AMATEURS AT THE
 JEFFERSON THEATRE,

A fine audience greeted the opera Captain Cooley" at the Jefferson the atre last night. No amateur perform ance has gone better nor been more captivating nor more enthusiastically received Unlike most amateur per formances the curtain went up on time and there was not a hitch nor halt during the whole performance.
 Very few of the cultured audience were aware of the fact that this opera was the production of one of Bir- minghams musicans-Miss Monetta Stribling. To realize that she origi mated the plot, wrote the libretto and composed the score, wrote all the clever dialogues and songs, staged it and was her own orchestral accompaniest, is really wonderful. The audience showed it's appreciation of this fact by its con- tinued applause of the young artist whenever she appeared. The plot abounds in humorous and delightful situations and the music from the brilliant overture to the farewell chorus was not only full of merit, but was bright and captivating. This opera was written during Miss Striblings school days, except two or three solos especially written for last nights stars, which showed musical growth in her more subtitle handling of harmonies and keener feeling for tone color.
 Erin Farley as Captain Cooley sus- tained his well-earned reputation not only as an easy actor but delightful t,. p..I sympa tn etic baritone. It showed to fine advantage not only in the sentl- mental ballads but in the more pomp- ous military songs particularly Cooley of Company K"
 Charlie Brown as Lord Montmorency, the Englishman, looked the part from his costume, "don't cher know" to his most obstreperous eye-glass His ac- cent, gait and costume were to the manner born, and his splendid tenor voice was never heard to better ad- vantage, especially in the duet with Miss Wood.
 Miss Annie Lou Wood as Elizabeth was charming. Her voice is a pure, clear soprano of great range and mar velous fexibility. Her rendition Of "Chanson Pervencale" was brilliant in the extreme.
 Miss Weir has voice of great power and sweetness and her charming per sonality made itsself felt in her im- personation of Helene.
 One of the most beautiful scenes was that in which Miss Weir's heart was pierced by the dart of cupid in the person of little Catherine Albert. The tiny cupid was exquisite in her dainty winged costume, and her charm and grace as well as her sweet voice ere ated greatest enthusiasm.
 Too much praise cannot be given the and gay straemers "tripped the light fantastic toe" and tying their bonnet strings under their chin, tied the man ly hearts of those debonaire young men within. All these did excellently we'll the chorus work going with fine rythm and spirit
 But the review would be incomplete not to mention the excellent acting of Fred Denson as Fritz and A. H. Hfrsch as Sambo, who by their tricks of speech and antics kept the audience in gay good humor The minstrel spe- cialties between acts were also very effective mirth provokers. Many re- quests have come in for repetition, the dates of which will be announced later.

NORTH VERDE MINE
LONG INACTIVE, RESUMES
From Thursdays Daily)

P'rom Thursdays Daily
The starting up of the North Verde
which has been closed down for two
years, was the principal incident of in.
terest in the mining world of Jerome
during the past week, says the Jerome
News. The North Verde is one of the
Oldest companies operating in the Jer-
ONE Verde mining district, and one of
the first companies to install powerful
machinery for development work. The
property is located on the north side
of the United Verde and east of the
Arkansas and Arizona. The principal
work on the property is a 375-foot
shaft, and the News is informed it is
the intention of the company to con-
tinue this shaft down to the 1OO0-foot
point, when drifting will be started.
James Movies has again taken charge
of the work.
WrOk on the Cleopatra still eontiu-
ues to open large bodies of ore of
high grade. Sinking has been started
on the ore body and as depth is at
tanned the ore continues to hold high
values. The ore bodies now exposed
in the Cleopatra establishes beyond
any possible doubt the fact that Jer.
ONE will soon have another great pro-
Queer. At the Cleopatra eompany's
smelter President and General Mana
ger Hull is rushing preliminary work
in preparation to starting up. The
weighing scales have been installed.
and the ore, coke and coal bins are
about completed. All of this work is
being done in manner SO that all |
material can be handled most eeonom-
ieally.
At the Copper Chief work has been
stopped on the IOO0-foot tunnel, and
men are now at work picking up some
caves and retimbering parts of the
main workings in this mine. Later the
tunnel will be cotinued. The examina-
ton again of this rich mine by noted
experts, would indicate that capitalists
are again negotiating for its purchase.
Diamond drill experts were in Jer-
ome during the week looking over the
Arkansas & Arizona, and negotiating
for contracts for doing the drilling on
his mine, and were successful in clos
ng he contracts. The experts express
ID themselves as much pleased with
