The electrical effects were especially beautiful and reflect immense credit on the designers
 The color scheme was blue and white throughout. and the walls and balcony were entirely covered with pretty bunting and electrical devices The ceiling, which had been retint- cd for the occasion. was besprinkled with electrical stars. giving the eff feet fl the heavenly dome. and the procenium arch was decorated in the same manner.
 An American flag. done in colored lChts. swung above the picture of George Washington al the back of the stage and along the balcony the various gmhloms of the different Masonic lodges were shown. These included the Scottish Rites. the Knights Templars. the Mystic Shriners. the Blue Lodge. the Royal Arch Chapter. and the Eastern Star. Alongside of these emblems were the jewels of the various lodges. At the rear of the balcony a golden ladder depicted Faith. Hope and Charity
 The ante rooms were comfortably furnished as the rest rooms and these also had been decorated with the Masonic emblems. Dancing commenced shortly before 10 o'clock and the grand march was announc ed at 10 o'clock. This was led by Worshipful Master Frank R. Clark and Mrs Clark.
 Supper was served shortly before midnight and three sittings were necessary. Particular attention had been given to the floor and ii was in excellent conditien and the music was also good.

BAD ROADS HOLD UP MILL

The resuming of crushing at the Cinema mill has been delayed on account of the bad trails and the tying up cf the railroad. and the consequent impossibility of getting ore to the mill As soon as traffic conditions permit the stamps will be set to work and it is probable that operations will be continued for some considerable time without in terruption.
 Scrafford, Sharrard, Golden & Ott, who are operating on the divide between the head of Cleary and Little Eldorado have about 70 tons for shipment and at least as much will be sent in from the Rhoads & Hall claim on Bedrock creek. Two loads of RhoadS ore are at Ridgetop and three cars are at Chdtanika

GREEN STUFF IS BURNT UP

As result of the furnace becom ing overheated the smaller green house at the Rickert gardens was destroyed by fire on Thursday after noon. The green house contained all of the early planting and these were all destroyed, which means that Mir Rickert will not be able to have his truck on the market nearly so early as in former years, Nearly all of the glass in the green house was destroyed and the total damage amounts to about $l,OOO. The chemical engine made a quick run out to the fire and did excellent work in preventing any further damage

HUSBAND SENTENCED BY WIFE
You Go to the House of Correction
 for a Year." Snaps the Woman.


 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1. - Mrs. Nathan Kirkwood of 392 Ripka st., sentenced her husband to one year in the house of correction. The Wo- man appeared against her hucband in the Manayunk police court.
 After hearing the testimony the magistrate called Mrs. Kirkwood to the bench and informed her that she would have to be the judge as man appeared against her husband would remain in jail.
 You go to the house of correction for one year. Mrs. Kirkwood snap ped at her husband. without a sec ond's hesitation.
 Kirkwood pleaded with the magis- trate, but the pleading only brought forth the answer that the sentence was just and would stand.
 According to Mrs. Kirkwood, her husband imbibed too freely and sold all the shoes in the house in order to get money with which to purchase liquor. He came home and started to beat his wife and four children. A fool laughs whom others laugh.

QUARTZ (Robert CraWford |

When the gases and molten mat ter of the earth cooled. it shrunk up. and as it hardened, the crust cracked. The gases in the inside escaped and brought with them min erals such as gold silver. copper. iron. tin and lead. and in some places, rocks carrying gold filled up these cracks and made quartz veins. Wherever miners find rich placer claims in the valleys they think it almost all comes from quartz, so they look for quartz veins on the hills.
 The first quartz mine discovered in the Panama district was the Blue Bell. August 2S, 1903, by MT. John C. Rose. It was recorded at the recorders office November 24. 1903 One thousand, two hundred and fifty claims have since been record ed.
 MT. L. B. Rhoads. on Bedrock creek, the Pioneer group, on No 3, Chatham, are rich quartz mines. In the valleys of Dome, Vault. Cleary, and Fairbanks creeks were rich placer deposits. MT. Rhoads had faith in his mine, and he kept at work; the result was that he devel- oped his mine, until he is now be yond all prospecting stages, has paid all expenses, and MT. Hall leaves on March for Seattle to buy stamp mill.
 MT Alfred H. Brooks, a man who knows all about rocks and soil, wis ited the Panama valley with his men, and made a study of the rocks and hills about Fairbanks, and he says that most of the gold came from belt schist on the lower hills; the higher hills have harder rock.
 Sixty thousand dollars has been spent in developing quartz, of which $4S,000 has been returned; i; this is the largest return ever gotten in the world from quartz for so small an investment
 Some of the largest mines are l.. B. Rhoads', Pioneer Group, Alois Friedrichs, and the Butler-Petree Mining company
