Lena Rivers" dramatization O.
Mrs. Mary j. Holmes well known and
widely read book by Beulah POINTER
will be presented at the Grand nexl
Tuesday, Mar. 8. matinee and night
under the direction of Burton Nixon
The production will be the same as
that which was given the comedy dur.
ing its metropolitan runs, and the
cast will be of uncommon strength.
Mrs. Holmes book was presented to
the public over fifty years ago. It's
success was immediate and each sue
ceeding generation has read the story
and laughed at it's peculiar comedy
and cried with sympathy at its pathos.
The play has been so dramatized
that it adheres very closely to the
story as woven by Mrs. Holmes. The
play is divided into four acts-one
located at Slocumville, Mass, and the
last three in the south. Much of the
Charm of the book lay in the clever
ness with which the characters were
drawn and in the atmosphere sur
rounding the scenes, and the adapters
were careful to retain in the play all
these things, which made the book
such interesting reading. Miss Poyn-
ter's dramatization of Lena Rivers"
is described as being exceedingly clev-
er.
Three Twins" will come to the
Grand opera house Wednesday, a-arch
10th. This is the best musical comedy
that has been produced in years. 1t
has good plot and many novel fea-
lures. The music is fascinating and
two-thirds of the audience, on leaving
the theater are humming or whistling
some of the numerous melodies which
so greatly please them.
The Three Twins" is called 1.-THE
Ben Hur" of musical comedies" be-
cause it is the largest musical attrac-
ton in America The amazon cleo
trio aerial swing is the largest scenic
effect ever staged, with the exception
of the chariot race in Ben Hur" The
faceograph is another one of the
many electric effects that helps to
make Three Twins" the smartest
of all musical attractions.
The costumes are gorgeous end in
clude eight of the handsomest Pari-
sian directoire gowns ever brought to
America.
The company is headed by Victor
Morley who created tae title role
when the show was produced in Chi
cago at the Whitney, and includes Eva

RICH GOLD ORE
IN WHITE PINE
Assessment Work DiSCIoSeS a
High-Grade Vein Where
None Was Expected.

Gold ore which assays from 500 to $1,000
a ton has been opened in the Bald Noun
tam district White Pine county, Nevada,
threatening a rush Of prOspectOrs TO that
section. The find was made when Jacob
Mahir was doing assessment work on q
claim that he had owned for several
years.
Last spring Lee Johnson found near the
claim float which it was said, assayed
So 900 a ton in gold AMI 1900 ounces in sill
Yer, but extended prospecting failed TO
disclose the ledge from which it came
The flOaT was white quartz and the ledge
struck by Mahir Is pronounced IDENTICAL
ly the same material
The fin1 was entirely unexpected. M9hir
had no iGea he was near d bonanza when
lie looked for an easy place to DO the
annual assessment work and picked oct a
spot on The hillside that looked as though
it would be right. He dTOvs a tunnel in
ten feet and was getting ahead fast when
the roof caVed in. He Cleaned the drift
out and went on working AMI came TO
solid formation in about ten feet more,
where he found granite with the quartz
ledge that promises to make him for
tune.
The point where he struck 1t is about
fifteen feet from the surface and tends 10
prove the contention Of those familiar
with the district that rich mines now
covered with wash would some day be
discovered there. All down the gulch be
low the ledge placer gold can be found
and now that such high values are found
in the ore it is probable more diligent
prospecting will uncover good diggings.
