RECENT TOLSTOI ARRIVALS STILL RETAIN CONFIDENCE
 IN FUTURE OF DISTRICT

During the past week there have been many arrivals from the Tolstoi region, and some departures for that section Although there are now few prospectors in the Tol>tol, compared with the numbers there a few weeks ago, it is the general consensus Of opinion that the coming fall will see re sumption of activity in the new district on a larger scale than previously. PractI- caIly all of the returning miners state their intention of again resumlng prospecting there after the freeze-up and the recent reports of newly-found pay will stimulate the travel in that direction.
 Among the recent arrivals here was Ira Van Orsdal who with James Pitcher the discoverer of Boob creek. is working No. l below on that stream Mir. Van Orsdal re- ports that just prior to his departure from the camp he and his partner had opened up new pay on their claim which had shown values of about $50 to the foot. The pay had been drifted on for twenty feet, and the pay was found to be good for the entire distance MT Van Orsdal is here for the purpose of securing plant with which to work the claim, which will be taken around to Tolstoi by water. and will be freighted over to the creek after tn" freeze up. MT. Van OrsdaI will return lmmedI- ately, going over the ridge.
 An interesting fact was brought to light during MT. Van Orsdals stay here. He had in his possession specimens of mineral found during the progress of development work which was believed to be platinum. This he states is found in considerable quantities both on Boob and Mastodon creeks If it be found to be platinum, there are indica- tions that it will be found profitable to work the ground for that mineral alone One proypcctor stated that he had enough in sight to constitute paystrcall if it proved to be platinum. The specimen has been examined by numerous persons familiar with minerals, and it appears to come up to the known tests
 A strike is reported to have been made on Glen gulch by Mike Laboski, but this has not been confirmed.
 On Mastodon creek the lay of Messrs. McConnaughey Duffy Beattie and Murray has been abandoned, and most of the part ners have returned to Iditarod.

SHOES" IS REMARKABLE PIG

Much local interest centers in the screening today for the first time in Arizona of the splendidly heralded fo- toplay.

 This story tells of a girl who worked in a department store 4 good girl who knew the dangers of the cabaret, the dance halls, and the cheap amuse- ments so called that provide the only means in which a girl of her station could hope to indulge in for recreation.
 She had to take home each week her pay envelope to provide food, such as 1t was, for her little brothers and sis ter and a good for nothing drunken father.

D. w. GRlFFlTH'S SECOND MAS TERPiECE WILL OPEN IN
 NEW YORK

n. w. Griffith completed arrange ments with Klaw X Erlanger in New
 York this week to take over the Lib- erty theater there for the season 1916-
 IT beginning August Fist. His first
 production will be the new colossal
 spectacle "Intolerance' which he des-
 ignates as a sun play of the ages.
 Mir Griffith has been at work upon
 this story for over 5 years. It is an or
 iginal idea consisting of parallel mar
 ratives coming down through four
 ages in the worlds development. The
 connecting link between the past and
 present reveals that the same force
 which has created crisis in the worlds
 affairs is at work today. In this pro-
 duction Mir. Griffith has set q new
 mark and created his most ambitious
 achievement. Greater backgrounds
 have been made for his action than was
 ever revealed before. In his principal
 scenes he has utilized more people than
 were ever seen in any production.
 Intolerance" will be presented for the first time In ans theater at the Liberty theater on Tuesday night, Au- gust 22nd. This is the production which has been referred to heretofore as "The Mother and the Law" a title ! which was used solely for working purposes. It tells a modern story of striking local color and stirring de- tail which depicts the suffering and adventures of a young couple who happen to be caught in the whirlpool cf cO-called social reform. The effor; to thwart the law of individual des- tinies is the force which brings the young lovers and others into a se- Gueuce or events which engulf them. In this Griffith has shown a keen in sight into prevalent conditions and in | illustration of his theme has painted
 a picture which will startle the world by it's realism
 In joining his modern story to an- cient events Griffith has made a wide departure from all stage construction of the past. He elaborates upon his or ] iginal invention of the switch-back to ! flash parallel narratives of the fall of Babylon the advent of the Nazarene into Judea and the Massacre of St. i Bartholomew in Paris in 1572. In each 1 locale he introduces analogous charac- | ters to the protagonists of his modern

 Miss Halperin will play this sketch the remainder of the season and when she opens in New York in the autumn, it will be in a new act especially writ ten for her by MT. Fredlander She plans to be in vaudeville in this coun- try until after the terrible war; when she plans a London season. Of her present act. Maitland Davies of the Tribune says:
 Not even Theodore Kosloff and Vlasta Maslova with their Russian ballet could steal the headline honors from Nan Halperin at the Orpheum. This remarkable young woman is ap- bearing in what she is pleased to des- ignate as Five Stages of Girlhood. The only fault one can find with it is that it leaves one in a duandary as to which stage is the most lovable.
 As an entertainer Miss Halperin is in a class all by herself. There is nobody just like her. She is an artist to her finger tips and, back of that, has a de- lightful sense of humor and a most charming personality. She wins her audience before she opens her mouth and. having opened it. holds them all the more securely in her grasp.
 The words and lyrics of Five Stages of Girlhood were written by William B. Friedlander and they are almost as clever as the artist who interprets them. The little sketch depicts first a little girl-the youngest of the fam ily-old enough to know that she i' missing a lot of fun and too young tC be allowed to take part in 1t.

 From it Lois Weber has builded what film critics in all parts of the country
 have pronounced fotoplay so lifted
