its original state lit was too vigorous a
satire on Britain; and Britons do not

Even as "An Englishman's Home

play that has been sprung on Lon

The son of Du Maurier, who wrote

at the pride of Englishmen. Major
Guy du Maurier wrote the play while
he was in South Africa and had a per-

forth in his satire the assertion that
Englishmen are not what they used

Comedy Hit

The Umpire at the Princess was
praised by every newspaper critic in
San francisco. The unanimity of press
reports has been indorsed by the pub
lie and the result has been a week S
success for the, production.
Though the plot of The Umpire is a
trifie nebulous at times no one looks
for coherent story in musical COM
edy. There is clever idea back of
the various scenes. however. and this
idea is brought out in what has proved
to be an entertaining manner.
Fred Mace is the star of the show
and is happy to find himself in a part
which he created and won fame in
during long season in the larger east
ern cities. He is repeating his former
success. His baseball narrative in the
hrss act, where he tells of an unfortu-
nate circumstance which befell him
while umpiring a. baseball game, has
become a classic and is as fine a bit

MASON VALLEY
IN LIMELIGHT
Many Stories Are Started as a
Result of Drop in Price
of Stock.

It is reported here that Henry Crumb,
the well known mining engineer. who is
prominently Identified with the Ray Con-
solidated and the Inspiration Copper com
panies in a consulting capacity. has been
at work at the Mason Valley company S
mines for more than week past, check
ing up on the reports and figures COM
piled by the cOmpanys own engineers.
What this means is g matter that has
been calling forth considerable specula-
tive comment during the past two or
three days and particularly since the
bear story on the Mason Valley com
pany purposes was printed in the BOs-
ton News Bureau last week. In some
quarters the impression prevails that Mr..
Crumb the impression prevails that Mr..

the chance to subscribe for the talked-of
H,e0.000 worth of convertible bonds.
Others profess to believe that they see in
control Of the company and an effort on
the part of the supposed purchasing
crowd to batter down the price of the
stock so that weak holdings may be gath
cred in and the average price affecting
the control thus reduced.
The directors of the Mason Valley COM
pany should be in session in New York
right now. and if they are not il will be
only few days until they do get togeth-

rival Of George +. Gum from the In

here, is all that the directorate is now
waiting for.
While the price of the stock has been
lowered to a point well under s. a share
during the past day or two. the best post
ed men in the company who reside here
declare that people will be foolish to per
NIT any game of bluff to deprive them
of their holdings As a meter of fact
such men are now picking up the cheap
stock whenever they get a chance. know
ing full well that, no matter what should

not possibly detracJ from the value of
the mine, which now has double the pres
ent selling price Of the stock in sight in
its developed oTe bodies.
Another thing that can be banked upon
is the fact that GeorGe Z. Gum, general
manager and chief stakeholder in the
company. viii never lend himself to any
scheme that cOntemplates the robbery Of
the small shareholders in the company.
Should d deal be made for the control. or
something else of equal Importance be

say the posted ones. should not lose their
nerve and sacrifice their holdings in Ma

accomplished without any effort at max

and has really been done under curtail-

The Hampton stOpe made no shipments
during the first half of the month. but

laid off at the Florence during the last
few days because there was so much ore
already broken in the mine that the mill
could not keep up with it.
Although there is now an enormous
amount of high grade in sight in the Flor

made except such as is necessary to be
