Recital and Comedy.

The program in Lexington College
chapel on Monday evening was a es-
p~ecially unique ana attractive one,
while the decorations we're beautiful
in their prOfusion OF lilacs and ferns.
Miss Claire NJ. Webster, graduating
from the Department Of Elocution,
sustained her varied and difficult
roles With easy effectiveness.
The c%1llcquial and conversational
styles OF Iarrie's "Invalid 10 Lodg.
ines'', and one Of the Princeton
Stories, 1.-The Hazlng Of Valiant"
were admirably given. The reader
certainly held her audience, carrying
them safely through to the unex
pected denoument.
Her representation Of Romola and
OF Savanarola were realistic showing
careful Interpretation Of the charac-
tiers. The exquisite little gem of
Aldrich was rendered very artist.
cally, while the ''Nervous Woman at
the Telephone" fully enlisted the
sympathy Of the responsive audience.
The serio.comic OF 1.-THE Innocent
Drummer" was graphically presented
and thoroughly ENJOYED.
The ComediAtta, with Misses Web
ster and Vsda Gee as dramatis per-
sonal was certainly a most enter
taining piece Of acting and the young
ladies entered we'll into the spirit Of
the play. The work was in good
taste, natural, nor was 1t overdrawn.
A delightful feature OF the evening
was the posing, in Greek costume OF
three couples as they represented the
sentiments Of the songs sung by Miss
Ethel Gibbs The young ladlesin the
Tableaux MOuvants were tie Misses
Virginia Graves, Quindara Jones,
EvAdne Cooper, Lillian Wood, Beth
Whitaker, Hazel GreGg,-and IL is
not strange that they should be in
splred and thrilled by the voice which
accompanied them.
The program closed with a fencing
and wand exercise which was very in
terestIng, the last movement being
especially graceful and we'll executed

Over.

p. X. Bishop and his brother,
George Bishop, of Baker City, owning
the Climax group IN the Cracker
Creek district, came up this morning
and went out to the property to
make an inspection preliminary to
starting mp work.
The Climax group contains hre
clai ms adjoining theColnmbia and
has been worked to u greater or less
extent for the last eight years.
There are hundreds of feet of tunnel
on the property, and many snbstan'
tial improvements. The owners are
confident that they have the Colum.
bia lead. This belief seems to he
bo rne out In the fact that during
past operations exceedingly high
grade are WAS encountered on the
claim adjoining the Columbia.
Much of this ore was shipped, aud
some of II avraged sl20 to the ton.
1t Is the present purpose of the
owners to get operations again
under way as soon Ms conditions will
permit.

RESUME PLACER MINING
ON OLD EAGLE CREEK

II IL ANTICIPATED that extensive
placer mining will be carried on
Eagle creek during the coming
season.
The HilIboro Placer Mining com
pauy. of Hillsboro, Oregon. after
having thoroughly tested the ground
aud performed II large amount Of pre-.
liminary work last season, have
concluded that the outlook justifles
going ahead with that branch of min
ing on quite IN extensive scale.
This company owns the Merritt
ditch. They propose to thoroughly
repair Il and increase its capacity to
3. 900 miners inches. An up to date
hydraulic elevator will also be in.
stalled.
Their holdings consist OF about
$50 acres of Huriferous ground,
seven claims having been acquired by
purchased and the remainder secured
by location.
II has long been known that large
quantities of gold existed In the bed
aud on the bars of this creek, but on
account of the many boulders
that Il WAS necessary to handle, 1t
became evident that capital aud work
on n large scale were necessary to
handle the ground aud make 1t highly
remunerative.
BESIDES the yellow metal In the
form ot grains aud dust. this creek
has been prolific In its yield Vt mug
gets, although none Of extraoI dinary
size have yet been picked up.
Several years ago William Meschat

of one $50 chunk and several of les

familiar with Eagle Creek are Of th'
opinion that II will be very product

He says he counted ten snOwslides
between the Chloride aud knapp's
old place. One of these wrecked the
Chloride power house. Between the
Chloride and the Adelene there g
another big slide. These slides will
make the matter of getting In sup.
plies practically impossible for some
time to come, since they have 10
many places almost con pletely
blockaded the roads, aud II viii take
IA protracted period Of warm weather
to melt away the snow.

east some time ago, aud will make his

Rev. W. j. Hughes. of Baker City,
one of the owners of the Equity In
the Quartzburg district. was Oh the
train this morning en- route to the
property. Mr.. Hughes says the five
stamp mill at the mine is now in full
commission night and day. He has
on hand lot of high grade ore
which will be shipped to the Sumpter
smelter as soon as the roaus are In
condition.
The litigation between the Equity
and Keystone people has not yet been
settled, but since the removal of the
Injunction. the Equity has been
working the ground In dispute.
The case will be tried on its merits.
No time. however, has been set for
hearing.

he INJURED his
TELESCOPE EYES

Thomas Mofett, he Of the high
power telescope eye, sustained u
very painful aud likewise a very
serious injury to his lenses while
exporting Il placer property for Ed
Hauser near Auburn the other day.
BE II known by these presents,
aud II has been 80 stated befoIe. that
Mr.. Moffett possessm pair Of optics
of great power aud penetration,
particularly valuable in searchi Dg
for placer gold. 1t 10 said that he
can easily discern the smallest
PARTICLES Of the yellow at depth OF
fifteen or twenty feet with single
glance. thereby rendering calcula-
ton ss to the value Of the deposit a
matter of extreme ease. 1t was to
this end that Mr.. Hsuser sought bis
services. But Mr.. Motfet over did
himself. 1t is stated that he took u
drink of China whiskey at Auburn
before venturinR upon his celebrated
stunt. aud this perhaps aroused bis
ambition, causing him to be seized
with q desire to show of. he pene'
trated to the wefoot formation In al
easy, OF hand manner, but IN trying
to break his record In sinking his
gaze to bedrock seam was en-
countered. his vision became
"Hschured" aud badly strained. II
Ia now laid up for repairs aud Mr..
Mofett is consulting all the well
known occulists of the country.

new lenses made.
