FAMOUS BLACK CROOK. JR.

| To lovers of comedy there is promised
next Sunday night n most magnificent
production of an up to-date performance
of Black Crook, which is pronounced
everywhere as the most sumptuous array
OF beautiful scenery and effects, pretty
ladies, elegantly costumed, funny COM
edians, bright and catchy specalties,
good acting and altogether a performance
that is offered once in great while.
The transformation at the close of the
performances is dress of beauty, re
quiring the greatest number of drops
and set pieces ever taken on the road.
And as each scene scitly dissnlves, dis
closing more beautiful scene than
the other, one is really bewildered until
the end, when burst of applause, i'm
possible to refrain from, fills the theater.
There is the great incantation scene-of
devils haunts, full of dragons, snakes,
hooting owls, boiling cauldrons, fire and
effects, simply beweldering. The fairy
dell of fairies asleep on the border of
dreamland, the queen and her white swan
gondola, the cave of gold, the magnificent
palace scene, the Internal scene, the
the depths below; in fact nothing is used
by this company but what is especially
prepared for this piece.
Fancy this scenic display as the frame
work for up-to-date comedians and spec
ialties to be introduced. 1t throws all
the farce comedy productions of the day
into oblivion. There are four beautiful
Partisan dancers especially engaged to
entertain the fairies guests.
Seats on sale at Couch's Prices 80 and

The Observer Mi3i7@ Department.

American. A commission has been ap-
pointed in France to study all apparatus
and methods employed by socerers,
water seers and wizards who use the
divining rod, mineral rod, pendulums,
microscopic compasses and the other in
strumcnts which go by host of other
fanciful names. The French engineer,
NJ. Brother de RoIliere, is the president
of the commission. He will procure
divning rods of all kinds, including
books, reviews, journals, reports OF ex-
periments, together with the names and
addresses of inventors of the alleged de-
vices. All the facts and documents may
be sent to M. de Ro!liere, care Cosmos,
s Rue Francois Premier, Paris, France.
1t is to be hoped that the findings of this
commission WILL once for all, settle the
question of the divining rod, not only
for the discovery of water but also of
minerals. In England particularly the
water diviner plies his lucrative profess
sion without legal interference, and,
strange to say, his dupes are often town
authorities. The whole business is akin
to that of fortune teller, the spiritualist
or any other charlatan, and it is strange
that the exponents of such systems are
allowed to openly pursue their avocations
undisturbed by few prosecutions. At
present the victims are the only ones
punished.

mankind. The day is not far distant
when ali other industries will sink into
insignificance along side Of that of min

FORTY POUNDS OF GOLD.

The manager OF the Gunnell Gold
Mining company, Frank G. Young, last
Thursday deposited at the First Ma
tional bank, this city, $40 ources-forty
pounds-of gold, which embraced three
fine retorts, one OF them weighing 161a
pounds, being the result of clean up
from run made at ono OF the company's
stamp mills in Black Hawk on ore taken
from the lower level of the pump shaft
on the Gunnell mine. The gold repre-
sented a valuation of sll ,24O, rating gold
at SO per ounce, which it brings at the
banks in this city. Mr.. Joseph Neide-
mier, the underground superintendent,
has now force Of miners at work in
sinking the shaft on the Grand Army
portion OF the Gunnell vein, as we'll as
the shaft known as the pump shaft east
of the former. A cross-cut is being
driven north to intersect the Little Gun
NELL from which was taken ore that con-
tained high values in gold when worked
by the old Gunnell Mining company.
The developments mapped out by Mr..
Young some time ago, when completed,
will open up virgin ground sufficient to
greatly increase the present daily output
OF ore, as also increase the number OF
miners in the company's employ, as well
as increase the monthly output OF gold.

the following sensible advice regarding
the driving OF cross-cuts: "The more
cross-cutting that is done the more ore
bodies are developed. Take nothing for
granted; the walls OF crevices may be

A RECENT RULING ON ASSESSMENT
WORK EXPLAINED

1t seems that more recent explanations
OF the ruling OF the general land office in
regard to the amount Of expenditure on
group of lode claims in order to patent
them, tends to modify former opinions
on the subject, says the Rocky Noun
tain News. The original ruling was that
where shaft cost $500 was sunk on
group of five claims it did not suffice,
but that in such cases $500 worth OF
work must be done on each claim. IL
this were TO be the established ruling
mining men generally recognized its
folly.
But it seems that in the case where
the ruling was made the applicant sought
to apply the work done on ground for
which United States patent had been is.
sued in 1873 as the $500 improvements
on lode claim of recent date and for
which separate application and entry
had Just been made. There was n time
when the land Office accepted such i'm.
proyements upon patented ground for
later locations as a sufficient compliance
with the requirements that $500 worth
OF labor or improvements must be ex-
pended to enable the owner to obtain
United States patents, but this practice
only is affected by the new ruling. 1t is
stated by Register Blanchard, of Salt
Lake City, that where the work is done
and improvements made upon one claim
OF group, the claims OF the group con.
solidated, and the whole group embraced
in one entry and application for patent
there is no change in the practice. and
this work and improvements will hold
the whole toup. This later explana.
tion will prove very satisfactory as the
absurdity OF the supposed ruling was
palpable.
