arHH SHOW GIRL, ],

Edward E. Rice's production of '"Ihe Show GirT' will follow the lecture at polf's this evening, and will again, no doubt, win favor as the best musical comedy of the season. The piece was originally a Boston Cadet production, by R. A. Barnett, the author Of "1492." When MT Rice professional ly staged ''The Show Girl" the piece enjoyed three months run at WaIlack's theater, New York city, and successful supplement tary season at Manhattan Beach. 1t WAS so successful that the management felt warranted in ordering an entirely new get of scenery and costumes, so that 1t will be practically new pro- duction which comes to Polls.

 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Considerable attention is being at tracted to the Jacques by the remark ably fine shows that Manager Poli has been giving there of late, and it is quite extraordinary that. following a arecord-breaking week like last week, such very fine show should be offered this week. "The Imposter'' as pre- scented by May Duryea and John L.. Kearney, which is the principal act, is a very attractive comedy skit, keeping the audience in a continuous roar of merriment. Of the greatest interest, however, and worthy of being head lined, is the vitagraph illustrations of the New York firemen's life. One can easily imagine in watching the vividIy realistic pictures shown, that the ac- tual thing Is being witnessed: indeed. the pictures give one more compre- hensive idea of the fireman's life than many persons get from seeing the ire companies in actual life. The great Nevarros in their sensational acroba novelty, and Irene Franklin in her im- itations and comedy interludes, share honors with tn eprincipaI entertainers. Exceptionally good too, are MT and Mrs Ellsworth Sailor and Barbaretta. George B. Alexander and Olive Kerr. and Tom Almond Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

dition, there are many spec mems Of Japan
ese prints which illustrate transportation,
tea raising and other occupations, which
are OF special value for the illustration of
courses in Teachers College and the Horace
Mann School.

Copper Company in Receivers Hands
Bad News for Asbury Park.


AsBURY PARK, N. j., Dec. s-Another
Asbury Park speculative bubble burst
this afternoon. Announcement was made
that the Frazer Mountain Copper Com
pany had gone into the hands Of receiver,
appointed by a New Mexico Judge. This
is the concern which was exploited last

the defunct Monmouth Trust Company,
the failure OF which precipitated the disas-
trous bank troubles in Asbury Park.
The bill OF complaint was filed by John
E. Lanning, receiver Of the Monmouth
Trust Company 1t is alleged in this paper
that the company owes 100000 and has
only 81 in the treasury. II is also charged
that Twining. to whom the Frazer Noun
no legal property rights have been ac-
quired by the company. The deed Is in
the hands Of Santa Fe Bank awaiting
payment Of $40 900, which is due for original
purchase money The Court has enjoined
the bank from delivering the deed to
Twining.
The receivership is the result OF a visit
to the copper mines by Mr.. Lanning, who
found things topsy -turvy. Twining, who
is under several indictments. is on his
way to New Mexico, where he has had
charge Of the mine. He has no knowledge
of the receivership,

DURANGOS IRON HILL.
Where They Make Stoves and Nails Beside
the Orc That Supplies the Iron.

One Of the greatest natural curiosities
in Mexico is big hill consisting Of solid
mass of iron ore 1t stands beside the
railroad track, near the station, in the city
of Durango, in the central part of the
republic.
Nothing just like it is known elsewhere
except in North Sweden, where there
is another hill Of iron ore. which the miners
are beginning to tear down to feed the
smelters that have just been built around
it.
The Durango hill is simply tremendous
lump Of iron ore about a mile in length,
nearly 1000 feet wide and rising above the
rock strewn plain around it from 400 to $50
feet.
When Humboldt visited Mexico in 1903
he did not See the hill, but samples Of the
iron mass we're shown to him, and from
them he deduced the erroneous conclusion
that the pieces came from colossal aerolite,
the largest on record.
Biologists say that some time or other
big opening was made in the earth g
crust and that this enormous mass Of ore
was thrust up through the rift and piled
is to say the iron hill is one Of the dil,es that
are supposed to be the result Of earthquake
action. Cracks or assures have opened
from the surface deep into the earth and
through these assures molten matter has
been forced to the outer air, where it has
hardened into rock.
So the Durango hill was formed by the
same process that made the Palisades
along the Hudson. The ore is hematite
and one of the richest iron ores in the world.
The best ores in England contain 81 per cent.
iron Lake Superior ores contain from so
to IS per cent. iron, and the Durango hil is
from 90 to 81 per cent. pure iron. more than
three-ffths Of this mass, which Is calculated
to weigh over 600 900 900 tons. being iron
Of the best steel making quality.
This is only the part OF the mass that ap-
pears above the surface. No one knows
how deep It may penetrate into the earth.
1t will require very long time to level
the Durango hill with the surrounding sur
face, but that fate will overtake 1t some day.
An American company Is now picking away
at it, and the plant it is building Is such as is
seldom seen in any part Of the world.
They are not only smelling the ore, but
have also erected shops and factories, in
which they are making stoves, nails, bar
iron and even steam engines and hoisting
machines. They say that they are going to
erect a steel plant, and perhaps some day
they will be turning out scissors and knives:
1t is rare indeed, that the finest iron. and
steel products are turned out within
stones throw of the place where the raw
iron ore is obtained.
