throughout the piece, which is in four
acts, all laid in England.
In some respects the story is sug-
gestive of the career of "Raffles." But
1t begins in more sordid surroundings.
The opening scene takes place In an
empty house in Soho, London. All the
principal characters are early intro
duced, and the groundwork OF the plot
revealed. A gang of kidnappers have
carried off the only son of a wealthy
Lancashire ironfounder some five
years before the play begins, but the
youth dies ere they can claim the re-
ward offered for his recovery. But
the kidnappers do not lose hope. One
of their number has befriended a pro-
fessional gambler known as Austria
liam Jack. They discover that he bears
a strong resemblance to the dead
youth, and urge him to person.
ate him. But he has longings for a
better life. He refuses their proposal,
but eventually he is persuaded to cut
the cards, and drawing the Knave OF
hearts he throws in his lot with the
gang, thus enabling them to secure
large sum of money. Jack is welcom-
ed as the long lost son, and acts the
part to the life; but the gang, becom-
ing suspicious of him, begin to plot
for his overthrow He checkmates all
their schemes, and in the end he does
what they have failed to do-he UNI
masks the plot. BY this time, how
ever, he becomes indispensable to the
wealthy ironfounder, not to speak of
his daughter, and the curtain is rung
down on touching love scene. Such
is brief indication of the story.
Miss Unger has made good use OF
her materials, so much so that she
contrives to give fresh impetus at
each critical trun, which serves to car
ry forward to the close the interest OF
the audience. She is exceptionally

Unger, formerly secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, has written
play which has made a great hit in
England 1t is called The Knave of

thus meant to convey that the play is
not of the lurid character which the
term melodrama often connotes. While
there is no lack of bold coloring and

JIM BUTLER'S OPINION.

Jim Butler, discoverer of Tonopah
and pioneer in the revival of the min
ing industry in Nevada, has just
come out with a full statement COW
ering the present inharmonious rela-
lions existing at Goldfield between
the miners and the operators.
THE Goldfield trouble" says Mr.
Butler, in an interview in the West
has been brewing for two or three
years. In fact, it began when the
present mine owners were miners
themselves. They went there when
they were poor, worked hard, saved
their money and invested in mines
and other property. When they Sc
cured mines of their own they en-
ployed union miners and held no ami
mostly toward them until the miners
themselves began the trouble.
When high grading was begun
and the ore was found to be worth
several thousands of dollars ton,
the town suddenly became full of
assay offices. There seemed to be no
reason for this until it was learned
that the miners were taking the ore
home with them from the mines and
selling it to the supposed assay men.
If workman took chunk that
would fill his pocket he secured $25
or $50, because the ore was so rich
Several prominent men were
found with a large number of sacks
of ore which was supposed to have
been obtained in this manner. So
much was taken that the mine own
ers became alarmed as they had put
all of their money into the mines
They decided that it would be neces-
sary to put change room into their
mines. This was in order that the
miners could change their clothes
after coming from and before going
to work
"Of course, the miners objected to
this, despite the fact that most of the
large mines in the country already
We're working on this system. Then
the companies wanted to put nom
union miners to work, and. of course,
the unions objected again. Now,
have nothing against the miners.
They are fine fellows, and make as
good appearance in public as the ma
jority of the business men. Doubt
less, many thought that they were
doing no harm in taking the pieces of
pre-, but at last they submitted to the
change room. They were getting
good wages, and seemed to be salts
fed.

ENGLAND'S MONEY ON THE
WRONG HORSE.

Count Okuma distresses and Of
tends the British SOIL which knows
no two sides to bargain. Japan
should be content with the honor of
alliance with Great Britain, and that
should be enough. The material ben
efits should all accrue to the Brit
isher who condescends 50 much to
the mere Asiatic.
Count Okuma, being of contentious
disposition, sees things in another
light. He is not as much impressed
by honorable ally" as that ally be-
lieves to be his due from lesser
breeds without the law Now Okuma
is an exponent of the rule formulated
in the phrase Asia for the Asiatics,
which is indeed logical corollary to
the Monroe doctrine. But if this rule
should become the law for Asia, why,
then, England has no uneasiness in
India. Indeed, the British rule of
that teeming territory takes rank
among the most conspicuous failures
of the ages. The constantly recur-
ring famines and plaques, varied by
an occasional dangerous rebellion, af-
ford no evidence of British efficiency
in government
At the present moment India is a
hotbed of sedition, and for that rea-
son Okuma's remarks are regarded
as particularly i'll timed and likely to
make trouble. When a statesman of
race of proved efficiency in war
talks to people already ripe for re-
bellion about European oppression"
of India, it is direct and powerful in
element to revolution. When Oku-
ma adds that the natives of India are
looking at Japan for protection, that
does not help matters. 1t seems, as
if honorable ally" were taking al
together too much on himself. The
treaty does not include the give and
take of inconvenient lessons in NOR
ais. Rather, in British eyes, it is the
bond of union that bound the 40
thieves in one harmonious cry of COM
mon rapacity
For the moment, certain British
journalists are making a hot and OBJ

1t looks very much as if Mr.. Roose-
welt had yielded to policy at the
behest and under the threat of the
labor leaders of the cast. In other
words, it appears that the president
has the interests of Mr.. Taft, if not
his own, SO much at heart that he
has determined to kow-tow and have
the support of the organized labor
element rather than protect life and
property at Goldfield at the cost of
loss of popularity with the rabble.

Attacks on the smelters of the

stockholders of Cumberland Ely and
Nevada Consolidated have cause for
self congratulation. Their reduction
works we're most wisely surrounded
by a large area of vacant lands, which
they own and on which they can put
what they please. Beyond this area
there is no chance for doing damage
by smelter smoke or fumes and con-
sequentlly no chance for the bringing
about of litigation. The litigation
hunter must go elsewhere to ply his
evil trade. He cannot buy lawsuit
with the area owned by the compa-
MES. Such protection to stock hold
ers as this course at McGill has
brought about means a great deal in
association with values of the COM
panies' issues of securities. There
are few other copper companies so
fortunately situated. The wisdom of
those who exercised the forethought
to make the arrangement here will
earn many dollars in the future for
those whose funds are in the com
panies.
