"MACBETH" HIS subject
II. w. KnickerbOcker Gives Talk
Followed by Dance.

AT the opera house on last Wednes-
day evening, II. w. Knickerbocker
delivered thoroughly interesting
Shakespearian reading, choosing
Macbeth" for his subject After
brief Introductory remarks, he read
well chosen selec tions from the great
tragedy's dialogue. These he inter.
spersed with explanations and critical
comments which made them most
entertaining.
Mr. Knickerbocker's theory Of
Macbeth is, indeed, the prevailing
theory held by students OF Shake
peare's art. The great dramatist,
he claims, is so universal in his sym
pathies, so impartial in his judgments,
that, like Emerson, he espouses the
cause of neither vice nor virtue but
by a truthful portrayal of both
teaches the great fundamental trutt
that retribution belongs TO this life
rather than the hereafter.
In the entertainment Of the large
audience which haa assembled, Mr.
hnickerbocker had the able assist
lance Of Misses Eva Roach and Ruby
kermeen, Miss Eva Roach suns
Beware most creditably, and Miss
hermeen rendered dramatic read
ing, "A Modern Cinderella, which
also met with great favor.
After the literary and musical pro
gram was finished, the seats were re
moved and the younger persons pres
,ent INDUCED in dancing until lat
hour Altogether the affair prove'
most ENJOYABLE.

MoNTANATONOPAH SHIPS 40 TONS OF ORE DURING OCTOBER

The drift which is being driven for
air to the North Star is going rap
idly and as the North Star has put
in two shifts of men coming west to

most likely be made by December LIST,
After the two mines are connected,
the ventilation will be as nearly per
feet as possible The winze on the
ledge. 200 feet north of the shaft on
the 5l2 foot level, is down thirty feet
and altogether in ore showing high
values. During the month of Octo-
Der the shipments aggregated Z'O
tons. The size of the ore house has
been doubled and a second grizzly
is being put in, which will increase
the output materially for the coming
month The company will also in
stall rock breaker, in which all OF
the ore taken from the mine will be
crushed, and in future the shipments
will consist of only the one grade OF
ore instead Of two as has been the
practice heretofore.

SIEGE IS ORDERED.
President Castro Decides Not to
Storm Ciudad Bolivar.

Soledad Venezuela, July 16.-The
situation is unchanged. The attack on
Ciudad Bolivar by the Venezuelan gov
ernment troops, which appeared immi-
nent yesterday morning, as cabled to
the Associated Press at the time, has
been deferred at the request of United
States Consul Henderson, Herr Brok-
man. the German consul, and~the bish-
tro, through General Gomez, the COM
mander-in-chief of the government
forces, a long telegram asking him to
be magnanimous and to show mercy to
all if the revolutionists surrender. The
president answered as follows
Yes, for every one except the traitor
Ferrera, the author of so many tears
and the cause of making so many or
phans."
The final pesiod of delay given by
General Gomez for a definite answer to
his request for the surrender OF General
Rolando and his followers expires today,
but the correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that at the last min
ute President Castro wishing to save
the lives of the Inhabitants of Ciudad
Bolivar and to avoid the horrors which
must follow the storming of the city,
ordered General Gomez not to open fire
if he is not attacked. but to simply be-
siege the city The revolutiOnists, hav-
ing no provisions. cannot resist more
than ten days.

NOT so PROMISING.
Indications in the Iron Market Not
Up to Expectations.

Cleveland, o., July 16.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says;
Indications in the iron market have
not been as promising in the past week
as was TO be looked for in the wake
of the good rail buying of a few weeks
previous. The long delayed buying
movement for which the time has been
repeatedly set in the past few weeks,
is still in the future, and is now dis
cussed with less confidence than at any
time since the high point was reached
Actual developments of the past week
are the third reduction of prices by as
sOciated southern furnaces, lower quo
tations on northern pig iron in eastern
and central western markets, lower
prices for bar iron, and an attitude on
the part of buyers in all lines that
points to a lower basis before any free
buying can be recorded.
There are increasing indications that
production is in excess of consumption,
and without trying to locate the point
al which some blast furnaces must
blow out if descent goes on, the policy
of buyers argues belief that the swing
is still to be in their favor. Something
may be inferred of the effect of high
prices in stimulating production by the
output of southern blast furnaces on
July l, which was at a weekly rate OF
about 81 900 tons, as against about 4S,OO0
tons in March, 1902, when southern
No. 2 was sold at s12 and a profit. Part
of the increase comes too from the most
modern furnace in the south, and from
improvements to the stacks of the larg-
est producers. The reduction of No
foundry to $3.50 by the Chicago meet
ing of associated furnaces last Friday
is not more significant than the pre-
vious reduction to $15 the market hav-
ing already fixed lower level in both
cases. Buyers now talk $12 and will
buy little while they wait. Pig iron
stock figures for July 1 showed an ac-
cumulation in June of about 10000.
Production is now at the rate of 21,5OO,-
600 tons a year.
