Al Mistake.

We regret the announcement in
this paper last week stating that
Mr.. ]. w. Thorn was married. The
information came to us indirectly,
but we cannot attach any blame to
the person telling us about it, tor
doubtless he heard it the same way
and was trying to do us favor.
We should have investigated the
matter little more before putting
it in the paper. Mr.. Thorn is not
married and we trust the gentle.
man will excuse us for circulating
the error.

NEIL BURGESS.

Seldom does star or play or both combined receive such hearty well come as does Neil Burgess, who will be seen at Polls this afternoon and evening and tomorrow matinee and night in the laugh provoking play 'The County Fair" This is not alone novel and unique, but 1t possesses a rustic freshness and quaint simplic- ity which disarms criticism and per mits the spectators to enjoy every fea- ture of the performance. With Neil Burgess in the role of prim old yer bose and whimsical spinster, or the scolding and nagging wife, he is to- day, as he was years ago, winner The story of "'The County Fair" is well known to the theater public. Ev- cry character ill the play is a plain everyday individual, just suc; as one would encounter in rural commun- ity and there is just enough romance to lend the comedy delicious flavor. To those who admire sparkling come dy. homely pathos and ludicrous sit nations. and with all. a good old fash toned play, should not miss Neil Bur gess in "'The County Fair Prices, matinee 9 and 50c, evening 25c to $1.

HIS HONOR THE MAYOR"

The newest song, and one which made tremendous hit in His Honor the Mayor" which will be seen at Polls Monday, December 20, is "l Wish I Could Find the Man who Wrote the Merry Widow Waltz" sung and danced by Harry Kelly and Madelyn Marshall. It is clever satire on the beautiful, haunting waltz song of the great musical comedy sue cess, "The Merry Widow" now run hing at the New Amsterdam theater, New York, and likely to run for an other year. The peculiarly happy fea- ture of Harry Kelly's song is that it is so good in itself that one does not need to have seen "The Merry Widow" to thoroughly enjoy it. The music is delightful and the two come dians are excruciatingly funny. His Honor the Mayor" comes direct from the Circle theater. its fifth New York engagement. with the same cast, pro ductlon and pony ballet. The company includes Mae Botti, Bobby Barry, Thelma Fair. Hugh Fay, John IT. Pratt. Arthur Ernest. William W. Black. George Fox. Nellie Dc Grasse, Dan Evans. Harry Evans, Catherine Tanner, Madely Marshall.

BROWNS0N RESIGNS,
Rear Admiral Quits Post as Chiel 7 of Bureau of Navigation.
DIFFERS WITH ROOSEVELT.
Resignation Is Accepted at Once by President and Captain MoR. WinsIow Named In His Place - Appointment Believed to Be Only Temporary.


 Washington, Dec. 25. President Roosevelt received and accepted the resignation of Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson as chief of the bureau of navigation. The resignation takes ef- feet immediately, and Captain Cam eron McR. Winslow has been appoint ed to succeed the admiral. No reason for the resignation is given at the White House, but 1t is not unlikely connected with the publication in the New York Press of an interview with Admiral Brownson severely criticising the organization of the navy.
 The Press correspondent asked Ad- miral Brownson in the presence of Sec retary AIetcalf if the charges made by Henry Reuterdahl in McClure's Mag

REAR ADMIRAL BROWNSON.

REAR ADMIRAL BROWNSON. azine were true. The admiral answer ed that Reuterdahls article was as q whole ill natured, i'll considered and in some important particulars untrue, but" the admiral added, you can say for me that the organization of the navy is bad. I say 1t before the sec retary, and l said it to the president. I do not believe in the bureau system. and it is my opinion that there should be a thorough reorganization"
 Differs With President.
 Two other theories have been ad- vanced as being sufficient in them- selves to bring forth the letter of res ignation which Secretary Metcalf pre- scented to the president. One of these reasons is that the admiral finds him. self unable to agree with the ideas of the president regarding certain impor- tant policies to be pursued by the bureau of navigation. Such q disagree ment. honestly entertained, would leave the admiral but one course. and that to take his place on the retired list and relinquish the active management of the bureau over which he has do- minion.
 The other reason is that the rear ad- miral. being on the retired list of the navy, may not be legally confirmed by the senate to an appointment to &C., tive duty. It is known that the judge advocates department of the navy has been wrestling with this legal ques- tion, with special reference to the case of Admiral Brownson. for several weeks past It is also known that an opinion on the question has recently opinion is can he only surmised in view of the action taken by the ad- miral.
 Probable Successors.
 Those who believe that 1t is the reason for his resignation say that the opinion set forth the law to be that his confirmation could not be legally executed by the senate. Such q de- cision would undoubtedly have the re- suit of causing the admiral to place his resignation in the hands c. the secretary.
 Commander Winslow for some time has been assistant to Admiral Brown son and consequently is familiar with the duties of the bureau. However. it Is known that Commander winslow is anxious to obtain command of the new battleship New Hampshire. so it is ln- tended to bridge over an interval dur ing which the president can make selection of another officer.
 Among the officers mentioned as most likely to succeed Rear Admiral BrOwnson are Captain Richardson Glover and Lieutenant Commander William <. Sims, one of the presidents ravaH aids

Representative of Big Concern Visits
 Tip Top Mine Near Helvetia

George C. Kaufman of New York, representative of the Guggenheims, who recently acquired the Tip Top property in the Helvetia district, is in Tucson. He stated that the Tip Top is shy on miners. He is not particular as to the number who would apply for work at the Tip Top. His company could use 150 if they were to be had.
 Mir. Kaufman had conference with Helvetia Copper company representa- tive and there was a report that the mining companies in the Helvetia dis trict would combine to build a railroad which will give them better shipping facilities and thereby lessen the cost of freighting.
 When asked if there is any likelihood of a railroad being built from Helvetia to either the Southern Pacific or the Twin Buttes, MT. Kaufman stated that this is a matter for the Helyetia people to decide.
 The Tip Top mine is continuing it's ore shipments to the Fl Paso smelt- CTS.
 Three tunnels are being run on the Omega property and about thirty min CTS are employed in the development work.
