INTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT.
Operatic Stock Company at the Hype

Operatic Stock Company at the Hype-
 rion Openng March 28.
 A decidedly interesting announcement is made from the Hyperion theater.
 On March 28 a stock. company will open an indefinite engagement at that house presenting the best of light operas and musical comedies. The opening bill is to be ''The Toreador, the famous New York and London mu- sical comedy success in which Francis Wilson scored so emphatic a hit It is quite likely that a number of new mu- sical pieces will be produced here for the first time during the stay of the company and the public may rest as- sUred that none but the best pieces will be given. While it is impossible at the present time to give a complete roster of the company it is stated that the company will be headed by Miss Thelma Fair, William Blaisdell, George Whyte and Hugh Fay.
 Miss Fair has been identified with many of the vest best musical organl- 2ations and besides possessing a voice of remarkable purity, quality and vol ume is a very handsome woman and an accomplished actress, Mr Blaisden is an unctuous comedian who perhaps

HENRIETTA cRosMAN.

Fresh from her New York triumph and in the flush of her pronounced success of her Broadway run at the Bijou theater, Henrietta Crosman will be seen at the New Haven theater on Monday night, March IS, when she will offer "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy" her greatest hit, and by every estimate one of the brightest comedies ever brought to this country from England. Apart from the New York popularity "All-of- a-Sudden Peggy" attained through Miss Crosmans presentation of the comedy there this season, it is cele- brated for it's notably long run in Lon don. The public owes much to this actress for what she has done in sea- sons past and the debt is increased now by the chance to see Miss Crosman in "All-of-a- Sudden Peggy" There is always the certainty that she will be delghtful. When was she not? What play or character ever lacked charm under her delft art? Who has seen her in Sweet Kitty Bellars, Mistress Nell" "As You Like It." or other com edies without carrying away lasting impressions of enjoyment? So it is sure to be in "All-of-a- Sudden Peggy" for this is capital comedy, it's merits proved not alone by Miss Crossman's success in it in New York but by it's popularity in London last year where at the Duke of York's theater it ran for the greater part of the season. The play was bound to come to America. Its London success assured it's being brought over here, and playgoers have reason to be grateful that it fell into such skilled hands as Miss Crosman's.
 The character, Peggy O'Mara, chief person in "All-of-asudden Peggy"
 who captured the fancy of entire Lon-
 don, is just suited for Miss Crosman. No other actress in this country or in

Those patrons of the theater who are familiar with the work of William Fav- ersham in the past, will be somewhat astonished to find him in the chief part of the new play. 'The lSquaw Man, , which comes to the Hyperion next Fri day. MT Faversham, however, acquits himself excellently, and by many com potent critics this part is considered the best he has yet had. If reports be accurate there is ample opportunity for him in the role of Captain James W'ynnegate in Edwin Milton Royle's new vehicle for 1t details in the first act the life of a British army officer a position by the way that Mr. Faver- sham once held prior to his adoption of the stage-and later that officers emil grafton to the COW country of Wyoming and his life while there. With regard to the latter, it is only necessary to state that MT. Faversham has spent some years in the west and knows pret- ty thoroughly the territory in which the play is laid.

RICH IN ROMAN REMAINS.

It has been decided to carry out careful and thorough excavation of the sit of the ancient Romanfnan town near Corbridge, about eighteen miles distant from Newcastle, in the north of England. This country is particul- arly rich in Roman domains, many important military stations having been established in this district to re- pei the invasive tactics of the Picts from across the Scottish border Tue present site is believed to be the re- mains of Corstopitum, an old market town built by the Romans. It differs materially from the surrounding mili- tary encampments. It is anticipated that discoveries of great value, from an archaeological point of view, will result, since already many intresting relics have been found upon the site. The excavation work is to be carried out by an influentiaal committee, of which the Duke of Northumberland is the president and the work will oc- cupy some five philadelphia Record

 The conference was of an informal nature. It was stated that an effort will be made to secure the celebrated evangelist, Gypsy Smith, of England. Evangelist Smith has had quite a unique career. He was born and brought up among the gypsies, and it is from this fact that he gets his nick name. He was converted to the Chris tan faith and has devoted his life to evangelistic work since that time.

The attraction ot the New Haven theater tonight is to be "At Piney Ridge" This well known play is from the pen of the author-actor, David Higgins. It is styled a stae story of the mountains of Tennessee and has been seen here before and made a suc- cessful showing For several seasons this play. has been one of the dramat- is standbys, that could be depended up- on to please, and the present company appears to be in every way fitted to the task of keeping up the fine reputa- ton of the sturdy American drama as At Piney Ridge certainly is The principal role of Jack Rose, the rough and ready young mountaineer, is in the hands of MT. Van H. Hinzie, a brother of the author of the play, and the sup porting company was selected by MT, Higgins with due regard for personal fitness to the various personages of the play

The play, in fact, may be regarded as a remedy for the cure of selfishness. "A Message from Mars" is well ard favora.bly known to the theatergoers here, it having made an indelible impression in the minds of all who saw it. It is conceded to be a play that everybody should see.

Ely Smelter

The 10000 ton smelling plant
being built by the Guggenheims
at Ely will itself be wonder.
To give something of an idea of
size, over a mile will intervene
between the concentrating mill
and the smelter and all this
space will be built in solidly with
auxiliary plants of various kinds,
warehouses. etc. There will be
more than II miles of trackage
in the yards. The one item of
copper cable used to transmit
power in the yards alone will
cost $40, 900. The stack will be
$50 feet high, the highest in the
country, and only five feet short
er than the Washington monu-
ment. They are now working
several hundred men on this
great plant and expect to have
the first unit completed before
the end of the year, while the
completion of the second unit
win follow early next year.

built plant makes possible the
recovery of SO per cent of the
values; the third, which is taken
from a Colorado paper, gives the
pleasing information that the
remodeling of the cyanide plant
has resulted in the extraction Of
S.5 per cent of the assay gold
values contained in the ore.
We are never surprised to run
across such wild statements rs
these in the prospectus of the
promoter, or in the columns of a
paper remote from mining To-
calities. But their publication
in the press of mining camps is
inexcusable. The editors of
these local papers assuredly are,
or ought to be. better posted on
on metallurgical matters than to
give space to such exaggerations.
No reputable metallurgist
would be bold enough to make
SO unreserved a statement, nor
will the average mining opera
tor believe it. The uniformed
investor may, however-and in
this lies the greatest harm. For,
should he chance to be interested
in the particular property, or one
in the same, or even one in any
other locality, he will expect a
similar value recovery.
The metallurgist, mill super
intendent or manager at the in
vestor's" property viii be ex-
pected to render as satisfactory
an account of reduction opera
tons, and in failing to do so will
surely be counted out as unfit. T"
1t viii end in the investor dis
crediting the mining industry.
To be sure, such cases may be
rare-and yet we have known of
several.
In defense of the local editors,
We must admit that very often
they are misled by the eenyer-
sational statements of the met
allurgist or mill superintendent.
Many of the latter, as we know
from experience, give out in
formation as to percentage of
values recovered. which is ex-
aggerated and metallurgically
non-attainable. Mining Re-
