A month passed, and she heard moth

he wrote her that he had at last sue

The play was light comedy. The
audience were captured at the very
opening. The second act. which Is
liable to be dull. was very effective.
Just before its close Josselyn asked
Miss Sweetland to excuse him and left
the box. A few minutes later there
was a cry of Help, help"
Every eye in the theater was turned
to the box opposite the one in which
Miss Sweetland sat. where two men
were tussling with each other.
I'm being robbed: he's got my

These words had scarcely been spo-

the box.
The excited audience sat eXpectant
for a few minutes, when another voice
cried. "They's got him.
Two policemen in uniform were seen
marching a man out of the theater.
Meanwhile the curtain had been rung
down.
The stage manager appeared from
behind a wing and said:
Ladies and gentlemen. one of the
most daring robberies in the annals of

UTAH CONSOLIDATED
WANTS MORE DEPTH
Diamond Drills Seeking Zone
of Enrichment Below the
Twelfth Level.

In reviewing the 1912 operations Of the
Utah Consolidated company. George l..
Walker shows that dividends OF 81 a
share, amounting to 100000 were paid In
two installments, against total earnings
of s6o3, ,92S The company's shaft is now
at the twelfth level, and considerable ex-
ploratory work Is being done both by
drifts and diamond drill effort. The COM
pany is making shipments OF copper ores
TO the International smelling plant,
while about 200 tons OF lead ore daily
are sent across the hills TO the saniU
plant The loss occasloned by the strike
at Bingham last fall is estimated at sl00,
600. which means that the company might
have earned in excess OF 100000 net
last year.
Walker states that while the grade OF
tho copper ore so far developed at depth
has decreased as depth was gained, it is
the plan to drive ut least another hundred
feet SO that diamond drilling may be con-
tinued to ascertain II there is a zone OF
enrichment further down, A considerable
tonnage OF copper ore In the property may
not be taken into consideration in the
forthcoming annual report as 1t is not
considered OF a workable grade without
copper at a better range than II stands
today.
The lead ora tonnages OF this famous
old copper producer continue TO be the
most striking feature OF the mine today.
