At the Checkmate tunnel in Apex they
are still drifting. The tunnel is now in
distance OF about 500 feet. This will
be continued for some time yet as the
company is opening up large amount Of
developing ground. They have nice
streak OF ore in the breast of the tunnel
which shows some very hattering assays.
Only the necessary amount OF this ore
to keep the workings from being blocked
is being shipped, but after the lateral is
driven some distance farther regular
shipments will be made. In the mean.

Sadie Raymond and strong support
ing company will present THE Missouri

actress of unusual merit and has done a
great deal towards making "The Mis-
souri, Girl" the popular play it is today.
She stands without rival as charac-
ter soubrette, possessing fine singing
voice, good looks and charming manner
that have won for her an enviable repu-

songs and the way she sings them, never
fail to bring forth rounds Of applause.
That Sadie Raymond is star OF the
