Prince Consolidated Mining company

pany at Salt Lake City next Mon
day, May 18th, and number of mat
ters of vital Importance to those in

tory means of financing the Company

will be commenced this summer The
resumption of deep development will
mean much to the progress OF the

Ore shipments from the Phoebe

tonnage of base lead silver ore from

JOHN BARRYMORE IN "DR. JE
KYLL AND MIR. HYDE"

The finest piece of acting that ever
appeared on the screen is done by
the wonderful stage genius, whose
work has caused sensation during
the past two years. The story by
Robert Louis Stevenson, is known
to most people, but it has never been
so well told or so grippingly por-
trayed as in this picture. There Is
not a flaw in it, and Barrymore in
the dual role rises to heights never
before reached by any actor on the
stage or screen. The beautiful
Martha Mansfield, renowned FOL
lies" beauty, is the leading woman.
Brandon Hurst, noted English actor,
and Charles Lane are in the cast.
John s. Robertson, who directed
John Barrymore in '"The Test OF
Honor" and Sentimental Tommy,
is the director. Clara S. Beranger
wrote the scenario. The scenes show
ing the Transformation of Jekyll and
HYDE are marvels in melodramatic
construction. This may be called q
motion picture production without q
flaw in detail of construction or in
acting.

Chester H. Cook who has charge
of the development work at the Mas

responding nicely to the work now
being done and 1t is expected that the
downward extension of the ore body,
recently opened up in the deep winze
will shortly be encountered. When
this work is completed, the ore can
be more economically mined than
heretofore.
Three cars of ore have been ship

grade of ore averaging about $500
per ton, the principal values being in

P|OCHE POLITICAL
RUMORS FAINT
AND ELUSIVE

With the opening of registration
but two weeks distant il is strange
that SO few aspirants for political Of
fee have so far announced them
selves. Present State Senator A. l..
Scott is becoming quite prominent
in political circles as a probable can
didate for Representative in Con-
gress and under his leadership other
Lincoln County politicians may short
ly appear in like prominence.
Charles Culyerwell, the present
sheriff, u politician of mature ex-
perience, has little to say being kept
busy rounding up Meyicans at Cal
iente, ii appears most probable, how
ever that he will be candidate to
succeed himself. George w. Franks,
the present County Treasurer, states
that he has legal aspirations which
will leave that desired position open.
Both Mrs. Dolan and Miss English
state that domesticity is more attrac-
tive than publicity and with the GER
tainty of ultimate marriage. a num-
ber of Lincoln County ladies should
be eager to try their luck with the
certainty of future welded bliss.
A definite announcement for the
office of County Commissioner Is
promised for the next issue of the
Record and the political ball should
soon be rolling merrily.
