An Entertainer,

Cyrus Brownlee Newton, who will
entertain the Carson people at the
Kintescope theatre on Thursday even
ing, is an entertainer of the finest
order. His mission in life has BEEN
to make people happy and forget their
troubles and he has performed this
work in every state in the union and
in many foreign cities. He comes u
this city by request and from the
character of the work he gives he
should have a packed house. People
who enjoy an evening of pleasure and
one worth remembering, should not
fail to be at the little theatre on
Thursday evening. The small price
of so cents for adults and 25 cents fol-
children is all that will be asked.

What Ghosts" Is.

WHICH 0uVSIo uSs
The following is the artists defini-
ton of his play and is what you will
be greeted with at the Theatre this
evening.
First Of all. Ghosts" is an absorb
ingly interesting play-as a play,
Henrik Ibsen, whose greatest work 1t
is, possesses perfect mastery of the
stage, and his Ghosts, judged sole
ly as a dramatic work, is faultless.
But the play is more than triumph
of stagecraft. 1t is the most pitiless
presentation of the scriptural injunc-
ton that the sins of the father shall
be visited upon the children. that has
ever been written. In it, the law Of
heredity is worked out to its terrible
end. Grief, dread, terror and upper
mitted love accompanying the usual
characters in their march to destiny.
Musis is obmitted as Ibsen re-
CARDS is as obtrusive Three knocks
on the stage will indicate the rise Of
the curtain before each act, according
to an old Norwegian custom.

Auto Accident.

RENO, Oct 31.-A telegram receiv-
ed in this city this afternoon states
that one woman was killed and ano-
Their dangerously injured in an auto
mobile accident near Golden Cato
Park. Miss Kate Fox, a former resi-
dent OF Nevada was seriously injured
and it is feared that her life will
pay for the pleasure Of the drive. The
lady accompanying her on the trip IS
dead, and the driver and owner of the
machine are seriously injured. Tho
cause of the accident was not stat
ed.
Miss Kate Fox, who is spoken Of in
the dispatch was former resident of
this city, where she acted as a steno-
grapher in the Capitol building. She
was also employed in tn eMint at the
last coinage run. Her friends in this
city will deplore her misfortune.

W OIf1Eh DOUBTFUL ASSETS.
Included in the same item Of AS
sets" as shown by the annual state
ment is the sum of $91.301 43 10
first year premium notes. Very few
companies accept notes at all for the
frdt premium. Agents may take
them, but at their own risk. They
are not regarded by conservative
companies - valid assets Yet in
case the reserve liens and first year
premium notes together make up
$1.228,577 rs or within $1,30S OF Ct
the entire reserve. Another remark
able feature of the case is that the
whole amount of first premiums Cor
the year, as shown by the annual
statement, was only $90,979 q, yet
We have $91. 301 43 of first year prem
ium notes! Did the company get no
cash at all for its new business or are
most of the first year premium notes
more than year old? And what IS
their probable value as assets?
(1O) THAT SURPLUS (?)
The company claims surplus of
$2S9.S42 55. OF this amount $500, 900
consists of the capitol stock belonging
to the stockholders, leaving an ac-
tual surplus of $S9,S42 SIS. If we de-
duct first year premium notes ($91.-
3O1 43) the surplus disappears and the
capital is impaired to the extent Of
$l,458 SO. It is interesting to note
that the stockholders paid in during
the year, as premium on capital stock
the sum of 100000 which has all disa-
peared.
CID EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES
AS shown by the companys annual
statement. the total premium income
for 1901 was $313,052 sc while the
expense for management was $3.50.
54S 50 or over 80 per cent. Adding
| to the total premium income the sum
OF $4,000 40 rents and interest, we
nave a total income of $358,133 O6,
mot including premium on capital
stock, reserve liens, etc. } That IS
] the expenses of management we.

A. H. Phinney Talks of Activity at
 Mayer.
(From sunday Daily.)

(From Sundays Daily.) A. II. Phinnev, the banker from Michigan who has been in Prescott and vicinity for the past few weeks, returned last night from a trip down the Mayer district.
 He speaks very Interestingly of his 1 observations around the Crown King country, also stating that the Crown King mining proposition is looking very good to the owners at the pre- sent time.
 The Cadillac has shaft down 100 feet in good ore, and the Saratoga is being unwatered. Two tunnels are being run by the Crown King Com pany at the present time. One shows rich ore on the ''Zika' vein, and the other will be run for about 1,600 feet underneath the Crown King re- gular workings.
 The Crown King mill has started up under the superintendency of J. O. Dimmick, and is at present milling tine immense pile of tailings aecu- mulated during the past. Dimmick is an expert at milling of this kind, being the patentee of an hydraulic '' sizer'' which is able to handle tine fine powder in a dump. This "sizer" separates the dump pulp into mine sizes. and concentrates them on Will fey tables and Frue vanners.
 Dimmick's twenty years experience in handling dump ores eminently fits him for this work. and assures a rich return from this pile of tailings, which has been estimated as containing $jOO.OOO worth of gold.
 MT. Phinney brought some samples with him showing the work that this .'sizer" can do and it is hard to be- lieve that so simple a machine can produce such astonishing results. The machine produces sizes in gradation from coarse gravel to a fine powdered sand.
 He also reports that the Treadwell shelter is in operation, and states that this shelter will soon be ready to purchase ore.
