Deal Goes
Through

The most important mining deal to
take place in Alpine county in recent
years, was closed up last week when
VIM. Sharp, engineer for the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company,
c. Darcy, consulting engineer of the
same company, Ben Henly and Frank
Fayrie, also of members of that COM
pany. bonded the Curtz mining prop
erty in that county. for a price said
to be 100000, of which a substantial
payment was made when the papers
were signed up.
The new company has already TAX
en- charge and a crew of men put to
work. 1t is the intention of the new
owners, according to reports from
Markleeville, to work about twelve
men this winter getting things in
shape for spring when the property
will be worked on an extensive
scale. The ledges carry copper, gold
and silver and much development
work has Leca dcne uider the Curtz
management.
The fact that Goldfield men have
interested themselves in the mining
game in this locality is hailed with
delight by all. In Alpine there are
numerous old properties, producers
of the early days, lying idle for the
want of capital to work them. With
silver demanding high price those
old silver mines of Alpine county
should be producing millions, accord
ing to those who claim to know of
the vast bodies of sivler ore.
If the Curtz property proves up to
even one-half Of what is claimed for
1t, Alpine county's mining industry
is destined to awaked from its Rip
Van Winkel slumber Of over a quarter
of century.

NO HIM. 81 y Al
''The theater was crowded to the
doors the night we opened in Phila-
delphia," said Paula.
81 had not seen Earnest after I
reached the hotel. He was never Wis
ible to anyone the day before an
opening night.
81 had heard the curtain go up and
hurried to the wings from which I
must make my entrance just in time
to catch the torrents of applause that
greeted Ruth Dayton, who made her
appearance on the stage about a
minute before I did.
Now, baby child, do your best
/ started, for l did not know that
Earnest was near me, but 1 did not
have a chance to say a word before
l had to give that little giggling laugh
of stage which must always pre-
cede my entrance.
Il was received in silence. Phila-
delphia theater-goers did not know
me, and the QUakers are worse than
skeptics from MissoUri-you certain
ly have to show them.
I'm a minute or two Earnest made
his entrance and again the place
echoed to deafening applause. The
play was on. Ruth was getting every
possible value out Of every word and
gesture and Earnest was at his best.
I tried to keep on the same key.
For some reason, however, I did
not catch on until my big scene at
the end of the second act. But as I
began to repeat all over again those
pregnant words which supposedly
told Earnest my innocent love for
him, I let myself go. Again the
speech went straight from my heart
to his. r..
ooh, it is true, baby child, said
Earnest under cover of the roar of
applause as I stood clasped in. his
arms; you do love me, don't you?'
Then he had to take my arms from

stead of speaking as l should have
done, 1 stood there with my hands
hanging at my sides looking into his
face.
Love you,' 1 answered. 4 have
loved you since the morning stars
sang together and I shall love you
when chaos spreads darkness over
the whole universe
The morning papers, everyone,
quoted that speech and said it was
just what high-strung sentimental
girl would say under the circum-
stances and that I said it with an
art which seemed almost impossible
in so young an actress. One critic
went further and said that the look
of CONSERVATION and surprise on
Earnest's face as l spoke was, mas
terly and that his slight hesitation
at the end of my avowal was one of
the big moments of the play.
eff that critic could have known
that it was not acting, but reality
that he was looking upon, he might
have had a more sensational story,
but he could not have called it dra-
matte criticism.
For the love of heaven, what
made you change that speech?' said
Earnest as we left the stage after
the curtain went down. For a mo-
ment 1 thought you had suddenly
gone crazy.
But you asked me if l loved you,'
I said.
But 1 did not expect you to an
swer before all those people. How
ever, I'll forgive you. 1t was a great
speech, not only for the play, but for
me. Dearest child, you have made
me very happy, and even if you have
spoiled the scene I could not have
been angry. Only a girl as innocent
as yourself or the Elga you were i'm
persOnating would have said it.
