effective in the part. realizing the sybil both
in singing and acting. Mr.. Wegener has es-
sayed the character of Lohengrin before.
and was in no respect different from his
former impersonation. He makes a hand.
some and manly knight of the Grail.
Mr.. Arthur Deane brought to the part of
Telramud an intelligent discrimination a
dramatic appreciation and baritone voice
OF fine timbre and good range, which made
his representation remarkably successful
The king was impersonated by Mr. Robert
Kent Parker, whose rich and resonant
bass came out In splendid tones in the de-
clamatory recitative in the first act and
whose stature gave impressiveness and
majesty to the part Mr. Bennett. as the
herald, was also fine. The music alto
gether was we'll sung. particularly the con-
certed work and the chorus. Mr.. Schenck
conducted with authority
Tonight Ferdfs ''Rigoletto" will be given

USE OF CONCRETE IN
THE MINING INDUSTRY,

Concrete is now displacing wood in
the mining industry. 1t is found to be
more durable, efficient, and in the long
run more economical than timber and
lumber. Concrete, says the Architect
and Engineer of California, is used for
lining shaftes, airways and other open
lngs, from top TO bottom of the vari-
Il openings. 1t does away with the
water dripping down the sides of the
shafts, so common with wood Innings,
which rapidly d~eteriorate, and must
frequently be replaced, while concrete
once in place calls for little or no re-
pairs. At the same time it holds the
loose rock and earth in place, thus re-
moving the element of danger, which
is always more or less present in the
wooden Innings, especially in deep
mining, where death often results
from caving in Of the sides of the
shaft. Great tracts of forest lands are
denuded to supply timber required in
mining operations, and in numerous
instances, the timber supply having
run short, in the immediate vicinity
of the mines, long hauls at e ex-
pense are entailed to keep up the
necessary allotment to permit work to
be continued with safety. Concrete,
displacing wood in mining has brought
the desired relief in this respect. It's
use is destined to become almost uni
versal in permanent mining opera
tons. s-sIR
