SCORED A SUCCESS.

Anaconda's play house, the Margaret
theater, was never graced with a more
appreciative audience h a on last even
ing, the attraction being Nine. Emma
Nevada, assisted by Mr.. Sheldon Pratt
as pianist and Mr.. Louis Blumerberg.
With the winter blasts raging without
and the thermometer lower than 20 below
zero the house was as comfortable as a
May evening causing good humor to the
patrons and delight to the celebrated arr
lists who CAV to the people of Anacon-
da the best musical treat they ave ever
enjoyed. Nine. Nevada's sweet voice
and distinctive notes caused a profound
joy to the accomplished musicians who
were present and was also appreciated
by the uncultured who admire sweet
music. She never appeared but to be
recalled and sometimes repeatedly n
always responded with happy smiles.
The cello solos of Mr.. Blumenberg were
no less appreciated and recalls as numer-
Gus which was also true of Mr.. Pratts
plano solos which were a revelation to
the musical people OF the Copper City.
In a word the entertainment was one
of purity in the theatrical line which the
local manager Mr.. T. H.. Collins should
have due credit for bringing to Ana

Has Been Intensely Cold Here
For Some Time.
THERMOMETER GOES DOWN
At Daylight This Morning it Was Down
to 80 Degrees BelOw--Seems
to Be MOderating.

Full f1edged winter with all its TRIM
mings has arrived at last, and with 1t the
consumption of fuel is now in progress.
1t has caused a change of traffic from
wheels to runners and the Jingle of sleigh
bells are once more heard m every hand.
Cold weather has prevailed for thirty-six
hours, but the lowest temperature reach
ed was only 20 degrees below zero at 6
o'clock yesterday morning. 1t noon it
was 10 below with little promise of much
moderation. "-f 5r
Indications point to a still lower tenn
perature. Frozen water and steam pipes
have caused no end of annoyance all over
town. This has caused a harvest for the
plumbers who are Overtaxed in their en-
deavors to execute all of their orders for
repair work. Another busy aggregation
is the local fuel dealer n wood haulers
from the country. Any kind of fuel can
be sold during the cold spell, because a
great many were running low
when the cold wave came, n to I'LL all
the orders now as fast as they come in
rs a puzzler to the dealers, still they have
not advanced the prices, and probably
Will not.
The attendance at the schools on ac-
count OF the cold was lessened but little.
because the snow is not deep and the
walking is good on the streets. Heavy
FEEDING OF hay and grain to the stock is
SAID to have commenced and will con-
tlnue as long as the cold lasts.
Last night was the coolest period of
the season, the thermometer ranging
from 20 to 80 degrees below zero between
. O'Clock last night and the same hour
this morning. The coolest hour was at
daylight this morning when it is said "a
have reached 30 below. Water and steam
pipes where the latter are exposed have
been frozen in all parts of the city ami
considerable annoyance experienced
therefrom. Through trains are arriving
somewhat tardy. The through Great
Northern train due here last night at
11:40 o'clock arrived this morning at 8
O'clock, being nearl nine hours late.
The trainmen report the thermometer
~ degrees below zero at Clancy. Owing
to the extreme cold and long pull up the
mountain the train is aid to have beer
stopped three times to allow the engine
to get up steam to pull train over tbs
mountain grades. AS yet there have
been no reports received of any suffer-
ing from cold in these parts. There are
but few poor people in Anaconda and
these it is understood have been provid-
ed for. The fuel dealers are kept busy
filling their orders. Plumbers are also
busy repairing frosted pipes. The weather
is now moderating but the thermometer
will not get above zero to-day. How
ever, the back of the cold spell !.
broken.

FIRE AT THE LAFAYETTE.

At 4:10 o'clock this morning the fire de-
partment was called to the Lafayette
house, situated at the corner OF East
Commercial avenue and Birch street to
uuench a fire which started in the base
ment. An overheated furnace set a wood
en- post or pillar on fire which stood a
short distance away n was burning
rapidly when discovered. A prompt alarm
and quick response on the part of the de-
partment prevented what m ght have
proved a serious fire. The blaze was ex-
t;nguished by the chemical apparatus
with but little damage.

IN FROM THE HILLS.

Martin Johnson, the w~ell-known
mountaineer from west of Anaconda, ar
rived in the city yesterday and is en-
joying the coal fires in the business
houses and at the homes Of his many
friends. When the weather gets as cold
as from 20 to 80 below zero Mr.. john
son thinks it a good winter season pro-
vided there is plenty of snow. Before
coming in he visited the copper camp
where the Senate group of mines is sit
uated. He says there is four feet OF
