There was a story told of one of the worlds great vocalists-- singing as q young girl at private house. She was overwhelmed with praise. By and by says the London News, she came and sat by an elderly lady, who congratu lated her on the way she had sang but ventured to offer one or two sugges tions. The young singer treated the hints with scorn and afterward asked the hostess who 'the old lady" was who had dared to give her suggestions "Oh, that was Mme Goldschmidt," re- piled the lady. And who Is Mime GoldschmidtY' was the next impatient query. Well, she's better known as Jenny Lind." said the hostess.

Fra Diavolo was the nickname given Michele Pezza, celebrated renegade monk and Italian brigand, who was born in 176O. It should be noted that De opera of Auber has nothing in con- non with Fra Diavolo but the name. Pezza was first a stocking weaver, hen soldier in the Neapolitan army, ben soldier in the pope's service, and lnally he became monk, but was ex- (eled. In the mountains of Calabria

PROGRESS
President Remick of Rhyolite Com-
pany, Which Drilled First Well,
Stands by Early Statements
Concerning Deposits

Fred Remick, head of the Rhyolite
New, syndicate which has put down the
only we'll in the Virgin river oil district
of Utah, reached Los Angeles yesterday
and called on Mayor Harper to exhibit
samples of the oil brought from his com
pany's well.
This we'll is about two miles northeast
of Virgin postoffice.
Remick brought photographs showing
the well rig and a pump hole near by
into which 100 barrels of oil had been
pumped. The pump is now shut down
because there is no way of getting the oil
out of the district at present.
C. H. Wilcox of Los Angeles, an oil
expert of twenty years experience, re-
turned with Remick. He has charge of
the drilling. He says the oil has a paraf-
fine basis and runs about 80 cents.
Both men repeat all their previous
statements. They will move their drill
from time to time and prospect on new
places on their holdings.

the field who came and went" said
Remick. Horses can be had at a reason
