A BIG ORE FIND
NEAR AMASA
1T IS CLAIMED That I20 FEET or
ORE WAS CUT BY DRILL.
SOME ENCOURAGEMENT FOUND
Drill is Located on Section rs. ~ 80
and is Operated by The Shsnango
Iron Company.

Y A big find Of ore is reported from the
nalf- way farm, midway between here
and Amasa in this district Those
who claim 10 have positive informs.
tion, say that 100 feet have been cut
but those in charge OF the drilling
claim that they have given ont no
information and refuse 20 have any
thing 10 say about the find.
The drill Is operated by Cole a. Nc.
Donald. for the Shenango Iron com
pany and the exploratory work is under
the direction OF Mr. Person. VINO has
been exploring for these people in this
district for nearly two years ~ far
with no success
10 Is agreed on all sides that ore or
a very rich ore formation has been cut
bat whether or no the amount Of ore
stated has been met with cannot be
stated with any assurance OF it's an.
thenticity from those in command
The exploration is along the range OF
the formation which runs northw west
from this city 20 the Hemlock river
and Of which the Hemlock mine is at
present the most northeriy body and
really the only one The Michigan and
Gibson explorations are opened along
this formation and some finds have
been reported closer 70 this city. The
Michigan has not paned ont we'll 30 far
and the Gibson is closed down but has
recently been taken over by strong
independent interest that intends open
ing IL very shortly
Those conversant with the run Of the
ore formations IN this district main.
tain that several bodies of ore will be
opened along this rnn Of formation
when exploration gets nnder way in
systematized manner.
Supt. Pearson, of the exploration.
was in Crystal Falls on his way from
Duluth on Thursday but would have
nothing say about the prospects and
denied that any ore had been found
However. he didn't act like one down
east over failures
II IL learned that two holes have
been put down, both of them cutting
ore or ore formation and that the drill
is being moved now 100 feet further
along 80 as TO prove mp the formation
at another point
II this rumor proves 10 le correct

district, the Hemiock formation. and

There is moderately heavy surface
over the ledge varying from 10 TO 70

this fact has kept explorers out OF this
region but the recent finds over on the

yolutionized exploring in the county

of this special meeting being demon
stration OF the enlargement upon bro
mide paper. in the new enlargLng room
which has recently been added 10 the
facilities of the club. The demonstration
was ia charge OF Z. +. Richards. who
has been largely instrumental in secur-
ing this much needed Improvement.
The enlarging room is fitted with an
arc light of high power, and the work
shelf contains a slidlng easel Large
tanks have been installed conveniently

vide for the washing OF brOmides Of
large size and space heretofore unuti-
lized has been transformed into a dark

than was possible when bromide en-
largemeEts II made at the club rooms

CortissOz, Interesting Article.

Royal Cortissoz. the art critic of the
New York Tribune. who Is scheduled
to address the National Society Of the
Fine Arts in this city on November Is,
has an interesting article in the At
lantic Monthly for November on The
Present State of European Painting"
Mr. Cortissoz seems to be in accord
with the views of Prof Raymond, who
is now engaged in a series OF lectures
at the George Washington University
Apparently both of these eminent au-
thorities believe that European art is I'm
its decadent stage. Mr. Cortissoz af-
firms that the majority of the painters
Of Paris are clever technicians, and
that their work every year is becoming
more tricky, eccentric. and violent. OF
the English painters the author states
that without the works of Sargent the
recent exhibition of the Royal Academy
would be insuherable bores. The paint
ings are immeRse canvases. lacking any
dominant sentiment OF interest. The
portraits are gaudy and pompous, the
landscapes commonplace, and the cred
liable works are completely Overshad-
owed by the masses of mediocre work

PLAYs mar FARNED MILLIONS.

Good old Rip Van Winkle." said a
stage manager, holds the record as a
moneymaker among modern plays. Rip
has earned down TO date something
over &, 100000.
when 'ETminie' was first produced in
London # was a total failure. But Ru-
dolph AronsOn saw the possibilities OF
the pretty and graceful opera. he Sc
cured the American rights, he engaged
Francis Wilson. Marie Jansen and
Pauline Hall for the leading roles, and
he produced 'ETminie' superbly. The re-
suit was that this opera. which had
been pronou.~ed worthless, was acted
T. 500 times and earned 100000.
Kate Claxton played The Two Or
phans' $500 times. making 100000 out
Of the play.
"Denman Thompson. when he wrote
The Old Homestead. little thought
that his wholesome drama would earn
81 O00. 000 In twelve years. Yet those are
the authenticated figures.
DE Koyen's Robin Hood and Jones
Silver King have each earned 5000, coo.
and still bring IN royalties TO their happy
authors
Among recent successes the greatest
is Pinero's House in Order This play
was put on at the s.. James theater last
February, and run steadily through the
summer. it earned at the St. James
81 l00, O00, and its provincial and Amer
lean runs are still to be heard from. -

which he would arrange his art collec-
tiOn, which has never been entirely
brought TO this country on account Of
the excessive duties. BY making the
collection public museum he could
evade the duties. Within the last week
has come the rumOr that three noted
art collections of Philadelphia-that OF
john G. Johnson. p. A 3. Widener.
and William l. Elkins are TO be cen
solidated and to become the property
OF the city of Philadelphia. provided
that the city furnishes a site for an
art museum In Fair:nont Park. and
the funds fer the erection Of a suitable
building can be secured. If this is ac-
complished. and these three famous col
lections are consolidated. then the city
OF Philadelphia Will possess the great
est collection of this country. The sug-
gestiOn thaL Mr.. Widener proposed the
donation OF his collection a.,
scum now in Fairmont Park WAS d.=
cussed by the press some time ago, but
the matter seemed TO end with the
newspaper discussion. 1t may be that
SIS in the case of the Freer donation
Of art objects 10 the Smithsonian In
stitution. the actual transfer OF the pic
lures Will be delayed until after the
death OF the respective donors.
II has been estimated that the works
of art in the three collections number
about $500 and include some !. 200 paint
ings which were executed prior TO the
year $500, In the list OF painters rep
