AMATEUR NIGHT
GOES BIG; RAY
TALENT PLEASES
Entertainment at Clubhouse
On Evening of st. Pat
rick's Day Makes. .Tremen-
dous Hit with Huge Audi
ence

Lets go!" said the audience, and
they did!
The amateurs who trod the boards
at the clubhouse on the evening of
the day made famous by Saint Pat,
'got away with it," The show went
big" contrary to expectations.
Without a hitch, the performance
ran along, each act determined to do
its best to prove that Ray had the
talent-and the proof was there!
The entertainment lasted until one
o'clock in the morning, two hours
being given over to- dancing. Music
was furnished by the Ray Ragtime
Ramblers, with the help of Miss Null
len and Monsieur White, who put the
"rum" in drum.
The opening act, featuring 20 Death,
where is thy sting" made famous by
Bert Williams, was a musical number
entirely. Two songs with R. V. John
son in the role of an unbleached
American, with some new and old
Jazz by the ensemble, were we'll re-
ceived.
Private William Banker, of Camp
Gates, who is some monologist, was
the next one up. His anecdotes and
stories were enthusiastically ap-
plauded. Private Banker has had
quite bit of stage experience and
proved himself to be a frst-class en-
tertainer.
R. A. Strachan, who was TO have
gone on with H. S. Carpenter in d
comedy skit, presented a monologue,
with a finish including the Sailors
Hornpipe and the Irish Jig. Miss Ce-
cile Mullen and R. v. Johnson pro-
vided the music for his act, which
was cordially applauded Strachan's
act showed his histrionic talents are
highly developed.
Constine and company presented
a Jew dialogue. Your reporter, hav-
ing been a member of the act, cannot
very well comment upon it. He thinks
Plutarco Navarro, in an exhibition
of legerdemain and prestidigitation
(whewD proved himself a conjurer of
no mean ability. His feats were en-
Enthusiastically received as he showed
very clever sleight-of hand work Plu-
tarco was handicapped through not
being able to speak English, but this
was more than made up by the quality
of his work.
The show proper began at 815 and
last until a little past II p. m. The
clubhouse was crowded to capacity,
the audience numbering more than
400. The S. R. o. sign was hung out
at about 7:45 p. M, the club porches
being called upon to provide for the
overflow.
An amateur performance, per sc, is
one to which the audience comes pre-
pared to give the gawky stage aspir
ant the hook. While the club enter
tainment had been announced as an
amateur night, it was not the usual
type of amateur show There was not
a single act that was not well re-
ceived, and in view of the fact that
the entertainment had not been de-
cided upon until quite recently, this
is quite gratifying to the management.
That home talent exists in plenty
should be good news for amusement
loving Rayites, and the proof of the
theory that it does exist has been SUBJ
mitted.

TO START SOON
TO BUILD ROAD
SUPERIOR MIAMI

One of the first projects to be un-
dertaken by the state engineering de-
partment in it's bodybuilding program
will be the construction of the Su-
perior-Miami highway, according 20
Thomas Maddox, state engineer. An
appropriation of 100000 for the con-
struction of this new short line be.
tween the Globe-Miami and Ray-Su
perior districts will be available early
in June, the bill providing the funds
having been approved by Gov. Camp
bell this week
"The Superior-Miami highway will
be one of the very first roads we shall
build, said State Engineer Maddox
to a Copper Camp reporter this week.
"It is, of course, impossible to say just
how soon we shall get to it., as we
have not yet had time to get all our
work lined up, but as the money for
this construction will be available in
less than ninety days now, we are
planning to begin construction at the
earliest possible date. Surveys for
the work have already been made, and
we should be able to move promptly
in the matter as soon as the money
is available
The new Superior Miami highway is
expected to provide new short, cut
between Phoenix and the Globe Miami
district. While perhaps not as widely
advertised as the Apache trail via the
Roosevelt dam, the new road will re-
suit in saving of several hours over
the present rotue, and will open up
a direct automobile truck route be-
tween the Salt River valley and some
of the largest mining camps in the
state. incidentally it will provide d
new route to Globe and Miami from
Ray,> and will open up for develop
ment some of the richest country in
Arizona from a mineral standpoint.

BRITISH WATCH
 AMERICA UNDER
 A. DRY REGIME

LONDON.-P)-Britons are deeply interested in what is called the American prohibition experiment" and every published statement con- cerning the situation and the atti- tude of the American public toward the new order is eagerly read.
 The latest addition to such con- tributions is by the Archdeacon of Warrington, Cannon Howson, who has just returned from New York. and who unqualifiedly endorsed the law. His impressions. concisely stated, are as follows
 Prohibition has come to stay in the states. Those most opposed to it accept the inevitable. Those wht have paved the way for it are fac ing law enforcement. A very lars majority, to judge by hearsay and eyesight, agree that it is the best thing for America. The threats of mo beer, no work and riot and revolution are empty vaporings, and the work of the states and cities is going on unimpaired. Smuggling of liquor will go on for time. but by January the government will have the situation well in hand. Prosper ity is the result. Instead of saloons at the corners of the streets, banks are appearing. Happiness in the homes, hitherto unknown, has ap- peared on everyhand and children and young people are having their opportunity.
 "A dry America will be a terrific rival to countries which are wet" says the archdeacon. "All business men had better recognize this if they have not already done so. Dry ness does not Kill joy. voyaged on dry ship and wet one, and the experience was Illuminating. l have realized the marvellous power of whole hearted enthusiastic Organiz;t- tion as never before.
 America" added the archdeacon, 'has no desire to thrust herself or her views on Great Britain. She has discovered good thing. She only wants to tell the good news and
 in any way she can help progress, she is there to render that help"

RICHMOND GIVES DATA ON ALL
 INTERIOR MINING INDUSTRY

fits at work this season comprise the small Riley dredge on Otter, and the small Beaton and Donnelly dredge on the same stream; Walsh and Ford, open-cutting on Flat creek; and the Upgrade Association, who are using the scraper system. The big Yukon gold dredgge, on Flat, is shut down, and the future intentions respecting it are unknown.
 "At Marshall the situation is quiet this season. The same may be said in respect to Ruby. In the Circle dis t..ict the Berry dredge and some other operators are continuing operations and making good slhowings.
 Tom Atiken, the veteran Klondike operator, is carrying on big opera tions in the Kuskowim and the Kan tishna, and is one of the live wire miners of the country. He has a dredge producing steadily on Candle creek, sixteen miles from the Tacotna river at the head of the Kuskokwim, where Mrs. Aitken, formerly Miss Nc Henry of Dawson has rendered great assistance as local manager. Last spring she mushed over the trail from the coast to Candle and got the crews together and started the dredge while Tom attended to some of his business on the coast. Tom is calssed as a mill. ionaire and the firm of Aitken X Aiken as it is styled seems prosper. ing in ever respect.
 "The latest Aitken exploit is to open two silver properties. Tom cal culates on getting 1000 tons of silver lead ore this winter on Nixon Fork, about thirty miles above Tacotna. He will have to make-a haul of twelve miles over the snow to the river. He has ordered 10000 sacks thru us for the ore, and they are being delivered by Captain Wallace Langly's steamer Tana.
 "AitkeA also has ordered 10000 sacks with which to deliver 1000 tons of silver-lead ore from prop erty which he will work this winter in the Kantishna country, not far from Fairbanks. He will have to make thirty-mile haul to get the ore to the steamer Toms brother, William, who recently passed thru Dawson en route from the Outside, went to join Tom.
 "The Carlisle Packing & Canning company, which has a cannery oper- ating on the Yukon river near it's mouth, has been doing wtll, and it is estimated the pack will be 50,O00 cases for the season. The product is being shipped. out by way of St. Mich ael."
