The piece is known as burlesque,
which it certainly is, nevertheless ii
affords an opportunity for some good
acting. Pepita is the child of Don Car
los, a Spanish nobleman. In order to
get her out of the way, that he may be-
come the heir, Enrique, the nephew,
plots with Dolores, and the child is de-
livered, together with bag of gold, to
Jose, the Gipsey chief. He is supposed
to kill her, but instead brings her up in
his camp, where she finally falls in love
with Lieutenant Beverly of the United
States army, when he visits the camp.
Enrique is mOrtally wounded In night,
and dies confessing his crime. His CO
conspirator, Dolores, stabs herself tc
slow music, the lovers are united, the
grief-stricken parents have their chile
restored to them, and the curtain goes
down with everybody happy.
Space will not permit detailed criti
cism of the several actors. Most Of
them have been seen in opera here sew
eral times, and the quality of their worl
is well known. All we're from South Paris
except Mr.. Dunn. Mr.. Pike and Mrs
Fifield of Norway. The last named
played the title role most charmingl!
and was enthusiastically received. 4
few new names appear in the cast, ant
Writ Stanley and Don Briggs may b
reckoned as additions to the available
operate material of the village.
The chorus is little in evidence II
Pepita, but what it had to do was don
we'll, and the tambourine drill by tn
Gipsey girls was exceedingly well rem
dered. Costumes and stage setting
were all ap, ropriate.
The financial results, while not enoi
nous, are very satisfactory.

The Burlesque Opera "Pepita.
VERY TAKING PRESENTATION ON TWO
EVENINGS.

What was undoubtedly the last elabo-
rate entertainment of the season at
south Paris was the presentation of the
burlesque opera "Pepita," which was
put on at New Hall Thursday and Fri
day evenings, under the auspices of the
Congregational society, and delighted a
good sized audience at each performance.
Pepita is not an opera with music of
own. 1t is all sung (no spoken parts,
and the words are set to old familiar
tunes. Perhaps on that account it is
heard with more pleasure by a portion
of the audience than q more elaborate
production. At any rate, the frequent
bursts of applause from the house testi-
fed that it was being fully enjoyed.
The cast of the opera was:

protect their interests against unprincpled stock jobbers, or better
known as fiscal agents." And again, with outside papers ana
mining men exposing and fighting such manlpulators, now Wouo
they view us if we should not raise our voice In protest, be 1t ever
so feeble? Is not an accessory as much guilty as the principal in a
crime? Is not a witness to a crime who does not lift his hand IN
protest as much guilty as the principal? And the DOCTOR
says that there are scores of eastern people who will not part with
their cash on any ordinary common sense statements, but Will on
on the "Barnum show advertisement circular" That may be per-
fectly legitimate according to the New York, or even Paris, notion
but to the unsophisticated and inexperienced mind it savOrs ofsome-
thing not exactly honest, or of which an honest mind WOULD hardly
conceive. Probably if a man came to you with a sack Of stuff that
he said was brass filings and offered them for sale, you would not
buy it. but instead he said it was gold dust and you bought it as
such, that man would be guilty of no crime? Unfortunately some
courts of Justice do not look at it that way. AS for apologies, we
always take great pleasure in so doing whenever we find that we
are in the wrong, but in the present case, so far, we cannot see
any possible reason to back down from the position we have taken
and, further, no amount of clustering threats can make us do so.
AS an illustration of how outside mining men judge properties so
advertised, we will just mention that a bunch of the circulars were
received here last night from an experienced mining man who
sized it up as follows: mo remarks necessary"

A Second Hand Shaft.

a producing and paying basis; and all
because the president and his board of
directors know nothing at all about
mining and because they are ignorant
of the requirements necessary in the
operation of a mining proposition.
Many eastern men, interested in min
ing affairs, have ideas $bout mining
that would be funny but for the fact
that their application are so disastrous
to their interests. Their intentions are
good, but their judgment is faulty. For
instance, a story is going the rounds of
the press about a mine superintendent
who cabled his English company that
the ''shaft had caved in and that a new
n would have to be made" The Eng
fish preaident of the company cabled
back: Cant you buy a second hand
shaft?" This is equal to the Kansas
method of cutting a dry well in sections
and selling them to settlers for post
holes. This is an old gag, but it is as
good as the buying of a Second hand
shaft" and illustrates and corroborates
the statement so often made regarding.
the ignorance of eastern capitalists re-
garding mining affairs. In the case of
the "second hand shaft" the affair is
laughable and not at all serious; but.
supposing that an emergency of great
Importance was at stake; a question
involved where life or fortune trembled
in the balance, then such ignorance as
that displayed by the English mine
president would have been disastrous
to the best interests of the company.
AS a matter of fact, too many ''sec-
ond hand shaft, men have the manage
ment of mining affairs; too many such
men have the handling of company
money, and too many of them are clam
oring for dividends and profits before
work has hardly commenced in mine
development and operation, in mine and
mill equipment.
The moral is that none but mon of
experience in mining should be intrust-
ed with the affairs of a mining COM
pany, and that all other methods of
mine management and operation are
hazardous and dangerous-to the in
vesting public. Salt Lake Mining Re-

The average farmer would make a
poor banker; the average banker would
not prove much of a success in cult
waiting theSsoil; the average miner would
soon wrecks mercantile business, Tand
the public; generally, would not Meet
with much success in mining operations.
Every business occupation requires a
peculiar talent, a certain knowledge
and a great deal of experience to sus-
tain it on a paying basis, and none
more so than mining, for mining, after
all, is a business proposition and must
be conducted as such if success is to
crown the efforts of those who pursue
the fascinating industry.
And yet, sad to relate, more rank ig-
norance is displayed by many who fol-
low mining as a business than is to be
found in almost any other industrial
pursuit, and the result of this lack of
knowledge of experience is clearly
shown in the disastrous failures record
ed in mining affairs throughout this in
~termountain region.
We say m4thise intermountain region
for the reason that it is in this section
that the majority of producing and
paying mines are to be found. But the
blame for these failures does not apply
to the real mining men of the west, but
to the ignorance and incompetency of
eastern investors who control certain
enterprises in this western country.
For instance, the directorate of many
mining companies is composed Of east
ern men who have not the least real
conception Of Thinning affairs, The pres
ident of a company may be a first class
eastern business man, but he has had
but a very vague idea Of how a mine
should be developed and equipped. His
superintendent may be a man of excep-
tional ability and experience, one who
had he but his way and ample funds at
his command, would soon prove to the
satisfaction of all the real value of the
property under his management and
direction. Generally, however, he is
handicapped by the eastern manage
ment, which bubbles at his requests,
ignores his recommendations, and fails
utterly at the critical point when intel
ligent and concerted action would soor
place the property of the company upor

The people of Elk City and surround
ing mining camps are taking active
steps to have that portion of the Bitter
Root forest reserve r~elinquished by the
department and are circulating petit
lions to be sent to our senators and
representativessas them to use their
influence to that effect.
There is a portion of the reserve ex-
tending from the middle fork of the
Clearwater on the north toS the south
boundary on Salmon river and to the
Montana line on the east, which con-
tains one of the richest mineral districts
in the west and should by all means be
excluded from the reserve. Under the
present red tape regulations it is almost
impossible to develop properties in this
section. Roads cannot be built, bitches
dug or timber cut until permits are Sc
cured from the department and this
takes so long that many would be in
vestors give UP in disgust and seek 9TH
er localities where they will not be
hampered by a lot Of unreasonable re
quirements that have to be passed upon
at Washington. The Elk City people
have started the movement and are de-
serving of the hearty support of all
good citizens who are interested in the
advancement of the state and the de-
velopment of the great mining proper
ties of central Idaho. -Grangeville Free

The Pioneers.

The Pioneers are passing away,
Forever lost to mortal view.
Some were-it cheers our hearts TO saw
The warmest friends we ever knew.
Twas the Pioneers that led the wav.
And fooled the lurksome foe ahead.
That others of less nerve than thew
Might in their footprints safely tread.
They led DER plains of scorching sand.
And mountains of perpetual snow:
They put to flight each warlike band
That dared proclaim itself a foe.
They explored jungles, dense and wild.
Developed mineral wealth untold.
Faced danger, with defiant smile.
And slew the painted warrior bold.
Many foes and barriers barred their wav
Yet seldom were they foiled.
And a hundred millions feast TODAY
From the products of their tolls.
When charity of them made demand.
All seldom was the wish denied:
For the Pioneer, a generous man
Was ever willing to divide.
In danger and toll he spends his DAVIS
III the sting of death ends his career
Then who, / ask, deserves more praise
Than the social, brave, old Pioneer.

long session with the resolutions com mittee was apparent. To the vast audience which faced him ne was but silent figure with moving lips.
 Senator Daniels concluded reading the platform at S:55 o'clock. When it was observed that he was reading, the convention broke into cheering.
 THE PLATFORM
 The democratic party Of the United States in national committee assem- bled, declares it's devotion to the essen tial principles of democratic faith, which brings us together in party conl- munion.
 Under them local self-government and national unity ad prosperity Were alike established. They uderiaid cur independence, the structure Of cur f e republic and every democratic exp1n- sion from Louisiana to California and fromtTexas to Oregon which preserved 1 faithfully the tie between taxation an1 representation. They yet inspire the masses of our people, guarding j5a,- ously their rights and liberties and cherishing their fraternity of peace and orderly development.
  responsibilities as citizens and impress upon us particularly at this time, the | necessity of reformand the rescue of the | administration of the government from the headstrong, arbitrary. and spas modic methods which distract business by uncertainty and pervade the pub 1 lie mind with dread, distrust and psr- ! turbation.
 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES.
 The. application of these fundamental principles to the living issues of the day is the first step toward the assur- ! ed peace, safety and progyess of cur nation. Freedom of the press, O. inc 1 conscience and of speech. and equality I before the law of all citizens, the right i Of trial by jury-freedOm Of the person defended by the writ of habeas corpus; | the liberty of personal contract -un- 1 trammeled by sunptuary laws; su- ! premacv of civil over military author- | ity; a we'll disciplined militia; separa- l ticn of church and state: economy. ia ! expenditures. and taxes, that labor may be lightly burdened; prompt and sacred fulfIment of public and private [ obligations; fidelity to treaties; peace 1 and friendship with all nations and en- 1 tangling alliances with none; absolute 1 acquiescece in the will of the major ity, the vital principles of republics- these are the doctrines which democra- cy has established as proverbs of th7 nation and they should be constantly l enforced.
 we favcr the enactment and admin istration Of laws giving labor and cap ital impartially their just rights. Cap ital and labor ought not to be enemiss Each is necessary to the other. Eacf has its rights. but the rights of labor are certainly no less vested no. less 1 "sacred," and no less 'inalienable, than the rights of capital.
