Nine. Petropd
srTHE WHITE PEACOCK" in

ssTHE WHITE PEACOCK" in
which the Selwyns will pre-
sent Madame Petrova at the Shu-
bert -Garrick tomorrow evening, is
essentially a modern play. Not
merely in the question of politics.
but ON the moral side of life, the
author and star, Madame Petrova,
has endeavored to prove an equal
ability on the part of man and
woman to reach the same goal IL
given an equal chance in the race
for it.
Its central character is a wom-
an of keen intelligence, great gifts,
and deep insight into life. Mar
ried to Don Miguel. of the quaint
old city of Seville, ,Revette declines
20 accept his infidelities, and
leaves his roof. Being an artist of
rare ability, she is capable of MAX
ing her own way. Contending
that any woman is entitled to live
her own life who can personally
earn the material wherewithal to
support herself, the lovely Revette
turns a deaf ear to Don Miguels
pleadings, and an equally indiffer-
ent one to his threats of pushing
the Spanish law to the limit of its
power in forcing her return.
Into the situation comes Don
Caesar, an escaped convict, unjust
ly accused by Don Miguel and con-
victed of the murder of his father,
when that scoundrel was minister of
justice. This conviction was five
years before the action of the
play. Miguel has risen politically
and is on the eve of a political
crisis when he learns that Don
Caesar is in Seville. Caesar goes
TO Revette's studio for the purpose
of revenge, but when he meets Re
vette, sees her courage and frank.
ness, he cannot carry out his pur-
pose. Instead he stays and poses
for her, and to them come a great
love.
But a price is on the head OF Don
Caesar and Revette is still the wife
of Don Miguel. His henchman,
and the real murderer of Don
Caesars father, discovers Don
Caesars lodgings and tries to trick
him to the police. Revette's keen
wit and fine intelligence uncovers
the perfidity of the pair, and how
justice is meted out to them makes
a thrilling climax.
The production is one Of the
most handsomely mounted In the
history of the American stage.

OPERATORS WELL PLEASED
 WITH RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED

Having proven that two big ore sboots are nersistent and go to indef- mite depths, and blocked out two areas of ore sufficient in volume and richness to justify, the Fern Gold Mine company, a close corporation, con- trolled by Jerome Drumheller and Mar tin Woldson, is ready to install mill on the property and begin taking out bullion. This announcement was made recently by Messrs. Drumheller and Woldson who have just returned from Willow creek, where they inspected the development work that has been in progress some time. The property, located on Archangel and Fairangel creeks. consists of seven claims and development work to date consists of 575-foot adit tunnel that has de- veloped $50 feet of backs on two ore shoots, the first of which has been de- veloped laterally about 200 feet and averages about six feet in width and the second ITO feet along the vein an average of six feet. About five feet of both shoots is pronounced high grade.
 MT. Drumheller was not prepared to say anything as to the capacity of the mill to be installed, and it's introduc- tion to the property is contingent upon the extension of road improvements in the direction of Fairangel and Arch angel creek.
 One of the crying needs of the Will low creek district, says MT. Drum heller, is roads.
 Every measure of support should be accorded Colonel Steese and the Alaska Road Commission, which is doing everything in it's power to ex- tend roads where they are needed come one of the greatest deep-mine gold camps in America is based upon the time when roads make possible the taking in of machinery and equip ment for development. I realize what difficulties confront the Alaska Road Commission and what good work it is doing in an effort to assist the miners, but unless it is given special funds with which to build roads that will bring into immediate commercial pos sibility such revenue-producing indus tries as quartz-mining, the develop ment of the country will lag.
 Every mining enterprise developed means a demand for labor and sup plies of coal, and eventually the in dustry will exert it's influence upon all lines of endeavor in the railroad belt, especially coal mining"
