'TreIaWnq Of The Wells"

The opera house was packed Tuesday
evening by men, women and children to
witness the presentation of "Trelawny
of the Wells" by the senior class of the
High school, For home talent pro-
duction and all the characters being
portrayed by young people unused to
theatrical work, the performance was
far above the average. So well did all
act their respective parts it is hard to
single out any one or two and give spec
ial credit. Of course, as must be ad-
mitted, the young ladies elected more
favorable comment than the young men
mainly for their attractive grace and
beauty if not for their superior acting.
The comedy seemed to please the audi
ence Immensely as the applause was
most liberal. Special mention must be
made Of the extraordinary ability as a
pianist displayed by Mrs. Eva Langley.
The young lady captivated the down.
stairs and gallery with her superb play
ing and received her share of encores.
Everyone connected with Tuesday even
ing's performance is indeed to be COM
plimented and also congratulated upon
the success of the affair.

improvements on Caledonia Mine.

The Gold Seal Mining company, op-
Grating the Caledonia mine on Alps hill
is making big improvements, and soon
the mine will be producing a good
quantity, and doubtless, quality of ore.
A new shaft house has been erected,
the finishing touches being put on this
week. and plant of machinery is be-
ing installed in the same. A 25 horse
power boiler and holster have been
placed in position and a lot of neces-
sary repairs made. The improvements
in equipment will make it possible to
sink the shaft several hundred feet
further. The last lift, which was fin
ished some time ago. made the shaft
$50 feet deep. 1t is thought that be-
fore sinking is commenced again drift
ing will be prosecuted both ways on the
vein, to block out some ground and do a
little prospecting. During the sinking
to the present depth several good look
ing punches of ore were struck and it
is thought that with a little drifting
good ore will be encountered. John
Davy of Nevadaville is looking after
the property.

DsImonIco Working Steadily.

Most of the work in the Delmonico
which is situated on Alps hill, is being
done in the 120O-foot level and good ore
is coming out of the same. Here they
are stoping and sinking winze. The
stope is about 225 feet from the shaft
and the winze is little nearer. There
is good streak of ore in the winze and
runs close to $1O0 to the ton. This is of
smelling character, as it also the ore
from the stope, the iron from the latter
is from four to six inches wide and runs
very good. Some milling. ore is also
shipped from here every once in while
and is of high grade, running from five
to six ounces gold to the cord. This is
the famous 1200-foot level out of which
some high grade ore used to come in the
early days. Some of the ore from the
12O0-foot east level formerly run as high
as twenty ounces gold to the ton. There
is small streak of this ore left there,
although at present it is not being work.
ed. The work is being done in the west
level. The mine is being looked after
by Geo. Ross for his father. Mr.. Ross
this spring graduated from the School
of Mines and is making good mine
manager.

Hazard Mine Started.

A home pool has been formed to oper-
ate the Hazard mine mine on Alps
mountain in Leavenworth mining dis
trict. Jim Semmens of Nevadaville will
have charge of the property and active
operations have already commenced.
The shaft, which is now down a distance
of about thirty feet has been retimber-
ed and other necessary repairs have
been attended to. The shaft is cleaned
out and sinking will commence immedia-
tely. This lift will be for about so feet,
before any other work is pushed very
much. There is good streak of ore In
the bottom about one foot wide and
promises soon to run into lead, which, in
this district carries very good quantity
of gold and silver. When this shaft was
first sunk number of years ago good
ore came out of the same. If the pro-
perty shows up as good as is expected
machinery will be installed and larger
force put on.

Alps HoistinQ Water.

Jas. Williams and E. ]. Slater have
been busy for the past couple of weeks
hoisting the water out of the Alps main
shaft and have big job on hand. This
comes mostly from the spring inflow and
much water is necessarily hoisted to
keep the shaft anywhere clear Miners
are at work in the 220-foot level in the
west or deep shaft, which starts in the
800 foot level of the main shaft, and
which really makes the place where they
are working 1920 feet deep. This level
is being retimbered and fixed up, pre-
paratory to stopping and drifting in the
same. After the spring water let's up a
little, more miners will be employed in
the other different levels and the mine
put on good shipping basis.

prince Charminq's Fate"

The operetta, prince Charming's
Fate, presented by the pupils of the
public schools on last Friday evening,
was a distinct success. The parts in
the play were taken by members of the
class graduating from the Sth grade.
The operetta was preceded by the
commencement exercises of the class,
consisting of class history by Mar
jorie Lake, salutatory by Calvin Todd,
and the valedictory by Elsie Altvater.
1t is impossible to write criticism of
the operetta, because it was so well
presented that criticism is not in order.
All of the characters acted their parts
with a verve and an appreciation that
was commendable. Ruth Flaherty as
Polly Tubbs, Will Brohl as Tommy
Tubbs, Robt. Morrison as the Prince,
and Elsie Altvater as the Gypsy Prin-
cess, Amoret, were the leading charact-
ers, and were especially strong.
The choruses were given by pupils of
the lower grades, and showed careful
training and good talent. They were
under the direction of Professor Thom-
as, instructor in music in the schools.
Much credit is due Mrs. Maischoss,
the sth grade teacher, for the success
of the performance, since she carried
through the whole entertainment to
success.

Good Ore In pqrenese.

Several sets of lessees are working
in this mine and are doing fine, as is
also the company, which has a number
of days pay men at work. A lot of
milling ore is being shipped this week
from the 74O-foot level east, where the
lessees are drifting and stoping and
good returns are expected from the
same. This ore has been bringing
about two ounces gold to the cord, but
the ore has improved materially and it
is anticipated that the values will al
most double the former runs. A nice
streak of ore is being worked on in the
660-foot level. This is the company s
ore and will run about $40 to the ton,
being of a smelling character. Some
lessees working in the 660-foot level
shipped lot of their ore and it gave
returns of over $40 to the ton. This is
good ore. In all ten men are working
in the mine, but more miners are being
put on daily and soon the force will be
quite large.

North Eclipse Resumes Operations.

The North Eclipse mine, which is sit
uated just below the Pyrenese mine,
has been reopened again by home pool,
known as Tenbs & Co. For the past
week or so repairs have been made and
now water is being hoisted with whim
The shaft is $50 feet deep and after the
water is all out an examination will be
made and future operations decided up
on. This mine was formerly worked by
home parties and good money was made
out of the same, some shipments being
as high as twenty ounces gold to the ton.
According to the last parties that work
ed the property there is four-inch
streak of lead ore in the bottom of the
shaft. Should this be so, sinking.will be
prosecuted little further and then
drifting commenced.

klnq Bee Group Started Up.

The King Bee group, located in Rus
sell district between the Saratoga and
the Pewabic, was started up last week.
There are "a claims in the group. A
plant of machinery has arrived and will
be installed on the Clifton Belle. This
is the leading claim of the group and is
down over 400 feet deep. This prop
erty has been idle since 1898 but the
shaft is in pretty good shape and very
little repairs will be necessary. The
Newhouse tunnel penetrates the group
and good deal of ore is exposed in the
tunnel level and this will be taken out
as soon as miners are put to work. A
Mr.. Hellar, recently from Cripple
Creek, is manager.

Invests In elIpln County Mines.

Samuel B. Wellington, president OF
the Wellington Trading company of New
York, one of the richest investment
companies on Broadway, left yesterday
for New York after investing heavily in
Clear Creek and Gilpin county mining
properties in which Frank Joslin of Den
yer is also interested.
Mr.. Wellington has such unbounded
faith in the future of this district that
he SAYS in the future these two counties
will produce enough precious metals to
supply the whole world were it abso-
lutely necessary.
1.-The difficulty around Idaho Springs,
Central City, Silver Plume and other
points in Clear Creek and Gilpin counties
in the past" says Mr.. Wellington, "has
been the lack of directed effort and in
sufficient capital to bring out the riches
that we all know dwell in the mountains
and hills. My opinion is that with in
telligent investment and proper work,
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties have
futures like no other mining center in
the west, and believe that it is far
better investment and more money will
be made there than on the stock ex-
change in New York.
81 believe that at no distant day the
men of millions who are far-seeing and
the men who do not possess quite so
much, but are wise investors, will put
their money in the mines of the West
and if they do you can mark my predic-
ton that their returns will be greater
than in any other industry that know
of at the present day. Ihave some very
close mining connections in Alaska, but
that is country of ice and snow, while
these two counties where we are going
to spend much money are pleasure re-
sorts of great possibilities if well di-
rected effort, supported by ample capi-
tai, is put into them.
Mr.. Wellington was manager of the
Nellie mine at Telluride eighteen years
ago. He is now connected with the
Tri-Bullion Development and Smelling
company, which is building a smelter
for its own use. He is also interested
in what is known as the old Kelly mine
at Socorro, N. M. from which Sc, 900. 900
in copper has been taken.
Mr.. Wellington thinks mining is the
best investment for capital because
other industries have fallen into the
hands of few trusts. Wellington will
return in six weeks to look after the
development of his new properties. :

publicans, who are beginning to wonder if Wakefield was really ever appointed by President Roosevelt.
 But one explanation has thus far been offered and to most who have heard 1t there is still something wanting. It does not explain why Wakefield has never heard anything official or unoffi- cial from Oyster Bay or Washington, D. c.
 Friends of Wakefield are claiming that President Roosevelt has actually decided to appoint Wakefield, but that when the appointment is announced it will be through Secretary of the Inter for James R. Garfield.
 For some time Secretary Garfield has been in the west, visiting irrigation projects and attending the Denver land convention, where he acted as the off cial agent of President Roosevelt, whose policy came in for much censure at that convention.
 When Secretary Garfield goes back to Washington, so local Republican poli- ticians say, President Roosevelt will indorse Wakefield for register of the Phoenix land office With this indorse- ment his appointment would be certain.
 Each passing day raises hopes in the breasts of Charles E.. Arnold, Judge M. A. Morford and others who are after the job, but did not get a chance to show President Roosevelt why they should be favored with the appointment.
 In the absence of anything official ever having been given out at Oyster Bay or Washington, many are inclined to think that Wakefield was never real ly appointed, and that the announce ment that he had was the result of someone jumping at conclusion.
 Wakefield is said to be marshaiing his forces in Tucson to begin a fight for the removal of the land office from Phoenix to Tucson. He has enlisted the support of several influential Tucson people and Phoenix will probably have fight on it's hands if the land office is to remain in this city. Wakefield wants it in Tucson bad.

We rejoice with the Phoenix papers in the escape from defeat in Tucson, fol- lowing the series here. The following are some of the comments:

However, even though they did lose four straight games to team up in the mountains somewhere (we believe it was at town called Globe), they didn't lose all the games they were supposed to play on the trip--the game with Tucson was not a defeat, thank the powers that be.
