Maybe M. Plancon has lost something
else in the years that have passed since
he brou ght to this country the best tradi-
tons Of the Grand Opera in Paris. He
has lost some Of his lines. for instance. al
though the curve taken on in thisc country
nay be compensation for the disappear
ance of the marks OF youth.
Unchanged is M. Plancon's black beard
by the passage OF the seasons. II 10 as inky
as on that day fifteen years ago when the
lamented Poujol, swelling with pride, dedi-
Gated himself to the care Of this famous
growth. Indeed. IL seems to rave grown
blacker just a did the famous beard OF
another famous bard.
Edouard de Reszke in spite Of time had the
pleasure OF Of witnessing the deeper sable
hue which every year settled or his beard.
As unaltersble and imperishable are pre-
served to his admirers the inky whiskers
Of the beloved basso.
Before Alfred Hertz had been in New York
long enough to speak good New Yorkese

best when the sketch was made and no
body need shoot on the conductor"
Mr.. Hertz's beard has a Teutonic blunt
ness and rigidity which might resist all the
art Of Poujol's successors il he ever SUBJ
mitted to their attentions. He has never
consented TO have the original intent OF
nature toward his beard seriously tempered
with. He will not allow it to become a mere
product Of art. Trimmed occasionally-oh,
yes; that. of course.
The deep secret OF Herr Hertz's animosity
TO the barber Is known to the men who
play under him. They obey his beard
rather than his baton.
When Herr Hertz cries ~Pianol' which
he very, very rarely does, the hairs of that
inspired beard hang like limp wistaria
vines in a December gale. When he yells
Forte" which is the diversion he loves best,
the wood winds are dilated to the bursting
point, the brasses blare, the instruments
Of percussion rumble at the loudest-not
because the players are watching Herr
Hertz's baton in the air, but because every
particular hair in his beard is standing on
end like the quilts Of the porcupine.
Herr Hertz allow his beard to grow as
IL wants to for the excellent effect it has on
the orchestra.

OPERAS NEW CARICATURIST.
SKETCHES or HIS COLLEAGUES
BY ROBERT BLASS.

Here Is the Herr Direktor Caught just as
a Fact was Penetrating His Aura-Ihe
Boards. OF PlancOn and Hertz rs Nat
ural as LIfe-TwO WaEnerian Noses.
Carusc has a rival as a ~caricaturist among
the singers at the Metropolitan Opera
House. This is Robert Blass, the solemn
young basso who sings G~uTneIndnz, Mark and
ALberich as il he never could shake of the
depressing influence Of such parts. He
manages to do il, however, and looks at
life with the humor so handsome a young
American gentleman should possess.
Mr.. Blass, in spite OF his name and his
German ~parentage, is quite American. He
never studied drawing or felt that he had
the talent to be even a house painter.
He did, however, discover that he could
very easily sketch with a few eloquent
lines the persons he knew, indicate their
most striking traits and exaggerate hui
morously their striking features. He has
done this in the pictures of his colleagues
reproduced here.
He has dared to draw the Herr Direktor
in n Of his most characteristic attitudes.
The sketch shows Mr.. Conried in a physical
pose which also denotes exactly a charac-
teristic mental attitude. Mr.. Conried's ex-
preston plainly says:
Il know already what you are telling me,
and il is one OF the facts OF this life with
which 1 am most familiar"
This is the declaration OF the augerlike
eye which Mr.. Conried has ixed on the
imaginary speaker. His face shows, how
ever, his eagerness TO hear what is being
old him, although he must make it plain
to the spectator that cosmos contains no
truth strange to him.
II was just this look that settled over the
impresario's features when he spoke OF
Edo in -Siegfried" and meant Erd' Any
how, he had three letters right out Of four,
and he had been an opera director only six
months. Mr.. Blass has caught the auger
eye and eager look Of knowledge just as
a fact penetrates the impresario's aura.

makes a good showing against universities
twioe and three times her size.
Football, the pet sport OF the colleges,
demands husky men, and 50 does rowing.
Can a university Of this size supply the de-
nan OF both?
There is no desire here to sacrifice foot
ball for any other sport, nor baseball for
that matter, either. The new rules adopted
by Princeton, that a student may be a MEM

take trips out of town, will make the prob

letes who play football and baseball arc

or the Triangle Club.
Still the spirit in which the lake was
given has TO be considered. Mr.. Carnegie
evinoed his interest in rowing by Offering
a trophy for the first crew that wins a race
over the course. 1t is suggested that
dormitory crews, such as are maintained
at Harvard, would afford an excellent way
of beginning. Then could come class
crews and finally the varsity boat.
Trainer Valentine Flood is in favor Of
having Princeton represented on the water.
But he, too, says wait a while"
Princeton appreciates the lake most
now because of the opportunity il offers
for hockey practice. In hockey Prince
ton has suffered a disadvantage by having
no fit place to practise. When the team
wanted TO polish up for an intercollegiate
match they had to scurry on to New York.

The sketch Of Enrioo Caruso differs from
the present appearance Of the tenor in that
one Of his ornaments Is missing. This 10
the mustache.
The tenor had to part with It because q
| careless valet burned of one end with the
crimping iron. Then there was nothing to
be lone to save it.
In vain was the other side trimmed down
to make il match. The result was a mus
tache entirely too small for such an ex-
pressive face az Signor Caruso's. So the
whole facial adornment had to 60.
He would have been compelled to sacrifice
the mustache in any case for 'Manon
Lescaut" and sAdrienne Lecouvreur,'
which are soon to Do performed at the
Metropolitan. The loss Of the mustache
was only made to happen a little earlier
than was expected.
The other adornment shown in the picture
remains in it's original brilEancy. Dia-
monds flash in the tenor's scarf, from his
fingers and from his cuff buttons; indeed,
from every part Of his wardrobe, ~effulgent
rays from his melodious person.
Signor Caruso always wears the ample
poke collar which opens TO allow his chin to
peek through the points. In this detail OF
dress he is very different from Alloys Burg
~staller, who Affects the very low collar
shown in the picture.
Herr Burgstaller Gomez from the noun
tains Of Bavaria and dresses himself always
in the fashion OF those high attitudes. barring
theg green Tyrolese breeches, which he dons
only for occasional masquersdes.
Herr Burgstaller and Mynherr Van Rooy
are intimate friends and IL is fortunate FOR
them both that they were not In the hearing
Of M. Plancon n the beautiful Nine.
Eames, who were singing In Romeo ct
Juliette.' Mime. Eames had approached
M. Plancon, who as Frere Laurent was to
give her his blessing in the cell scene. h
two stood together for a second.
Here" said NJ. Plancon, indicating him
self and Nine. Eames, ARE the two lowell
est noses in the opera company"
He could never rave said that with
justice to the NOSE Of either Herr Burg
staller or Mynherr Van Rooy, although It
must be admitted that Mynher Van Rooy's
nose looks better in full face than in profile.
One feels less inclined then to ask, DO you
see that hump"
As both singers appear only in the Wagner
operas, it is not really important what they
look like so long as they are tall and sturdy.
Plenty OF blond hair and draperies make
them look so well before the public that
nobody would suspect the truth OF Mr..
Blass's caricatures.

"BALLOONs" RUIN OYSTER BEDS.
Coast or Brittany Troubled by INVASION OF
Algm From the Deep Seas.

A new enemy OF the oyster has invaded
the beds about Morbihan. on the south coast
OF Brittany, and is giving the oyster growers
no end of trouble. 1t is a sea plant, one Of
the algse, known to science as Colpomenia
sinosa, which is little more thar microscopic
in it's native waters. II has long been known
In the vegetable life Of 1.-THE cooler parts Of the
Atlantic Ocean, but has never before been
detected along the Breton coast.
II is conjectured that some specimens
OF the plant became attached to the bottom
of some vessel and were thus carried close TO
the shore, where they became detached and
started to dew lop in a surprising way
The warmth along shore and the Shiny
and nutritious character Of the water in
the Gulf of Morbihan not only caused a
rapid spread Of the plant. but has also
caused u to increase r fly in sb7e.
It consists mainly Of capsules formed
OF greenish brown membrane. These when
first formed are extremely small but in
time grow TO the size Of a hem egg. They
are at first filed with water, but when the
tide sinks they empty themselves and at
once begin to suck in air until they are
tensely Inflated, justifying the name Of
balloons which the oystermen give them.
Now, when the tide rises again they not
only float themselves but they drag from
their muddy resting place the oysters TO
which they have attached themselves.
some OF tine Oysters are caTrleu OUT 10 sea
with the ebb. Others are piled on top of
each other. All are rendered useless. The
loss is serious.
The only remedy that seems to have
done any good so far is sweeping the oyster
beds vigorously at low water with bundles
OF thorny brooms. These burst and tear
the balloons 50 that they canno float and
they die before the tide turns again.
This plan, however, Ia expensive and IL
In no way strikes at the root Of the trouble.

ing the matter in the hope Of finding a
remedy. A winter Of great severity might

ARIZONA COMMERCIAL
Planning to Enlarge Its Opera tions at Property Near
 Globe.
0EVEL 0PMENT WORK
 WILL BE RUSHED

The Arizona Commercial Copper people have decided upon a broader and more aggressive operation of their business here. and to provide funds for etensive development and equipment or their properties, the directors have ordered that 10000 shares of the cap. ital stock be offered to stockholders at par--$25 per share. It is pretty well assured that the stock issue will be over subscribed.
 President N. L. Amster, on his re. turn to Boston said: The showing at tEe Arizona Comercial property has demonstrated beyond per adventure that we have a mine of large dimen. slons. We are in a position to ship 50 to 400 tons of siIicious, suIphide and Iron oxide ore per day, had we the transportation facilities. Immediate steps will be taken to get a larger out. put to the smelters and we shall probably build railroad spur from the main line to our mines. ... We have instructed Superintendent Sultan to increase the force of men and rush development work. We think that in si months time we shall have opened up the Copper Hill mine to the 8O0-foot level, have reached the Co chise mine from the Sd, 9th and Sth levels of the Coper Hill where the Budget fault and the Old Dominion lode intersect, and large ore body should be found: also open up the Black Hawk to depth of 600 feet ano drift and crosscut on the Sd, 4th and 9th levels. We should have 1000, 900 tons of ore in sight in six months or double our present tonnage" .>.
 Supt. W. s. Sultan states that a 150 horsepower boiler has been or. dered for the Copper Hill; also small electric plant for lighting the mine and surface works. All the levels are being connected by winzes for better air. The Black Hawk crosscut is ip 40 feet and the lead Is expected to be cut at 50 feet. The shaft is down 425 feet. The Copper Hill shaft will be down 500 feet before the end of the month. Its depth is now TO feet and in lime a most favorable indication for big ore at that depth.

The Globe Western company has been shipping ore from their mine near Glc1e. formerly the Cole & Good win. to the Old Dominion shelter since April 9 and epect to increase ship ments at an early date. A drift to the west is being run on the 100-foot lev el and drifting to the east is in prog ress on the 300-foot level, two shifts working in each opening on five-foot faces of ore, with no footwall exposed The ore from this mine is a high grade sulphide. carrying 10 to l5 pei cent copper, g per cent iron and g per cent sulphur. A new strike has been made on the same property 1700 feet from the shaft, on a paralle vein, and drifting on this lead will b' started there being an excellent chance of opening up good ore.

(sy Frank ]. 6raf.)

BISBEE, April 24.-Today's marke: has been practically at a standstill and while trading has been rather ac. tive there is not enough to cause any advance in prices. The buyers are willing to buy at their price and re. fuse to bid up. while the sellers refuse 10 come down. As the news from San Francisco is becoming known -fore attention will be paid to the markets as was shown today in the New York and Boston markets. As far as the local stocks are concerned, there is little change to be seen except that there are more offerings than there are buyers. The Bonanzas, especially are quiet. Calumet X Arizona holds at sl17, and seems begged there as the buyers refuse to bid her up. Calumet & Pittsburg holds at s26, with little offered under s26.50. Lake Superior & Pittsburg and Pittsburg & Duluth are both weak. Junction is not to be had under $25.25. efforts to buy at $25 being without avail. American is weak. being offered at SIP. with little demand. Warren continues strong at SIG bid, with little to be had under s16.50 and SIT. Cochise is being traded in at sG.50. there being considerable to bt had at that price. Butte-London was in demand at s2.62. Butte Coalition weakened, being of fered at s3s.

SPECIMENS
Fred Bernoudy Refuses to Car y Them Around for Par
 adise People,
SAMPLES WORTH
 DOLLAR PER POUND.

The Paradise Record man asked Fred G. Bernoudy of 1t were true that he had refused to give away anv more samples of rich ore from bis strike. No, 1t is no true" said hs
 put l drew the line when reouestad 10 bring specimens from the mina down town for every one who desired them. All who come to the mine and ask for specimens will get them nro' vlded such requests are reasonable :, when Il Is remembered that most of the specimens run at least sl a pound It will be understood how generous Mir. Bernoudy is. For during the mast month he has given away Considerable more than $100, in all probability, in specimens.
 On the Bernoudy property a larger ore body was uncovered Tuesday. Whether this Is & new vein or only q part of the old one can not be def nitely determined until the vein has been farther uncovered. So far it seems to be a new one crossing the other at an angle of about 60 degrees. Its width apears to be from two tc three feet. Mir. Bernoudy Is of the opinion that, while the new ore body is probably larger. the values car. ried are not quite so high. But the assay returns from samples of this ore have not yet been received The new ore is known as a sand carbon ate.
 Whatever the new vein proves to be. the old one continues about the same as when first struck. A suffi Cianf aP mt nf ;. down daily to more taan pay expenses and the outlook for the property at this time is most encouraging.
 After driving a tunnel in a norther. ly direction 35 feet, the direction was changed to the east, following the in- cications of ore. Here the first vein was struck. At the present time the work has reached a point 72 feet in a broken line, from the mouth of the tunnel. Recently a night shift was put on the force now numbering five men. Work on this property will con. tinue to be pushed with vigor.
