The Black Patti Show has made
hit with society in New York,
Newport, Saratoga, Lakewood,
Tuxedo, Washington, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. The
smart set in these social centers
were completely captivated by
recent performances by these
merry troubadours, who. are now
on their twelfth American tour,
and it has given them the stamp
of fashion. The swell specialties,
whirlwind sensational dances,
Weber & Fieldonian ebony tinted
choristers, comic characters and
sweet-voiced soloists, so COM
pletely facinated society that it's
leaders have ordained that the
correct thing for the theater is
Black Patti Troubadour's Young
Peoples Matinee, or a Black Patti
oubadours' 'vening box party.
This edict has been so extensively
promulgated that even the high
society white folks south of the
Mason and Dixon lines are almost
as cordial in their greetings for
their Troubadours as those of the
north. In the southland the
Troubadours seem to give more
pleasure and create more entF1u-
siasm among its patrons, especial
ly when singing Southern re-
frains. The Troubadours will

Religious and settlement workers
in Chicago who have heard the story
of unspeakable torture told by Ella
Gingles, championed her cause and
gave her legal counsel and protec-
ton when the states attorney, in
stead of Investigating its truth,
brought against her the charge OF
having stolen lace from her employer
Miss Barrette, n of the two women
alleged to have conducted the
negotiations for the sale of the girl
into white slavery and assisted In
the druggng and torturing of her in
the presence of a man In the Hotel
Wellington, A recent development
in the case was the death of Mrs.
Kenyon, the other woman involved
who had been persuaded to make a
confession of the whole truth and
was expected to tell all she knew
on the stand. Friends of the Gingles
girl believe that the Kenyon woman
was murdered to protect the slave
traders of the city and the men high
er up. Alienists employed by the
state express the opinion that Miss
Gingles was subject to decisions and
that she might have imagined the
whole story of her abuse.

LETTER ON UTAH COPPER.
Brokerage Firm Has Some Interest
ing Figures on Condition.

In a very interesting special letter
on Utah Copper, which has just been
issued the conditions at this prop
erty are clearly outlined. 1t is stated
that during the paist year the devel-
Cpd and partially developed area had
been Increased by eight acres, max
ing a total of 80 acres. There was at
the end Of the year in the fully de-
veloped, partially developed and
reasonably assured reserves, a ton
mage of 100000 tons, of which
Is, 100000 average 2 per CEN copper
1.o per cent copper. In addition to
to the above it is estimated that
there are 40, 900 900 tons of 1.5 per
cent copper ore indicated by drilling.
By figuring the cost of production
on the high grade ore at s cents q
pound and 10 cents for the low
grade, it will be seen that the total
net value of the ore reserves, when
the cappings has been removed, will
amount to $1S8,700,0 0O.
The company is operating two con
contractors, the Copperton and Gar
field plants, the former treating SOC
tons of ore daily and the latter s.
900 tons, a combined production al
$500 tons a day, about one-fifth OF
which ~assaying 2 per e n copper, is
being taken from the underground
slopes and the remainder, assayins
LIS per cent copper coming from
pits by steam shovel.
In all probability additional units
will be added to the mill within the
next year and a half, or before the
new porphyry deposits now being de
veloped will be producing, which
should place the property on an an
nuaI production basis of from so,
100000 to 100, 00U,0 600 pounds. Al
the present time the property is pro
ducing at the rate of approximately
100000 pounds a month with the
min running at capacity.
