"De Lancey."

John Drew and "De Lancey" have pro- vided the most brilliant, as well as the most triumphant opening that any Elm pire theatre season has thus far had. Crowded houses have admired and enthu- sastically enjoyed MI. Drew's charming performance of the hero in Augustus Thomas splendid comedy since its first night. The triumph has been complete for both star and play. It Is conceded that the present work is the best that MT. Thomas has yet given to the stage It's dialogue is of the wittiest, fun teem- ing quality, and there are fully five times more laughs in 1t than in any of its successful predecessors. The hero Is a Drew part. that appeals in the strongest way to MT. Drews admirers. It gives full play to all the excellent qualities of this comedian's art and permits him to get more laughs over the footlights than in any production he had had since he became star. He has plenty of sentimental work besides, for there is a charming love story that Is told with surprising novelty and that provides sev- eral attractive scenes for MT. Drew and his leading woman Margaret Dale. MT Drew has scored so magnifcantly in "De Lancey'' that 1t will no doubt be the most prosperous as it already Is the most delightful of the plays in which he has appeared.

New Football Satire.

Montgomery and Stone have introduced a new football satire in this seasons edi- tion of "The Wizard of Oz." which is absolutely original in makeup and bus mess" These young comedians are prob ably the most extensively copied artists in the field of extravaganza, and their new football song has already attracted in their wake a horde of vaudeville pir- ates, who exist by initiating other mems work, and stealing their ideas. If imi- tation is the sincerest form of fiattery, then Montgomery and Stone may pride themselves upon the tribute paid them by these non-creatve members of the the- atrcal profession.

PRESIDENT ROSS OF THE
 STANDARD EXONORATED.
The Grand Jury, After Thorough Ex- animation, Failed to Find a Bill
 Against Him.

It will be remembered by readers of the ERA that in June of this year a regular meeting of the Standard Copper Mines, held at the office of the company in this city. was broken up in a TOW, and the minute book of the company taken by local share holders. President Ross of the com pany stated at the time that he was seized by some of those present, and the book forcibly taken from his possession.
 Immediately after the meeting was broken up a warrant was sworn out by Wm. Hoff, a local shareholder of the Standard company, charging MT. Ross with embezzlement and theft of monies during the years 1904 and 1905. The warrant was served on MT. Ross on the following morning, and at preliminary hearing before Justice Neff, he was placed under bond of S2500 for his appearance be- fore the grand jury. The bond was given, after which MT. Ross left for the east. He returned last week. and his case was one of the first brought before the grand jury, which failed to find an indictment although those interested in the prosecution had ample opportunity to, and doubt less did, present all of the evidence upon which the charge was made.
 The ERA is informed by telephone from Solomonyille, that Judge Tucker yesterday announced that Mir. Ross was exonorated, and ordered his bond released.
 The ERA hopes that these unpleas. ant matters, which have been greatly detrimental to the welfare of the company, will now be dropped for good and all. The company has a very bright future. It has one of the richest mines in the territory, in fact several of them and if the in- of the company is done away with, it will be but short time until the stock will find ready sale at its par value.
 MT. Ross had retained F. B. Laine, of Clifton, and Judge Edwards, of Solomonville, to look after his inter- ests, while those making the charges retained Wiley E. Jones to assist the district attorney in the prosecution.
 MT. Ross will visit the mines for few days before returning to New York,

MT. Billingsley lost his hat, coat and pocketbook, but thinks he got off very cheaply.

A LOcoed Ya0ui.

Last week George Caywood brought crazy Yaqui Indian into town and turned him over to the officers. The Indian had been annoying the people in the neighborhood of York Flat, on the Gila river. He seems to be harmless, at least he is at the pres ent time, for the reason that he is so emaciated from hunger and lack of attention that he was in a serious con- dition physically as well as mentally. His great hobby is dead people. He can see them day or night. He says that they are always with him. and annoy him greatly. Sometimes he can see as many as four of them, but one is particularly annoying to him. When placed in the lookup here, he asked the officers why they did not take him up stairs where he had been kept before, from which it was inferred by the officers that he had previously been in jail. He said he was from Phoenix. He would not confess to having committed crime; but he was always in great distress; and refused to eat or drink unless forced to do so. He will stand in a corner of a room for hours at a time, with his hands over his face, crying like child, and begging those pres ent to ''take them away" The officers are of the opinion that he has killed few people at different times in his life, and that now in his weakened physical and mental condition, they return to haunt him, and make his life miserable. He was conveyed to Solomonville where he will be ex- amined touching his sanity, or per- haps his insanity. He will no doubt be sent to the asylum.

John Keppler returned this week from Lowell, where he went to locate a few weeks ago. He reports Lowell as very lively, and thinks it will rival Bisbee in a few years. However, he prefers Clifton, and says that a work ing -fff5tffii- fff5tffi- ca do better here, though wages are higher in the southern country. Expenses are also higher there. MT. Keppler paid Sl7 per month rent for a two room house, and he also found other expenses in the same proportion. The wage for miners is $3.5O for eight hours which is better than the Clifton-Morenci district, but the mines are hot, caused by the steam pumps located on the lower levels.
