MONICA BEGINS PRODUCING
 BULLION
ANOTHER BAR OF GOLD BULLION FROM OLD PROPERTY; 2 MINE AND 3 MILL SHIFTS ADDED.
(From Tuesdays Gaily.)

Since taking over the Monica mines near Kirkland about two months ago, w. w. Copp has made creditable showing in mine development as we'll as milling operations, bringing to the city yesterday the second bar of gold bullion, that is valued at several hun dred dollars.
 He stated that storms handicapped milling, fuel oil being held at Kirk land for over six weeks on account of roads being impossible and reduction thus came to a standstill. He will place two shifts at work in the mine at once. and three shifts will run the mill hereafter. Production being months ahead Of the plant is the req son for this latter movement.
 Mir. Copp states that on the 4OO and 600 levels, three-foot bodies of SIS milling ore have been opened, and stoping at both points is under head way. Machine drills nave been intro duced, and other modern methods ap- piled in reopening the old property. The Monica is being individually op- erated and resumed after many years of q suspension.

IMPORTANT WORK STARTS ON THE
 OCTAVE
DRIFTING ON VEIN AT A DEPTH OF 800 FEET IN VIRGIN GROUND IS UNI DER HEADWAY.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

General Manager Leopold Wolloth of the Octave Mines Company yes terday imparted the first information in several months concerning opera tions on that property, or since it has been acquired by the present owners.
 The driving east of drift from an old shaft at depth of 800 feet indi- cates the manner of practical devel- opment now going on, which is all the more important for the reason that virgin ground is being entered, and on the vei1, which is strong and well defined, carrying good gold values. This work goes ahead to the east in a zone never explored heretofore, and is the result of exploration in recent months, clearly indicating the re-es- tablishing of the property as future producer. Production continues as the drift goes ahead, and when point distant of 650 feet is reached, 1t Is probable inc reduction works on the ground will again be put in action. The ores have the same mineral char acteristics in the rcw workings as in the old, and with the immense depth given, stoping for years will be avail able to maintain reduction to any tonnage desired.
 Mir Wolloth is very much elated over the character of development mapped out. and which is to be earn estly prosecuted until plans are fully accomplished. Production will then assume steady and permanent basis and from which a favorable outcome is assured. It is his belief that at no time in the history of the Octave could its affairs be considered SO flaw orably as at present.

"The Shrine of Happiness" tells a
simple and sweet love story OF the
affections Of one Richard Clark, Ind
those Of his grown son. for Marie
Scott, a poor innocent young orphan,
who, after the untimely death of her
father jeeks out the latter's old friend
in the person Of Clark, knowing full
well that he will look out for her in
terests Unconsciously. the father and
son become rivals for the love of
Marie. and when the younger man
asks her hand in marriage she re-
fuses. This so incenses Clark that
he accuses his father OF standing in
his way The elder Clark. hoping to
promote the girls happiness. induces
her to accept his sons offer of mar
riage She shows her willingness and
the day of the proposed marriage ad-
vances. when, to her great surprise,
Tod sees the emo nifty of her sacrifice
and at the eleventh hour, writes a
note telling her that she is free to
marry his father. as he cannot ask
her to act the role of the martyr for
his sake. So then Marie becomes
Mrs. Clark, Sr.' Surely a simple little
tale, but wonderfully worked out and
portrayed in a marvellous manner by
the strong cast among whom are
Paul CLINE G and William Conklin, in
support of the popular Miss Saun-
ders, who is known as "the Maude

We told him the House would pass
such a resolution II necessary to avoid
war with Germany. But we told him
we would not embarrass him at pres
ent, and would postpone any action
until a war crisis is reached"
Keeping their pledge the House
leaders prevented embarrassing out
breaks as fast as they threatened. In
the Senate, Chairman Stone, Of the
foreign relations committee, had sim.
liar success. so far as discussion OF
the floor was concerned, but could
not prevent the Introduction OF the

audience DELIGHTED
With KING OF nowhere

Lou-Tellegen won his audience
not so large as it should have been
in his new play "A King OF Nowhere"
a romantic comedy drama by J. ard l..
DuRocher Mcpherson, at The Play
house last night Unfortunately the
weather was so bad that attendance
was held down. There is no doubt
that those present appreciated the
performance and there is no doubt
that Lou-Tellegen is a most capable
actor and is supported by a company
entirely out of the ordinary.
Olive Tell. a decidedly pretty and
capable young woman, was a splen-
did Lady Margaret Silchester, who
eventually marries the King of No
where, a part excellently played by
Lou-Tellegen. AS Henry the Eighth,
Sydney Greenstreet shared the honors
with the star. As a matter of fact
the entire company is most proficient
and the play is beautifully mounted.
The new play is different from any
thing seen here. The thread OF ro-
nance, the bravery of the King OF
: Nowhere, a Celtic knight, the angry
and unhappy King Of England, the
/ willingness Of Lady Margaret to make
any sacrifice for her lover, are oil
combined in a most pleasing produc'
ton. 1t is one Of those plays which
must be seen to be fully appreciated
and those who have been looking foi
something out of the ordinary vii
find it in this play. 1t will be pre-
sented at The Playhouse again this
