says. "In fact, this urban open-air
life has a number of pleasant features.
There is a sense of remoteness OF be-

Looking out over the roofs the
scene is often one of great beauty.
The electric light streaming upward
on the tall buildings of the neighbor-

PROGRESS AT
CANANEA CAMP
DR.. RICKETTS, TELLS OF NEW
ELECTRICAL POWER PLANT
THAT WILL SUPPLY ALL
MINES SOON

DIR. l.. u. Ricketts,. general manager
of the Greene Cananea Copper Co. of
Cananea, Mexico, was n guest Of the
Copper Queen hotel yesterday and left
in the evening for the big copper camp
across the border, says the Bisbee
Review. DIR. Ricketts, is most opti-
mistic OF conditions in Cananea and
many improvements are under way
and planned for the future. At the
smelter new revcrberatory furnace
is being installed which viii add
greatly TO the efficiency of this de-
partmcut which last month turned out
4.250GOO pounds of copper alone.
The electrical department is also
being enlarged and made more ef-
hcient and it is intended that light
and power shall be furnished 10 mines
two miles distant from the plant where
heretofore the power has been gem
Grated by a smaller plant at the mine
itself. At the Puerticitis mine the out
put has been very heavy and is being |
increased as more territory is being |
opened up. The ore at this operation /
is quarried out I'm bulk and then sort
ed and is especially well suited for
smelling purposes as il carries a large
percentage OF lime and assists in the
smelling of ores carrying a less
amount.
II is the opinion of DIR. Ricketts, that
the copper market will show a steady
Improvement as business conditions
all over the country are taking on "a
more hopeful look and no industry is
more responsive to improved condi-
tons than that Of copper.

That IL will receive a splendid pro-

II is well in this connection TO cite
from the criticism of the opening,
which was written by William Winter,
now the dean Of dramatic critics, for
New York Tribune lie said:
Mrs Fiske's fmpersonation Of
Becky Sharp revealed a distinct ideal.
and il was remarkable for its physical
as well as mental brilliaEcy, its clear
and pure verbal utterance, and its
splendid energy Of sustained, yet
thoroughly concealed, artistic effort
The element in Becky's character
which IS chiefly fascinating is her
sprightIy and refreshing intolerance Of

This attribute of the character was
made delightfully."- clear BY Mrs Fiske,
and the actress also consistently main
tanned a certain feverish buoyancy and
gIIttering excitement It would be use
less 10 make Becky Sharp as caIlous
and as fippantly frivolous on the stage
as she often is in the book. for that
would defeat dramatic purpose Mrs
Ffske furnished what the dramatist
ouitted-Becky's idea Of her seIf-tus-
ttfcation: for, very artfuily, she laid a
strong emphasis on the memory OF
Becky's ilI-treated and misguided
childhood. and also on her inherent in
ability to escape from the blight OF
evil ways. The performance. more
over had wonderful variety-its de-
meanor fuctuating from demure gray
ity and sweet candor to mordant Bit
terness, and its moods OF feelings rang
ing from icy sarcasm and merry ban
ter to passionate excitement and fren-
zied despair. The personality COM

IforId has not, IN our day. been bet
ter portrayed; and, as general judg-
meut on this play and this perform
ance il may with truth be said that
Mr. Mitchell has got more out OF the
book Of Vanity Fair for dramatic
purposes than anybody else that ever
touched the subject. and that Mrs
Fiske has given to one Of the most

atoms Of fiction a visible, beautiful and

Converse, who put something like
one hundred thousand dollars in its
production and the first year that II
toured the country the encourage was
so Elaborate that no theaterS could
hold sufficient money to pay its ex-

It was only an indication OF the in

ing a conference with the railway
managers. The carmen are seek
ing for an increase in pay and
and other concessions. The COM
mittees were in St. Paul last year
seeking for more pay, but, like
other railroad employees, they failed
to attain their object. 1t is ex-
pected they will be able to meet

Northern Pacific and General Man.

in couple of days.
The machinists' committees from
the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific are still in session in St.
Paul. They have been here about
month and occasionally meet with
the managers. Both sides have
agreed to maintain strict secrecy in
regard to the negotiations but from
the fact that the committees are
still in St. Paul it is believed that
progress looking toward settle
ment is slow.
1t is reported that the black
smiths are the next railroad en-
ployes who are liable to come and
demand an increase in pay. Vice
President Burns of the railway
blacksmiths union has been in St.
Paul couple of days comforting
with some of the railroad officials,
looking into certain matters which
the blacksmiths would like to have
adjusted. 1t is likely that con-
ference between a committee of
blacksmiths and officials, will be
asked for later in the summer, al
though nothing definite in that di-
rection seems to have been devel-
oped yet.-St. Paul Dispatch.

A lady who understands advertis-
ing says mo lady wishes to be
looked upon as shopping fiend !;
she does not care to go into store
and have a merchant show all his
stock in order to find out whether
he keeps what she wishes to purchase
and whether the article is sold at a
price she can afford. It is much
easier and pleasanter to look thru
the advertisements of paper than
it is to bore the clerks and waste her

the advertisements in paper sta
ting articles for sale with prices, will
keep much of the money that goes

MEN BUILD CITIES

1t is we'll to have good resourc-
es, but resources without the
right kind of men to handle them
never build a city, while on the
other hand the right kind of men
with very few resources fire.
quently build very big and
healthy cities.
This is absolutely true. All
over the west there are towns
and cities that testify to this
effect. Certainly natural advan-
tages do much toward making a
city grow; but there is a human
element that enters into the up
building of any city or any state.
If the community spirit is OPTIC
mistic and aggressive, the city
will usually go ahead. If that
spirit is pessimistic or ultra con-
sentative, stagation will ensue.
Towns are built; they do not
grow. -Phillipsburg Mail.

But be not deceived. Remember
that your home dealer is here to

people to try to get something for
nothing, but the time when they
can do this has not come as yet.
Nor is it liable to come this summer.

can give you as much for your
