The unprecedented demand for
tickets admission prevails, In Chi
cago and the other big cities, the con

this is a new thing and practically the

Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, a close
friend Of Bryan's, arrived today. He
declared Bryan's position on the /
chairmanships is unchanged. Dahl
man is generally credited with having
draft of the platform which is to be
submitted to the convention Dahl
man, however, said while he talked to
Bryan on the subject, that there had
been no platform so far as he knew of
that had been drawn UP.
There is no mystery about it, Dahl
man said, as 1t is generally known
throughout the country, what sort Of
platform on which Bryan IS willing
to stand. When asked whether there
would be an injunction plank, Dahl
man admitted in this respect in the
platform Of the coming convention,
would probably differ from that of
the former Bryan platforms. Dahl
man said nothing has been determin-
ed yet in this respect and that in all
probability the entire matter would
await the probable interview between

FULL HOUSE GREETS
 THE ROYAL CHEF
Comedy of High Order Rules in the Well Known Play
 at the 0rpheum.

The packed house which greeted The Royal Chef" presented at the Orpheum last night got it's moneys worth. The costumes and choruses were all that was expected of a HTS, class show, and while it was not the best in comedy that has appeared here, it was in the top TOW.
 Julia Curtis and William H. Coniey were the life of the play, and 3nerited every bit of tine liberal applause with which they were greeted. ConIey as the Royal Chef made the part one that kept the house in an uprozr while Julia Curtis as a comedienne has seldom if ever been surpassed 5y any one who has appeared here in the past two years. Her impersonations of Anna Held and Eddie Foy were of "a high order.
 The prettiest chorus was the mili- tary medley, which had most pleas ing air and was effectively staged. Conley's song, ''I must go back to Chicago" vas per1aps his cleveres, bit of acting, and called for several enchores.
 The company will, leave here thrs morning for Douglas; where they will appear tonight.

SAVAGE DIRECTORS | PLEASED WITH MINE
Pass Through Bisbee Yester- day After Inspecting the
 Property in ChiriCahuaS.

The direc,ors of the Savage Gold Mining company passed through Bis bee yesterday on their way to the coast after spending several days at the mine and holding their annual directors meeting. The officers of this company are somewhat out of the ordinary as they are all Polish priests. Each of them has his church in Chi sago where he enjoys large congre- gation. The larger part of the money which has been raised for the develop ment of the properties has been raised among the several congregations. When seen by a Review reporter at the train yesterday J. K. Jaholotoli- witch stated that arrangements were made to continue the work with greater energy than ever and that more men would be placed on the pay roll.
 We have been making very satis- factory progress during the past year and feel that we are now in a position to know that we only require money and sufficient development work to make the Savage a shipper and divi- dend payer. We have during the past year sunk shaft to the 200 level land are drifting from that point to the Hedge We have also sunk on the ledge to the depth of ITS feet, but this lis not a satisfactory working shaft. From the tests which have been taken from the mine we are entirely pleased and believe that by sufficient development we will have as fine a property as we wish. We have sui ficient funds to carry on our work and will increase the pay roll as rapidly as it is deemed desirable and busi- ness like. There will be some ma chinery installed during the coming winter and sufficient equipment will be placed to make every thing con venient James Reay, who has charge of the property. has been making ex-
 cellent progress and has given entire satisfaction to the directors. His ltprogress during the past year has ex lceeded by far that which has been
 done during the history of the com 1 pany-"
 The Savage is one of the promising
 properties of the Chiricauhas and has
 been. steadily operating for the pasi four years Under the management of J. A. Lewandwsld a small smelling
 plant was placed on the property
 which was found ill-advised. and since
 that time only development work has
 been continued upon the property.

POOR UNFORTUNATE IS DOOMED ID DIE
Wasted By Great White Plague, Harry Gibson Leaves
 For Tombstone.

Harry Gibson, who halls from Phil adelphia, left Bisbee yesterday for the county hospital at Tombstone to die That seems a cruel thing to say, but no one is so keenly aware of it as the young man.
 Seven months ago he went to Den yer in the hope that the climate would rescue him from the clutches of tne Great White Plague. The altitude WAS too nigh. He had several hemorrhag- es, and nearly dead and broke" beat his way to Fl Paso. There he was un- able to work on account of his weak ened condition and had to depend up on charity for his existence. With times as they are and with naalIs others depending upon the same re sources, if they may be called such, for the necessities of life, he fareo badly.
 Tn addition to his other troubles, catarrh, with which he was afflicted, grew so much worse that he was forced to leave. He had no money, of course, and beat his way to Bisbee on a freight train. When he got here his catarrh was so bad that he could breathe through his ears, while ne wSs so weak from his trip and his other malady, consumption, that 1t is won der he did not fall from the train on his journey. ......-....-
 His case here fell under the atten- tion of a local organization, the Y. M. c. A, who took the matter up with the county physician, one of the supe-- Visors and local justice of the peace. and made arrangements f,r him to go to the county hospital. He is the-e today, with no hope under heaven uf ever regaining ais health, but doomed to slow and certain death. The young man looks to be less than twenty-five years of age, and while he is putting up brave fight for life knows that he is on the losing sidn. snd soon must join the great majority, SO many of whom have gone the route from the disease which is wasting him away.

A TOUCH OF HUMAN NATURE

The newest western play "The Lit. tie Prospector" will be presented by Chic" Perkins and her clever com pany at the orpheum on Sunday alr1 Monday nights. Through the pla, runs depth of humorous feeling that carries the interest of the audience u the final drop of the curtain. Chic Perkins as "The Little Prospector'' imbued the character with so much in terest that she is at all times in evi- dence. The part calls for both com edy and pathos and is interpreted in a manner at once recognized by tue most exacting critics as a perfect ren- dition of the character, swaying her audience with unmistakable magnet ism. The scene display is elaborate. 'The Little Prospector" may be wait ed for with every anticipation of great enjoyment.

RICHARD HARTMAN
 GOES ID $. DAKOTA
"Chicken Dick,' Veteran and Western Character, Seeks
 Treatment for Cancer.

Richard Hartman left for Hot Springs, South Dakota, yesterday. where he goes for the treatment of a cancer of the face and throat. Hart man is one of the old residents of this city and has been one of the very familiar figures on the streets of Bis bee for many years. He has many friends here who will learn with pleas ure of his speedy recovery.
 The mention of tn. name of Dick Hartman, familiarly known as Chick en Dick" brings quickly to mind the name of a picturesque character and one who possesses a wide acqua1nt- ance over the Pacific coast. As a sol dier of the civil war he was a str1k- ing example of patriotism and when Bisbee was in it's swaddling clothes he led the columns of the blue and gray at the recurrence of every dec oration day and stirred the line Of march to the cemetery with the snare drum or the fife. The semblance of the long roll which gave a lingering echo of the great catastrophe walcn for four years shook the nation as 1t was never shaken before or since was always great pride of the old veteran and as it reechoed down the canyons. of the Mule mountains 1t stirred many heart which always beat responsive to the first burst of patriotism.
 If the fates decree that Hartman shall never enjoy again the free air of the west he loved so well, his memory for the many things he dIo in life will be cherished by all who knew his worth.

JIM ANDERSON,
 0LD TIMER, IN
 FROM HACH|TA
Original Owner of Anderson Apache Mine-Wounded By Indians in Early Days-HaS An Interesting History.


 Jin Anderson visited Bisbee yester. day and was shaking hands with ont friends. He is a typical westerner. His word is his bond. He has follow ! ed the pursuit of mining for many years and has been crowned with success at last. He is the origina, owner of the Anderson-Apache mine and is today the largest owner in tha, company. His present occupation is that of Q merchant and he enjoys his passing hours in chatting with friends of former and more strenuous years as he weighs out a sack of sugar over the rustic counter at Hachita.
 | It Is not known by all that the fam. ous AndersonrApache mine was one of the greatest silver producers or the entire southwest, yielding s100.UUu worth of silver ore. Today that prop erty Is shipping from two to four cars a week, much of it being the best ! grade of copper ore which is treated at the Copper Queen smelters at Doug las.
 But Anderson passed througA many of the hardships which have charac- terized a life at the front and which tries the very souls of men in their heroic winning of the west" Every step he takes is characterized by a limp. the result of the bullet of a lurking Apache who was the foe to every prospector in the early sos Tn a desperate engagement on the thirtieth day of March, 1883, Anderson was struck on the knee cap with a bullet which glanced and nit John nevipn hiS oOnapa y,iop r., t1,o shioh infiictihg a flesh wound. Tais was while he was journeyiag from the Plyas to the Antnas valley, at that time one of the very lonesome sec tions of the entire southwest
 This was during the many raids of the blood-thirsty Apaches when they were carrying their relentless warfare wherever the pioneer had pitched ais tent or was lifting aloft tn torch of civilization.
 The day before Anderson's engage ment with the redskins, Judge Mo Comas and his wife were ruthlessly murdered just beyond the borders of Silver City, N. M, and their little boy Charlie was carried into captivity and never heard of again. w. P. Mo Comas. another son of Judge and Mrs McComas, was recently cleared for murder in Los Angeles.
 Later when General Crook, one of the greatest Indian fighters, who in reality rounded up old Geronimo and sent him to life of penal servitude, recovered from the Indians the rife and a watch, valued at s150 which were wrested from Judge McComas upon his death and returned them to the family.
 It Is through similar experiences that Jim Anderson passed when he was securing for his future years the Anderson-Apache mine. The pay ments which he has received and the ore which he has mined from this rroperty have made him independent for the rest of his life. But he loves the environments of the desert land, and the stiffness of the mountain fastness or the valley is music to him, and he chooses to live near to nature than to spend his money and declining years in the surroundings of his Hhildhood or the hum-drum of the great city.

REYNOLDS Is
 CONFIDENT OF
 CAMPS FUTURE
Secretary of Board of Trade Spends Two Days at Syl- vanite and Finds Everyone Boosting For Success.

G. K. Reynolds, secretary of the Board of Trade, returned yesterday rom El Paso and other cities, where
 he has been for several days in the interests of the local organization. lie stated yesterday that his visit to the Pass city had no significance aside from representing local concerns ln matters of rate. This was entirely disposed of to the satisfaction of ali parties.
 Upon ais return Mir. Reynolds spent day and two nights at the new tom of SylvanIte, and expressed general surprise at what he found.
 T did not find any knockers there," said he, but did find a goodly mum Der who are loud in their praises or the future of the camp. I found gen eral activity on every hand, and found also people coming and going. mostly going, during my stay there. The stage lines are generally in business, and, the three autom0mbiles were bus fly engaged in carrying the passeng- CTS to and from the camp. I under stood that the stage line was little overdone, and two of the auto cars have been taken of"
 Asked as to the number of build ings which have already been erected. Mir. Reynods stated: T think that there are at least one hundred build ings under course of construction, or which have been suddenly i'll proyis- ed. Some of these have been made partly Of tents. and SyfVanite gives one an idea of a tent city. The buiids ihg are Of a temporary nature, and if the camp proves permanent these will be suppianted later by new ana better ones. But there is enough there to give an idea of the faith which is being manifested in the camp and or what the people think of it.
 'I was told that the Aguirre Mer- cantile Company, which recently has finished it's store building, Is prepar- ing to put in bank. saw a large safe on the ground, which had lusE been unloaded, and was informed that this was for that purpose. There are already four saloons on the ground and four more to be blown in"
 "But the general opinion of those who have a right to an opinion is to the effect that SyNanita will be a permanent camp. I was making in- uuiries of several men of means, of Colorado, and all stated that they be- Heved the camp would make good and that the locations already made would rebound to the benefit of those who have made them. Some of these me'- stated, however, that they believed 1t would be better for those having mon ey to invest to wait till the smoke cleared away and the heterogeneous crowd which just now comprises the camp was adjusted. In so doing 1t would give better chance to see just wfat there really is in Sylvanite.
