The Walker River Indian Reserva-
ton is sixty miles long and twenty
miles wide, with Walker Lake in the
center and a mineral belt from four
to six miles wide on the east and west
sides of the lake
The mineral zones run northwesterly
and southeaster1y, the predominatinS
minerals being gold, silver, copper and
lead. The principal mineral zones are
on Dutchman, Rose and Cottonwood
creeks on the west side and~the GlliiS
range on the east The rush to the
reservation is from the south, where
Hawthorne is the chief Quitting point
Water is plentiful for all purposes,
both mining and milling. Timber is
right at hand, as most of the ranges
are covered with pinenut trees
The richness of the vast mineral
belt is unknown, and it won't be known
until the reservation has been thor
oughIy prospected. 1t is likely that
the richness OF the mines located will
not be given out before the expiration
of three months, as 1t Will take that
length OF time to prove up on the

PEGGY FROM
PARIS IS HERE
AND VERY WELCOME IS PEGGY,
TOO, BY ALL
CleVerer Than Ever, with Better
Company and New Features, 1t Is
an Attractive and Delightful
Musical Melange

I Peggy from Paris" came to Los
Angeles yesterday and put up at the
Mason for a week. And if Paris has
any more Peggies at home like her,
| whatever be their names, she may
send them over; they will be very well
come.
Peggy was here last year-a Peggy.
But not this one. Make no mistake
about that. This Peggy is a new, i'm
proved edition, bound in vellum, with
uncut edges, veritable de luxe Peggy,
whom all Los Angeles will be pleased
with. Not all were satisfied with her
year ago-but that's all past now.
The fact is that this AIDE musical
comedy missed it's mark from the be-
ginning just because Ade wouldn't in
Ject into 1t the one thing that made
Ade famous-his picturesque slang.
True, there was one character who af-
| fected the patoiS of the streets-Hickey,
kdepicted by Arthur DEACON. But he
had only a "bit" and this was sup
| pressed as much as possible; Ade was
ashamed of it.
and Madison Corey took hold of it. He
gave DEACON his head, told him to
| show what he could do, and got some
new music that is bright and catchy,
put in a good bunch of girls and started
out to make Peggy a hit. There
were symptoms of all this last season;
this year the plans have reached frui-
tion, and DEACON is coming into his
| own. He is now the real star of a
real musical comedy, and the more he
| is on the stage the better it is.
Peggy still maintains a speaking ac-
quaintance with her former self; that's
| about all. But all the changes have
been for the better. The chorus has
been given more to do, and it is a real

TUNED Up to the minute and is lively

and that chorus, Chopin's Funeral

Eplalie Jansen, who Is Peggy in pro-
pria person, is not much as a vocalist;
she would never have set the Seine on
fire. But she has good looks and doesn't

Martin and Olivette Haynes as Lutte
and Sophie Blatz are good; and Irma
Croft as Lily Ann Lynch is splendid;
she plays right up to DEACON and is
thoroughly all right. Percy Bronson
is still the college boy and the other
roles are in good hands. The stage
settings and costumes are bright, new
and plentifully endowed with beauty.
It's good show.
On Thursday night, when Carmen"
will be repeated, Domenico Russo, the
popular Los Angeles tenor, will sing
the role of Jose.
Changes to lighter operas will be

"CARMEN" IS SAVED
FROM DISMAL FAILURE
BY ANT0LA ALONE

Antola, the fine baritone of the
Lambardi company, rescued last
nights offering of Carmen" at the
Auditorium from banality. But even
he could not drag 1t into any degree
of success.
This is hard to say, for much was

Campofiore. the Carmen of whom
so much had been boasted and from
whom so much was expected, proved
very unsatisfactory. She misuses her
voice terribly She mouths her tones,

shamefully. She has been coached
strenuously for week in this part .

Dramatic Notes

The Burbank company has under
consideration a fine production of "As
You Like It," with Maude Gilbert in
the role of Rosalind. Miss Gilbert is
so very clever in parts calling for the
doublet and hose and fills them SO we'll
withall-as demonstrated by her
Hughette in IF 1 Were King"-that t
there has come a general demand for
her in the Rosalind role. 1t is expected,
if this is carried out, that Charlie Eyton
will appear as Charles, the Wrestler,
which would be sure to make a hit with
his athletic friends.
Klaw & Erlangnrs production of
Frank Pixley and Gustave Luders'
new musical comedy. 1.-The Grand Mo-
gull" will be presented on the stage
for the first time at the Lyceum the
ater in Rochester Monday evening.
Mr.. Plxley has read portions of the
libretto to Los Angeles friends, who
are loud in its praise.
George Barnum and his scenic artists
will go to San Gabriel today to make
their sketches for the coming produc-
ton of Captain Courtesy" which will
be given next week. The scenes of the
play are laid in and around the old
mission and every attempt will be made
to have them absolutely true and per-
fectly natural.
Frank Blair has gone east to see
about singers for E. A. Fischer's pro-
posed musical stock company, which
he believes will open in the Hotchkiss
January Z. Meanwhile c. f. Hamilton,
who claims the same theater for the
same time, is saving wood and saying
nothing.
The Schubert, Belasco and other in
dependent theaters have discontinued
advertisements in the New York Tele-
graph because of its pro-syndicate
bias. The Telegraph is getting even
by roasting their shows.
The Howard-Hamilton company will
stick to comedy and farce hereafter.
It's incursion into rlelodrama was not
success. the company having been
formed for comedy purposes only. It's
wise.

AT THE 0RPHEUM

One of the best bills of the season

numbers, both instrumental and vocal,
might not be to their taste; but in
asmuch as all such numbers are par

was not noticeable even to those who
might prefer attractions of different

and each has a voice that is quite
pleasing.
musical instrument that Vasco, "the
mad musician" did not play Vasco

even a greater attraction should he

he undoubtedly is, rather than attempt

wrong in his head"

1t Is worth all it's cost; if comparisons
be not odious, it is better than the one
in the original. The action is ex-
tremely noisy, yet accurate; the leaders
are well trained, the messenger boys
are properly blase and the whole has
the right atmospheric touch.
In fact, the entire production is dis
tinctively a heavy one, elaborate to
the final degree, and is a great credit
to any company, let alone stock or
ganization which could devote only one
week to it's preparation.

work is marred. Lombardi substituted
for Canetti and did only fairly, as

same class.
Save and alone Antola; he was ex-
cellent. He was a real toreador, just
as far as the rest would permit. His
voice was in good condition, and he
used it excellently. He alone was
really worth while.
