PORTLAND SINGER STUDYING IN NEW YORK HERALDED AS ONE OF FOREMOST CONCERTISTS Mrs. Henry Metzger's Voice Astonishes Musical Judges Thais, at Metropolitan, Delights Vast Audiences and Schumann-Heink, Who Sang There Before Her Recent Accident, Achieved, if Possible, New Fame. BY EMTLJE FRANCES BAUER. . tEW YORK, Feb. 27. (Special.) "Thais" at the Metropolitan, X 1 Mme. Schumann-Heink as Erda In the third music-drama of the "Ring" cycle, and the visit of the Boston Sym phony Orchestra gave music lovers something of which to talk and some thing to enjoy recently out of the or dinary laviBh offerings of this season. Notwithstanding the capacity audience which heard the Saturday afternoon concert of the Boston orchestra there were more than 100 people on the stage at Aeolian Hall to bear Bauer and Casals In tbelr Joint recital. Those present were perfectly sura that often as these two great artists have been heard together they had never played as thy did upon this occasion. Those who heard the Boston Symphony Orchestra are unanimous also that such precision as was shown in the performances was absolutely uncanny. Some people In the audience were overheard to say that It was like a band of soldiers re sponding to the call, which was not a happy simile at this moment. The return of Mme. Schumann-Heink, If only for the few minutes needed for the Impersonation of Erda in "Siegfried"- brought out scores of ar dent admirers of this great contralto and dearly beloved woman to the Metropolitan on Friday afternoon. It was expected that Clarence Whitehall would be heard as the Wanderer, but there was great disappointment In this Inasmuch as he did not appear. There will be further disappointment for those who await the appearance of this great American baritone aa announced for the role of Chaucer In the De Koven "Canterbury Pilgrims," Inasmuch, aa several weeks ago it was discovered that the part lay not for a baritone at all. but for a tenor. In consequence of which Sembach was put into the role. One may incidentally wonder why Alt house should not have been given this part instead of the Squire, since he would have the language under his tongue better than Mr. Sembach. with all recognition of what the German singer has accomplished In the mastery of the English language. Albert Reiss, whose English is quite a masterstroke, will have the third tenor role of the work. Sembaoh rave a splendid perform ance of the title role of "Siegfried Friday afternoon, one In which the beauty of his voice never seemed greater. Mme.

Captain Tauscher was one of the vast number of persons who sailed for Europe on that boat. Aside from Mme. Schumann-Heink the cast was the same as usual, with the unsurpassable, probably unequaled Mime of Albert Reiss and the equally finished impersonation of Mr. Goritz as Alberlch. Basil Ruysdael gave his usual sonorous Fafner and Edith Ma son her bird music Mr. Bodanzky was the conductor. French Music Welcomed. In the evening French music was welcomed by an audience which filled every part of the bouse to suffocation, which went to prove that although Massenet was brought forward In "Thais" 20 years late when It was first sung with marvelous effect at the Man hattan, and It is much older now. it still has the power to Interest a wide public. Perhaps the greatest Interest lay in the fact that Geraldlne Farrar was In the title role, a part which one cannot well separate from Mary Gar den, who made her American debut In this part and Into which aha brought something , beyond ' the individual. .(Concluded ou . two.X BY ADDISON BENNETT. ' IN OCTOBER last, H. L. Holmes, of Geneva, N. Y.. purchased for him self and Eastern associates the fa mous old Greenback gold mine, which is situated about 25 miles north of Grants Pass, Or. Mr. Holmes had been inves tigating the .mine for several .months before making the purchase and bad the reports of many engineers on the property, most of which were favorable. The Greenback Is an old property and for a time was a heavy producer, more than $2,500,000 worth of gold ' having been taken from It- When it was first opened "it produced free-milling ore, which continued down to quite a depth. Then the company ran into tellurlde ore, which it seemed unable to handle. After spending considerable money In investigating many methods of han dling the ore the company became Inert and the mine stood practically Idle for a number of years. When Mr. Holmes and his associates took hold of the mine they at once began the Installation of proper ma chinery to handle the ore: they also be gan the sinking of the main shaft, which Is now down to a depth of 1200 feet, and started the drifts down to a depth of 900 feet. At every turn and every point the quantltv and quality of the ore has led them to believe that they are going to have one of the great mines of the West. In the pile of tail ings left by the old -owners Mr. Holmes estimates, after thorough tests and as says, they will get $100,000 worth of gold. 40 Men Now at Work. The company has already expended about $30,000 In new machinery and buildings and has a' force of about 40 men at work. The new processes em ployed seem to handle the ore without difficulty and the output even at this early date is more than satisfactory. Mr. Holmes, who is now on his way to New York to Inspect certain machinery being built for the company, says with the small force he has now had at work for about 60 days the company has enough to keep a 200-ton stamp mill In operation many weeks. This ore runs from $8 to $40 a ton. There Is now in operation a complete' plant In every particular, including 40 stamps, crucibles, amalgamating tables. Wifley tables, air compressers, motors. engines, transformers. In the work ings everything is arranged for econ omy and safety, such as tracks, cars, power drills, air pipes, while all of the buildings ana me entire mine are lighted by electricity. The company recently closed a contract with the California' Oregon Power Company for current to the amount of 200 horsepower. The company also has water rights from Graves Creek equal to 150 horsepower. The buildings, such as assay office, blacksmith and machine shops, wood working plant, olllces, messhouses. storehouses, are all complete In every detail and of dimensions to serve a force of 150 men. which will be the normal cumber employed when the ma chinery is In complete operation and running to capacity. The company naa pmrcnaaed some land adjoining the old plant and Is now the owner of a solid tract of about 800 acres. Some of this Is heavily tim bered and as the company haa Its own sawmill there via be aa delay In set- Hf'v X- ' A iS' 1' A 1$ r? i- JT ,1 f III g" L ))) I 1 1 n ff mine tlmh t-h at m.

Mr. Holmes is presi dent and general manager, and F. F. Chllders, a mining engineer, is super intendent. Mr. Holmes has been In the mining business for many years and has operated successfully In Colorado, Arizona, California and Canada. This is his first venture in Oregon, but he thinks he has a property that will con stitute his life work. As Mr. Holmes hurried away to the train he had this to say: "I consider our section of Oregon one of the very best In America and I think money and intelligent development will demon strate this. The country has been held back by people who have mined only for pockets on or near the surface, where Is found the richest free-milling ore. "Before purchasing tne Greenback property I carefully Investigated no less than 16 properties In the mining sections of the state, and all investi gating was done with as good engi neers as I could find. I finally settled on the Greenback as the best mine of them all and I expect to make It one at the. best properties and biggest pro- to the letter. f ' "I am not saying these things- tf .""., "boost the Greenback, for we need'n-i '"V 'boosting,' as we own the mine out .' right, owe no man anything and hav no stock or bonds for sale- nor will w ." have.
