Theatre this week, where the Aborn
Comic Opera Company is presenting
the meiodious 1.-THE Fortune Teller"
created by Victor Herbert and Harry
B. Smith.
Miss Morrison proves altogether sat
isfacroryf to Newark audiences. Her
work in THE Fortune Teller is far
ahead of anything she has done this
season. In presenting h dual role OF
Irma. the ballet girl, and Musette, the
reckless gypsy ma&den, h differen-

Her voice is in excellent condition and
seems tireless.
Mr.. Shields is admirably cast as San
dor, the gypsy lover Of Musette. That
tendency to everyday, for which he
has been scolded at various times, was
completely lacking in last nights per-
Torrance. The Gypsy Love Song was
delivered with fine expression and
power. showing particular richness and
feeling in the lower register.
The story OF THE Fortune Teller" Is
well-known to local theatre-goers. A
penniless learns by accident that
Irma, the ballet girl, IL heiress to a
large fortune. Of which she is ignorant.
He promptly asks her hand in mar

the local variety stage meriting high
honors; but for a1l-around excellence
B. A. Rolfe's production Is at"
The stage setting for the RoIfe act is
a masterpiece In vaudeville measures
ments. The lighting effect secured, the
atmosphere" created by the costuming.
and the cool, out-of-door effect formed
a very grateful and pleasing setting for
the medley of music, from the ten
pieces employed. Mr.. Rolfe's number
on the cornet showed ARE excellence
in technique.
The rest of the bill was Just summer
fun, M plenty of it. OF course, Laske's
"Hoboes" were right there with the
funny makeup, the funny dance. and
the funniest rendition of ANY Little
Gir1' that aver hit the vaudeville stage.
Bixley n Fink succeeded last night
in getting a remarkable amount of
personal humor' across the foot
lights, and accomplished the difficult
feat of making the audience laugh with
them as well as at them.
Harry l.. Schroeder's company. pre-
senting THE Lady. the Lobster and the
Wise Guy" afford fifteen minutes of
fun In spots. and Miss Hilda Thomas,
who retains not a little of her old-time
ginger and snap, presents an act of
very much the same flavor, assisted by
Lou Hall.
Joe Mole and Mary O'Neil give a
fairly presentable comedy cycling act
as a curtain-raiser. and the motion pic
lures are particularly funny.

several instances and that at these
points steel would be missing, accord
ing to the original plans which were
used by Drum in his Investigation
Mr.. Sutton said that seven tons more
steel was used in the building thai

that the county had not paid one cent
extra for this.

prospecting and believed that he would go over and see what was in the iron dyke. Rynning staked him to grub and tools.
 After being gone two days, the prospector returned with black piece of rock and asked that it be asSayed. It was the start of the excitement that has followed, the rock assaying 1,OOOS in gold to the ton. Three assays averaged 5OOs in gold.
 Ryanning said nothing to outsiders, but tacking several of the prison attaches, went to the iron dyke and spent last Sunday locating claims. Then the news leaked out and since last Sunday Florence people have covered the country around the dyke for miles with monuments.
 For years prospectors and mining men have passed, crossed and re- crossed the big black dyke in which the strike was made, no one ever sus- pecting that the unpromising looking iron rock carried any gold. It re- mained for the prospector a few days ago to lay bare the secret of the rock s treasure.-Arizona Democrat.

the fourth hole having been put down so far. Underground, the level work at a depth of 37O feet is being advanced toward the scene of the churn drill op- erations.
 The arrival of necessary materials and tools during the past week has permitted the erection of the steel col umns to support the corrugated iron side walls of the concentratOr building to be commenced, and from now on there should be no delay in this work. Other construction now under way at the Miami shaft is the foundation for the new power house, the erection of the boiler house, the completion of the general office building, which should be ready for occupation in about three weeks, and the building of cottages for the accommodation of employees here and there about the property.
 Preparatory to laying the 18,0OO-foot pipe line which is to convey water from the Old Dominion mine to the Miami concentrator, a ditch is being dug. In laying this water main, pipe fourteen inches in diameter will be used. For the purpose of affording water storage for the mill, a steel tank having a capacity of 5OO,0OO gallons will be set up on the Red Springs location near the Pascoe shaft. At the other end of the pipe line on the McLand ranch near the junction of Pinal creek and Miami wash a reser- voir of some kind will probably be installed and in connection with it pumping plant will be put in.
 The Miami concentrates are estimat- ed to average between 30 and 40 per cent copper and the percentage of ex- traction from the ore is between 75 and 80 per cent. The Miami Copper company's monthly expenditure for underground development alone is about 25,OOOS.-Silver Belt.

High Grading Law Adopted for Cobalt.

An Ottawa, Canada, special says: The Senate has passed the high grad ing bill as urged by the Cobalt dele gates headed by Mayor Lang and Reeve Ferland. The amendment makes onus of proof of where ore came from on defendants, not plaintiffs, as before, and sets value of ore effected by bill at cents pound.
 After years of agitation and revision of statue after statue the Senate has at last passed an amendment to the crim- inal code which will prove an effective check to high grading in the Dominion and more particularly Tn the Cobalt camp, where the high grade offers such temptation.
 Briefly the amendment which the Senate has just passed provides that the onus of proof is on the persons up- on whom the ore is found and not up- on the plaintiffs or mine owners. An other section provides against indis- criminate prosecution, and another fixes the value of ore for the possession of which a man can be prosecuted at not less than ' cents a pound. There have been several attempts both in the Dominion and Provincial House to frame a clause that would put check to the high grading known to be pre- valent in the camp. There was some opposition till the recent exposure in the last ore theft cases, but the i'm pression made by the revelations then has altered public opinion.

Seventy Per Cent of Copper Limit
 From Low Grade Ores.

It is important that investors re. member that a net yield of about 7C per cent of the copper is the best that can be expected at present from the low-grade porphyry ores and that such a high efficiency is only possible with the very best milling methods now in use on those ores. Another thing that the investor should remember is that in cheap costs the concentration ratio (that Is how many tons of ore can be concentrated in order to obtain a ton of ofconcentrates)i is an important feature in milling the porphyry ores. The larger the concentration ratio, the lower is the cost of producing the cop per, other things being equal. One of the drawbacks in milling the Cumber- land-Ely ore is the low concentration ratio. The amount of pyrite in the ore is what mainly effects the concen- tration ratio in the experiencing porphyries.-Bisbee Review.

Three damage suits for 25,00OS each have been filed at Florence, Pinal county, against the Ray Consolidated Mines company as a result of the ex- plosion February near kelvin, which destroyed a narrow gauge car and blew seven men to atoms.
 The suits were filed by Mrs. M. P. Griffin of Phenix, who was killed; w. J. Coleman, father of R. P. Coleman of Salt Lake, also killed; the father of W. H. Freeland, also of Salt Lake, likewise among the slain.
 The complaints are based on alleged new information that it was 90 kegs of giant powder planted and forgotten in little tunnel near the railroad, and not a missfre charge of giant powder, that caused the disaster.

Blair Has Biggest Stamp Mill in Nevada

Blair now has a stamp mill equipped with the largest number of stamps of any mill in the State of Nevada. The addition of twenty stamps to the Pitts burg-Silver Peak Gold Mining Con- pany's large mill makes it a l2O-stamp mill. At present ten of these stamps are not yet in service, but it is ex- pected that they will be dropping on or before March lst.
 The building for the additional stamps was completed last week. Last Friday ten of the stamps were started and the other ten would have been started but for delay in receiving certain new parts of the equipment. The new stamps are running very smoothly. With all of the 120 stamps in service the Blair mill will have a capacity of 54O tons per day of 24 hours. -Goldfeld News.

Important Strike On Cleveland Group

An important discovery of zinc car bonate ores has Just been made on the Cleveland group of mines located several miles north of Silver City and which are owned by George H. Utter.
 Mir. Utter has been working a force of from ten to fourteen miners on his property since just before Christmas, developing the great sulphide carbo- mates, having his son, George F. Utter, as superintendent in charge. The lat ter recently placed few men at work on the great gossan outcrop, resulting in the exposure of zinc carbonates and silicates in several places which assay from 40 to 43 per cent zinc.
 At one point a great body of these ores are exposed, the extent of which can only be guessed at with the present showing. As this class of ore can be marketed at a substantial profit either in Kansas City or Oklahoma, Mir. Utter will push the development work as rapidly as possible, preparatory to shipping from ten to fifteen cars of ore

PinaI People Excited By Strike.

Pinal county people are now greatly excited over what they believe to be the greatest gold strike that has been made in this section of Arizona. Doz- ems of claims have been staked out on an iron dyke about three miles east of the territorial prison.
 Recently an old prospector told Captain Tom Rynning, prison super intendent, that he wanted to do some
