CROWDED HOUSE
GREETs "F|-FI. !"
ST. ANTHONY CHURCH CHOIR
SCORE HIT WITH THEIR
MUSICAL FANTASY.

The bewitching musical fantasy,
"F-Fi of the Toy Shop" Wednes-
day evening at the Auditorium,
drew one of the largest houses ever
seen at any production in this city.
The tuneful music, charming dane
ers, gorgeous costumes and the por-
trayal of the principal roles pro-
duced an entertainment pleasing to
all and the commendatory express
sions on the production were num-
erous. in fact, the entire audience
was pleased.
1t is needless to review the pro-
duction of the play, the larger part
of our readers were there and saw
for themselves. However we Will
say that those carrying the leading
roles acquitted themselves with hon
ors and the dancers were most
char ming and their parts were put
on with grace.
The play was staged and dirccte
ty N;tel E. Bush representing the
by Mabel E. Bush representing the
Rogers Producing company and less
than two weeks were required for
preparation and production in the
| finished manner in which it was put
on. Miss Bush in speaking of the
cast said she had directed the play
| ing of this fantasy large number
/ of times and that never had she
found better cast than this and
| that Miss Campbell who played the
| part of Fi-Fi was the best she hao
found in 81 amateur productions OF
the play. She also stated that the
remarkable part of the whole affail
is that it was unnecessary to go out
side of one society to fill the cast
of over 100 characters, while in
many cities having triple the popu
lation of Ely, careful combine
among all the people was required
to fill the parts.
Not small part of the successful
production was the excellent musica
score and Accomplishments played
by Miss Bessie Gallagher and the
Hanson Orchestra, the singing Of
Miss Campbell, Miss Mccormick ane
Guy Coffey and the several choruses
not forgetting John Skube and Mat
Kobe. All gave their rather diff
cult musical numbers to the salts
faction of all.

that the principal reason for sur
rendering the lease was the objec-
ton of the Lonstorf estate, of Mil
waukee, one of the fee owners, to
an extension of it.
The Section 80 mine is located in
80, 63-11, in Lake county. Mime
sofa. 1t was opened in 1909 by Mr..
st. Clair and his associates. and the
property since then has shipped a
total of / ADJ 900 gross tons. The
property is developed to a depth OF
about 700 feet. Diamond drills
have confirmed the theory of Mr..
st. Clair that ore extends to depths
far below the present development,
and a new shaft of size and char
acter for deep operations is needed:
Such shaft has been planned, and
was started late last fall, prior to
Mr.. st. Clair's illness. The ore is
hard blue Bessemer and non-Bes-
semer hematite.
It is expected that there will be
news in the near future of another
lease of the Section 80 mine to
other interests.
The fee owners of the Section 80
property are Leonidas Merritt of
Duluth, the Eaton estate of Duluth,
the Lonstorf estate Of Milwaukee
and George A. st. Clair of Duluth.
1t is learned that Mr.. st. Clair some
time ago purchased the interest In
the fee that was owned by the
Pagan estate and by L. c. Harris
of Duluth.
The Section 80 iron property has
had long and checkered career.
For II years the ownership Of this
property was in dispute. During
that period it ran the entire gamut
of the u. S. land department and
from district court to United States
supreme court.

SH0CKER MAY PATCH UP
HIS ROW WITH BROWNS

ST. LOUIS. November 1.-The diff
ference between Urban Shocker, star
pitcher, and officials of the Browns
is matter between club and player,
according to President Johnson of the
American League, who. claims it is
not an issue that calls for adjudica-
tion by Commissioner Lands.
Shocker has appealed to Lands to
declare him a free agent as a result
of his suspension for violating a club
regulation. Shocker's lawyer states
he has received a letter from the COM
missioner saying the matter would
be given consideration in the near
future, and takes this as an indica-
tion that Lands will assume jurisdic-
tion in the matter.
Johnson said his visit was without
Significance.

Sisler probably would play next year,
as his defect in vision is rapidly i'm
proving.
