medium, for so revolutionary a
change in her career. But for
even all this important matter
Pavlowa was prepared. Those
who expect that idolized celebri-
ty is merely converting her fame
into cash will have a surprise
coming to them. The screen
production has been taken from
an old-fashioned opera, which
has lain dormant for nearly a
quarter Of a century. In all the
world. there was only one woman
who could bring to the role of
Fenella the wildly varied gifts
which has caused generation of
prima donas to hesitate at the
difficult task in hand.
Pavlowa has dreamed of the
role of Fenella for years and has
studied the character from every
possible angle. The great sing
ers who sang the role of Fenella
in various countries, could not
act as we'll as this great actress
could play the part. The dancers
who attempted the role of Fenella
were woefully deficient in con-
ception of it's tremendous value.
1t is for this reason that the opera
of 'Masaniello," once a feature
of repertoire of every house in
the world has been eliminated in
practically all of them.
Now, the Universal Film Man
ufacturing Company, bent upon
immeasurably raising the stand
ard of m-productivities, under
took to produce a film spectacle
of tremendous proportions and
an appropriation of a quarter of
a million dollars was decided
upon.
In both dramatic and moving
picture circles, Pavlowa is now
recognized as the greatest box
office attraction in the world.
The general impression is that
the great singers and great opera
make the biggest box office at
fractions, but aside from Caruso
there is not one singer of either
sex who would fill the Metropoli-
tan opera house at SIS a seat OR
higher without the aid of other
ia nous names. Unquestionably,
the only celebrity in the world
who could pack the opera house
at SIS seat through her own per-
sonality is Anna Pavlowa, who
has drawn $4,000 in one night,
and in one evening at the Metro
politan opera house so frequently
that the box Office executives
could always predict within a

The Horses Must Have Been
Going at a Good Clip.

Senator Ollie James tells of an
old mountaineer In Kentucky who
until recently had never seen an
automobile.
The old chap was standing on
the corner of the main street of
a town in the state when a good
sized touring car came along at
about thirty miles an hour and
slowed up just long enough to
take the corner on two wheels.
The mountaineer's establishment
was extreme. He watched the
disappearing car with bulging
eyes and open mouth. Then
turning to bystander. he re-
marked

Washington.-"The historically i'm
was made in January, 1848, at John
Suffers mill on South Fork of Ameri-
Ia river, near Coloma, a point only
ten or fifteen miles southwest of the
town of Auburn" says a statement by
the geological survey.
"From 1850 to 1853 the greatest
yield was derived from the gravels,
and the largest annual output for
this period was more than $65 ,000, 900
in 1852. There was some reaction in
1854, due to previous wild speculation,
but a production of about $50,000,0 900 a
year, chiefly from placer mines, was
maintained up to 1861.
"At first the gold was won chiefly
from the gravels along the present
streams. Those who first got posses
sion of the rich bars on American,
Yuba, Feather and Stanislaus rivers
and some Of the smaller streams in
the heart of the gold region made at
times from $1,000 to $4,000 a day. In
1848 $500 to $500 a day was not un-
usual luck; but, on the other hand,
the income of the great majority of
miners was far less than that of men
who seriously devoted themselves to
trade or even to common labor.
"The gold pan, the rocker the
'tom,' the sluice and the hydraulic
giant, or monitor named in the order
of increasing efficiency, were the tools
successfully used by the miners. Into
the rocker and the tom the miner
shoveled gravel or dirt rocking the
catching the gold, often with the aid
of quicksilver, on rifles set across the
bottom of his box. Sometimes a stream
was diverted into a fiume to lay bare
the gravel in it's bed so that the miner
could get at it.
I'm sluicing, the gravel was SHOW
eled into a similar but much longer
box through which a stream of water
was allowed to run.

to wash into long riffle-set sluices i'm
mense quantities Of gravel, especially
from the higher (Tertiary) deposits,
much Of which was too lean to work
out by hand. Water was brought for
many miles in bitches and fumes from
the high Sierra and conducted under
great head to a nozzle, from which it
was projected with tremendous force
against the gravel.

washed into the streams by these n.y.

the conflict between mining and agri-
cultural interests, finally decided in
favor of the farmers"
