GENIUS IS ECCENTRIC.
4As Is Proved by Some Recent Doings
of Actors.


of Actors.
The ancient wearers of the sock and
nuskjn had many draw backs to con-
tend against. The strollers who SOL
qamnly performed their parts on the
Insecure boards of a cart must have
felt at times that they were leaving
altogether too much to the imagina-
fian of the -mouthed auditors.
Yet we have no reason to believe that
they ever cut short tragedy because
al these unpleasant restrictions, nor
that they rudeIy drove away in the
nzldst Of mutilated comedy. It re-
n1ains for the later-day actor, with
his wealth of realistic surroundings,
TO flare up over trifies and bare his
s1niyering nerves before a presumably
sympathetic audience. Miss Julia
Arthur stops her performance and de-
szionnces the murmur of a chattering
soox party Actor Richard Mansfield
throws up his hands in disgust and
Fi1lgE down the curtain because of a
a9sputtering steam pipe. Perhaps he
felt at the moment very much as the
@~s-a@1@1 oNbof7 did WhCh 6iCdtly
noyed by the crying of ar infant child.
aseaking off abruptly, he advanced to
TIE footlights and gravely observed:
Unless the play stops, the child can

Bile to the audience He taeitly con
1essea his unwillingness to match the
ordinary vocal pipes against the va
Dozy sort, and rang down the curtain. I
Genius has always borne a reputation
Seir eeeentricity but only in later
years has it burst through the en-
VIronments of time, and place, and +
professional obligation, and domi-
mated Its chosen field The musical T
genius MARBLES or thrums at Viii; the
autor treads the boards at will. Per-
haps this independence of action will T
mark the other professions in time.
Genius has become, in a measure, a I
petty autoerat, and as long as there
arc seryile neeks for 1t to pirouette

further proofs of unpleasant eccen
sricity.

During the month 30,4S5 tons of ore
went through the big mill, or a little
less than LOCO tons a day and from
that amount of ore S1S2, 4464 6 was pro-
duced in refined gold bullion. the value
of the ore treated thus being shown to
be a trifie over 5.9S per ton The cost
or mining, including dead work and

of milling was $136, making the total
cost of mining and milling 81 81 per ton

FIRST PRIZE TO sAvAN1c ORE.
Awarded at Washington County Fair
Wednesday.

Among the most creditable and va
ried line of exhibits at the Washington
county fair, which closed at st. George
on Thursday. was the collection from
the copper ores Of the mines of south
ern Utah and northern Arizona, the
principal ones being from the Grand
Gulch, the Apex, or Dixie, and the Sa-
vanic, the latter being the rMojave
county (Ar1Zona) mine owned by
Messrs. H. L. Pickett and NJ. NJ. Mil
Ter of this city. Each of the properties
named had several hundreds of pounds
of fine ore on exhibition, and when the
awards were made on Wednesday the
Savanic pulled down the first prize
$50, and the Apex came in for the honor
of second place.
The silk exhibit is described as hav-
ing been a very fine one also and
showed what could be done in the way
of silk culture in a country so pecu-

UTAH CONSOLIDATED.
No Longer a Standard Oil Mine-Div-
idend Prospects.
CRoston News RureanN-

r (Boston News Bureau)
Utah Consolidated can no longer be
classed as a Standard Oil mine. It is
said that the so-called STANDARD Oil
people-Messrs. Lawson, Burrage and
ROgers-sold out all their stock when
the price went above $50. and there
after plans for the company'S develop
Tnent were pigeonhOled. The London
Boston and New York stockholders
combined their proxies and forced the
retirement of President Burrage.
1t IS declared that the company will
begin dividends next year on the basis
of IS per share per annum. with ex-
peCted quarterly payments of $1-25 per
share. The company is earning $50. 600
per month net from, the treatment of
about 220 tons of ore per day. and the
cost of its copper laid down is said to
be So cents per pound.
The new smelteT should be in opera
ton Jan. /. and the minimum capacity
of the property should then be $50 tons
of ore per day.
The company earned the past year
1862. 200 net from an average treatment
of 30 tons OF ore per day. 1t owes
1850. 900, which is fully offset by cash on
hand and copper s1n transit. Four
months earnings to Jan. 1 should give
the company $3.50 O90 additional and
enable it to make full distribution to
the shareholders of the net earnings
of 1901.

He thanked the donors very heartily
FOR the valuable gift and said he would
value il more on account of the kindly

he took a kindly interest in their well

would play out in a few years was
groundIess, and that he would do all
he could for the interest of those under

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
MRS. WISNER'S RECORD.
DIVORCED AND REMARKED IN
FIFTEEN MINUTES.
Lightning Change Artist in Matri-
monial Line-Married Her
Witness.

Mrs. Rosa Wisner was granted de-
cree of divorce in Judge Lindsay's court
about 4:3O O'Clock, Saturday afternoon,
and in less than fifteen minutes after
wards P. B. Wolverton. who appeared as
a witness for her, took out a license to
make her his wife. Between the time Of
the granting of the divorce decree and
the time she again sailed away on the
matrimonial sea, she was Rosa Hick-
man, as the marriage license was taken
out in that name. The license gave her
age as 80 years and that of Wolverton, 30
years. Both have been residing at
Whitehall. When giving her proofs in
the divorce court she said that John
Wisner and herself had been united in
marriage in Kansas about twenty years
ago. Her husband was the same age as
herself. Three children had blessed the
union. Whitehall had been their home
for quite while, her husband having
been employed as a blacksmith at the
Maytlower mine. In the evening of Feb
ruary 1899. she said, he started for
the mine to go to work. and that was
far as she knew, he had 10 reason for
deserting her.
Wolverton testified that she had been
supporting herself by keeping boarders
and borrowing money.
The names of Burt Marsh and G. e.
Summers appeared in the complaint as
attorneys but as the former is not en-
gagged in actual practice just now and
the latter has been out of town about
three months and does not intend to re-
turn, Evan o. Jackson conducted the
case. Judge Lindsey noticed the name
of Marsh and asked the applicant for
temporary single blessedness if she knew
he was not a practicing attorney in that
court Her answer was that she did
not know him; she had seen the name of
Marsh & Marsh in the papers and writ
ten them about her case. AS to Sum-
mers and Jackson, she knew not how
they had come into the case
AS soon as the decree was granted
