SERGEANT BRUE"
 DRAWS BIG HOUSE

The Pollard Juvenile Opera company played to another crowded house in the Orpheum theatre last night. It is a long parachute flight from "The Toy Maker" to Sergeant Brue," but the Pollards did it so gracefully that gen eral satisfaction is expressed over the performance of last night. Sergeant Brue" is not an opera. It is a playlet with a police court atmosphere and brimful of comedy of that order. As a musical comedy it is full of color and action with chances for several to display ability.
 In last nights performance Char ley Bennett, as "Crookie Scrabble" Ca criminaD easily claimed first hOn0rs in the comedy part. Leslie DOnaghey, as "Mr. Crank" (Police Judge) was eX- tra good. This Mir. Donaghey is really great character artist Tedde Me Namara played the title roll very ac- ceptably.
 Queenie Williams, as Daisy" Ser want in Brues hOuse) showed her wonderful versatility as an actress, and special character artist. It is a long step from "Alesia" (the dolD in the Toy Maker" to the part in last nights
 play. Nellie McNamara played a mans part last night-"Gerald Ire horne"-and did it well, but there was little opportunity for her splendid voice Pattie Hill doffed the trOus- CTS of yesterday and was very sweet as Aurora" Sergeant Brue's daugh- ter) Daisy Wilson, as Lady Bicken- hall" was all that could be desired.
 Of the musical numbers the follow ing were fayorites: Rose of Homo lulu" by Nellie McNamara, Paper Bag Cookery" by Charlie Bennett, q Want to Be Ladylike," by Queenie Williams.
 Tonight the company puts on "The Last Waltz" and tomorrow night the greatest of all light operas, 'Mikado."

CLEARY'S PREHISTORIC
 FOOT GOES SOUTH

On exhibition at the Panama saloon is the petrified foot of a man which was recently brought in from Cleary creek, where it has been for the past two years. The thing is an object of wonder to the many who are ob. serving it, as it clearly shows that it has at one time been the leg and foot of a man. That the member was in cased in a muckluck is also clearly shown by the string marks just be, low the knee.
 This freak of nature was found in the Innoko country several years ago by Lon Doggett. It was sent to Fair banks by him and until recently its whereabouts were not known. It is now to be sent out to George Buffers saloon in Seattle, it being the inten tion of James Hunter to take it wher he leaves on one of the last boats.- Fairbanks News-Miner.

REGENT YANKEE BASIN
 STRIKE REPORTED GOOD
O-O--

The strike reported to have been made by Gudman Jensen in Yankee ba- sin is arousing considerable interest about town. Mining men who have been in these parts for many years say that they are not surprised to hear of it. Yankee basin is one of the earl fest spots in Southeastern Alaska where gold was mined For many years J. c. Held, P. s. Early and Frank Bach have been doing development work on property adjoining that on which the Jensen strike is reported. Other nearby property is owned by the McWilliams brothers.
 It is practically the same as the ore body in the Eagle river mines but may vary little in values and magnitude. The entire ore body of that section lies in the same mineral belt that crosses through the country and in which the Gold creek and Sheep creek ores are located.
 The Dividend and Julia groups which are owned by J. G. Held, P S. Early and Frank Bach have been re. ported by several mining engineers as being good property. It is said that they have a large body that will aver age, sampling across the vein as far as crosscut, SIS per ton, with many rich stringers that run to fabulous val ues The Jensen ground adjoining is said to have eight feet of very rich quartz. running as high as $50 pel ton.
