SEVEN DEVILS
HAS MILLIONS
Strike on Old Peacock Makes
Greatest Copper Mine
In the U. S.

WEISER, Sept. 24.--E. M. Barton
of this city returned yesterday evening
from the Seven Devils, where he went
to look after his mining property in
that section. While there Mr.. Barton
made a thorough inspection of the Old
Peacock wine in order to satisfy him
self as to the correctness of the re-
port of the recent big strike in that
mine, which is being operated under
1O-year lease by William Harris Of
New York city and George w. Boggs
of Baker City. Mr.. Barton states that
on the 100-foot level the ore body has
widened out until there is now more
than $1000000 in sight. The ore body
is more than $50 feet wide and will
average per cent copper in addition
to the gold and silver values it car
ries. Mr.. Barton says that right now
the Peacock is the biggest copper mine
| in the United States.
There is enough ore in sight in the
! mines in the Seven Devils to keep a
1000-ton smelter in constant operation.
Messrs. Harris and Boggs also have a
| lease on the Lockwood group, and are
developing it,
Work will be commenced in a few
days on the construction of a tramway
from the Peacock mine to the railroad
being built from Huntington to Lew
iston. The tramway will be four
miles long and will cross Snake river.
Two cars of ore have been shipped
from the mine to the Sumpter smelter,
and there is nearly enough more in the
bins at the railroad station at Conn
Gil to load another car A large
amount of supplies has been taken in
bunk houses and boarding house
buildings repaired and every arrange
ment made for working all winter
Messrs. Boggs and Harris are thor
ough mining men, and are doing theil
work in practical manner. They
have undoubtedly secured one of the
greatest mining propositions in the
West Without doubt the Seven Dew
lis is the greatest copper zone in the
country, and is simply waiting com
mon sense development to prove it.

els ]. Heney yesterday in 45-minute
statement, outlined to the jury which

United Railroads, the evidence the
prosecution proposes to submit in
proof of the charge that he bribed
Supervisor Thomas F. Lonergan in the
sum of $4,000 to vote for the trolley
franchise.
1t is the assertion of the prosecution
that General Ford. with the active
help of his assistant, VIM. NJ. Abbott,
and by the orders of President Pat
rick Calhoun of the defendant corpor-
alton, paid Abe Ruef, the then political

PETROLEUM-PEAT
ALASKAN FUEL
New Discovery at Cold Bay
May Solve Coal
Famine.

SEATTLE, Sept. 24.--The coal man
and the wood man, likewise the gas
man and the man who operator the
turn it-on system of heating from a
central power plant, are not wanted in
the region about Cold bay, Alaska.
They are welcome, of course, for the
Alaskans are hospitable folk, but they
would find business dull.
Cola bay--it really isn't so very cold
is situated on the south side OF the
beak of land that stretches westward
and dwindles into islands. There have
been extensive discoveries of petroleum
in the region between Cold bay and
the bay which is on the opposite side
of the beak-Bristol bay. And the pc
troleum has to do with this tale.
In several places it has been found,
the brown, Shiny stuff which is known
commercially as petroleum oOzed out
of the ground and flowed down the wa
ter courses into the valleys. The val
leys about Cold bay are Doggy at the
bottom, and there are considerable
| deposits of peat.
The petroleum in flowing down the
| hillside, evaporated to a considerable
extent, so that, instead of sinking
| through into the ground it merely
| soaks the peat with the oil The petro-
| leum peat can't be beat as a fuel All
you have to do is to cut out a chunk
| witbaSDade and carry if home where
it burns vigorously and long. 1t doesn't
need particular stove to be burned
in, and it doesn't need a meter. And
there is plenty for all who live about
Cold bay. At the Alaska Yukon Pa
cific exposition, which is to be held in
1 Seattle in 1909, there will be an inter-
esting exhibit Of the petroleum. peat
of Cold bay. The exposition will spe-
cialize in Alaskan displays.

GIANTS IN JELLY.

Two models of huge cutie fish have just been placed in the shell gallery of the Natural History Museum at South Kensington. One of these is that of an enormous octopus, measuring twenty feet across the tentacles; the other is that of "squid, which from the tip of the tail to the tip of the longest ten gacle measures forty feet The trunk itself is ten feet in length, the longest pair of tentaces thirty feet. Though both these models are of animals taken in American waters, specimens ar large or even larger, at least of the squid, have been taken off the coasts of these islands. Among the lower orders of the animal kingdom probably none can compare, in the matter of diabolictl cunning and hideousness of form, with the cutie fish and in these models, which are of natural size, this hideous- ness is painfully obvious.-London Graphic.

.srHE sNnm MN ,

A new musical comedy by Stanislaus Stange and Reginald deKoven entitled The Snow Man comes to the Fly perion the last three days of the week. It is a Shubert production having been staged by R. H. Burnside. The piece is in three acts and has a cast of 72 peo- pie. The scenes are laid in Flanders at the time of the Spanish evacuation, lGS1. Treatment of study and music contain elements of decided novelty.
 Some of the principals who will ap- pear in the production and the char acters which they will impersonate are Willie Edouin the English comedian, has created the role of Prof. MaXimil- Han Hooker, whose tbug' is germ kill ing. Years ago this gentleman was seen ir this country in oxygen with Lydia Thompson and in Dreams, or Fun in Q Photograph Gallery" and as Snags in "A Bunch of Keys He also made the Twiddle Punch of 'Florodo- ra" famous in England and has created 9 series of comedy roles which have become very popular in America dur ing the past few years
 Freda, the prima donna role, has been originated by Ida HawleN soprano. The character is that of a demure con- vent girl Miss Hawley began her ca reer under the late Augustin Daly's management. She has played in roper toire with Fritzy scheff, and had the prina donna roles in "The Runaway Girls" "The Geisha, Three Little Maids" and The Pearl and tho Pump kin
 The comedy role of General Grossman of the Flemish army is in the capable hands of William Blaisdell, who has created many similar comedy char acter roles in the past.
 lAriella, the female devil character, is interpreted by Vera Michelena, the young California woman who has sung the prima donna roles in "The Yan-

EDNA WALLAcE HopPER-

For any woman who wishes to sec what the summer will bring forts in the most exclusive styles, the hats and gowns to be worn by Edna Wallace Hopper in "The White Chrysanthe- mum will furnish a sure object les son. In this musical play, when will be seen at the New Haven theater, where it will play two performances on Saturday afternoon and evening, April IS, Miss Hopper will wear morning gown, an afternoon gown and an even ing gown, all of which were made by Mrs, Osborn, the wall-known Fifth ave nue modiste, who sets the pace in New York for all her high-class sister seam stresses
 To favor Miss Hopper, Mrs Osborn has anticipated her own trade and the costumes, Waich emb llish the cute lit tie actress in "The White Chrysanthe- mum foreshadow the fashions at New port during the forthcoming season.

that they have had to say for my play as they have seen it in rehearsals No better city could have been selected to open the production. The people of New Haven are highly intelligent and if we get by there then I shall be more than satisfied. It is at my special re- quest that all particulars regarding the play are withheld pending the opening performance"
 Such modesty on the part of one in- terested in the theatrical field is quite unusual. The ordinary method is to in fate, and exaggerate oftimes without reason and inevitably produces disaster. The stand taken by MT. Veiller will no doubt tend much to the enhancement of of his success, in the event that it comes as is often the case where the blatant trumpet is laid aside for earn est and conscientious endeavor. In Margaret Wycherly, the Shuberts have obtained new star whose ability as an emotional actress is without ques- ticn. Brought up in the highest school of dramatic art, a pupil of both Ben Greet and Richard Mansfield, she can Indeed claim to know Ter profession. Though still well under thirty, this young woman has played many parts in many companies. Two years ago she produced with her own company 'sYeats" plays, scoring most artistic success in both Boston and New York for several months. "The Primrose Path has been written especially for Miss Wycherly and for the English actress Miss Lena Ashwell, of whom she is a prototype. The latter is re- garded as the finest English speaking actress of the emotional type on the stage to-day and many predict that she will yet be distanced by her American rival.
 An excellent company will support Miss Wycherly including Sheldon Lew is, who during the past season has made a big impression as the leading man of the New Haven theater in Chi cago. Ralph Lewis, Sarah Whiteford Charles Sinclair, and Edna Barbour are all prominent members The following is copy of the cast and synopsis of the scenes, this being offered in stead ef the usual forecast of the play.

c6ptional person who will omit reading, not aloud, but by himself, a newspaper story for fear of finding there some thing of a questionable character This isn't total depravity, it is merely hu- man nature and natural curiosity. The newspaper that yields to that sort of publication is almost sure of large sales, and large sales are what every publisher seeks, be his motives high or low
 All newspapers, however do not yield, nor is yielding the only way t6 a large circulation, but it is generally consider cd to be the short-line route to the de- sired result. The attitude of the com mUnity in the matter is the surprising thing There are very many adver- tisers who consider nothing, but the number of copies sold The news pl per, as [ have said, is Q business en- terprise.

Sometimes he is, outside of his ofilee righteous person who deplores deeply what he calls the degeneracy of the press and sees it in many reasons for grave apprehension; but in his office In busineas hours he passes his money over the counter to foster and facilitate this deplorable degeneraey il, the hope Of making a dollar cut of it The week spot in his reasoning is that aI people are not alike. Ten thousand papers sold to chance custo-
 ners whe have practically nothing ia their pockets to buy good with do not offer the advertising opportunity of even 1000 papers that go into the ia miles where things are bought and that are each read by half dozen peo- pie in the course of the day Many ad- vertisers consider this and reckon the nature of circulation to be as much matter of importance as it's volume; so there arc counterbalances and conn pensations. But it remains true that @ vast amount of advertising money IS spent each year simply on the number sold, all of which is an invitation to sell no matter how.
