Minister will Leave
For the War Front

Rev. Leonard V. G. Mytton, who
for the past year has been pastor
of the Presbyterian churches at
both Idaho Springs and George
town, has "enlisted' in the Y. M.
G. A. department of the war work,
and will leave very shortly for
France. He will probably be a
Y. NJ. G. A. secretary.
Rev. Mytton and his devoted
wife have worked diligently and
constantly for the advancement of
the church's work in this county
and their departure will be a dis
tinct loss. Rev. Mytton has been
extremely anxious for some time
to get "over there, where he
might be of direct service to the
boys in the trenches, and is elated
over his final acceptance.
This Sunday will probably be
Rev. Mytton's last, as he expects
to leave with his family at the
earliest opportunity. The family
will remain with Mrs. Mytton's
people in New Jersey.
The annual meeting of the
church will be held next Friday
evening, and it is probable a
student minister will be secured.

lected from the taxpayers in 1916,
and over twenty-three millions
went for salaries and other official
expenses aud less than seven mil

Can't the taxpayers see what IS
eating them up? The county has
thirty-eight separate municipalities
and 1877 school districts, all with the
mowers of assessment and taxation,
and with result that is chaotic

Development Work
In Georgetown Mines

The vein recently intersected in
the Georgetown tunnel is not to
be further developed, pending adj
vancing Of the heading of the
tunnel. The owners are satisfied
they have a bonanza, as the ore
tested gave returns of 400 ounces
silver, % percent lead and a small
percent in gold per ton.
Development is to be pushed
with greater energy by the install
alton of electric power in the near
future, and other necessary equip
ment with a view to greater re-
suits.
There is much activity in, evil
dence at the Colorado Central
mine, and the mill construction is
Progressing rapidly. 1t is pre-
dicted that inside of sixty days
the entire plant will be in opera
ton.
Bruce and partners are now
shipping for treatment about
twenty tons that will mill better
than 500 per ton and about twenty
tons that is worth $35 per ton.
The Capital company is still
pushing their drift west at the
rate of 300 feet per month, the
objective being to reach the end
lines of the famous Colorado
Central and Aliundi veins, which
is about 1000 feet distant.
Properties operated thur the
Hall tunnel are to be started with
renewed vigor in the near future,
when a very large production may
be looked for.
Wing and Jones this week
settled for twelve-ton shipment
from their lease on the Bellevue
mine, the ore being worth 800 per
ton in silver and lead.
Hafer and Thompson, leasing
on the Bellevue, are now asserting,
preparatory to shipping to Idaho
Springs, the only sampler now in
operation in the county
The closing of the Chamberlain
sampler is going to work hard
ship on the miners having small
lots, while it may have the effect
of eliminating the middleman in
the purchasing of ore, as most Of
the larger producers are arranging
to ship direct to the smelters.
There is rumor that new ore
masket is to be established here in
the near future.

Noted Irish Singer
Coming TO Denver

John Mccormack, the noted
Irish tenor, will sing in Denver on
the evening of March 25, at the
auditorium.
On this occasion he will appear
under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, for which he has
voluntarily agreed to raise $780,.
600 on tour that will take him
from coast to coast. Everywhere
he has been greeted by enthus-
iastic audiences.
Mr.. McCormack's forthcoming
appearance in Denver will be of
double significance. His marvel
Gus voice ordinarily is sufficient
attraction; but this time public
tribute will be added to by reason
of the motive of his nationwide
tour-in the interest of the great
Red Cross cause.
Every city and town adjacent to
Denver is expected to contribute
its quota to the audience that
should pack the auditorium on
the evening of the 25th.
The government is contributing
in a measure to the Mccormack
tour by expressly waving war tax
on all tickets to the concerts.
Denver prices for the occasion
range from 81 to $3.50.

principal reason why Three Faces

THE audience and not tho actors
really play Three Faces East each

Kelly's play use their minds from the

Yapp who created the role of the "cat"
In The Blue Bird" when Winthrop
Amcs produced the MaeterlinclS fairy
play at the New Theatre in 1910, and
his performance of the sleek velvet
coated misunderstanding animal will be
omembered long by those who saw his
remarkable makeup and felt the I'M
DERIVING significance of that subtle in
depreciation. Last season Mr.. Yapp
appeared as tho old Grandpere with
Jane Cowl in Lilac Time" receiving
vide praise for his vivid characterize
ton OF the veteran French soldier.
Though still in the early thirtles Mr.
Yapp seems fated 60 be cast for old
mon and character parts. Strange to

senillty are acComP lished with the aid
Of very little makeup. and it Is to his
remarkably mobile countenance that
No owes his power to depict many Wis
ages no two OF which are in the least
ankle. As the famous cat OF THE Blue
Bird the corners OF the Yapp mouth
were drawn up into a malicious grin
reminiscent OF the famous Cheshire
feline in "A.ice in Wonderland" and no
further facial makeup was employed
with the exception OF bit Of black on
the tip Of his nose and q pair of valiant
mustaclios.
During his engagement at the New
Theatre Mr. Yapp was seen in a num-
bor of parts calling for great variety
and ingenuity ia the matter of char
lcterlzatiOn. among them the Ret.

be- the best performance of this role
that the present generation has seen.

has been Slow up rather than Speed
