Cousin" The play was first produced
at the Olympic theatre, Broadway,
New York. on Oct. Is, 1855, with Laura
Keene. who was then New York's fore
most actress-manage as Florence
Trenchard. Joseph Jefferson as Asa
Trenchard. Edward Askew Sothern as
Lord Dundreary and Mrs. Sothern as
Georgina. At that time the part Of
the nobleman consisted Of only forty
seven lines.
For 1000 nights the production filled
the theatre, and its popularity was en-
;irely due to Sothern's creation Of the
character of Lord Dundreary. II was
the first Of the Tong run" plays in New
York. From this country the play
went to England, where it broke all
records for long runs. Despite the
caricature of the English lord, Soth-
ern's Dundreary pleased so well that
his first engagement at the Haymar-
ket theatre lasted 800 nights.
The elder Sothern really made the
part He obtained from Miss keene
permission to rewrite il, also to intro
duce gags" He revamped It until the
part had only the merest connection
with Tom Tayior's creation, And once
he had started on his task, he contin-
ued for years to add drolleTies to it.
Our American Cousin" had met
with one or two reflections before Miss
Keene gave her attention to it. And,
perhaps she. too. would have passed it
by if Joseph jefferson had not CHANGED
to read it and like it.
Jefferson saw an opportunity for
himself in the play, and in his bioEra-
ply says: Il was quite selfish enough
to recommend the play for production"
Continuing. Mr.. Jefferson says: Poor

was being read looking quite discon-

Sothern as Dundreary.
Exceptional interest has been awak-
ened in advance to see Sothern's per-
Torrance in the role Of Dundreary. For
fifty years the name of Dundreary has
been associated with that of Sothern.
and the opportunity TO see this famous
character again live upon the stage
will be an event eagerly taken advan-
tage of by old and new theatregOers
alike. Since Sothern's earliest entrance
upon the stage he has been importuned
to portray Dundreary. the role in

be the most humorous comedy imper-

We're started up on last Wednesday.
Since that time everything has gone
well. Work is being pushed in three
places. all Of which is resulting in a
good grade of shipping rock. Three
more drills are ordered and will
bring the equipment up to six small
size and two big machines.
On the lower level the best ore is
coming out. A stope has been in
stalled in the crosseut of the lode
here, and is being pushed up a width
of six feet. Three samples taken
from this width at random, yester-
day, returned $9S.40, $117 and $3.50
respectively per ton. This material
breaks down around 500 to the
ton.
A drift along the lode on this same
level is we'll in toward the middle of
the vein. 1t is going in on a big
angle and makes but little progress
across the formation. The face here
is of ore that assays about $25 per
ton. This rock is good enough to
ship.
The level above is now under
steady development, through the
winze connection. Thirty-three feet
of ore is exposed here for a length OF
so feet. The drift is continuing
north, and shows little change.
Everything on this level for the
