noon, if plans are carried out,
weather permitting.
The Big jim is now running
full blast at the mill, turning out
concentrates of fine quality,
which are going forward to the
smelter rapidly. A road has

a great saving in the handling

The shaft sinking operations
are going along steadily and a
depth of Bis feet or more has
been reached. with every indica
tion of opening up another high
grade shoot Of ore. Formations

those struck before opening up
the big ore body.

A difficulty arises in discussing the
personnel of the "Pickwick" Company.
AS the scenes pass, one player seems
to have scored a commanding hit, only
to give way to another player whose
hit is no less commanding.
For awhile 1t seemed as if the in
sidious and ingratiating Mr.. Jingle
had claimed supreme interest. Then
come the Welliver family, with their
significant and immortal utterances on
the subject of "vidders." The Pick

of delicious satire on the desire of
simple intelligence for solemn distinc-
tion; and behind all the play of mo-
tives, more or less obscure. is the
lamblike but indomitable heroism of
Pickwick himself.
The production is so elaborate and
beautiful as to create apprehension.
However splendid and meritorious a
work may be. it's future must remain
in constant jeopardy If the enthusiasm
OF the artist has carried him too far

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
Many names appear in connection
with this presentation of "Pickwick. "
1t would on first consideration
seem impossible for so large a num-
ber of people to contribute esp-nsibly
TO the dramatization: vet ths- result
liz a. brilliant example of focused
energies.
The actor often overwl elms the
author and the author eaten over
whelms his original source 3f inspirar
ton in processes of adaptation or
translation.
In the present case there Is but one
dominant name, "Pickwick." Dickens
himself is subordinate. AS in the
case of F,rankenstein. the fabrication
has risen above its creator.
But this Pickwick is no monster.
Previous Pickwicks have been. not
types Of humanity, but exaggerated
semblanceS.
BY contradicting the ordinary rules
Of actor reasoning, John Cumberland
scores a triumph. No man could be
more self.effacing and sincere. No man
could be more reluctant to sport a
scene Of sentimental delicacy for the
sake of a transcient laugh.
Surrounded by a galaxy OF char
acterization, Pickwick, with an un-
wavering glow. remains the Alpha Of
the constellation.
The feat is wonderful because it is
accomplished by methods far apart
from the self-exploitation which has
become 30 common that even the most
casual observer must understand its
mechanism.
Research is a dull word. Frank
Reilly has redeemed it. He has been
first q Dickens enthusiast. He now
arrives as a Pickwick fanatic. Years Of
devotion to the adventures of the gen.
tie companion who in default of more
distinguished association strives to
conduct his loyal friends into the do
main of pseudo-science have enabled
him to restore Dickens to his rightful
position as not only a novelist, but
dramatist.
The character of Pickwick is be-
loved. To every reader of books he is
a cherished friend. Apparently he has
lacked, heretofore, what the motion
pictures refer to as CONTINUITY" In
the book he has fiourished incidentally
with hearty effulgence, only to be
eclipsed time and again with one of
the droll characters which sprang so
easily from the Dickens imagination.
Mr.. Reilly freely accepts RESPONSE
bility for the drudgeful task of as
sembiing the remarks and the adven-
lures of Mr.. Pickwick into material
for consistent character study.
1t has, apparently. been the duty of
Cosmo Hamilton to arrange this
material. arrayed with scholarly de-
Votion, into a form providing sus
pense, climax, and even thrill. The
thrill Is discreet and loyal to the ar
ristic theory that in order to interest
