Three Little Lambs.

Three Little Lambs" a musical
comedy in two acts, the hbretto by r.
A. Barnet, famous as the author of
1872 and Jack and the Beanstalk," "
which comes direct from an engage
ment of fifty nights at the Fifth Ave-
rue Theatre, New York, and will be
presented here at the Opera House on
Thursday evening, April 5th, is writ
ten in more ambitious vein than the
popular author has heretofore attempt
ed, and might constitute the book of
the most romantic operas, but as de-
veloped only the humorous phrase
present. Mirth, therefore, rather than
sentiment is excited by the recital Of
the adventures of a devoted young
man. who at the behest of his sweet
heart forfeits a fortune, enters the
navy and goes to Puerto Rico to fight
for his country. Odd humor mani
tests itself throughout the piece in all
sorts of unexpected places. and the fads
of the day are gently but none the
less cleyerly satirized.

Twenty Drill Compressor and Large
Hoist Going In.
Burke, Idaho, August 9.-The Hecla
mine, near here, on Canyon creek, In
the Occur d'Alenes. which recently paid
its first dividend of $4,000, has under
way extensive improvements. The
company is putting in a plant for its
eventual operation at $500 feet depth.
This plant would include two 4O0-horse
power boilers compressor plant with
a capacity of 20 drills and hoist that
could operate the mine to the 25O0-foot
level The installation of these i'm
provements has been under way for
some time. The large buildings for
the reception of the plant are practical
~ completed the boilers and compressor
are on the ground and the work Of put.
ting them in place is going on rapidly.
1t is expected that the entire new
plant will be in operation by Septem-
bel /. In the meantime the work OF
developing the mine is going forward
rapidly and about 1000 tons of concen-
trates month are being shipped. The
main shaft in which the big hoist will
be operated is to he sunk to the full
$500 feet, though operations will not
be confined to this work. The ore bod
les will be opened and mined at the
successive levels as depth is attained.

PLANS FOR GOLDEN ZONE.

Capacity Will Soon he 100 Tons Of Ore
Daily.
LOOMS, WASH, August at the
Golden Zone plans have been COM
pleted for increasing the capacity OF
the mill to 100 tons daily. The neces-
sary machinery has been ordered and
the work OF adding to the present mill
structure for its accommodation begins
at once. The Golden Zone is so
thoroughly opened up that it will be
able to supply the daily mill run with
minimum force. Continuous devel-
opment of the ore bodies will 60 stead
lily forward though there is more than
100, 900 tons of ore in sight.
The management proposes to increase
the capacity of the mill from its profits
until it can treat 500 tons daily. That
mine of this character could in three
years be brought to such high stage
of development, show quantities of ore
and be scarcely known outside of the
district tells the story of the quality of
work being done at dozen properties
in the Palmer Mountain district. Mill
runs up to date have averaged about
$40 per ton, and this is probably a
good average of the mine.
