THE CONQUEST OF CANAAN"
AT GRAND THEATRE SUNDAY

There's main Street" that runs
through Canaan" the mythical city
which Booth Harrington wrote about
the Conquest of Canaan"
In Canaan were some who were re-
spectacle and others who were not.
Once you were placed in the latter
class, it was next to impossible to
i've down the disgrace.
AS the title suggests, Main Street
in Canaan was conquered and by
two of the unrespectables, Joe Loud
en- and Areil Tabor. Ariel was for
tunate enough to inherit money which
cook her to Paris. Joe could not
bring himself to conform with the
Main Street conventions which a.
reused such prejudice within him
hat he was forced to leave town to
carve out better career.
The development of this interest
ing plot which brings out the biggness
as we'll as the pettiness of middle
sized town, is illustrated in the Para
mount perturbation of the "Con-
quest of Canaan" which will be
shown at the Grand Theatre on Sun
day. Thomas Meigham, as Joe
Louden, stars in the picture and
Doris Kenyon in the role of Areil
Tabor plays the leading feminine
part.

Constance Sheriff. had come in A
few moments before from an after
noon reception; the servants tod her
mt once that something was happening
at Mr.. COrvet's. They had heard
shouts and had seen a man pounding
| upon the door there. hut they had not
taken it upon themselves to 60 over
there. She had told the chauffeur to
wait with the motor and had run at
once to the telephone and called Alan;
his attempt to put her or made her
certain that what had happened was
not finished but was still going on.
Her anxiety and the sense Of their re-
sponsibility for Alan overrode at once
all other thought. She told the serv-
ants to call her father at the office
and tell him something was wrong at
Mr.. Corvet's; then she called her maid
and hurried out to the motor.
"To Mr.. Corvet's-Quickly!" she d.
rccted.
Looking through the front doors Of
her car rs it turned into Aston street,
she saw young man, carrying doc
tors case, run up the steps of Cor
vets house. Constance recognized
him as young doctor who was start.

was just being admitted as sne and
her maid reached the steps. Alan stood
holding the door open and yet block

"You must not come in" he denied
her: but she followed the doctor so
that Alan could not close the door
upon her. He yielded then, and she
| and her maid went on into the hall.
She started as she saw the figure
upon the couch in the library, and as
the sound of its heavy breathing
reached her; and the wild fancy which
had come to her when the servants
had told her Of what was going on
fancy that Uncle Benny had come
back-was banished instantly.
Alan led her into the room across

STERLING SILVER CUTS
PROMISING STRINGERS
NEAR APPROACH TO VEIN INDl-
GATED IN HIGH GRADE
SILVER BELT.

Good progress is reported from the
Sterling Silver Mountain companys
work on Big creek, where a crosscut
tunnel is under way to cut the Ster-
ling vein at a depth of about 500 feet.
The formation in the crosscut has
been very hard, but a change was en-
countered during the week which will
speed. The crosscut has been extend
ed over 700 feet Several promising
stringers were cut during the past Is
feet. which leads to the belief that
the vein may be near at hand. The
stringers are well mineralized and
carry the Characteristic high silver
values of the Big Greek mines. Sup
erintendent Harry Morrell reports
that the present formation and string
ers are identical with the producing
mines of that section and that the
main ledge may be encountered at
any time.
Sterling Has Good Neighbors.
The Sterling crosscut is prospecting
a new section of the Big creek dis
trict, but the main vein system is re-
lated to that of the Yankee Boy and
Polaris groups, which the property
adjoins on the south. The upper
workings disclosed a strong fissure
vein which will now be reached at
depth.
The recent high water on Big creek
washed out a considerable portion of
the main road near the Yankee Boy
mine, which has caused some incon-
to the Big creek operators.
But this is merely temporary and does
not affect the outlook for unusual ac-
tivity in that section this year The
Bunker Hill is pushing development
as well as production on the Big
Greek mine. while the Sunshine COM
pany yankee Boy under the man
lgement of r. S. Merriam shows a
steady improvement in operating re-
suits.
