Bridgeport, Aug. 24--In reply to
Beard to Mayor Lee concerning the

New Haven, Conn,
August 20, 1908.
Rev. Gerald II. Beard, Bridgeport, CT.
My Dear Sir:--lt has just come to
my notice. through the publication In
the Bridgeport newspapers of your
correspondence with Mayor Lee, that
you entertained some objection to the
recent production of "Sapho" at my
theater in that city as we'll rs to the
methods used In advertising the play.
That your communication was not ad-
dressed to me in the first instance,
rather than to the citys chief magis-
trate, is the only point to which l de-
sire to take exception.
AS a heavy taxpayer in Bridgeport
as well as in other cities of Connect
cut and as an amusement manager
with a clientele recruited In the large
majority from ladies and children, IL
is naturally my desire and my purpose
| at all times to exclude from my thea
ter anything that may SAVIOR of I'm
morality or offend the decencies.
As regards the production OF
"Sapho" I can assure you that pre-
scented an expurgated version OF the
play, one that was revised under my
personal supervision and presented In
one Of my New Haven theaters last
| season.
So far as ] am aware no fault wa.

I am not aware either that anyone In

that, II you will confer with anyone
who saw the play In New Haven OF

Gold Circle was another camp
which | visited. | believe it will
make good ultimately. as there is a
great deal of porphyry and fair
surface showing. What it will turn
out to he ultimately cannot say nor
can anyone. There are no big bp lies
of high grade which have been ex-
posed nor has ore in shipping quanti-
ties been found. When left 35 feet
was the deepest hole in the entire
camp. 1t had fairly good showing
for the amount of work done.
Whether the work being done will
prove 1t deep mining camp | can
not say. What it needs, like other
new camps, is steady development.
II regret as citizen of this state
the reports of enormous claims of
great bodies of rich ore are made
when there is in truth little to be said
except that a small rich streak, in
most cases of knife blade proper
lions, has ben encountered. II does
the state an undeserved injury, so
great an injury in fact that after
while man with legitimate prop
osition in Nevada will be unable to
enlist eastern capital at all. It is
much better to let the state go on its
merits. They will bring more in the
end"

MIZPAII COMING
STEADILY AHEAD.
Development Resuming-eonhdeh'e
in the District Running High

That MiZpah is due TO come Tor
ward with another boom during the
year is the belief of T. F. BannlSah,
one of the leading mining men OF
that section. expressed in a personal
letter to H. c. Herrick of Ely. HIS
description of the work underway
there will without doubt be en-
couragin to owners of property IN
that district. The letter says III part
We have sunk the Butte No smart
to depth of ~ feet and have a
continuous ore chute from depth OF
80 feet to the bottom. The ledge Is
six feet wide in the bottom OF the
shaft from eight inches to two feet
of which is ore that carries from !
per cent to 30 per cent of copper,
$3.50 in gold and ST ounces silver.
We also encountered chute in the
shaft at the junction of two Lodges
that pans well in gold.
Quite contrary to the knockers
version of the camp the lodges widen
with depth and improve in gold and
silver values, instead of pinching.
The copper ores are continuous where
the copper is enclosed in tale, spar
or quartz. The north and south
lodges appear to be the big copper
lodges, into which, the east and west
lodges have brought great deal of
spar and jasper from the lime for
nations that lie on either side.
We have discovered that the gold
chutes lie at the functions of the
north and south and east and west
lodges and have since been panning
gold everywhere on the functions.
We are now sinking the Copper Jack
shaft and obtained good paintings
from quartz and fine stuff at depth
of 50 feet. We shortly start drift
ing 100 feet to cut the junction of
two lodges from which we obtained
500 gold values on the surface.
| am now betting 200 TO one that
we shall develop mines here and big
ones Let one lease and the leasers
are sacking fine gold ore on the
surface. You can confidently expect
a boom here this summer that will
surpass anything in this section of
the country but am not caring to
now until we get a little
more development work done.

1t is now practically certain that,

have awarded a contract for the con-
struction of 20 stamp mill on its
lode properties at Blackhorse and the
work Of getting power plant construc-
ton under way at the two sites on
Baker creek, will also be well in
hand. This, in brief, is the informa-
tion released by John w. Cawley,
previous to his departure for Boston
yesterday noon.
For the past ten days Mr.. Cawley,
with d. Austin Brown, the big ashes
tos manufacturer; c. w. Burnham,

tail of the business in hand will be

that of placing the great 16 and Is
mile bitches in trim to deliver water
for the big hydraulic machines at the
Osceola placers, is to be commenced
at once, it will be only a few weeks
until the washing out of gold is I'M
der way. J. II. Marriott, the super
intendont, has gone to camp to place
men at work on the bitches and
fumes and. as the amount of repairs
to be made is going to cost only
about $4,000. it is evident that there
is not great deal to do. or that
much time will be consumed in do
ing 1t.

The Osceola placers are reputed to
be the richest in Nevada, and in
the early days they produced heavily.
When things seemed to be at the
best, a hard. dry season came on and
there. was no water on that side of
the range to supply the hydraulic
giants that had been installed. The
old company then went practically
broke in constructing great bitches
around and through the mountains
to supply the water. The ground
which the bitches ran was
