DEAF MUTES MAKE
LUCKY STRIKE
PAGE BROTHERS ENCOUNTER
RICH ORE AT GOLDEN
ARROW.

GOLDEN ARROW, Feb. 10.-One
of the biggest strikes of Southern
Nevada was made a few days ago
by the Page boys, the lucky mutes,
on their Copper Spot claim, situated
in the Golden Arrow district. The
ledge has a northwest and southeast
course and dips to the south II
was caught by a tunnel that the Page
boys are driving into the north side
of Dead Horse mountain. They are
in six feet of solid quartz from 4
we'll defined foot wall and it is all
ore that will easily average $40 per
ton in gold and silver. BY sorting,
shipping ore to the value of $3.50 to
$500 per ton can be obtained. Pre-
vious to driving the tunnel, the Page
boys ran an open cut across the
ledge on the surface, and found it 10
be about 80 feet wide. Good surface
values crop out ocross the entire
ledge.
This strike has been made within
| 800 feet of the end line of the Peribo
claim, owned by Jack McCrimmon
and can be easily traced across the
Desert claim, owned by Eugene
Licke, and onto the Don claim, the
property of Miss L. l.. Gilman. The
Pare hrotherS will continue the tun.
mel until the ledge has been cross
cut and will then do other work ne

HARPER COMPANY
SCORES Big HIT
CROWDED HOUSE TO WITNESS
PRODUCTION OF THE
CHORUS LADY"

The Georgia Harper Company |
scored an emphatic hit last night in
The Chorus Lady," and that's going |
some. The play smacks of the race
track, and is redolent of the dressing
room. We don't see the track, but
we get the atmosphere. It's great
stuff Patricia O'Brien is queen of
burlesque, and Georgia Harper is
Patricia O'Brien.
Pat is all right; she is on the
square, and no funny business goes
with her, nit. She's engaged to Dan
Mallory, a race horse man, and a
good fellow at that, but the first
time his love is up against the trust,
he falls down, and that doesn't
sound good to Pat. But Dan isn't
the first man who went up against
the trust, and got it in the map.
He's just simply down and out, when
appearances are against the girl, and
she clinches the situation by declar-
ing herself away in deep. She doesn't
even throw Dan life preserver, and
she won't let him knock the block
off the guy who's responsible for the
contretemps. You don't get that on
the racetrack, or in the dressing
room. Mercy, no.
Georgia Harper is there with the
goods. A sterling girl with the slang
of the track and the chorus, she is
always in the money. She is the best
natured girl in the world, and her
chief care is the preservation of her
sister; she knows that she is sure of
Dan That's how she gets into the
trouble. She is woman to the core
even when it looks as if the game
has gone against her, but she helps
out the little sister, who ought to be
spanked and even with her slang
she is queenly when she tells hel
lover that she has no use for hin
because he fell down the first time
he was called upon to stand up. Il
