'The Cow-Puncher which plays a
one-night engagement at the opera
house Sunday evening, December 18th,
is from the pen of that well known
author, Hal Reid. The play deals with
life on a western ranch in Arizona.
The characters are taken from life.
Mr.. Mann, the producer, has spared no
expense in the production of the play.
The scenery was painted from sketches
made by Mr.. Buhler, one of the best
known artists in the country last sum-
mer during an eight weeks trip through
Arizona and Mexico. The cast has been
picked from the best players available,
and we are assured that 1.-THE Cow
puncher" is one of the best plays that
will visit us this season.

RussIans Worked kiondi<e :.

The discovery of early Russian working in the klondike was made Tn dramatic way. A short dis covery claim on Hunter creek--- chief tributary of the Klondike--a number of miners were working a lay.
 When the ground was opened a couple of feet, the miners came across traces of an old tunnel. At first they paid little attention. as in the early days of the country in 1897 to 1899, all kinds of tunnels were dug and then abandoned by a certain class of inexperienced newcomers, who expected to find gold in millions for few days labor. But as the miners wen, deeper, they saw that this tunnel could not be the digg;ngs of so recent period. The timbcrs that shored the walls were oId and rot ted, the tunnel looked as if it had not been worked for a ccrtury.
 At the end there were signs of 3 tragedy, The bones of couple of men were found past caye-in which had evidently imprisoned them beyond all rescue, and OR their legs there still cIung the heavy nanacles with which Rus sia in the old days hoDblod her political prisoners. The men had died miserabIy because of the cave in, and for some reason never to bc known were not rescued. The iron on their legs had apparently hindered their movements, for the situation would not have been des- perate to q modern miner, ro.sess- ing freedom of movement. Beside them, were their century-o.d picks. heavy, biunted and inefficient in- struments. The remains were pecliuijy buried anu the instru- mcnts anJ leg irons were saved. and will D" 6 portion oi the Rus sIan exhibit in the Alaska building of the Alaska Iukon-Pacihc Ex- position.
