Twenty One Feet . Day.

Engineer 1. w. Mcconnell. in charge
of the tunnel construction, tells an En-
terprise reporter that the progress
averaged last week on the big bore was
l3 feet per day on the river end, and
eight feet on the valley opening. This
makes total average of Il feet per
day toward completion. The shaft is
now opened and drifting begun one
way, and shift has been or will be
put on today to drift the other way.
This will materially increase the pro-
gress. though the air drills are not yet
used in the tunnels from the bottom Of
the 264 foot shaft. Mr.. Mcconnell be-
lieves il will be about as cheap and
more convenient TO hoist the dirt from
the shaft and dump it directly, than to
run it out the tunnel when the latter
is complete. rs at the mouth Of the
tunnel the dump is quite fat. and the
rock will have 70 be hauled . mile and
y half from the bottom Of the shaft to
the tunnel dump. while up the shaft is
but 264 feet. and good dump within
few feet Of the top.
Within = week or ten days the tun-
mel will have gained total length Of
construction Of half mile. That will
leave l-2 miles yet TO be bored. To
complete that before April 80. 1903 will
require \ construction Of = feet Of
tunnel per day from this time on.
When the air drills are at work in the
tunnel from the shaft east, it Is ex-
pected to make 30 feet per day on an
average. -Montrose Enterprise.

0 III: "Jaeka,s" and His Br:y.

The right of jackass to his bray
has been adjudicated, so far as the
state of Kansas is concerned. The
postmistress of small town in that
state, after having suffered a torture
well nigh inconceivable to all who have
not undergone like experience, filed
petition in the district court asking for
a restraining order. The statement of
facts upon which she based her right
to the order was as follows: In q
stable adjacent to the postofice, which
was also the dwelling of the postmis-
tress, pair of long-eared jacks were
stabbed. The two animals, without re-
gard for the rights of the petitioner to
undisturbed quiet through the day and
peaceful slumber at night, frequently
and with vociferous voice joined each
other in making the night hideous and
the day unbearable with their caroling;
that in the exercise of their vocal
powers as aforesaid these two happy
but misguided creatures not only vio-
lated the usages of polite society hut
brought petitioner to the verge of nerv-
Gus prostration. As well as seriously in
terfered with the proper conduct of her
official duties, to wit, the receipt and
delivery of the mails.
In due course of time the case was
heard and the restraining order denied.
The inalienable right of a jackass to
bray was upheld by the court upon the
broad and incoutestible ground that
there is no way known to science to
stop jackass from using his voice in
such manner Is nature has designed
except to kill the jackass. The report
does not state whether the jackasses or
the postmistress suhsided after JUDI
ment ~ the e9slEt, Et,.1a9jAit1eeenaEy
uA1 IN MI o1oo1d BE dl0e5ooe6 save
Is grati6eatioa Of mere idle curiosity.
The chief interest in this case, Of
course, centers in the fact that, in
Kansas at least, the right of jackass
to his bray has been adjudicated and a
precedent established. 1t cannot now
be stated. however. whether the decis-
ions of Kansas courts are of such a
character as to constitute what the
lawyers call good law, thereby max
ing them of value elsewhere.
Attention is called to the fact that q
citizen of Wyoming ordinary lay
man-has challenged the soundness of
the Kansas courts decision on the
ground that there is way to keep an
ass from braying without killing him.
By simply tying stone to the crea-
ture's tail all ambition to bray will be
removed. The absurdity of this sug-
gestion, says the Kansas City Journal,
brands the Wyoming expert as a real
humorist. What could be funnier or
more certain of tragic consequences
than an attempt to tie rock to the
tail of Kansas jackass. or any other
rugged and assertive specimen of its
kind, for that matter? Any intrepid
eXperin,enter who would seek to carry
out this 'jackass experts plan would
never live to learn the result upon the
vocal procivities of the subject. -

ELFIE FAY.

Among the most promising attrac- tions offered this season at Polls is A H. Woods's production of "rhe Belle of Avenue A." with the favorite com edian, Miss Ellie Fay, as the star. Miss Fay, who will make her local debut in stellar capacity on Tuesday evening. is young actress of eonsid- erable ability. For many years she has been one of the best known and most popular vaudeville performers both in this country and abroad and has met with great success in such musical comedies as "The Belle Of New York ''The whirl of the Town" and The Southerners" Metropolitan critics have praised Miss Fay unstint- ingly for her droll eccentric comedy and odd method of her work. Rennold Wolf of the New York Telegraph de- clared her to be without doubt the funniest woman on the American stage" and many other well known critics have vouched for her ability in

JOHN DREW.

Last season John Drew toured the length and breadth of the country in a comedy of English life, acted largely by English performers and written by an English playwright. This season he is appearing in an American com edy, acted entirely by American actors and written by the ever-successful American playwright, Augustus ThOm- as. This is the three-act comedy ''De Lancey,' In the title part of which MT Drew is to be seen at Polls tomorrow evening. It is conceded that the pres sent work is the best that MT Thomas has yet given to the stage. The whole play abounds remarkably with brill
 liant dialogue, tinged occasionally by flashes of satire, and is kept alive every moment by three sprightly acts, with the theme varying between com edy and pathos. The story tells of the unsuccessful attempt at self-sacrifice by Jim Le Lancey, who would urge his friend, Dr Morton, to marry his fact that the girl really loves De Ean- cey as strongly as he loves her. Mir Thomas has been so bold in his com edy as to make something of hero of a divorced clubman. and it requires all the skill and dextrous finesse at Mir Drew's command to make the part as delightfully."- agreeable and emotionally strong as Jim De Lancey is throughout the play. The production, which in this city will be identical with that given for several months at the Elm pire theater New York, Is quite re- markable in its several instances of ingenious stage-craft The second act particularly, representing the exten- sive hot-houses or nursery of skilled gardener. is quite unique in it's kind as piece of effective stage illusion
 It is said to be copy of the green houses as they are laid out on the es, tate of ]. P Morgan. Mir Drew's tour over the country this season will neces- sarily be shorter than usual, from the fact that Charles Frohman has al ready arranged for his appearance at the New York theater, London. in this same comedy, beginning the first part of next May. Prices are $1.50, S1, 75, 30 and 9 cents. Positively no free 'llst.' e7'i

Denman Thompson's own company supports Mir Lawrence and the orig inal "Old Homestead" double quaret will be heard in new and popular numbers. Prices are 25, B, 30, 75 and ssL

 terbury was made as member of the all star cast headed by Kyrle Bellew and Eleanor Robson that presented She Stops to Conquer" last season at Polls As might be expected from his heritage and his experience, Sid ney Drew is a comedian of rare accom- plishments. and he has brought into vaudeville distinctively' brilliant style of comedy that is always effec-s tive.
