evening, not only proved to be an enter
tanning comedy, but was further and per-
haps especially interesting because 1t in
troduced Mr.. Willard in a kind Of part en-
tirely different from anything in which he
has been seen hereabouts and illustrated
anew his remarkable versatility, his amaz-
IHs- ability for dropping nls- -ama-indIYIdua4-
ty into a character part like a plummet
into bucket Of wate,.
We are advised by an older generation
that IL was no uncommon thing for actors
of even a moderate degree of talent to
play repertoire almost without limit in
the palmy days of the stage when there
were giants. In our time about the only
stars capable OF going beyond a certain
prescribed zone for which their individ-
ualities nt them specifically seem

used 20 plays written particularly for the
actors i'm them rather than actors adjust
ing themselves TO the best to be had in
plays.
We don't know whether Mr. Willard
would he so remarkable a fellow as he
il II ne had been changing his bill every
night for a weeks run say ~ years ago.
But he is certainly remarkable now, at
the dawn OF the goth century. And. par
tiCuarly, did last nights performance
impress this feeling because it was the
first time this town hes seen Willard on
the stage in the clothes OF the contempo-
porary. gentleman. like fashion fgure

Sneak Thieves Alter AmaIeam

Shortly after niue O'Clock last Satur-
day night. three men, one Of whom
carried a rife. attempted to rob the
Little Matte Mill ON Chicago creek of
s.. 500 worth of gold amslgam. They
were discovered by the Chinese servant
who gave al alarm. and although they
had gathered the am.igsm in a large
can. IN their haste TO escape 1t was left
in the window sill.
An entrance was effected through a
rear window. the men evidently being
familiar with the fact that the amaigam
was kept in the Office aud that Manager
W. S. Leebrick is usually in this city on
Saturday nights. The desk was broken
open in which the amslgsm was kept in
a number of small recep;acles, and il
had all been empiied into large can
which was left behind in their hurried
exit.
The can of amalgam weighed over
twenty pounds A number of cartridge
shells were left on the floor of the office,
and stick Of dynamite with fuse and
caps attached was found lying upon
the safe. Although the inen were seen
by a number Of empl- yes as they made
their escape up Cottonwood guich, but a
meager description of the burglars was
obtained.

Black Eagle Prosperous.

The Black Eagle mine on Chicago
mountain is sill shipping large quantities
Of ore to the sampler. The ore was
opened in the fourth level east of the
Black Eagle shaft, and the streak is from
three 10 four feet in width, all of sinelt-
Ing grade. The mine is owned by the
American Gold Standard Mining and
Milling company, and the company has a

small way. with the result tina, the pres
ent large body Of ore was opened up.
The ore is identical in appearance with
thal produced from the Bismarck some
years ago, and also carries the same aver
age values. IL Is believed that the ore
sheet Is the continuation Of that in the
Bismarck mine.

An Impsoved Min Maehin<.

Calvin G. Weller. millman employed
at the Jackson mill in this city, has Just
been granted patent for a de-waterizer
and sizer, which will solve . difficult
problem in milling. At the present
time four OF the machines are in oper.
alton in the Jackson mill and are doing
excellent work. One is in use to filter
the water from Chicago Greek which is
used for the finishing tables. The water
from the Chicago creek pipe line is far
from clear Is the tail races of both the
Little Matte and the Allen mills dis
charge into the creek Tits water after
passing through this process is almost
clear enough for drinking purposes
Three other machines are in use, and
are making such separation of the ma
terial that three tables are handling the
pulp usually delivered to FIVE tables, and
the large revolving buddles in conse.
quence have but little mineral TO save.
The device consists Of q wooden tank
five feet in length and tapering to a
point at the bottom. IL this a drum
covered with canvas cloth revolves, and
and . hollow perforated shaft allows the
almost clear water to discharge at
either end from the hollow shaft. The
pulp which is retained in the tank can
then be delivered to the tables at any
desired consistency. The device is in
expensive to build and to operate, and
requires but little attention. The small
space which it occupies is also a great
advantage.
One of the most difficult problems of
the milling business 10 the elimination OF
the shines which is done more or less
imperfectly at the present time BY means
Of hydraulic sizers. clsssi6es and SET
Ting tanks. The Weller de-waterizer
and siser NOT only 6lters the water but
sizes At the same time, and any de-
sired 6rmses Of pulp can be delivered
TO the tables, the device thereby having
advantages over other apsratus now in
use. Mr.. Weller has not yet granted
any rights to his device, bat . number
cf millmes. Who have seen the excellent
results obtained. are negotiatisg Soe the
tse of the de-waserizes.

The Nav Festival.

The closing number of the series of
entertainments that have been given
during the winter months for the benefit
of the Carnegie library was the May
Festival Thursday evening. and in point
of enjoyment aud attendance surpassed
all other attractions. The two numbers
rendered by the Idaho Springs orchestra
demonstrated that the city now has a
musical organization of superior merit
and one of which the city may we'll be
proud-
The solos Of Mrs. Chas Brandstetter
and Miss Eliza Ellis were most excellent,
both singers admirably sustaining their
we'll deserved reputation as vocalists and
each was most happy in their selections.
The three chorus numbers excelled any
similar attempt ever made here and re-
fleets great credit upon Prof. Nenpert,
who has labored faithfully to bring the
voices up to their present state of perfec-
ton. 1t is very doubtful if there is in the
state . more complete musical organiza-
ton than this, and surely not one in
which harmony is so perfect. The selec-
tons were all most difficult, but 1t would
have required . trained musical ear to
detect q flaw in the renditions. Too
much praise cannot be given the individ-
uai members and the instructor. and 1t is
to be hoped that the organization may be
maintained intact.
Delightful diversions were introduced
in the programme in the nature Of one
act sketch Of . highly amusing character,
aud the introduction Of the aoth Century
Octet. trained by Mrs. o. W. Lowell. in
. novel and eomical musical skit. Each
pasticipant in these two numbers vers
we'll sdaptsd to their parts and delighted
the audience.
