"When We Were Twenty-One."--
when We Were Twenty-One," which
will be at the Illinois theatre this ev-
ening, is so far above the musical farce
monstrosities and impossible melOdra-
mas that have been deluging the stage
in recent years that comparisons with
them are entirely impossible. The
verdict of the New York critics, as
well as of the press of the entire coun-
try. where the play has been produced,
is unanimous in declaring that we must
go back to the great masterpieces OF
the past to find suitable standards by
which to judge When We Were Tween
ty-One." 1t is also announced with
authority that the best company that
has ever appeared i'm the production is
The one of the present season, and the
beautiful comedy-drama is having I'M
precedented success as a consequence.

SCHWAB STARTED THE
RUSH TO GREEkWATER
Pioneer Succeeds in Interest
ing Capital After Many
Years of Waiting.

c. n. Butler Of this city, who has
been spending several weeks In the
lower Nevada mining camps and in the
Greenwater region, is back greatly i'm.
pressed with the copper showinGs in
the Greenwater country. This portion
Of Death Valley has been Stunned FOR
years by prospectors generally, only
few venturesome spirits daring the
hardships of the valley. Ono OF these
venturesome spirits Is A. kunz: who
should be termed the father of Green-
water. The deposits OF copper in this
region have been known TO the world
for over fifteen years, but not until Mr..
kunz succeeded in interesting Charles
M. Schwab in the Qreenwntcr group
would capital have anything TO do with
the district.
With the buyiug-in OF Mr.. Schwa6
the rush began, and Mr.. Butles states
it is practically impossible for any ono
to find sufficient ground 10 hold 10
cation stake. For miles the country has
been taken up, and there is being con

opmcnt work as tho natural 1isadvant.

Mr.. Butler is more than pleased with

states that there is no question OF tho
quantities OF surface ore that can DO

tinuity Of tho ore with depth. Ho

and has the making OF a big proposition.
Mr. Butler visited Emigrant Springs
during his trip, and states that Sehwab
and Bob Montgomery have as fne q

desire. There are $4,000 or more OF
supplies on the ground at this time, and

EASTERN UTAH IS
FULL OF COPPER
Red Metal Showings Serve to
Surprise Those Who Have
Investigated.
MUCH ACTIVITY is
NOW NOTICEABLE
Pioneer States That Many Cop
per Camps Are Bound
to Blossom,

Little ever is heard OF the mineral re-
the State of Utah, although this region
is being literally sprInkled with the ef-
forts Of prospectors. G. T. Taylor. who
is one OF the pioneers OF the Ulntah
reservation territory, is a guest at the
Cullen, and when asked by The Tribune
Friday Tor an expression on the mining
situation his way, stated that there would
be number OF good copper camps opened
UP within the coming few months whose
merits would be impressed upon the
minds OF the local fraternity in no un-
certain manner.
Mr.. Taylor owns group OF thirty
claims in the Willow Creek region, aud
what is not generally appreciated. there
are several Salt Lakers who have met
with successes in other mining fields
associated with him in this venture. The
properties are located in Utah, but they
are very near the point whore the States
OF Utah. Colorado and Wyoming corner,
being Just about fifty-elght miles from
Rock Springs. Mr.. Taylor states that
there has been q great deal OF eXplora-
tory work done upon this group. and that
these efforts have not been in vain is
shown by the character of copper ore
which he exhibits In thie city.
Several shafts have been commenced
upon this group. the deepest being
seveutynve feet or more at present. Mr..
Taylor states that for this entire dis
tance the working has descended in ore,
growing better as depth is gained, the
entire body averaging from az to 8 per
cent IN the red metal. The surface
oroppings are described as being very
large. and there Is every Indication that
Ia character. Ia addition TO carrying
the red metal, the ore contains some
gold values, not exceeding 81 per ton up
TO the present time. but this metal may
yet result IN no small Income to the
operators. The highest copper values.
states Mr.. Taylor. that this group has
given amounted to 43 per cent.
Mr. Taylor ia confident that the north
fork OF the Duchesns river Is to be the
futurs homo Of considerable remunera-
tive activity. There are a large number
OF prospectorB securing this region, and
more are arriving each week. The prop
critics being worked at this time contain
gold ore mainly, although In spreading
the lines OF this region much copper
ore has been taken into the district.
Mr.. Taylor and associates have Ave
claims hero. and they have been operat-
ing them for some little time, UP to
the present the highest gold values have
been S12 per ton. but the generous guam
titles Of such rock lead those interested
to believe that they have large milling
proposition. Efforts are being made to
reach reasonable depths before making
any definite plans for the future.
Although the eastern portion OF the
State has not received the attention that
the western half has in q IMMORAL way,
Mr. Taylor Is certain that this part OF
Utah Will bear careful inspection, and
he feels sure that his predictions will be
backed by disclosures within n reason
able time.

IL IL expected that with the return Of
Ford w. Corrcll, manager OF the Nevada

Will follow closely upon the trail OF

vada successes for Salt LaRcrs have been
more pronounced than those registered
upon this Humboldt county proposition,
tho management having demonstrated
during the present years work that the
company owns a 1rst-class producer OF
silver and lead.
While somo OF the Nevada Superior
ore has run we'll into big money, as is
shown by this companys frequent rich
shipments TO the local market, and IL
takes valuable ore TO bring profits under
the present difficult transportation facili-
ties, the main hold the Nevada Superior
property has upon magnificent future

Which Stockholders Viii Meet

A call has been, issued by the Lower
Mammoth company for the stockholders
TO meet on tho gath OF October for the
purpose Of disposing Of the rsoommenda-
tion recently made by the directors. This
recommendation was to increase the cap
itali2ation OF the company from 10000
shares TO 100000, the directors finding
no more satisfactory way of providing
adequate funds and equipment for this
property. The Lower Mammoth is no
longer a prospect which Is to be ex-
perimented upon, the public has come to
regard IT in its true light. and there can
be no longer doubt that the property Is
mine of no mean dimensions.
In order. however. to enable the man
agement 10 reach the resources Of the

the surface economically and expedi-
tiously 1t has become necessary to add
several improvements TO the property

NATIVE COPPER ORE
IN FORTUNA MINE
Handsome Samples of What
Company Has Struck Now
in City.

That a new copper producer OF large
dimensions has entered the Bingham
neld is apparent from the nature Of the
developments In the Fortuna property OF
late, Superintendent W. N. Rossbsrg OF
the Fortuna company, came into the city
Friday morning with a lot Of as nne
looking specimens OF native copper ore
as has been seen In Salt Lake for many
day. Mr.. Rossberg states that these
specimens should not be considered
specimens entirely. as tho entire face Of
the working from which they came is
shot full OF tho same quality OF ore.
The ore comes from the s0o-foot level
OF the Mayhower, giving the ore body
a vertical depth OF between 1000 feet
and 1900 feet. Mr., Rossberg states that
for the last nifty feet the drift has been
going into equally as aue quality OF
shipping ore. the body boing one OF tho
hest OF high grade that the camp OF
Bingham has produced. Ono interesting
feature OF this development is the fact
that the largest portion OF the Fortuna
ground lies still ahead OF the face OF
the drift and the rest OF the present
season Of development should AFFORD
some highly satisfactory returns TO the
company

SCARCITY OF MINERS.
Unprecedented Activity and Nevada Is
Mostly to Blame.

The scarcity OF mining labor In Utah
has been a matter OF general apprecia-
tton for some months past, and similar
complaints arc coming from California.
Arizona. Idaho and Mexico. so much So
IN fact. that authorities are asking the
question. where has all the mining labor
gone? Local mining men have several
reasons TO explain the scarcity Of min
ers, but at least two reasons may be
said to be sound. explaining why the
man TO handle the drill is 30 greatly In
demand.
In the first place. there never was
such demand for labor In the Western
regions Mining Is being carried on out
West ON a wholesale basis. and prop
critics formerly handling few miners
could easily double their present quota
and still have room for more TO work
This demand for labor has come from
both the mine owner and the railroad
builder. both creating n market hard to
I'll by their unprecedented scope OF ac
tivities.
The other reason is the fact that Ne
yada has attracted thousands OF men
who are capable and efilclent miners,
consequently good material for the pros
pector. They have been covering the
hills Of Nevada three deep for the past
year or more. Their generous presence
in that State could not be shown more
positively than by the fact so often
found that in n district not over
month old at least one promising prop
erty Is employing all the way from ten
to thirty men A new district is dis
covered today. tents are up tomorrow.
and each tent represents usually one
or two men who are willing TO work for
wages.
The field for the miner is growing
faster. perhaps, than the supply can
follow. and IL comes down 10 the prop
osition that more men must be intro
duced into the mining circle.
