The pictorial displays about town
concerning AT the White Horse Tav-
ern." which appears at the Opera
House, Wednesday evening, have at-
tracted much attention. There is shown
facsimile of the glimpse OF charac-
ter and scenes in the Austrian Alps,
which are woven together in this
drama. People who have sat through
the show aver that 1t Is one OF the
most delightful plays that the German
source has furnished the American
stnge. Patrons OF this house Will doubt
less appreciate the promise TINT. in ad-
dition to being a delicious production
throughout, 1t is as clean as the pro-
verbal whistle, as bright as the sum
shine that covers the mountain tops,
and as Joyous as the air that ruffies the
placid lake that runs almost to the
iooryard OF the famous hosiery. A
realistic Alpine rainstorm is one Of the
incidental details OF the production,
which win be given here with the same
artists. scenery and stage effects en-
ployed In New York and Chicago.

The public Is hereby notified that the
directors Of this company, at meeting
held March s, 1900, unanimously re-
solved that hfter March II, 1900 the
books Of the company be closed for the
sale of stock Mt fifty cents per share
Of the par value OF 81 each.
Parties desiring stock at the price OF
fifty cents per share are advised to call
upon the secretary on or before said
date.
The superintendent recent reports
state that in one mine a;one at a depth
Of forty-five feet, we are getting copper
orc Of the average value OF SIS per ton,
and assays from this mine made in Ari-
IONA, Pittsburgh and Wheeling, run aH
high as S4s per ton in copper alone. $40
TO Sli per ton pays total cost OF mining
and hauling to the smelter.
The present width of the vein Is five
and n half feet. 1t IL estimated by eX.
pert miners that this mine Will reach n
depth of 400 feet before the copper ore
therein Is exhausted, and that Its width
rs well as the percentage OF copper, will
gradually increase. We are also ad-
yised on good authority that our
claims in Graham county, Arizona, are
the best in the Lone Star mining dis
trict,
Stock Is held exclusively by parties
residing In Wheeling and vicinity. We
believe In a very short time, 1t win be
worth at least It's par value.

Ana Telephone Company Elects Di-
rectors and officers Offers a Bonus
Tor the Franchise from Council
said an officer of the Home cOnstrue-
tlon & Telephone Company last night:
@Ths Home Construction and Tele-
phone Company of West Virginia held
their stockholders' meeting last even
ing for organization and election Of of
hcers. Mr.. George Hook was elected
president, and w. F. shafter secretary
and treasurer. Messrs. George Hook.
w. A. Wilson, 81. s.. Sands, Alfred
PAUL and w. F. shaner constitute the
board Of directors. It is supposed that
the franchises Will come up at to-
nights meeting Of the city council.
..Rumors have been flying thick and
fast for several days that this or that
COMPANY was dead sure winners, and
again that the Bell had. them all beaten.
SIN the interest Of the public, taking
into consideration the prices charged
our people over that charged in other
cities. we take It for granted that the
CITY council, looking solely to the In
terests OF the city would grant fran
chise tc. one OF the independent COM
panies applying. So far the only com-
pany that seems to really mean busl-
ness and show their faith In the enter
prise is the Home Construction and
Telephone Company, who have made
substantial cash offer to the city for
the privilege Of constructing telephone
lines In opposition to the Bell. The
nRa mt OHIV WILL
inc 10 nav a substantial bonus, but are
willing TO give O bond that they will
build n plant and operate 1t, and this
refutes the rumors that have been cir
culated that they were operating In the
interests of the Bell Telephone Com
pany,
"The r,cn who are interested In the
enterprise are not Of the character that
would lend themselves to such an
agreement. but they have studied over
the situation carefully and believe that
/. Is a legitimate enterprise and with
proper management paying invest
mcnte.''

Independent Telephones.

From the Bellaire (o) Independent.
Tuesday night, Martins Ferry coun-
ell was in an accommodating humor
and under suspension Of the rules rush
ed through ordinances giving franchises
to the Belmont and Bell telephone COM
panies. The only consideration for
three franchises was a lot of free tele-
phones for city use. The utter reck-
lessness OF councils In giving away
such rights IS surprising. Streets are
encountered and made unsightly by the
poles and wires and the public pay for
what they get in the way Of convent
ence Just as II the companies had paid
u fair sum for their privileges. These
franchises are in most cases sources Of
large profit to the stockholders. The
local company In this place after secur-
ing subscriptions on promises which 1t
has never made even an effort to fulfill,
constructed its system and as soon as It
was in operation, Issued a stock dlvt-
dend Of 100 per cent, which, II It repre-
scented anything other than water, must
have been based on the value of the
franchise which the city had given the
company. Dividends Of per cent per
annum have been paid on the stock
annually and It Is said the promoters
have, most OF them, sold their stock at
or near its par value. thus pocketing
about 100 per cent profit beside what
ever dividends they received prior to
their sales Of stock. The people were
told the company would extend Its lines
to all the surrounding towns and the
world in general. but 1t has only eX-
tended to ShadyBide and Klee and
shows no sign Of any other extensions.
The people expected service which
would enable them to get along with
out the Bell and dropped that COM
pany, thinking they would save mo-
ney by so doing. But In time they had
to return to the Bell and are. many Of
them, now paying for two telephones
and paying out more money than they
did for the Bell before It reduced Its
prices. This is a fair illustration Of
what the people get for franchises
which their councils rush through un-
der suspension Of the rules. The peo-
pie get a lot OF promises and some tri-
fes. The corporations get something
which they can turn, and usually do
turn. into cash with great profit to
themselves.

"a Black sheep.n

Judging by the enormously brisk de-
1nand for seats for the presentation in
this city Of Hoyt's "a Black Sheep" at
the Opera House, next Saturday, NATL
nee and night, March II, It would seem
as II the entire populace Intended to
turn out to welcome this clever play
wrights successful comedy. IA Black
Sheep" may be fairly called an epitome
of Mr.. Hoyt's most pungent wltticisms,
and for ingenious drollerles, surprising
and absurdly funny situations II can
not be exoelled by any OF his other pro-
auctions. This exhllarating piece, in ad-
ditlon to It's intrinslc humor. Is said TO
be full q the brightest things in songs,
choruseG, dances and speclalties. and is
played by the best and strongest COM
edlans Mr.. Hoyt has ever presented.
The piece will be presented here under
the personal direction Of Fred E.
Wright, who has been Mr.. Hoyt's busl-
ness manager for more than ten years,
and who last season gave local theatre
goerS such a complete and thorough
production Of 70 Contented Woman"
