Domestic Menagerie Featured In Sennett
 Photoplay at Grand

Mack Sennett's latest five-part comedy sensation Down on the Farm" released by United Artists (the Big FOur") will again be the big feature at the Graad this after. noon and evening
 Down on the Farm" represents Mack Sennett's genius as comedy king" at it's height. Through i've reels he carries the beholder through alternating scenes of comedy, tray esty, hilarious satire, serious drama and thrilling episodes, never permit ting the action to languish an instant but keeping it up at a speed typically in "Sennett tempo"
 The story relates the adventures in romance and finance of a trusting cOrn-feG beauty" namely, Louise Fa- Zenda. The romance of her life is provided by the hired help" whose fists are as big as his heart Finance is brought to the plot by the village banker-a kind of cross between Shylock and Don Juan or a mixture of Turk and shark The farm hand loves her for herself alone. The village house broker and home wrecker desires her for an inheri- tance, he existence of which, he, for while. alone knows. But Cupid gets up in the country with Chantecleer and starts on the job with the sun, so it happens, after five reels O, eX citement, hilarity, bursts of laughter and thrills Of suspense that loves labor isn't lost and that though the going may be rough in the country for romance, the altar and the preach CT await at the end of the lane to do fheir duty by the sturdy of heart
 Sennett comedy experts to be seen in this pretentious spectacle and masterpiece of humOr are Louise Fla zenda, Marie Provist, Ben Turpin, James Finlayson. Billy Armstrong, John Henry, Jr.. Bert Roach. Harry Gribbon and (not to be overlookeO, Teddy, MT. Sennetts Great Dane, ana Pepper, the latter's inherited enemy and expert inspector of cream The entire Sennett menag erie of feathered and four-footed folk is also graphically involved in the plot of Down on the Farm"

Hate" Marriage Is Basis of Plot In Big Play "ThunderbOlt"

Charged by dying father with the duty of averaging the family hon or of the Corbins by getting the last of the Pomeroy's," Bruce Corbin en- gineers hate marriage in "The Thunderbolt," starring Katherine Macdonald, the American beauty, and which will be seen at the Gen. tral Theatre Monday and Tuesday and the Eagle Theatre Wednesday,
 In the full bloom of manhood. Cor bin ruthlessly sacrifices the happi- ness that comes with wealth, popu- larity and position in order to carry out the wishes of his father. With Allan Pomeroy, the only living male member of the hated family, entirely in his power as a result of d fragrant bond forgery. Corbin realizes that his cherished VOW to "get the last of the Pomeroys" rests in his chances kpf preventing the beautiful and much sought Ruth Pomeroy from bearing children.
 "With You Your Family Dies" Threatening Allan Pomeroy with disgrace unless he agrees to sanction the marriage of his daughter to Cor bin, the latter compels Ruth to marry 1 him. The shock kills Allan Pomeroy and Corbin informs the girl that he
 only married her to avenge his fam | fly and insure the fact that the Pom ] leroy stock would die out with her; that she is the last of the Pomeroys With an iron will the girl refuses
 to let Corbin win. She determines I to establish the continuation of the Pomeroy family. How Ruth Pome
 roy wins a wonder rul victory makes
 fThe Thunderbolt" one of the most
 absorbing pictures to be seen on the 'screen.

AND ARIZONA COMPANY
 BUYS PRODUCER AT LORDSbURe.

Announcement that the C. X A. Min ing company has purchased the Eigh- ty-five mine at Lordsburg was con firmed last week by Col. John C.. Greenway Karl l. Mohler has been appointed superintendent of the mine and is now in charge. Colonel Green way said that the mine was purchas- ed subject to an investigation of the title.
 The report carried in a Prescott company has purchased properties in the Zonia- district near Prescott. is without foundation of fact, Colonel Greenway said The c. & A. com- pany has absolutely no interests in that district.
 In the Eighty-five mine the c. & A. gets a good property with record for production. It has been in oper- ation for ten years, and has shipped ore, practically continuously, either to Fl Paso or Douglas. The ore is de sirable because of the high percent age of silicia carried. The present output is about 1S5 tons daily, which will probably be increased after a program of underground development has been completed.
 The property is situated four miles from LOrdsburg, " NJ, in the Vir- ginia mining district. It is connect ed with the Southern Pacific at Lordsburg by railroad built several years ago, and a branch line of the Arizona and New Mexico reaches it.
 The Eighty-five Mining company was incorporated in 1909, according to the laws of New Mexico; capital ization $1,00O,00O; shares S1 par. In 1912 the Superior, an adjoining mine was purchased by the company.
 The Eighty-five consists of six claims, according to the Mines Hand book The mine, which is in rhyolite is developed by a 6OO-foot tunnel and 700-foot blind shaft, with a 300 foot air shaft to the surface; and $500 feet of drifting on each level The vein was estimated by the Eigh ty-five company to average 10 feet in width and to carry 3.5 per cent cop per. ounces silver and 0.01 ounce gold per ton. Its chief value is silica for shelter flux.
 The equipment includes 100 H. P electric motor, hoist, an S5 H. P. Fair banks Morse crude oil engine, as an

auxiliary. two 800 H. P. Lyons-Atlas Diesel engines and an Aldrich cleo tric pump. Ordinarily the company employed about 800 men.
 Reserves, over 460,OOO tons of Sl3.56 ore, with normal metal prices. besides ore between 210 and BIO levels.
 A new strike on 14S levels has yielded ore averaging 7.92 per cent copper, 6-ounce silver. and S5.2O gold
 The production for 1916 amounted to almost $1.5OO,OOO gross, as com pared with trifle over three-quarters of million in 1915. Shipments in 1917 averaged $25 ton.

TO INSTRUCT INSPECTORS
Hotel Inspectors to Meet at Jackson
vile In February.

Hotel inspectors are next in line
for special course of instruction to
be given by the State Board of
Health. The course, which will be
similar to that given the sanitary in
spectors of the state board when the
new administration assumed office,
is now being mapped out and will be
given during February.
The hotel inspectors will be called
in to state board of health head
quarters in Jacksonville for a series
of lectures by the various heads Of
departments. Textbook work also
will be included in the course, which
aims at equipping the inspectors with
knowledge that will result in 100
per cent sanitary conditions in hotels
and boarding houses.
Dr.. Ralph N. Greene, state health
officer, DR.. William J. Buck, assistant
state health officer and George W.
Simons. Jr., head of the sanitary
engineering department, are now at
work ranging the course.

by vote of 272 to 20, the result is
