THE NEW E HOUSE.

Ground was broken Monday prepare
tory to laying the foundation of the
$40, 900 new Opera House to be erected
by Messrs. P. E. Schilling and P. d.
Montjoy.
The plans were made by Architect H.
Eely, of Memphis, and Messrs. H. l..
Walden & Co., of this city, are the
contractors. The work will be pushed
rapidly and the contractors hope to
have the theatre ready for occupancy
during the week of Christmas, If
weather conditions are favorable.
The theatre, furnishings. appoint
ments, etc., will cost $40, 900, and will
occupy a IS foot strip on Washington
avenue, between the Elks Home and
Fountains stores, and will be a two
story structure.
The first floor will contain a lobby,
box office, check rooms, ladies apart
ments, delicatessen hooks, and other
appointments accessory to the front
lobby of the modern theatre, together
with a small Office which will be either
occupied by the management or for
rental purposes. The seating capacity
of the parquet will be enhanced by the
balcony and four boxes, accommodate
ing fully $50 people, and the stage will
be 30x50x52, the So foot elevation for
tae scenery being the standard regula-
ton for the large size attractions.
Mr.. Schilling is negotiating with a
syndicate for the opening show, and
hopes to stage it one evening during
the Xmas holidays. 1t will be the plan
of the theatre to give one u~p-to-date
clean play every week, and the other
evenings of the week will be devoted
to motion picture productions. Two
machines of the highest efficiency will
be installed, an orchestra secured, and
the best and latest of pictures given.
Mr.. Schilling especially emphasize
the fact that lone but the plays of high
moral tone, clean in every minute of
production, and in every way wor-
thy of patronage from an intellectual
theatre-going public would be offered.
He says that only $4,000 of the $4,000
asked for has been subscribed, but he
and Mr.. Montjoy had %shouldered the
responsibility with that subscription,
with the hope that when the building
was under way of construction and the
people had seen for themselves that
the venture was a reality would not be
backward in contributing the balance
desired. From now until the compile
ton of the building they will try to Sc
cure the additional $4,000. These gen
tlemen deserve high commentator fol
their indefatigable work in scoring this
achievement, perfecting a venture that
has met with so many failures hereto,
fore.

BIG CATTLE DEAL ON,, sIF RUMOR Is TRUE
Boquillas Company May Acquire Greene
 Holdings
May

According to information that is being circulated around the county there is a strong possibility that the ranches and cattle of the Greene Cat tie company along the San Pedro riY- CT will pass into the hands of the BOquillas Land and Cattle company. It has been known for sometime that there have been negotiations on be- tween the representatives of both the big companies and that MT. Henry Street, the representative of the Bo- quillas company was in Bisbee a few days since with Chas. Wiswald. the general manager Of the Greene Cattle company interests and that they were lr consultation with legal representa- tiyes at the same time. During the past few weeks Mir. Street has been at Hereford and at Cananea confer ring th the representatives of Mrs. Greene and others who own the con trolling interest in that company. If the deal is made it will be one of the largest cattle deals that has been made in the territory for a number of years and will involve the transfer of several thousand head of cattle as well as thousands of acres of grazing as well as farming land and that the consideration will be several hundred thousand dollars.
 Mrs. Greene Would Sell
 It has been known for some time that Mrs. Greene was anxious to dis pose of the interest of her late hus- band in the Greene Cattle company and number Of parties have been looking over the holdings of the com pany besides the representatives of the Boquillas people, but the present outlook is that a deal will be made with that company.
 During the past week there has been a change in the local manage ment of the Greene Cattle company. John Woolf, who has had charge of the ranch of the company at San Ped TO has taken charge at Hereford in- stead Of Guy Welsh who has resigned to take the position as undersheriff under Sheriff Wheeler, while J. Ed wards has taken the place of Pink Murray as ranch foreman who has re- signed and will spend his time look ing after his own cattle which range in the vicinity of Lewis Springs
