The following is a criticism Of
Hamlet" by genius in New South
Wales:
There Is too much chinning In the
piece. The author is behind the times
and appears to forget that what We
want nowadays is hair-raisinC situa-
tions and detectives.
In the hands of a skillful play
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track OF Hamlet's uncle
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have excited the audience out OF their
No. lis.
The moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet cheeks his
mother is a very bad example to the
rising generation and IL is not i'm
proved when the dreary old ghost
comes In and blows him up.
''Our advice to the author is a little
more action. a little more hne senti-
ment and a fair share Of variety busi-
ness in his next piece. In the spe-
cialty arts of the play-scene he has
entirely missed his opportunities"

A Ioo-foot contract will be awarded
this week. for driving the Peters tunnel
on Chicago creek, with privilege OF re-
newal when completed. The tunnel is in
a distance of over 800 feet, having cut
two veins, both of which have been drift
ed on. The Pacific lode, which was
reached at 700 feet, has three foot streak
OF good milling ore exposed the entire
length of the 200 feet drift west. Picked
samples assaying as high as $500 per ton
have been obtained. This block OF
ground will be worked by leasers. as it
can be done without interfering with the
progress Of the heading. The property
was taken over some months ago by the
Deep Tunnel Mining. Milling and Trans
portation company, composed Of capital
lists of Kansas City and St. Louis. The
holdings of the company comprises 10
lode claims, mill site and 3ooo-foot tun-
