work and the unity of the singers was
a tribute to his already recognized
ability and reputation as one of the
best singers and musical directors in
the northwest.
One of the most appreciated soloists
was Miss Laura Ferguson, who sang
the soprano airs of the composition.
Her voice not only contained a rich,
sweet quality, but was wide in range,
took all tones with apparent ease and
had sufficient volume to effectively fill
the large auditorium of the church.
The c~ontralto was Miss Margaret
Campbell, daughter of T. A. Campbell
of this city. Her voice was rich and
very pleasing and that has already
had much musical training could cas-
lily be understood in her artistic solo
work, in which she gave some Of the
most difficult numbers. The two So
prano and contralto solos that We're
best liked We're probably the closing
numbers of the first part, He Shall
and Come Unto Him" by Miss Fer
guson.
Gerhart Oyloe took the basso parts
very well, and although many of his
numbers called for variety of express
sion together with difficult music, he
succeeded in producing the effects de-
manded, remarkably well.
Miss Cecile Welch was %organist and
Carl Christensen was concert meister,
and assisting director.
In Three Parts
The first part contained 10 numbers
coming of Jesus Christ. One selection,
the PASTORAL symphony, was an or
chestral number and one of the most
enjoyed on the program. The second
part dealt with the life of Christ, clos
ing with the wonderful Hallelujah
chorus, during which the audience
stood.
To the efforts of the committee,
headed by Rev. O. J. Edwards and to
the work of Professor Garnett Hedge
is WATERFOWL indebted for an oppor-
tunity of hearing 'The Messiah sung
by what is probably the largest and
best chorus in the state. The expense
of bringing so many singers here was
large.
Professor Hedge addressed the au-
dience with a few words of apprecia-
ton for the large attendance in inter
est, during an intermission in the pres
entation last night. His expressed
hope that the State College Choral
Union may present a big entertainment
in Watertown every year met with re-
spouse in hearty applause from the au-
dience.
Special Train Chartered
The special train on which the
chorus came from Brookings arrived
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. 1t
was met at the Northwestern station
by the Fourth Regiment band, and a
delegation Of Watertown people, who
escorted the members of the chorus
and orchestra to the Methodist church.
A rehearsal was held in the afternoon
and afterwards supper was served for
the college students and professors by
the ladies of the Methodist church in
the church dining hall. Many Water
town people also attended this supper.
The special train, bearing the chorus
and people who came from informed
late points {, hear "The Messiah" left
at 1870 o'clock last night.
Financially, as in every other way,
last evenings entertainment was a sue
cess. Watertown music lovers are al
ready looking forward to another must
cal entertainment by the students of
the State College.

WOULD YOU, IF YOU HAD IT,

There Was Pretty Girl Involved in the Movie Trick
 Played Upon Zyla, Who Claimed to Be Blind, and They Say He Gave Her the 'Once Over'' All Right

Chicago, Dec. 21-In the mind Of Peter Zyla, who used to be laborer in the plant of the Chicago Raw Pro- ducts Co. in the Stock Yards here, there is probably a large capital let ter question offering itself for answer last night
 TWAS TT WORTH TT?"
 Maybe it was, in which case every body is satisfied including Peter and the insurance company and the girl and the sleuths. But it will be uni- versally conceded that $3,500 is pretty good price to pay (which Peter probablyswilD for a single peek. look, slant, glimpse or Once-over at a--
 But here's the tale of the Thirty five Hundred Dollar Look: Zyla sev- eral months ago passed his hands over his eyes one day, staggered about a bit and then told his fellow workers that he couldn't see. Ap- parently his vision had departed to- tally, for it was necessary for pair of his friends to lead him out of the workshop and take him home.
 His case, in due course, came be- fore the State Industrial Board, and
  come sightless because of the alter nate heat and cold of the shop in which he worked. The board. ac- cepting this testimony awarded Zyla $a,5oO, which was to be. paid to him in instalments.
 They Wanted to Be Shown.
 The Hartford Accident & Indemnity Go. guarantees the Stock Yard plant against losses under the WOrkmen's Compensation Act, and naturally looks rather deeply into all accident cases. Albert Lane, one of the ad justers of the Hartford concern, was assigned to find out quietly if Zyla's sight really was permanently gone.
 In the guise of a teamster, Lane established friendly relations with the sightless man, and was standing in his back yard with him recently when along came two men with a moving picture camera and a very pretty girl.
 ''Is this your property?" one of the men asked Lane. Gle was a sleuth, of course, and so were the others).
 "No, It's this gentleman's," re- turned the adjuster, indicating Zyla.

OLD HARQUA HALA
LOOKS Up AGAIN
Other Mining Development
in That Region Promises
An Activity Surprising
, the Expectations Of the
: Most Sanguine Pioneers

SALOME, AriZ, July 2S.-SalOme is
dancing again, not because the sand
is hot and burns her feet, but because
the Harqua Hala has just struck what
is apparently the downward continual
ton of the famous old Castle Garden
Stope with its record of over a million
dollars in high grade gold ore from
one level; because the famous Glory
Hole bonanza has started work again
and has already found some gold; be-
cause the Cobrita has started ship
ping Il per cent copper ore; because
+. a. Bob Montgomery the famous
Nevada mining millionaire has struck
some good ore on the Cuff property,
near the Golden Eagle, and lastly be-
cause new work is being strated all
around here and good shOwings be-
ing made in many places and new
people coming in and everyone feels
happy and shows it. John Martin and
ii. VIM. Stevens of the Harqua Hala
are both wearing the smile that won't
come off and every time they pan a
handful Of dirt from the lower levels
either one Of them could easily win
first prize in any Standing Broad

tured zone which carried the values
up into the porphyry -quartZite contact
Of the old workings. The sixth level
is below the bottom of the older eN-
plored ore bodies and the new work
lngs extend to the eighth level. Mar
tin now has the vein or ore body OK
posed in the porphyry on three levels
with considerable drifting on each, the
vein averaging from three to sixteen
feet or more in width and getting
bigger and better all the time; the av-
arage values, not counting the high
grade being opened up, running over
$40 gold and per cent copper, be-
sides some silver. On the eighth level
the drifting has extended under where
the lower extension of the old Castle

workings is all free milling. while that

els is rapidly showing the permanent
sulphide character. an altered pOrphy-
ry gangue with sulphiGes carrying

it. Enough oXidized ore is be-
ing taken out during the development
to keep thirty stamps running day
times. while the sulphide ore neces-
saIily taken out of the drifts and
crosscuts is being piled up for future
treatment when the new mill is built
when either concentrating tables or
oil flotation will be installed. No stop
ing is being done as yet, but the free
milling ores being taken out of the
development workings are sufficient TO
keep the mill turning out bricks reg
ularly. The company is practically a
close corporation as yet and even
closer mouthed, so it is impossible to
state just what returns they are get
ting monthly, but from the way the
ore pans and what the miners and
some of the little birds around camp
say, II ought to be enough to satisfy
any reasOna BILE minded man.
Active work has just been started on
the famous Glory Hole again, which
startled the mining world a few years
ago by producing about $50 coo in less
than a week from a small surface pit
