MORE CAPITAL
FOR FLORENCE
Rocky Mountain Company
Will Give Lease.
Colorado Springs and Eastern In
vestors Will Have Control cf
the Property-Wells Closing
Down Pending the Deal.

The Tribune has it on what appears
to be good authority that negotiations
are pending for lease under bond
of the Rocky Mountain Oil company's $
property by Colorado Springs and
eastern capitalists. Those who take
hold of the property are well ac-
quainted with the oil business, having
had large experience in many fields,
and they believe that the properties
of the Florence field are better than
those in localities where develop
ments are of more recent date and of
undetermined values.
The Rocky Mountain Oil company
owns several wells which have been
producing for some time. Pending
the arrangements effecting the present
deal these wells have been closed
down but they will be started up
again shortly and most active cam
paign started, not only to pump from
the wells already in oil, but to bore
for others.
For some years past the Rocky Noun
tain company has been hampered by
various litigations and by lack of
capital, and the taking hold of the
property by men of unlimited capital
will mean much for the Florence fields.

THEATRICAL.
"Nathan Hale"

The season at the Lyceum opened last
night with the presentation of Nathan
Hale by Il company headed by Howard
Kyle, who was seen here last year in the
same play. Nathan Hale is clyde
Fitch drama which is only another way
of saying it is unusual and violates dra-
matte canons and the facts of history
with impunity. But is dramatic and
grows in interest until that interest be-
comes absorbing.
Mr.. Kyle made graceful Nathan
Hale, re presented the young patriot
spy in way that won sympathy for the
character and the earnest admiration for
the actor The Alice Adams of Miss
Florence Smith was beautifully done. She
has the gift OF beauty and the higher
gift of real dramatic ability. The vari~
GUS shades and depths of the nature of
Alice Adams We're presented with rare
faithfulness. The members of the sup
porting company were not equal to the
task of properly sustaining the principals.
