A GOOD
ATTRACTION
STORY OF NEXT WEEKS
PLAY
"A Stranger in New YORK. to
Hold the Boards

The story of Hoyt's "A Stranger in
New York" is most ludicrous, telling,
as it does, how Cunning Swift has in
vited his Chicago friend, l. Collier
Down, to visit him in New York and
spend a night at the French ball. He
is suddenly called to Philadelphia on
Downe to present to his New York
club friend, Wright limit Downe
drops the letter on the floor, and a
stranger in New York finds it and
decides that he should deliver it to
the man to whom it was addressed.
He does SO, and Wright limit recog-
nizes him as l. Collier Downe, and in
PRODUCES him to his friends. There
arises the complication, for Wright
limit refuses to allow the stranger
to explain. In the second act comes
The scene of a private room at the
rench ball. l. Collier Downe and
ii, friend, Cumming Swift, appear
and decide that it will not do to dis
close the mistake, but it is shown that
l Collier Downe's wife is suspicious
and has come to New York, employ
ing detective and fake society lead
er to trace her husband. Complica-
tiOns follow fast and Jun wakes furi-
Ously. |. Collier Downe tries to re-
spOnd every time his name is called,
but has no opportunity as the "Stran-
ger pushes him to the rear. A side
element of fun is furnished by the fact
that Mrs Virginia Pryde, a married
woman and belle of Richmond, de-
cides to go to the ball attended by her
friends brother. The outcome of the
various complications is that Mrs. l..
Collier Downe goes to the ball, finds
herself mistaken, because her husband
+, is locked in the elevator. and the man
bearing his name has 10 resemblance
to him. She tries a waltz with the
Stranger" and il caught in the act
by her husband, all ending happily
for everybody except Mrs. l. Collier
Downe and the woman spy. The only
performance will be at the Opera
house Monday. January 5th.

A NEVADA
INDUSTRY
PRIVATE CREAMERIES BEING
ESTABLISHED
A Ready Market For the Me-
vada Product

This section of Nevada seems to
be giving a great deal of attention
to dairying and butter making of late
years. There is hardly valley that
does not possess creamery, and in
many instances the farmers own their
own seperators, and in fact, conduct
a creamery.
The first real demonstration of the
success Of the creamery was in Carson
valley. The farmers took hold and
raised a badly managed affair into a
paying institution, and today the Dou-
glas county creamery leads as they
ship direct to California and half Of
the demand is not supplied. There
is no trouble hunting custom, as the
stamp, Douglas butter" sells it at
the highest rate in the market.
When it was found that a creamery
would pay, number of individual
farmers concluded to try the plan.
Mr.. Yori adopted the system and has
made a success of it. He was fol-
lowed by a number of others in the
same section, and in every instance,
the farmer who has turned his attne-
ton to scientific butter making, has
made a success

Smith Valley, started creamery on

MYSTERY
CLEARED
DEAD MANS BONES LIFT
SURPlClON
Strange Disappearance OF Abner
Lee Solved

After thirty-seven years of mystery
the strange disappearance of Abner
Lee, the notorious old prospector who
discovered the famous Lee silver mine
seventy miles northeast of San Ber-
nardino, Cal, has at last been solved.
Lee was the most famous prospector
of his time. In 1865 he located those
claims known as the Lee mines, which
subsequently, brought a fortune of ST.
900, 900 to Governor R. w. Waterman
of California Soon after discovering
these rich silver properties he disap-
peared into the desert and was never
seen again A great deal of excite
ment was occasioned by Lees withd
drawal from the world, and it was sug
gested more than once that he had
been foully done away with by I'M
scrupulous persons who wished to gain
possession of his property. Others
thought the Piute Indians, who then
raided the desert, had killed him and
turned the remains.
Now the riddle has been solved and
the skeleton of old Abner Lee, the
bones of his. burros, his "washpan"
and an old mining pick bearing his
name on the handle, have been found
in the Devils Playground by Jim"
Moran, desert freighter plying be-
tween Fenner, on the Sante Fee road,
and Resting Spring branch, at the
head of Death Valley The shifting
sands which covered Lee have given
back their dead. the miners are clear
ed of ObloQuy and the bones of the
prospector have been given decent bu-
rial on the crystalline shores of Soda
lake.
According to Lees story at the time
time (and this was subsequently veri-
fed, there were vast lodges of sur
face ore in sight of precisely the same
quality as the ore which, from time
to time, he brought in on his burros.
, He was very secretive about the loca-
| ton of his mine, and those whom he
! took into his confidence were under
strict pledge to reveal nothing.
] Among these was R. w. Waterman
who afterwards became Governor of
California. MIR. Waterman was at that
time struggling lawyer. For ten
years after Lees disappearance moth
ing was heard of the properties. Then
a big expedition was organized in San
Bernardino to search for the abandon
ed claims. Under the guidance of two
prospectOrs. who claimed to know
something of the locality, and who had
heard where lay the Lee silver, the
party went almost Immediately to the
mines.
But upon their arrival they foun(

New York. January 13.-Signor Marconi
the inventor of wireless telegraphy, was
the guest of honor this evening at the
annual dinner of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers held at the Wal
dorf- Astoria.
Thomas A. Edison wrote that he would
be glad to be present as he would like
to meet the young man who had the
monumental audacity to attempt and sue
ceed in jumping an electrical wave clear
across the Atlantic ocean" but was un-
able to accept the invitation.
Signor Marconi, in his address, referred
to the prevailing opinion that when
message Is sent into space any one can
intercept that message and read it. He
said:
Messages can only be read when the
receiver and transmitter are attuned
This attuned system as perfected is not
at present in use on ships 1t has been
deemed necessary that each ship should
be equipped with apparatus which will
permit the reading of a message sent
from any other ship, because Of the pos
sibility of aid being required In case Of
danger. Therefore all ships are attuned
so that one ship can call up any other
ship"
Signor Marconi declared that shortly it
would be possible to send many messages
over the sea at the same time.

Congressman Hill Makes Report or
Coinage, Weight and Measures.

washington. January 13.-Representa-
Ave Hill of Connecticut today presented
he majority report from the House COM
n favor of the bill providing for the ex-
hangeability of gold and silver coins.
The report says that the enormous in

ary to consider the effects of the pro-
visions of the bill making a gradual
change in the status Of silver dollars and
silver certificates by virtue Instead of
being a full legal tender, silver will be-

The increased gold production in the
United States and the reopening of the
South African mines 1t will increase still
more in the next five years.
The report in conclusion sums I'D the
reasons why the bill. whose chief pro-
visions have been made public heretofore.
should be adopted as follows: First, be-
rause II will stop the further coinage of
the legal tender silver dollar. Second,
because 1t will increase the volume of
subsidiary coin, which is greatly needed
Third because it will In time reduce the
volume of legal tender silver without loss
