kMUSEM ENTS.

The announcement of the coming of Chicago's musical wonder. The Um' pire," which will be seen at the Opera House Friday evening, January 25, should create pleasurable anticipation among local theater-goers. It will especially appeal to lovers of bright, clean and high-class entertainment. There is always a desire to see 1t again. It established the unapproach- able record of $50 consecutive nights, one that will not be equaled for many months to come. as such runs as these are not common, even in New York city. The introduction of that much abused and unfortunate man, the Umpire, to the stage has been cleverly and successfully accomplished by the authors, Messrs. Adams and Hough, having surrounded him with amusing situations and rich comedy, and pro viding a pretty romance that fairly sings It's way through the piece; set with a background of music that, ac. cording to metropolitan critics, for catchiness and sweetness is not ex. celled in musical comedy. The songs that have become particularly popular are You Look AwfulIy Good to Fath- er." Drums of the Fore and Aft, " Let's Take a Trolley" "Clorinda Jackson" Gross Your Heart" and How'd You Like to Be the Umpire?'
 One of the features of The Um- pire" is football game in the second act played by twenty-two girls dressed in full football togs, that arouses a riot of enthusiasm in every audience that sees it. The game is played with as much vim and vigor as Is displayed in real championship game, and oc, casionally the players become so much in earnest that time must be called to allow the half-backs to nurse their in- juries.
 The company is the same as seen at the Grand Opera House, Chicago, head ed by Fred Mace as the Umpire, who will be pleasantly remembered for his funny sandman in "Piff. Paff, Pouf, ' seen here last season. Mir. Mace is assisted by Edith Warrington, Guelma Baker, Harry Hanlon, BTadIee Martin, Katherine Burn, George Damerel, Hel- ena Salinger, Bert Young, Jessie Illus. ton and others. There is also the famous little dancing girls, the "broil CTS" as feature of the chorus of sixty pretty girls.

SANTA F IS HOT VERY MUCH WORRIED
Rebates Granted in Arizona Said to Have Been Less
 Than S350,000,

According to the Los Angeles news papers, Santa Fe officials do not ap- pear to be worried because the federal grand jury, working under the direc- tion of tbe United States District At, torney Lawler. saw fit to indict the railroad company and the Grand Can yon Lime 6 Cement company, and re- turn an individual true bill against its president, MT. Schirm.
 It Is stated as a fact that the amount of alleged rebates or money value of concessions given to the 1nIanr lime and cement company, which are not admitted to have been granted by the railroad, does not exceed s350.
 The public has had the impression that the amount reached into thou sands of dollars. Why this impres sion was permitted to prevail no one seems to know.
 Subpoena service, commanding the representatives of the railroad corpor. ation to appear before United States District Judge Welborn Monday, was secured by United States Marshal Youngworth.
 Thomas J. Norton, head of the rail roads legal department, and his as assistants, will appear for. the rail- oad and will hotly contest every step of the prosecution, as they do not be lieve the federal authorities will sue. ceed in proving in a court of record that illegal favors were granted to the lime and cement company.

GONE TO BE MARRIED.

Thomas A Stafford, superintendent of the Butte & Arizona property in the Huachuca mountains, and probably one of the best known mining men in the district. was a passenger outbound last evening for the east. When Stafford was first asked where he was heading for he stated Douglas, but as the Re view reporter was suspicious, he ll. quired of the railroad authorities and found that the mining man was bound for Silver City, New Mexico. When faced with this fact Stafford broke down and admitted that he was going away to be married. Stafford's en- gagement has been known to his friends for some time, as he erected a five-room house on the Butte property several months ago, and furnished it in a manner too neat for the use of men.

 TOMBSTONE, Ariz,. Jan. 23.-At torney O. Gibson has returned from Phoenix, where he went to ap- pear before the supreme court in the case of the city of Tombstone ys. the Hnachuca Water company, he appear ing for the water company. The case was argued before the court Thursday last and submitted. It is not proba- hle that any decision will be rendered in the case until some time during the month of March. at which time it is expected that the supreme court will hand down decisions in all of the cases that are being submitted to it at thIs sitting. The court will be in session for some time yet, as there are a num- Der of cases to be taken up by that body.
 The bridge at Maricopa is still out, and MT. Gibson states that 1t will be Thursday of this week at least before repairs can be made so as to allow even a transfer. The river has been going down quite rapidly, but it is expected that the warm weather of the past few days will materially eff feet the melting of the snow in the mountains north and east of Phoenix sufficient to cause another rise in tho river. It is impossible to do any work in the river bed when the water is up. MT. Gibson and those with him had to take the train from Phoenix to Flor ence and ferry across the river at that point and then take the stage to Casa Grande.
 At Casa Grande. while waiting. MT. Gibson went out to the large ruins

IGILA BRIDGE STILL OUT
 RIVER IS GOING DOWN

and watched the work being done by Professor J. W. Fewkes, who. under government supervision, is maknlg some extended excavations among the ruins, and making repairs on the old ones to protect them from the ele- ments.
 During the past few weeks Professor Fewkes has made a number of inter- esttng discoveries in regard to the ruins. He has uncovered an en- closure 300 by 400 feet, the wall being from two to three feet high. Inside of this enclosure he found a number of small rooms, in which were found a number of interesting curios, such as stone hammers, pipes, etc. The pro- lessor is of the opinion that he has found out the name of the chief who was in charge of the village, and some of the history of the family. The professor made the statement to Mir Gibson that if the government would give another allowance of $3,O00 he would uncover a village that would H. val Pompeii. He has gone about as far with the work as he can at this time, unless he secures further appro- priations from the government, as tine sum of s3,0O0 that\was allowed has about been consumed. It is hoped that the professor will obtain his ad. ditional appropriation and be able to continue the work, as there are a num- Der of mounds In that locality which have not as yet been touched, and which the professor Is sure will COZ, tain further evidence of the prehistoric race that occupied the Gila valley U the early days.

WEIGHT OF CHARGE AFFECTING
 SlLVER-LEAD SIMPLIFYING

In 1896, George B. Lee, at that time superintendent at the Union Smelt- ing Works, Leadville, Colo, was much worried by blast-furnace lead losses
 amounting to upward of 25 per cent of the total lead charged. The slag was
 clean. the matte low, the furnaces fair on top, but still this loss occurred I shift after shift. Sometimes not 8 single bar of basebullion was dipped on some furnaces for two shifts. Sev- eral metallurgists were consulted, but, after trying their suggestions, the same thing continued. The amount of matte produced was smaller than 1t
 should be, and the furnaces was run 1 down and the lead appeared to have gone into the wall accretions. One furnace after ten days running had the accretions due ordinarily to two or three months. The heat was eyi- dentTy too high up, and the lowest permissible limit of fuel had been
 reached GAS to Is per cent of Stark vile coke with 20 per cent of ash but no charcoal). The furnaces were low and the ores included much very fine roasted sulphides containing 10 per cent zinc.
 Robert D. Rhodes came from the
 Arkansas Valley works nearby, and
 puzzled over 1t, and suggested thicker
 layers in heavier charges. MT. Lee | essayed this by feeding two fuel charges. then two ore charges. Some
 how the night feeder got mixed about
 it, and started to feed four fuel, then four ore charges. This made a layer Of coke of 600 Ib., a layer of charge of 4,000 ib.. and layer of slag of 1,50O h., so that the coke layers were sep 1 arated by $500 ID. of cold material to i be smelted. This seemed excessive
 for a furnace l3 by 130 in. at the
 chargefloor, but the queer thing was
 that an trouble ceased. The furnaces
 reduced well, ran very fast, and kept in splendid condition. Mir. Lees idea
 was that with the thinner layers the fuel was almost continuous, while In i the new way there was series or
 breaks, making 1t harder for the fire to climb up, and besides the more
 fusible slag was farther away and
 therefore less liable to be melted by
 the coke below 1t.
 Both A. s. Dwight and Anton Eilers
 suggested that the ore was too coarse,
 and would reduce better if made finer,
 so as to retard and come more inti-
 mately in contact with the reducing
 gases. It was found that this helped i also.--L. s. Austin in Mining x Scien-

LATEST COPPER MINE MERGER.

Marquette Mining Journal.)
 The following was made public by Paine, Webber & Co. Saturday.
 "An announcement bearing on merger of the Copper Range Consoli- dated Copper company. Osceola Con- soifdated Mining company and several other important Lake Superior copper mining companies will be made in the near future. A syndicate headed by the Cole-Ryan interests of the Amal- gamated company has secured suffi- cient stock in the above named com panies to warrant the statement that a consolidation plan will be carried out. The holding company, which will include the most important Lake Su- perior mines outside of the Calumet & Hecla, will have a capital of about s100, 900 900. It is stated that if the consolidation goes through, very little actual cash will be involved. The combine will be effected through an exchange of securities along a plan similar to the merger of the Greene Consolidated and Cananea CentrSs. The mines mentioned as possible sub- salaries of the consolidated company have a production of over 00,O00,000 pounds of copper a year, compared with total Lake Superior production of 225. .00O, 900 pounds in 1906"
 From the resulting gossip of the re- ported merger 1t appears that In the copper country Paine, Weber & Co.'S news does not entirely cover the ground. It Is believed that the Han cock Consolidated, Quincy and Arcad- ian will be included. The Hancock is now controlled by the Cole-Ryan con cern, the Arcadian is controlled by friendly interest and 1t Is the Quincy control has recently been favorable to a consolidation with both companies named. Certain it is that as these three are contiguous they could be worked more advantageously as one property than as independent mines.
 Partly as a result of the consolida- ton rumors, Tamarack was the feat ure stock of the market on Saturday. This Is also partly due to the fact that No. 2 Tamarack, which had been out of commission for a year on Saturday as a result of the fire, is now prac ticaliy ready for hoisting. The retim- bering of the shaft has been completed and an equipment of drills was sent underground on Saturday. Hoisting from good ground will be commenced this week, and this assured increase In production has had a natural ef- feet on the stock
