JUNIOR CLASS PLAY

Words Of commentator are rather
inadequate to fully cover the worth
of the motives of the Junior Glass
play given last Friday evening at
the Washington School Auditorium
or the capabilities of the caste "The
Hour Glass" is denominated a one
act morality play and if there are
any agnostics in this section of the
country it would have set them to
thinking if they had witnessed the
presentation. Of course, it would
have little effect on an infidel, al
though demonstrative of the final
situation in which the infldel will
find himself.
The three-act comedy presented
following The Hour Glass" had the
very appropriate title of "The I'm
portance of Being Earnest. One
must have been present and witness
ed the play to fully comprehend the
meaning of the title. 1t is one of
those comedies that rise to the
tions are pointed with the finest dis
play of word meanings. The person
or persons who chose the plays, are
to be complimented for the selection.
The writer is not warranted in men
tioning the name Of any particular
person who appeared upon the stage.
To mention one without mentioning
all would be unfair and discrimina-
Each member of the cast seemed to
have been particularly fitted for it's
character and the highest words OF
commentator can only be brought
into play in referring to each OF
them. Besides the fact of the per-
sonal adaptation of each one to the
part played. there was much evil
dence of long and constant drilling
and coaching. Many professional
have done worse than the local stu
dents and they are to be congratu-
lated Probably four hundred of the
people of Winslow were present.
The quality of the performance war
ranted double that attendance.

THE KATHERINE HAS COME IN.
TO IT'S OWN AS A MINE-FUTURE
BRIGHT

A good many years ago the mining
editor visited the Katherine mine in
company with John W. Young, then
chief field man for Senator Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., senator from Oregon.
At that time Stanley c. Bagg was
operating the property, milling the
ores in the old Sheeptrail mill. After
making an examination of the mine,
Mr.. Young was SO greatly taken with
it that he recommended it to his en-
ployer to purchase. Senator Bourne
at that time was in bad health and
concluded that he was not physically
able to take on further cares, especial
ly in the opening of a new mining
property. and the proposition was
passed up
Since that time many among the
learned geologists of the country, and
especially those in the employment OF
Uncle Sam, have given their stamp
Of approval to that country, being
especially taken with the massive
veins that outcrop everywhere, and
the big dikes cutting the country ira
versely. The same conditions also ef-
fected the mining editor and it has
been his vision that some day there
would be opened along the Blue
Ridge and Black Canyon ranges the
