises from this%t tunnel, for the purpose Of
opening up the ore body and also i'm
proving the air in the face of the tunnel.
Mr.. Leonard has also taken a lease and
bono on the Idaho claim, which adjoins
the Silver Gable on the south and is on the
same lead. The Idaho is owned in equal
proportions by George and Thos. Bryant
and ThOs. Oliver.
This proposition now embraces nearly
a mile and a half on the main lead, near
ly all of which is patented. The mine is
equipped with a very complete Fraser &
Chalmers mill, of a capacity for treating
IS tons of ore per day, and it seems quite
likely that it will be brought into pro-
ductioh early in the spring.

A SUSPECT is
UNDER ARREST
THEODORE BOYLE LOCKED UP IN
THE COUNTY JAIL THIS
AFTERNOON.

Theodore Boyle, the scavenger, who is
suspected Of knowing whose dead body
was found near the city dump yesterday,
was locked up in the county Jail today.
He called at the sheriff's office this after
noon to volunteer some nformation and
the officers concluded he knew too much
to be at large. This afternoon Boyle's
father called at the Jail and asked per-
mission to see the suspect, but the privi-
lege was not granted. He said that a
man, whose first name was Frank, had
called at his sons house on Saturday
night. and some trouble had followed,
which resulted in the son being set upon
by a woman and Frank. The old man
further stated that during the fracas his
son had called for assistance, and he
himself had responded and driven Frank
from the place.
Boyle, the suspect, is about 80 years old
and has a wife. He conducts a scavenger
business, and, his father says, the man
Frank has been driving a team for him..
