YOUTHFUL SINGER TO.
APPEAR IN NEW YORK
Master Harold Forman, Now at the
Belasco, to Sing at Majestic
Theater in Gotham

AS soon as Harold Forman completes
his engagement to sing in the Belasco
theater stock company's performances
of TON Moore" and "Parsifal' he will
go to New York. where he is under
contract to sing with Victor Herbert's 8
orchestra at the Majestic theater. Mr..
Herbert was exceedingly anxious to
have the boy, whose phenomenal So
prano has earned him wealth of fame
and not a little fortune, go to Gotham
at once, but his contract to sing at the
Belasco precluded his going east just
now.
Master Forman for several years has
been the soloist at st. Luke's church,
San Francisco. When he first applied
for admission as a member of the vested
choir his voice attracted immediate at
tention. Prof Sabin the chief vocal
instructor in San Francisco, heard the
boy sing and expressed the belief that
there was not another such voice in the
country. To prove his belief in young
Formans wonderful vocal gifts, he in
duced the lads parents to permit him
to instruct the boy, until now he is a
cultured singer, with thorough knowl-
edge OF phrasing and tone production.
After the expiration of his contract
with Victor Herbert, Master Forman
will be taken in hand by Nathan
Franko, the well-known New York
philharmonic director, and after a brief
tour of the largest cities Of the east
he will go to Europe for a season in
concert work.
In "Tom Moore at the Belasco to-
night Master Forman will sing "Kath-
leen Mavourneen" and Moore's own
composition. 1.-The Last Rose of Sum-

Afraid Of strong MedIcInes

Many people suffer for years from
rheumatic pains and prefer to do SO

taking any medicine internally. Rev

A great strike has been made at

$4,000 a ton has been taken from the
groupings on trench 1000 feet from

Ore is on the trend Of the vein. Where
the gold was originally discovered a
sledge hammer was used TO smash a
big bowlder and the tremendous val
'ues were found throughout.
The Combination mine Of Goldfield,
which has been paying dividends at
the rate of 10 per cent per month on
its capitalization of 100000 for the
past four months, announces that with
March 1 II will increase this dividend
to 20 per cent per month, or 24O per
cent per annum on its capitalization.
Most of this stock is held in Chicago,
Boston and Goldfield This mine was
originally purchased by Lucien l..
Patrick, the mining engineer of Dem
yer, Colo, for $75.0OO He paid $4,000
cash and the balance In thirty days
out Of ore extracted at depth of
eighty-three feet. Shafts have been
sunk 315 feet and values increased with
depth Mining engineers who have
recently prospected the property assert
that there is. at least $1,OOO,O0O worth
of ore in sight. Only fifteen miners
are found necessary to work the mine
]. j. McQuillan, one of the directors
of the Midway mine, who accompanied
shipment of six cars of ore to the
Western Ore Purchasing company's
plant, states that the first two cars
netted s10,965.30. The purchase price
of the other four cars is not learned
shipment of forty tons of ore will
be made from the Midway that is ex-
pected to net about $3.50 ton.
Quartctte Produces Gold
Colonel C. A. Hopkins of Boston,
Mass, treasurer of the Quartette Min
ing company, has arrived in Search
Light to make an inspection of the
property at Searchlight, Nevada. This
is property of wonderful proportions
and the development In the last two
years under management of F. A. Har-
rington is rapidly pushing it to the
front as one of the remarkable pro-
ducers of gold in Nevada The main
shaft has reached a depth of 800 feet
and sinking continues. Levels are
started every hundred feet, and drifts
each 100 feet, thus rapidly blocking
out ore for future stopping. The values
increase with depth as the ore is
graded and averages in value about
500 to the ton, which passes through
the twenty-stamp mill in continual OPP
Grafton. Fifteen to twenty cars of high
grade ore are shipped each month, and
the character of this ore as graded is
S to 15 per cent copper, 10 per cent
lead and six to twenty ounces of sill
yer. The ore in general is free milling.
Many improvements are being added
to the plant. Colonel Hopkins has had
built 40x60 two-story building, to be
used as a billiard hall on the lower
floor and as a public hall above; also
cottages and rooming houses upon the
grounds for employees instead of brick
houses. About sixty men are employed
in the Oua ette mine
