The Awakening OF Mr. Pipp" as
presented at the opera house satur-
day night, is one of the brightest
musical comedies that has even been
produced at that house In its treat
ment, the production is rather DIFF
ferent from the ordinary musical
comedy, and indeed. II would not
properly belong in that ciass 1t is
rather farcical play with musical in
terruptions There Is Il chorus, quite
the usual size. but II is not dragged
on every few minutes. The princi-
pals do the greater part of the work
and the chorus is merely incidental
to the piece During the entire sec
ond act. only three people are on the
stage. This act Is the artistic part of
the production, and MIR. Charley
Grapewin does some really clever
work In the scene. The act all
through is typical of the morning
after" when In the cold, gray
dawn" one spells remorse In capital
letters. Only in this scene, the cold
gray dawn is changed to a flood of
sunlight that bathes the room in
which Mr.. Pipp awakes, after a night
spent in imbiblng champagne. 1t is
b u. m, Win the mllkluan ringing
at the front door. Mr.. Pipp Is In bed
with his trousers on. and his other
various articles of dress disposed
about the room in such convenient
places as on the chandelier and in
the water pitcher. The picture is
complete in every detail. and Mr..
Grapewin as the central figure, no
doubt calls to mind many a morn
ing after" when one thinks, as Mr..
Pipp says, that the man who invented
ice water was pretty good fellow.
There are a whole string of people
in the cast, and Messrs. Wells, Dunno
and Harlan have mounted the piece
IN an elaborate manner. 1t has in it
all the dash and go of musical
comedy with something added that
is a little more substantial

was at random, and he decided to cross
cut to the north. Had he gone to the
south, he would have had the rich vein
within ten feet.
Ed Mulcoy and Jack Stinson are the
boys who in the interests of the COM
pany, found this wonderful ledge.
Mulcoy took lease No. 3 on the Iron
King of the Cowboy company last
February, and has been conscientiously
at work ever since. Stinson was put
on the surface last week, and found the
ledge after few days work. Mulcoy,
who was at work on the lease, told
Stinson he knew this ledge cut through
the ground along there, but was unable
to find it. The company put Mulcoy at
work with Stinson, and together they
are rapidly opening up the vein.
Another shift will be put on at once,
and sinking pushed ahead rapidly.
The tunnel on the Gregory group of
the Manhattan Nevada Gold Mines Com
pany at Central is showing up fine. Ore
has been exposed in the face of the tun-
mel and in the face of the drifts, which
are being run from the tunnel in both
directions. The ore in each place is of
a good milling grade, and pans well,
and there are large quantities of it.
The predictions of mining men to the
effect that if mine is to be found in
that section of the district, it would be
in the Gregory Hill, are rapidly coming
true, for the property is certainly
making a record for itself. Assays
have been obtained as high as $4S per
ton in gold.
Two shifts will at once be put to
work on the Gregory tunnel, and il
will be run forward with all possible
speed, cutting all the ore bodies in the
hill. AS fast as favorable veins ar,
encountered, new men will be put t,
work to drift in each direction. In fac
