REPUBLIC.

The machinery for the Chico mine
has arrived.
WORK on the Blackbird group will
resume in March.
Work has been temporarily suspend
ed on the Mud Lake.
The liveliest spot in the district at
this time is the Republic Reduction
Company grounds.
The compressor plant on the Prin-
cess Maud is running in fine shape, and
is a model of it's kind.
The mill of the Republic Reduction
Company is now under roof and nearly
ready for the machinery.
The face of the lower crosscut in the
Quilp is showing up fine ore, and the
values are said to be about the same
as heretofore reported.
J. L. Harper was in from Belcher
camp and reported everything running
satisfactorily in that promising divis-
ion of the Eureka district.
At the San Poll, Blacktail and Ben
Hur work is progressing as usual, and
there is no material change to report
in regard to the width or values of the
ore bodies.
The Butte & Boston's new vertical
shaft has touched bedrock and from
this time on will go down in solid
country rock until it strikes the Butte
& Boston vein.
The Hercules shaft is 40 feet in
depth. The ledge is wider than the
shaft. Some remarkably fine looking
ore is coming out, and it is said to be
of good grade.
superintendent Mckenzie states that
good progress is being made on the
Gopher shaft. The machinery is work
ing perfectly and the ground is stead
lily growing firmer.
Everything is going on finely at the
Tom Thumb. The ore is as rich as ever
and the ledge is holding to about nine
feet in width. The new shaft is being
put down rapidly.
superintendent George L. Hedges of
the Clackamas group in Wauconda dis.
trtct, II miles west of Republic, state
that the ledge had been penetrated by
the tunnel for 10 feet.
The Monarch Group Gold Mining
Company, operating in Summit camp,
has a promising property on a contact
vein on the western edge of the Sum
nit belt. On one of their claims, the
Nonpareil, are several openings.
The Wauconda tunnel is in "a feet.
The crosscut that has been driven TO-
ward the footwall for some weeks has
at last reached the wall. The distance
from the tunnel TO the wall was 25 feet.
AS the tunnel is five feet in width, the
ledge SO far exposed is so feet in width.
The outlook for the Bodie camp is
improving as development work is car
ried along. The average values OBJ
tanned from the several veins of the
camp are low, but many samples have
been taken of such high values as to
credit the belief that there are rich pay
shoots to be discovered. The quartz is
generally of lively appearance and
the lodges are strong and we'll defined.

Miss Viola Allen will appear at the Ma
tional tomorrow evening in Lorimer stod-
dard's dramatization of F. Marion Craw-
ford's novel, I'm the Palace of the King"
While this viii be the formal opening Of
Miss Aliens season, the play had its initial
presentation at North Adams, Mass, last
Monday evening, and such metropolitan
critics as were present pronounced it an
unqualified hit This will be Miss Aliens
third visit to Washington since becoming
star" and If the advance sale may be
taken as an augury it will be her most
successful week.
Only few details have SO far come to
hand regarding Miss Aliens new play. A
portion of the novel only has so far been
published, but enough has already ap-
peared upon which to base fair hypothe-
sis of what the play will be like. Mr.
Crawford's story deals with an incident
in the life Of Don John of Austria, brother
of Philip II Of Spain. There is no charac-
ter IN history that has appealed SO strong
~ to the historian as this young paladin
of romance the illustrious Don John, the
cOnqueror Of the Moors Of Granada and the
hero Of Lepanto the mighty sea fight be-
tween the Turks on one side and the Chris
tian world on the other.

Dona Dolores de Mendoza was the sweet
heart Of Don John. Her father was a cap
tain under the Government of Philip, and
with his family resided in the palace of
the King. The proud old don objected
10 Don Johns attentions TO his daughter
for two reasons. the chief of which was
that the King had his mind made up to
marry his brother TO some great royal
princess. and the other was that the old
captain feared that should his daughter
marry the brother of Philip he would find
some convenient way TO annul the mar
riage. But Philip was Jealous OF his
brother. so great was his popularity with
all classes OF citizens. He saw in the re-
bellion Of the Moors OF Granada an easy
and 10 all appearances an honorable means
Of getting rid of Don John. Don John one
OF the greatest leaders OF men known in
history, was sent into Granada with an
inadequate force, it being the hope of the
King that the fierce Moriscoes would sure
ly aDnshilate him. In this expectation he
was to meet with disappointment, since,
as the world knows. Don John conquered
the unhappy Moors.
The play Is in six scenes. instead of acts,

formances with an attention TO detail and
a regard for his audiences which the pub
lie is quick to appreciate and applaud.
During the present season he will carry a
carload of special scenery, costumes,
stage settings, and properties which
should enable him to produce each play
in a pictorially adequate manner. The
company is said to number twenty five.

upon it's fourth week at Hashim's Academy
of Music tomorrow afternoon with what
is claimed by the management to be the
strongest list of fayorites that has yet
been offered at this house. There are said
to be so many names on the bill with
which the patrons of vaudeville are ia
miliar that Manager Hashim anticipates
that the coming week will be by far the
most prosperous he has yet enjoyed.
Promising as have been the programmes
during the first three weeks, that for the
ensuing six days is one of the best aggre-
cations of vaudevillians ever assembled
on a local stage.
The bill will be headed by the sketches
of Dolan and Lenharr, entitled "A High
toned Burglar" and Francesca Redding
and company, styled Her Friend from
Texas" The former. which has been seen
here, is by many persons regarded as one
of the very best acts of its kind in vaude-
vile. 1t is replete with novel ideas and
situations, and rarely fails to eonvulse
the most persistent theatregoer. Fran
cesca Readings sketch, Her Friend from
Texas" has previously beer seen in this
city, and scored a most pronounced hit.
James Thornton is claimed to be
monologue comedian who has reputation
that is country wide. Everywhere he is
known for his versatility, and he is always
sure to have a new lot of clever With
cisms. Genaro and Bailey are heralded
as the very poetry of motion. They orig
mated the present fad of grotesque cake
walking, and are among the highest sala-
ried dancing teams on the stage. Bonnie
Thornton is in many cities a great fav-
orite with the ladies', as well as the gen.
tIemen, and her songs and the funny little
stories she tells are rich with a humor
all her own. Edna Leigh and Sylvia

The opening attraction, of the season at
the Columbia Theatre will be Creston

let" Mr.. Clarke's conception and embodi-
ment of the melancholy Dane has brought
him more fame than any other role he has
enacted, and his repertoire of Shakes

He is known among his intimates as an n
defatigable worker. and in the ni-G.oer

the theory that they may come again.

There was a general picking up in the

no doubt to tie seasonable atmospheric
conditions that prevailed. The attendance
at the National with that giddy young
person, Nam selle 'Awkins," as the mag
net was OF such proportions as to give
the impression that the season was at its
height instead of but two weeks old. The
Academy of Music, with a dozen or so
entertainers, came very near selling all
of its seats on several occasions, while
at Chase's Grand the assemblages almost
completely exhausted the seating capacity.

formal opening in her new play, In the
Palace of the King at the National to-
morrow night. The piece was produced
in several New England cities last week,
and, from all accounts at hand, scored a

The Columbia will ring up its curtain
tomorrow evening for the first time this
season, and Creston Clarke will present
repertoire during the week that should be
attractive to people who admire the legit-
innate drama. Chase's New Grand will
have Lockhart's performing elephants as
