"Are You a Mason ?"

The story of Are You a Mason" is
one of the most laughable ever utiliz-
ed as the ground work for a modern
comedy
Leo Dietrichstein has undoubtedly
made in this adaptation from the Ger
man the most successful farce come
dy ever seen on the American stage.
Although it has been played constant
ly in this country for the past five
years to ever increasing business its
theme is as new and as laughable
as it was when first produced.
II is one of the plays that never
grow old and which never lose their
hold on the theatre-going public. If
it is more popular today than
ever before 1t is certainly drawing
larger audiences than il ever has in
the past. The company engaged is
the most capable ever seen in this
play and the production is in every
way adequate.

Last Nights Play

College plays are said to be popular
this year The playwrights have seen
in this field an untrampled path and
they are making some good use of it
-StrOngheart" which was presented
last night at the opera house is one
of the best college plays of the season,
in fact, is one of the best plays seen
in Pensacola this season, or any other
season, for that matter.
The play tells the story of
an Indian student at one OF
the big universities at which he is
a great favorite with his mates, es-
pecially the football enthusiasts
While there he falls in love and wins
the love of the sister of a claSSmate
She has agreed to be his wife when
he learns of his fathers death He
must leave her then to go back to
his people to fill his fathers place
among them as their chief. The play
has sad ending. for hero and heroine
do not Tive happy forever after" but
they say good bye as the last curtain
falls upon the despair of the lovers
Mr.. Bdeson is an ideal Indian He
is not only good actor, but he has
a part in this play which seems to
fit him like a kid glove. After the
third act he was recalled a number
OF times and finally responded with
a very jovial speech
There Is whole lot of nice. clean,
wholesome fun all the way through
and not exactly of the kind usually
seen in the modern drama The en-
tire company is clever.

DURING the past few weeks quite a
number of cases of sickness,
principally fever, have developed in
Clifton. Various reasons are given
as to it's cause. Some are of the
opinion that the sickness is caused by
impure water, some say it is the I'M
sanitary conditions, and others lay it
to flies. 1t is a fact that sanitary
conditions are poor and possibly has
more to do with the fever than any
thing else. The flies are bad and the
doctors are of the opinion that these
two theories are the cause of the
most of the fever. No particular
part of Clifton is favored with the
disease as some patients come from
the most sanitary portions of Clifton.
The water is reported to be the cause
of some of the fever, but sew
eral cases have occurred in in
stances where the parties have used
nothing but boiled or distilled water.
However, it will be good idea for
the Water company to have its tanks
cleaned and take every precaution
against impurities. The weather
during the past two weeks, cool
nights and warm days, has been es-
pecially favorable to create sickness.
So far this season very few deaths
have occurred from typhoid fever
and the doctors seem 10 handle it
much more satisfactorily than in
mast wears

IT Is quite impossible to hold d
good camp down and since the cop
per situation has retreated- behind a
cloud of darkness, several gold and
silver strikes have been made in the
Clifton Morenci district, which
promise to furnish sunshine forever
more. Residents of Clifton will live
to see the day when this district will
not only be known as copper pro-
Queer alone, but great gold and sill
yer producer as well. In early days
this district was worked for its
precious metals alone, but copper be-
came such a favGrite that gold and
silver took back seat and for long
time has assumed the position of the
unknown. A few more propositions
like the ores recently discovered by
Bacon & Langerman, the Gold Belt
and the New York-Arizona will be
sufficient to attract attention to
other than copper mining.

THE SHANNON OUTPUT.

The GU tput of the Shannon Copper
company for September was not quite
what was expected, the tonnage
being cut short on account of numer-
GUS delays in getting the new furnace
started. 1t was 1,O6O,OOO pounds of
Bessemer copper, representing a run
of scant % days. Since the first
of October things have been moving
rapidly and there is every reason to
believe that a handsome Increase
will be made this week. The small
furnace is about repai ed and with
the three furnaces in operation, re-
presenting about 1900 tons daily
capacity, gives an idea of about
what can be expected. The ore sup
ply is good and a rather healthy sup
ply of fuel is on hand.

DURING the past. ten days several
surveyors have been busy with their
instruments drawing a focus on Chase
Creek. The surveyors are not saying
much but it is surmised that they are
taking measurements of the creek,
which will be used at the trial be-
tween the Chase Creek people and
the d. C. company, which is set for
the next term of court. They now
appear to be about completed with
their work. 1t would seem that the
d. C. people are beginning to take
an interest in the case, judging from
the way they are getting busy at the
last moment. The Chase Creek peo-
pie have a just reason for asking
damages, and the d. c.. company will
no doubt have a hard fight to show
that the breaking of its dam was
not responsible tor it. The case was
carried over from the last term of
court and it is to be hoped that it
will be tried at the next term, which
commences the 28th of October.

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

The copper market is improving
slightly. Prices are being main
tanned at 154 cents per pound for
lake, and ID cents for electrolytic.
Although practically all of the re-
cent buying has been for immediate
delivery, consumers thinking it bet
ter to pursue the ''hand to mouth"
policy for the present, the mining
companies have actually sold more
copper during the past three weeks
than they have produced. One of
the largest producing interests says
that his companies will clean up
every pound of their surplus accumu
lation in sixty days, provided the
market continues as good as it has
been for a few weeks past. He
thinks there is likely to be still fur
Their Improvement.
One of the largest consumers in
the trade says he is satisfied that the
price of copper is on the bottom.
He is impressed by the very large cur
tailment of production and feels sure
market. Sentiment in the trade is
very much improved. He thinks con-
sumers are quite well satisfied that
the present price will be maintained.
While business has not increased
materially as yet, he thinks an easier
money market will bring in lot of
new orders.
The production of the Butte dis
trict, which nominally is 28,000,00
pounds monthly, oply Slightly exceed
ed IL, 100000 pounds in September.
The output of the Bisbee district has
been reduced considerably already,
and this month will be only about
one-half what it was in June and
July. Several furnaces have been
closed down and more than 1000 men
laid off by the Greene company at
Cananea. The custom smelters
everywhere are reducing their treat
ment of ores. The Osceola and other
Bigelow mines at Lake Superior are
curtailing their output. Two or
three mines are closed down In Uta b.
The voluntary reduction, together
with that forced by fuel shortage and
labor troubles, Is believed to aggre
gate fully 20 per cent. of the worlds
normal production.

A Wreck on the Coronado.

On Tuesday about noon d wreck
occurred on the Coronado railroad in
the vicinity of Longfellow. The
mixed passenger and the Shannon
ore train collided. The trains had
orders to meet at Longfellow, but the
air would not work on the ore train,
which arrived at the passing point
before the other train could get into
throttle of the mixed train and
Henry Miller was at the throttle of
the ore train. The engine was back
ing down with the ore train and the
tender was pushed clear over the top
of the passenger engine. The en-
gineers and firemen jumped and saved
their lives, but they were more or
less bruised up. Aside from damage
to the locomotives no harm was done
The accident appears to have been
unavoidable as the grade was steep
and the ore train was heavy one
Ore trains get away on the Coronado
road occasionally when the air does
not work properly, but this is the
first time two trains have gone to-
gether.
Traffic was delayed on the road the
remainder of the day and the wreck
was cleared in time for trains next
day.

MINES AND MINING.

The new wagon road, leading from
the main road to the Bacon & LANCE
man silver claims this side OF Mo-
renci, was completed yesterday. 1t
cost the boys quite little sum, but
will do away with the expense of
packing the ore on burros from the
mines to the main road. Regular
shipments are being made to the
Shannon and Douglas smelters. Up
to the present date two carloads have
been shipped to Douglas and quite
good deal to the Shannon. The pres
ent output can be increased consider
ably, now that the wagons can load
up at the mines. The ore body is
still looking well and the boys do
not yet know how big the strike
really is. They are operating on
their own capital, hence are not CIV
ing much for publication. When the
property is really developed more
definite information can be given.
Reports are to the effect that the
proposition will be a handsome one
for the parties interested.

NEW YORK-ARIZONA MAKES BIG GOLD
STRIKE.
News reached Clifton this week of
a big gold strikemade on the Buzzard
shadow claim of the New York-Ari-
IONA company. The town of M)renci
is greatly excited over the strike.
Samples have been exhibited and it
is said that the rock is wholly im-
pregnated with the golden IN etal.
The Bnzzard shadow claim is well
known in this district for its extreme
Iy occasional rich strikes and it is
quite probable that the recent strike
has better staying qualities than any
thing that has ever been struck
before. The management of the
company has been doing a great deal
of development work on the BuzZard
Shadow and a round of shots this
week reveled a body of extremely
rich ore. The strike consists of the
exposure of a we'll defined vein 3 to
9 iuches wide, that will assay into the
thousands. The extent of the vein
is not yet known, but there is enough
in sight to insure the company
handsome sum. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Porter lease on this
claim several years ago took out
several thousand dollars worth of
