life of them see how play was to
be made from the novel. They argued
that it was not possible to visualize
Lady Babbie and make her real on
the stage. Another thing, she was one
of those heroines of fiction that one
never gets to know intimately. But
they failed to reckon with the person
atty of the actress. The illusiveness
of the heroine proved to be one of the
most interesting features of the play.
If people could not read her mind,
surely they must be in suspense as to
what she would do and say The
enormous success of the comedy,
which is to be given by Miss Adams at
the Burtis in Davenport on Wednes-
day, June IS. is now part and parcel of
theatrical history. How we'll Mr.
Barrie constructed his play is evi-
denced by the success which is being
showered upon it during its present
tour.

Bernard the dredgeman is moving
 dredge from the Anakovik to Law
 son creek. He is to move some of
 the machinery immediately and has taken up the launch Berkely and a lighter for that purpose. Reports in circulation hold Frank Rice and Gehrman responsible for a pheno-
 menally rich strike on Lawson creek during the summer and they had little trouble getting Bernard to place the dredge there when he saw
 what they had got. The Tellerites are greatly interested in the new find.
 Yesterday Cordovado attempted to
 perform some work on the Diamond l. upon which Warsing and Alvich
 have a lease for an extended period,
 and the lessees ordered off the new
 claimant of the property. Warsine
 and Alvich are beginning work on
 that section where they have been
 working during the summer and
 upon which ground following the
 strike made by Alvich in the earlier
 portion of the season just past, ten
 men were employed continuously
 taking out remunerative. pay. The
 ground is known as the Diamond
 L and wa owned by the Seward
 Dredging Co, but was sold during
 the summer being bought in by the
 bondholders who are represented by
 Ogilsvie, James Frawley being at torney in charge. The lease was given to Alvich who discovered the pay, and upon the expiration of that agreement, another was extended to
 Warsing and Alvich for a longer time. It is alleged that during the past, winter 1915, lessees sank a shaft between the Diamond L and the Ingleside which was to pass for representation work on the ground; the miners drifted fifty feet in the direction of the Ingleside and fifty feet on the Diamond L. It was al legged by soma stakers that there ex- isted a fraction at the point where | this work was done. and | that the drifting instead of enter ing the Diamond L. entered the | open fraction. Accordingly this frac- ton was staked as the Safety De posit fraction this summer, although i, crew of mon were then employed | taking a dump there, although one of the lessees had already staked | the alleged fraction for self protec- tion prior thereto according to state- ments made the Industrial Worker. | In the meantime, Cordovado and | several partners landed upon the | claim one afternoon, while the mine | was being operated with full force, | and then began stalking away from | a blue print, Of which dilgent ex- aminition had been proceeding in luc HOuHt Ol Ollt HOL uuGOinecleu with the affairs of the Seward Dredging Co. sometime previously. It is thus seen that there is likely to be a law suit, and over ground, mind you, which has been in full blast all summer, whereon laymen and others have worked for years when, and after, the third beach was in it's prime, without single ques- tion of title from start to finish. However pickings are getting so slim these days, that unconsidered trifles are not even being over looked.
