Oil Field Notes.

|. In conversation with Mr..
Brown, who has charge of the
drilling of the we'll for the Pace
Oil Company, Limited, we
gathered the information that
everything is moving off satisfac-
torily, that the we'll is now some
thing over two hundred feet deep.
He is very much impressed with
the surface and other indications
there. He has drilled wells in
nearly all the Texas OIL fields as
we'll as California. Visitors to
the fields are numerous and from
all parts of the country, several
from st. Louis and other places
visited the scene of operations
during the past ten days. Con-
siderable interest has been arous-
ed since operations have been
renewed.

They Stick Together.

Our people will stick together
when they find that 1T is for the
benefit of the town. This was
clearly demonstrated when it was
known that the sum of ten thou
sand dollars was necessary to
secure the right of way and ter
minals for the fremont & Gulf
Railroad. Nearly every one APP
preached signed the guarantee
that the money would be forth
coming. 1t sometimes takes con-
siderable time to get our citizens
interested but when once con-
WINGED there is not a more united
and enthusiastic citizenship in
the State.

"The County Chairman" appeals es-

The production is happy departure
from the other AIDE offerings. It is a
plain everyday story Of an election for

BUOU-'tArizona"

Much Of the interest attached to the
engagement at the Bijou of Augustus
Thomas play, "Arizona" is due to
the fact that since its former road
tour 1t has been made larger and
more expensive production in every
way. Last spring, Manager Hollis
Cooley produced it at the Academy of
Music, New York, where it played an
engagement Of $50 nights. Due to the
large stage Of that theater, Mr.. Cooley
put "Arizona0 on in a massive way,
and the production intact as given
during this New York run will be
brought to the Bijou for weeks en-
gagement commencing today at $3.50
pm, and including the regular
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
Arizona,' as the name would in
dictate, is stage-told story Of the
lives and loves of men and women liv-
ing in the picturesque section Of our
national domain which is now knock
ing at the door Of congress with the
demand for the dignities Of statehood.
The characters are typical Of the stur-
dy civilization of a new country.
Candy, splendid old ranchman, who
dominates the Aravaipa Valley; his
kind-hearted, but peppery-tempered
wife; their two beautiful daughters,
children Of the plains, veneered with
San Francisco culture; the officers and
soldiers of frontier cavalry post
these are the principal types that move
and live in a play said to be one of
the best contributions to the Ameri-
can stage.
The scenes are on a ranch close to
the Mexican border and Fort Grant,
one Of the United States military
posts, established primarily to keep
the Indians in passive condition. The
dramatic motive is simple, and the
complications, which lead to the de-
nouement, rational. The young wife of
a colonel, many years her senior, be
ing wearied to the point Of despair by
her lonely life, has passing spasm of
romance and is on the verge Of elope-
ment with villain, when the young
lover Of. her sister foils the plan, but
at such critical moment that he must
himself bear the burden Of suspicion
5r reveal the wife's frai1ty to her hus-
band, who has been to him as father.
With genuine manliness he chooses to

tiles are confined to campaigns; the
village schoolteacher and milliner in
pleasing work, and all the other village
types that serve to make merry an ex-
cellent comedy and that are so real to
life that their actions are bound to
carry many memories back to such in
cidents and situations Of their own
lives.
Not little is added to the enjoy
ment of the play by an old minstrel as
Sassafras Livingston, the "local touch
Of color,' who names his baby after
each candidate, and after several 9th
ers, only to be discovered with the Sc
cret that the baby is girl. Mr..
Thatcher, who enacts the role, has long
been before the public as an entertain

No bigger production of comedy has

ORPHEUM-Modern Vaudeville

Even the intelligent equine is invad-
ing vaudeville, and all the vaudeville
world has taken to talking about Luigi
Rossi's musical horse, "Emir,' whose
performance will be the headline fea-
ture at the Orpheum theater this week.
Whether or not the big black Cossack
stallion possesses bona fde sense of
music, tone or pitch, he plays melodies
on especially constructed instruments,
and plays them in perfect time and
tune. He even dances out a melody
with bells attached to his feet, and is
probably the only equine in the world
who successfully blows his own horn.
"Emir' is described as wonder
fully intelligent animal who bows his
appreciation of the applause showered
upon him and smiles in pleased sort
Of way, exhibiting as fine double row
of teeth as ever munched a cob. The
act has caused much comment wherever
seen and is in such great demand !, in
Europe as to make the engagement in
this country limited one.
Another feature will be the seventeen
Pekin Zouaves, the crack drill corps of
the world, whose evolutions, perfection
in their original manual of arms and
second-consuming scaling Of an eighteen
foot wall gives them hurricane act
that carries all before it.

Clubman and the Dancing Girls, will
be presented by ]. Francis Dooley, Dor
othy Bremen and Ethyl Rose, all Of
the nimble-footed variety, while Arthur
Deming, dean Of dozen minstrel col.
leges, will hold forth in some black
face merrymaking in which he laughs
best who laughs last, but nearly every.
body. laughs all the time. 81.

acrobatic and vocal efforts Of Lucy &
