ALLEN MeQUHAE. IRISH TENOR,

Allen McQuhae, Irish lyric tenor, who will eventually according to critics be- come the successor of John Mccormack held an audience of 800 spellbound with the magic of his clear resonant voice at the Community House on Tuesday even- ing when he appeared under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus for the bene- fit of the building fund MT. McQuhae was even better than when he appeared in this city year ago and his numbers which brought his hearers visions of Err ins shores were all rendered with voice that is flawless and technique that is masterly.
 The opening number of the first group of songs, Where Fer You Walk, an aria l by Handel convinced those who had new l CT heard MT. McQuhae that they were | listening to the voice of one would some time be the leading tenor of the 1 singing world Those who had heard Mr McQuhae before sat in silent an tieipation of what was to come as the l program progressed. A group Of Irish l songs Macushla, by Macmurrough Fog l gy Dew and In Dublin's Fair City from 1 the Old Irish and Molly Brannigan, by
 Villers Stanford. were rendered with ex- 1 quisite beauty and an unconscious pathos | which held his audience until the las I clear note had ceased reverberatlnf | through the hall Then there was storn of applause and MT. McQuhae responded with That Tumble Shack in Athlone which like his foregoing renditions wa enthusiastically received.
 MT McQuhae's second group of songs i while Irish in spirit and rendered witt
 that rare beauty of feeling only posses sed by Mir McQuhae, were of the com
 posers of the continent. They include
 the masterpieces of Rubenstein, Grie
 and Brahms Perhaps the one in whic
 MT McQuhae best displayed his remark

 Grieg. In this number MT. McQuha
 sang with expression and feeling tha

 forced to respond to the storm Of ar plause His encore was Those Endear

 MT McQuhae's best display of hi , mastery of singing came in the fourt : group when he sang Crying of Water
 by Campbell-Tipton. In this number h
 excelled all his past efforts and his at T dience thoroughly awake to the beauty ( t the number launched torrent of appr'

Start Inspection Work
on Gold Rock Mine

w. E. McCampbell and associ-
ates, of Colorado Springs, old
time mining men OF Cripple Greek,
have commenced work on the Gold
Rock mine at Russell Gulch. The
work that is being done now is
for the purpose of making an in
spection of the mine, and should
they think favorably of the prop.
osition after an examination, they
intend to do good deal of devel-
opment work on this property.
The Gold Rock a number of
years ago, was one of the leading
producers of the county and pro-
duced a great deal of smelling
ore that ran from eighty dollars
up to three hundred dollars per
ton besides large quantities of
mill dirt. and without doubt with
proper development will again re-
sumo its place as a great producer.
