Hyder weekly miner., 1924-03-03

Doubtless never before has Hyder witnessed a more genu- inely entertaining theatrical performance than was staged at Pioneer Hall Wednesday evening by the Hyder Minstrel troupe for the benefit of the Dorcas society and library fund of the Hyder M. E.. church. There was not a dull moment throughout the entire perform ance; the program from begin ming to end sparkled with clev- CT jokes, topical and local hits, merry songs, good music and clever characterizations. And not alone was the dialogue and musical offerings of the most entertaining character but the acting was also of a quality scarcely to be expected in a strictly amateur performance. Many of the characterizations presented were of decidedly difficult description but were acted in a manner that dis closed not only fine acting abil- ity but also careful study and training, as we'll as the excel lent stage directing abilities of Miss Marion Hunt, to whom is due the chief credit for the splendid performance.
 Following a delightful open ing overture by Mrs. F. E. Red- dick, piano, and Victor Dur and, violin, the performance opened with that famous old darkey classic, Garry Me Back to old Virginny," hum- med with splendid effect ''back stage" by the company while the curtain rose, disclosing the grand ensemble" of the old fashioned minstrel shows, with Ernest Blue as interlocutor, Dr. IF. E. Reddick as "bones, :"
 Mrs Mehlfeld as ''tambo", and
 the remainder of the troupe, consisting of Messrs. Fred Cameron, Earl Hinckley, Harry Howard, J. o. Lyon; Mesdames
 Albert Mayer, Louis Legge; 1;
 Misses Marion Hunt, Nave Coombe, Dorothy Mehlfeld,
 and Agnes Lundvall grouped in picturesque array in the
 background. The following number was "Oh! Harold" one of the latest song hits of the East, by the company, which

 Very Pleasing Entertainment

.tickled the audience immense ly and gained for the players much we'll merited applause. Then followed a rapid fire ex- change of quips and jokes between the interlocutor and
 various dharactcrs, acomid songs and recitations; a song by Miss Coombe, a character dance by Miss Helen Hall and George Arseneau. Antonio
 Grashio next appeared in a delightful poetical rendition of The American Beauty Rose," a poetization of George Be- bans famous "The Sign of the Rose" MT. Grashio is an ac-
 comphshe6 and experienced
 entertainer and his recital b. ought out in the fullest de- gree all the charm and pathos of the exquisite bit of poetry.
 MT. Grashio's clever present. ation was rewarded by two in- lcistent encores in which he dis played additional skill as a iok- ister and story teller.
 Following an intermission the rise of the curtain disclosed the interior of negro church, with the congregation assem- bled to hear the celebrated darkey divine, Rev. Rufus
 Huntington Washburn Cool idge, impersonated by H. H.
 Howard, discuss profiteering in all it's aspects, as we'll as other things. The burlesque was extremely humorous and
 one of the best things on the program. MT, Howard as the Icolored pulpit expounder DOT trayed the character in a way that made the ribs of a major l Iity of the large audience ache
 long after they had left the hall.
 In addition to those already
 referred to, the following are
 entitled to special mention for their meritous work: MT. Cam ieron, whose recital of "Admis- sion into the Army" was one of
 the best things on the program
 Dr. Reddick, whose songs and Jokes as end man were a source
 of continuous lamusemeht; Miss Hunt, whose recital oi
 "The Banjo" and rendition ot the song, "Dese Bones" were Famong the hits of the evening

NEW YUKON SILVER
 STRIKE LOOMS BIG

The latest reports from the new silver strike in the Bear river section, 50 miles from Keno City, indicate that the new district may develop into an amazingly rich silver field. Capt. Erickson and Robt. Fis- cher, have located three rich veins of silver bearing ore at a point about four miles from Silver Hill, scene of last sum- mer's strike. One of the veins carries grey copper that assay ed 2,200 ounces to the ton.
 Hargraves and Bussey, who are connected with the Yukon Treadwell Mining Company, were among the first to locate ground in the new field. News of the strike drew a consider able number from Keno City, and many stampeders se- cured claims in spite of 30 be- low weather.
 Thirty seven tons of mine machinery and equipment for the Riverside mine arrived on the freighter Oduna. The ship ment included a semi-Diesel en- zine and a compressor, in ad- dition to other mine apparatus, which will be installed at an early date.
 The shipment is the forerun- ner of an extensive movement of machinery for the newly projected 100 ton mill which will be installed during the coming season. The mine is said to have a large supply of good milling ore in sight and is expected to become an ex- cellent producer next summer.

 from appropriating $2,0OO .of municipal funds for the pur-
 pose of sending a represent Iative to Washington, on behalf of the proposal to divide Alas
 ka and to assist in furthering Iother measures of importance to Juneau and the. First Div-
 ision, Valentine, through his attorney appealed the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco, according to the Alaska Examiner, the new political journal published by
 John w. Frame in Ketchikan. The Examiner in making the announcement charges that the Juneau Empire is owned and controlled by the "corpor-
 ations" and, although giving a full account of Judge Reeds decision denying the injunct- ion, failed to announce that MT. Valentine had appealed. 1 A splendid series of Para mount and First National aJ- fractions continue to please the show-goers at the Stewart Op-
