All Stars Were Good.

Some Of Lexington's s old time
talent assisted by coming stars
Of the rising generation put on a
clever entertainment at Wright S
Grand Tuesday night. A big
laugh and a big night were adj
vertised and the good sized au-
dience present seemed to enjoy
both. And while speaking about
the audience-it contained a gen
tleman, who formerly an all star
himself, was so delighted at the
news of the selection Of Chair
man Root at the Chicago con-
vention, that he couldn't help
giving vent to his feelings at the
opera house.
The first part of the minstrel
consisted of songs and jokes,
with Harry st. Clair as interloc-
utor and Warren Vivian and
Arthur Sheets in the black face
parts. Catching songs were
rendered by MeSsIs. Marquis,
Frazier, Tunstall, St. Clair, Viv-
ian, Sheets and Howard, the lat
ter of whom proved a find" by
the way he handled his solo.
Sheets and Vivian also put on a
cOmical vaudeville act and in
company with Messrs. st. Clair
and Wiley formed an excellent
quartette. c. @. Knipe rivalled
the canaries with his whistling
and Clarence Linden Vivian, Jr.,
was there with his cornet. The
LeJune Brothers maintained their
reputation and delivered the
goods in the acrobatic line. Serat
Wiley, Irwin Morris and Ralph
johnson assisted in the enter
tainment.
a pleasing feature of the
evenings entertainment, and
one fully appreciated by the au-
dience, was the magnificent mo-
ton picture shown by Manager
Wright in the intermission be-
tween the first act and the olio.

Butte's Zinc Prospects.

A Butte special to the Boston Com- mercal says: The possibilities of Butte as a great zinc producing cen ter are attracting more attention every day A few days ago w. A. Jones of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, who is the head of one of the largest zlnc manu- featuring concerns in the world, stop. ped off in the city after trip through National Park. In speaking about his visit he said:
 'I confess that I was not prepared for what 1 understand is more or less common knowledge-that your zinc in- dustry promises to grow to tremen- dous proportions. I have been amazed at what have learned here of your zinc production, both actual and pros. pectve. 1 am so interested that am coming back, and it is altogether probable that we will purchase ores from the district and may get into the mining game ourselves here.
 "The zinc industry is growing in importance and l question if your peo- pie realize the value of your zinc properties. It is certainly bound to add to the wealth of the city. Like copper, zinc is metal the world must have and feel that in the production of the metal your district is destined to have an important part"

Superior Working Big Force.

All the idle miners of that district have gone to Superior in answer to a call for men. The Magma Copper company started triple compartment working shaft Monday, and two shafts will be started the same day by the c. & A. comp pany.
 Each shaft will require four miners on a shift, or 12 miners per day, as three eight-hour shifts will be en- ployed. This will make room for 36 miners in the shafts alone, and others will be employed in drifting and cross. cutting.
 The A. s. & R. company will also soon be ready to put on a force of miners as the work of unwatering the mine, now in rapid progress, will be completed within a short period of time. It IS probable that this company, in the interest of hoisting and pump. ing economy, will sink new vertical shalt to connect with the bottom of the old inclined shaft.
 Superior, inside of a few months, will be one of the live mining camps of the state. It will also be bonanza camp, as the ore shoots along the great Superior lode, so far developed, are rich in gold, copper and silver, those now uncovered in the lower levels of the Magma Copper company's property being of unusually high values.
 There seems to be distributed along the Superior lode, series of trans. verse fault of Assures, in which the concentration of the three metals above named has taken place.-Tucson Citizen.

Alaska Mining Claims.

In an act of Congress recently ap- proved by the president, resume of which is published in this issue of Mining Sclence, it was evidently the intention of the lawmakers to dis courage claim-grabbing in Alaska. The measure relates to the location of placer ground in that territory. and does not apply elsew here. Both as to the size of the claims held by indi- viduals or associations and as to the mum Der of claims which locator may stake during any calendar month, it is sought to prohibit "blanket" possess ory rights over large area in the name of one person or association. Moreover, DO individual is permitted to make locations in the names of absent persons unless he possesses written powers of attorney, provision which also helps to limit excessive pos sessory rights. Finally, the annual location work must begin with the year of location. This is the first step winch has been taken by Congress in recent years to deal with the assess ment question.
 It is probable that the law here touched upon is satisfactory to the mining interests of the Alaska placer regions, as an Alaska committee has spent considerable time in Washing ton during the last session of Con- gress. Mining law has grown up as the product of local experience and local regulations, and it is always proper that central authority should pay heed to what the "man on the ground" deems fair in the struggle for native wealth. The conditions under which new gold Is found call for the most considerate treatment by law makers. Evidently the intent of the present law is to cause opportunities to be left open to men who are willing to do the work of producing gold, rather than to those who wish to hold claims for speculative purposes. Speculation In the public domain has been drowned upon of late, and one of the principal tendencies of legislation at Washington is to make the law conform to this disposition. The chef object of the government with drawals of public lands, pending classl, fication, was to interfere with their appropriation by private individuals until speculative values could be con- sidered. In other words, the govern. ment would retain some of the specu- lative value for itself or bestow it up. on those directly able and willing to pursue development. This may fairly be considered the essence of conservationism with respect to the private ownership aspect of the ques- tion.-Denvei Mining Science.

Copper Queen Takes up Options

Following the closing of the 65,OOOS deal between the Copper Queen Con- solidated Mining company with F. Geeseman for his claims in the Cata- linas at Apache Camp. it is announced in Bisbee that the Copper Queen will take up its option on the nearby prop. critics of William Reid of Tucson with. in the next few days, making final payment On these properties.
 The announcement also states that the Copper Queen will take up it's options and make payments also on he Ramsdell claims aud on the Leatherwood group of nine claims on the south, all being in the direct vi- cinit! of Apache Camp.
 The options on the Ramsdell and Learherw ood properties are not to ex- plrr as >cOn as the Reid option but vii be due for payment h the near future. IL has been thought that the Copper Queen intended to allow these options to lapse, making payment merely on the Geeseman claims, but this is disproved by the Bisbee state- ment.-Tucson Citizen.
