The Richard Hardware Co.
IS GOOD SHOW
AT The BUTLER

One of the neatest pieces yet put
on at the Butler was pulled off last
night, and the players in "Fads and
Fancies" made hit. Eddie O'Brien
and his songs were fine. Billy Ons-
low is always good and is now at his
best. Fred Il. Griffiths had good
part, and with Helen Douglass and
Lottie Darragh all went well and it
is one of the best yet seen. The
chorus work was up to its standard
as usual and the motion pictures
were very good, as Spud Murphy
rustled new films regardless of the
trains.

INSPECTING FAIRvIEW MILL.
Grinding Away ON the Ore From Fa-
nous Round Mountain Mine.

Grinding Away ON the Ore From Fa-
nous Round Mountain Mine.
The Fairview Round Mountain
Mines Company mill is still grinding
away on ore from that now famous
mine. President Reece Wampler and
Vice-President A. T. Spencer are both
here again and Mr.. Wampler yester-
day gave out the statement that the
mill run to the present time showed
an average value for the ore treated
of better than $40 to the ton. As
President Wampler stated, whole
lot of the ore will give assay values
up into the hundreds, but conditions
are such at the present time that
great deal of low grade ore is being
milled-ore that will go no better in
some cases than three or four dollars
ton-thus reducing the average of
the total mill run to the figure named
Later, Mr.. Wampler states, more of
the higher grade of ore will be mined
and the average will be raised. Even
the average of $40 a ton is mighty
good showing for two months run
from mine only recently opened.
At the Fairview mine the work of
getting out the ore continues with the
same activity which has always char
acterized the Fairview officers as
mining men of thoroughness and
ability. The raise which has been
run on the ore body from the tunnel
level In the south drift, has reached
the surface and values have not
diminished to any extent. Connec-
lions have been made with the vari-
Gus workings and now the entire
mine is exceptionally well ventilated.
Secretary H. j. McGhan is expected
in Round Mountain within the next
few days and onchis arrival the Off
GERS of the Fairview company will go
over matters pertaining to mine and
mill management together and de-
eide on their future campaign of de-
velopment. A new mill to be erected
on the Fairview property is one of
the probabilities of the near future
as well as power hoist, which the
company expects soon to INSTALL
Round Mountain Nugget.

Wind DAMAGES
The APPLE CROP

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. IA
high wind today swooped down on
the Yucaipa Valley. the famous apple
country, fourteen miles southeast of
this city, and totally ruined the crop.
Tons of apples were stripped from
the trees and lie on the ground to
spoil. Apples were hardly matured
when the blow came. Yucaipa Val
ley supplies large part of southern
California with apples.

of rare facial excellence, while
her gowns were bordering on the
