C. V. G. 6 Y. RAILROAD
Revival of Scheme For Its Extension
 to Pinto Creek

w. B. DevereauX of Glenwood Springs, Colo, arrived in Globe last Friday night in Superintendent Sroufe's private car, says the Globe Silver Belt. and remained until Tues day morning, his time while here being occupied laryScly in an examination of the Black Warrior property, and a visit tO other mines in that. vicinity in- Cluding the property of Finietter X Harvey. Mr. Devereaux came here at the request of the Southern Pacific r7anascment to examine the Black Warrior, for what purpose he said he was not fully advised himself, but probably to determine whether the amount of business that might reason ably be expected from the operation of the Blacl. Warrior and other mines west of Globe would justify the exten- sion of the G. V. G. 6; N. railroad via Black Warrior to Pinto creek. MT. DevereGux is well known to the old residents oi Globe. many Of whom availed themselves of the opportunity of renewing his acquaintance. He and his brothers, J. II. and H. K. Devcr- eauX, were engaged in mining in this district from 1881 to the summer of 1SS3 In the spring of 1SS3 they ran the Car rie smeiter on ore from the Big John ny and O'Dougherty mines, then owned by the Tacoma Copper company, but q sudden slump in. copper from 22 to F cents compelled d shutdown. w. E. DevereauX went from here to Aspen, Colo, where he was prominently iden- titied with the development of the rich silver mines of that camp, and still has mining interests and with his brothers owns the electric light and power plants there, as well as the electric plant at Glenwood Springs. Mir. Dev- ereauX was 90 favorably impressed With the Finletter & Harvey property and the evidences of mineral wealth Tn that vicinity that he has promised to return at an early date to make a | closer examination of the mines in this district.

associate. The writing of Q book and the building Of q play are dissimilar occupations. yet on the printed page, Mr Long shows that appreciation of theme and detail which goes to create atmosphere.
 In that remarkable book, The Prince O. Illusion,'' the persons of the story are blind child and his mother: the properties. a bed. and d ray of sun shine. Yet details are 90 used that the story is one of pathetic yet fascinating interest. In Naughty Man." Mir. Long depicted a young woman who had many admirers. Her flirtations were a subject Of grave concern to a young man who felt called upon to eXtricate her from situations in which frivClty involved her. The charm of Naughty Nan seems to be in it's delicacy Of sen timcnt. and in cIeverness of expression. Yet it is really due to the atmosphere of modern life which il breathes in every Iine.
 "A story" said EIr. Long, appeals to the mind. Tho printed page is read carefully and with critical eye open for flaws C. diction, crudeness Of work manship, loosencss of style. What passes very veil for rati,cs on the stage would often be reduced to bethcs in book. The spoken words do not appeal to the scnses as do the printed words, which you can turn back to and read again.

I simply wonder how you were able to imagine so well the real scenes of the Japanese olden time and costume" is the testimony of one of the more intelligent Japanese in Amer ica as to the atmosphere Of the play.
 HUNTING FOR A NAME.
 One of the most difficult details in connection with the writing of a play is the choice of title. for the name handle, if it i2e an ungraceful one, may mar a perfect work. More than one hurdred names were considered be- lore a suitable one was found. For several weeks the authors tried the ef- fects of nomenclature upon their friends. They watched the expression which came ever the features of the victims, and at last they found q title which embodied the spirit of the piece ard also stimulated curiosity. Among the candidates were: "The Red Pop py. The White Poppy" Princess Y0-San." Heart of Yo-San," "Behind the Shoji,'' The Moon Flower" Lily If Yeddo'' ''The Face in the Lanterns Light" and Daughter of Japan
 Nore of these answered the require nleEts, and last of all it was suggested that The Darling Of the Gods might do. as there were many divinities men toned and "Shaka," the Japanese Pan.

Nothing less than q dramatic mir
 acle. the critics write. is the Japanese play, The Darling of the Gods" which it's authors, David Belasco and Luther Long, have endowed with charms so subtle as to almost defy analysis. As a result of it's success. the book re- viewers have been overwhelmed with avalanches of Japanese literature; the stores stocked with oriental wares, and tea tables have become eloquent with discussions concerning cherry bless ons and Sake bowls. All this is only scratching the surface, for the causes

that 1t would make a good play.
 So it will" said Mir. Long, and with q knowledge of the dramatic art which literary man may gain from sitting in an orchestra chair he wrote the play. He read it to a circle of friends, and, observing an untranslatable eX- nrcssion on their faces out of the cor ner of his eye, he tore up the manu- script. Mr. Long tried again. and the result va sso much better that hc had the courage to take it to a New York manager, who shall be nameless. The director of theatrical destiny told him that it would not do.
 The Japanese environment" said he, is suited only to light opera and musical comedy. A serious Japanese play is bound to be a failure.
 What would you say to play" asked MT. Long, ''in which ali the char acters are Japanese?"
 Impossible" was the reply.
 The answer to this was Madame Butterfly" at the Herald Square d few months later.
 When the story oi Madame Butterfly appeared, David Belasco. playwright and manager, saw in it possibilities and obtained the dramatic rights. During the course of the drama tization. Mr. Long was occasionally consulted. The two men found that they were enough alike in their ideas, to work together in harmony, and an agreement Was made that they should cOlla boratc ir the writing of a play.

The Darling of the Gods" was slow in growing. 4 year and a half passed before the play was finally completed, and in every minute of that it seemed aa though it was on the minds Of it's authors. The dominant note was that tragedy which is compressed in the fate Of the Samurai, deprived by law of the two swords which were the out ward signs of their old-time chivalry -ttoir souls,

 HOW ME. LONG WORKS.
 In their independcnt labors, David BClasco and John Luther Long pursue much the same methods. MT. Belasco gees to a quiet country place, and MT. Long seeks the seclusion of the utter most parts of Philadelphia.
 MT. Longs home is at Ashbourne, one of the Quaker City's beautiful suburbs, a community occupied by such famous money kings as P. A. B. Widener, Will liam L. Eil1ins and John B. Stetson.
 "But they don't bother me, so l really don't mind," says MT Long.
 Most of the work on his novels and short stories is done at his Ashbourne hcme. in a typical den on the top floor Here he labors feverishly when the mood i:i on him until late in the night, Tor, rather. carly in the morning, for he seldom retires until a. m.
