The Sunny Side Of Broadway
biz OF foolery. music and movement,
which makes no dramatic pretensions,
mas very little reason and not much
rhyme and whose only mission is to
aid just a little bit more to the gaiety
of nations That's what Murray
and Mack's press agent says OF their
show which appeared It the Elks The
atcf las, night and that tells the story
in a nutshell. Charles a. Murray and
Ollie Mack are old timers. They have
been through many successes and no
few failures, but the old addage, you
cant keep a good man down." seems
TO apply 10 them, for every year they
come back at us just as fresh and just
as funny as before. They are out to
make people laugh and amuse gener-
ally and they succeeded in doing this
TO q queens taste" last night. The
audience did not necessitate the hang
ing out OF The S. Il. O. sign, but the
box Office receipts will buy few more
doughnuts for the travelling aggrega-
ton OF thirty Two actor folk and there
is no danger of them missing a meal
for several towns to come.
Take it seriously, Murray and Mack
have 4 show that answers the purpose
this year, and they ought to make
good" with It until the time for re
turning to Broadway. They Still
carry some o. their bewhiskered gags
and stunts, but their aggregation OF
chorus girls. some big and some little
and cute" make up for the shortcom-
ings in this direction. Murray and
Mack are the same comical Irish COM
edians They do their work, in the
same amusing way, no worse and no
better. One clever specially that re-
fleets credit during the performance,
with others, is the whistling of Miss
Carol McComas. She received
lnerited encore and there should be
more OF ii during the show. Max
Blooms burlesque on The Two Or
phans,' Held by the Enemy" and
Uncle Toms Cabin" were we'll done.
The dancing specialties were all that
could have been wished for and the
chorus of pretty girls nice to look at.

terday afternoon at her home on South
Cherry street with 500 party. Mrs.
Mitchell chose for the afternoon to
beautify her home with fragrant, and
modestly beautiful violets, and used
them in profusion. They gave de-
lightful tone and fragrance to the sur
roundings.
Mrs. Mitchell had for assistant host
ess, little Miss Georgia Mae List, who
distributed the score cards. These
were extremely original and contain
ed touch of good natured satire
which every one thoroughly enjoyed,
and much amusement was created by
the design on each one OF party
Of geese enjoying themselves tossing
cards over the ground. The game
was interesting, and the prizes were
beautiful plates. Miss Eula Ware won
the first prize by highest score, and
all drew for the consolation prize
which was won by Miss Amelia List.
A delicious two-course luncheon was
served, in which the violet motif was
carried out. Those who enjoyed Mrs.

COALITION IS
GOOD FOR 800
TONS A DAY

RAWHIDE, Oct. 22.-"I believe
that the Coalition estate alone. can
now produce 500 tons Of milling ore
every day, and that within a year
this output can be doubled"
This is the opinion of one of the
most famous mining engineers IN the
world who has just completed a pre-
liminary examination of the princi-
nal mines of Rawhide in the interest
of the Oregon Short Line Railroad
company. Mr.. Duncan McVichie,
who is consulting engineer for the
Bingham and Ohio Copper companies
of Bingham, and the Silver King
Coalition Mining company of PARK
City, has been inspecting some cop
per properties at Yerington for his
Utah principals, and few days ago
received Instructions from the Ore
gon Short Line people to visit Raw
hide and make a report on the pos
sible ore tonnage of the district.
He arrived here Monday and spent
two days making his investigation,
leaving last night for Yerington.
While here Mr.. McVichie carefully
inspected the Mint, Grutt and Truett
leases on the Coalition, and the Big
Four and Lillian leases on the Con-
solidated estate, and made super
fetal examination of most OF the
other principal properties. He pro-
nounced the Truett lease on the
Happy Hooligan claim of the Coaii-
ton one Of the biggest low-grade
milling propositions he has ever
seen, and it was upon the showing
of that property. and those in the
Mint and Grutt leases that he based

IMPROVEMENTS
ON THE CARSON
and COLORADO

Work on widening the gauge of the
Carson and Colorado railroad, a
property of the Southern Pacific, has
been started, and will be pushed as
rapidly as possible in order to reach
completion by November. 1t is de-
sired to have the work finished by
the time the new road from the south
will reach Keller. More than 200
men are being employed on the work.
Hawthorne, which has been obse-
lete since the Southern Pacific took
hold of the line, once more will be
made an important station, and
Thorne, the nearest point at present,
it is said, will be relegated to near
obscurity.
The company has begun work at
Keller and intends to go north to
Benton. From Nina cut will be
made to the southern California line,
where traffic will be received from
the Tonopah and Goldfield. In order
to eliminate a heavy grade, and save
fifty miles, it is said the station Of
Benton will be cut out entirely.

A BIG Land
DEAL is MADE
near RENO

RENO, Oct. "a $1,000,0 900
ranch deal is about to be consummat-
ed within few miles of Reno. This
is regarded as one of the most ex-
tensive land transfers in the history
of Nevada, including as it does 140,-
900 acres north of Tecoma, Nevada,
and running up into Idaho.
1t is a tract of land known as the
Sparks-Harrell tract. The late gov
ernor at one time had a half inter-
est in it of which he disposed. The
intending purchasers are Mormon
capitalists associated with several
others of Utah, and the amount in
volved is said to be $1,0O0,000.
The promoters of the big deal are
David Eccfes, M. s. Browning. A. NJ.
Patterson and Thomas Snowcroft, all
of Ogden and Salt Lake.
The plan, as was learned from a
prominent resident of this city, is to
colonize the territory thus acquired
under this transfer, with Mormon
settlers, and to establish a mammoth
sugar beet industry and factory
there, which will involve an expen-
diture of a.vast amount of money and
result in the raising and shipping OF
sugar in immense quantities as soon
as the enterprise is well under way
This movement, if carried through
and it is asuredly stated to the Jour
nal that there now remains little diff
ference in the figures between the
agents of the Harrell estate in San
Francisco and the intending pur.
chasers, the moneyed Mormons and
their associates, which difference will

Want INDIANS
neck SAVED

An effort is now being made by q
number of people to have the state
board of pardons take action in the
case of Buckaroo Jack, the Indian
sentenced to be hanged at the state
prison on the 18th day of next
month. The claim is being made that
the Indian in the murder of his
wife, had but followed out the teach
ings of his race ane while punish
ment should be dealt him the death
sentence is too severe.
Under the customs of the Indians
death is the reward for a woman who
proves unfaithful to her husband. 1t
was for this reason that Jack killed
his squaw after she had left him for
another member of the tribe with
whom she was living at the time of
the murder.
Whether the board will take any
action in the matter is not known but
at any rate nothing will probably be
done until after election.
& 1t is also said that number of
people in the section where the crime
was committed and where Jack is
well known are back of the move
nent to save him from the gallows.

1t is declared that the soil is per-
Gectly adapted to the cultivation OF
the sugar beet. and that the inter-
ested parties for months past have
been investigating this section of the
state with the ultimate determination
of securing such a tract of land.
Reports of a deal of this character
and magnitude have been current but
could not be confirmed until yester-
day. and now that these facts have
leaked out. the entire plan is con-
firmed by a prominent business man
of Reno who is in touch with the az

Fred Berry, who is acting in that ca
pacity during the absence of District
Attorney p. A. McCarran, it was
learned that fourteen pounds of high
grade were found on the person of
Pat Flanagan and seventeen pounds
on Tom Conifrey. Immediately aft
er the arrest the cabins of the sus-
pected parties were searched and
about 200 pounds of high grade was
unearthed in one of the cabins and
taken to the MacNamara office and
then to bank vault. This will be
used as evidence.
When the men were arrested one
of them dropped his lunch bucket to
the bottom of the shaft. Whether
through fright or that the bucket was
filed with ore is not known. 1t was
rumored that when the clothes of the
men in the change room were search
ed gun was found concealed in one
of them.
The men were arraigned in Judge
Brissell's court last evening and the
dates set for their preliminary hear
ing. Cunningham's case was set for
10 o'clock this morning and his bail
fixed at $1,000. Flannigan's and Con-
ifreys cases were set for 10 o'clock
Monday morning and the same
amount of bail required. The case
of Turner, on motion of his attorney
H. w. Scheld, was fixed for 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning and on account Of
i his having sick wife and three
children, his bail was fixed at $500
which was furnished and he was re
leased from custody. At $50 O'Clock
last evening Cunningham was releas
ed from custody on the advice of the
acting district attorney, as there was
not sufficient evidence to hold him
When he was arrested no ore wsi
found on his person and the search
of his cabin failed to reveal any o.

1t is understood that high grading
has been going on for some time in
the MacNamara and several days ago
the officials of the mine became cog
infant of the stat of affairs and
placed men at work and the arrest of
the four men is the result Of their
Investigations. When Superintend-
