There is said to be n pronounced
educational value in Effie Ellsler's
production of When Knighthood Was
in Flower" wholly outside the
dramas merit as a play. me cos
tunes reflect the fashions of time
when the house of Tudor and the En-
glish court had reached Il stage of
amazing splendor. 1hey were made
after designs obtained from rare
plates in the British museum and
other treasure houses of British his
tory. The scenery was painted af-
ter sketches prepared at Windsor
park, Greenwich place and Hampton
court. These sketches were then
modified in such n manner as to make
the scene reflect as accurately as in
vestigation into books would make
possible, the appearance of the To-
calities during the opening years of
the Sixteenth century. Much of the
furniture was designed from models
now on view in Hampton court, that
vast palace which Thomas Wolsey,
who figures in "Knighthood," built
and presented to Henry Will, broth
er of the Princess Mary Tudor whom
Miss Ellsler portrays.

the theatrical field, is making quite n

If it is possible to judge what the

seem most probable that Peggy
From Paris" George AIDES latest
work for the stage, which Henry W.
Savage is to produce in the near fu-
ture, will be one of the big successes
of the season. The plot is a novel
one, taking the auditor from Hickory
Creek, Ind, to Paris and return by
New York city. The trouble all comes
from the fact that the heroine, Peg
gy, who goes abroad in somewhat
humble capacity, returns as full
fiedged French prima donna, and she
finds that there can be too many rela-
tiyes when one is at the head OF Il
well equipped comic opera company.

sayings and with much more of the
favor of the popular vernacular of the

The cost of producing pound
of copper is popularly supposed
to be about six cents, says The
Denver Mining Rxport<r, and con-
tinuing it says that this is ah erro-
neous supposition, as the average
cost is much higher; probably so
per Cent. There may Be mines
and srnelters producing copper for
that figure, although if there are
such we do not know Of any. The
alleged case of the United Verde
is very much open to question.
The fuel expense at that mine is
tremendous. Instead of the cost
being six cents we would regard
eight cents as being far more cor
rect. From official sources we
learn that the Calumet and Hecla
mine produces copper for IoH
cents per pound; the Quincy, in
the same district as the Calumet
and Hecla, produces copper at
about r3K cents a pound, and the
Anaconda mine, at Butte, at about
8B cents per pound. The other
mines in the Butte district produce
copper from eight to nine cents
per pound. Instead of the aver
age cost Of producing copper be-
ing only six cents we would be
more inclined to put the average
price from nine to nine and one
half cents. t

ers on the outside of this valley
will fall dead when they read the
news that the Nordyke Flour Mill
! of this valley is shipping in wheat
from California to make enough
-four for home consumption. The
newsis startling from the fact that
it is we'll known throughout the
West that Mason Valley is one Of
the largest and finest grain pro-
ducing sections in the State, and
could be made one of the finest on
the coast. notwithstanding this
the Wilson mill here, which is a
new and finely appointed one,
ground up all the Wheat raised in
this valley last year in run OF
one month. There is something
radically wrong about situation
of this kind. 1t is claimed BY the
farmers of the valley that it does
not pay to raise wheat, but it
seems to us that if a miller can
pay S3a per ton for California
wheat laid down at Wabuska,
haul it twenty miles to a mill,
grind into -four and sell the pro-
duct at the market price of -four,
with the freight added, that some
arrangement could be made by
which the producer, the miller,
and all hands could do business on
scale which would be profitable
to all concerned.
This is not only the case with
wheat, but last year, when cOhsid-
cradle teaming was being done
here, barley had to be imported
from California at fancy figure
to feed stock. The two instances
show bad mining" in an agricul-
turai section which has the re-
sources possessed by this valley.
Here is great stretch of fertile.
land, the most of which is. or can
be, we'll watered. which will pro-
duce to the acre a better quality
and a greater quantity of anything
that grows in the soil than any
other State in the Union, and not
enough grain is raised to supply
the home consumption. '''
Eggs are even frequently inn
ported from Utah.
Nine-tenths of the ham and ba-
con consumed here is imported
from the East, Notwithstanding
the finest pork in the world can
be raised here. h' "
| Every pound of cheese con-
sumed in the valley is imported,
while there is no reason, except
lack of enterprise, why this valley
should not be exporting tons of
the finest cheese ever manufac-
tured, annually.
Onions always bring a good
price, and probably twenty tons
are not raised in the whole valley
in a season. '1t VI. .'t go. H.
1t has been said there is no
market for these things. There
is always market for frst-class
articles of all kinds, and at fair
prices, too. The Yerington Cream..
cry is shipping an average of 800
pounds of choice butter per day
to San Francisco, and is making
money. There should be half-a-
dozen large creameries in the val
ley instead of one. y@
Tonopah, the new mining camp
to the south of us, will be hummer
before this year is out, and for
some years to come. She will
consume a vast amount of farm
produce, -four, barley, hay, po-
tatoes, onions, cabbage, beef, eggs,
fruit, honey, butter, poultry, etc,
all of which can be produced here,
and the market is yours for the
asking if you will produce the
goods.
