it would be rather strange if no more
bio mines should be discovered in this
part of the country and among
those who held there were other
mines was Henry CroweIl, says
the Delamar Lode. He began his
search by studying the course and
characteristics of the different veins
and at last concluded they crossed
the Cedar Wash about a mile and a
half from Delamar and there located
the Golden Gate group OF claims. For
ten years lie has been prospecting
the ground, and during that time has
done 1900 feet Of work in tunnels
and shafts and spent close to$l3, 0OO.
Many things have occurred to dis
courage him, but he has persisted
and has now reached a point where
success seems assured. For some
time he has been drifting to cut a
big ledge that crops to the surface
and is apparently a continuation OF
the Delamar ledge. Under ground

Herbert and Smith
Four Examples of Their Remarkable
Versatility.


The versatility OF a great composer
and a famous hbrettist is demonstrated
In the first four weeks OF opera under
the direction of Milton and Sargent
Aborn at the Lafayette Opera House. AS
1t happens. the first four operas on the
schedule are by the same author and
composer. and. by the bye. are consid-
cred the four best works OF Harry B.
Smith ard Victor Herbert.
Mr.. Herbert cannot be exoelied in a
peculiar quality he possesses of produc-
ing.a certain characteristic atmosphere
in his music which just fits the scene
or the subject No composer Of light
opera has sh6wn this faculty to such
marked degree. In The Fortune Teller
we were charmed by the general Hun
garian style In his score. which. while
thoroughly original. was so Characters

country.
While THE Fortune Teller was like
a great painting. The Singing Girl re-
sembled dainty piece Of Dresden china
painting. In the latter every jingiing
air. every stately measure. and every
grand ensemble was as appropriate TO
the picture as I'm the former. The third
weeks presentation, THE Wizard Of the
Nile took us to another cline and an
other people. demanding a style Of COM
position just as different as one comic
opera could possibly be from another.
The comedy was constructed along the
lines best fitted for Frank Daniels. and
consequently most happily suited to Fred

oughly suggestive OF the picturesque and
unique Egyptian surroundings. and al
though characteristic OF Victor Herbert.

other compositions.
