The starting of work on the prop

is a vein of exceptional strength and
rich in lead, silver and gold Many
careful tests taken from the different
workings along the vein gave returns
running from $40 to upwards up ST.
900 per ton, besides showing large
quantities of good grade shipping and
milling ore. While 1t is impossible al
the present time TO estimate the value
O; such showing, yet the actual ore
in sight gives to the entire group very
high values, both actual and prospec.
tive. The whole group can be easily
and economically developed by the
main tunnel which is already under
way from the Winona lode which will
cut the Vestal vein about 900 feet
deep and from which mostly all other
veins can be reached by means OF
cross-cuts. 1t is adjacent to the rail

stands that artistic conductor, Anton
Heindl, who has contributed SO much
toward making the opera an American
triumph. Before joining The Golden
Butterfly company he was for years
musical head Of the entire Klaw and
Erlanger forces. For three years he
was director Of the Metropolitan opera
house orchestra, New York. and has
thus conducted for some of the great
est singers in the world. Although
full of "reminiscences of people famous
upon the stage, Mr.. Heindl is of such
retiring disposition that he Is rarely
induced to tell any personal anecdotes
of them. As a conductor, Mr.. Heindl
has an easy, graceful way that carries
the people upon the stage and the Or
chestra with him with apparently no
effort. Unlike many men who have
achieved prominence in his line, Mr..
Heindl's methods are OF the mild sort
at rehearsal, and consequently the
troubles of the stars and chorus alike
are fewer than they are with many
musical directors.
