Thinks Story of "Rebellion In North
la Faked Up for the Czar.
(United Presi Leased Wire.)
Vienna July V. The reports from St.
Petersburg to the effect that there is a
revolution In .the north of Persia are
regarded with suspicion here. It is
thought the reports are purposely exag
gerated In order to give the czar a
pretext to make a military demonstra
tion In the north of Persia. The situa
tion Is being watched with the keenest
Interest.
Vienna, July 1. Diplomatic circles
here ere keenly Interested In the recent
developments in northern Persia and it
is openly admitted that Austria regards
with suspicion the advance of the Rus
sian forces Into Persian territory. That
Vrsr Nicholas 1s planning a grab of
Persian territory and la using the
malcontents of thft shah's realm
to further his own Interests, seems
to be the general opinion here.
Dispatches received from the frontier
state that the rebellion in sforthern Per
sia has .taken on the aspect of a real
war and that the casualtty list runs Into
the thousands.
The cxar's forees In Persia now con
stitute a respectable army, according
to the bent art vires obtainable here, and
every ablp-bodred man of fighting age
in the shah's territory is in arms. The
viceroy of the Caucasus is mustering
fresh forces as rapidly an possible and
la holding dnBy tnnfereiir.es-Trtfh" the'
Russian military authorities. . f ft
A dispatch received from the Teheran
says that qulot has been restored in
the Persian capital and that II members
of the national council contfdmued by
eourtmartial have heen executed. There
srn indications that the sultan of Tur
key will intervene to prevent Russia's
galnlntr too stron a foothold in Per
sia and In this event, the affairs of the
Caucasus may Involve nil the nations
that impinge on trie Balkan peninsula.
The situation In diplomatic circles is

Robert Man tell as Macbeth at the
Helllg last night was something to be
remembered. From the sturdy; Impetu
ous, respectable, thought not overscrup
ulous soldier before temptation gets
hold of him, to the wasted, tremulous,
conscious seared villain, is 'a long and
tragic way. AsHr. Mantell portrays it,
however, it is a most absorbingly real
istic way, and inevitable from the first
half formed thought of wickedness. It
was a -great , interpretation, and the
tragic horror of it remains.
Miss Lillian Kingsbury proved a irnyit
able support. Her l,adr MacbeJh was
a virile character, Whlle-not minimiz
ing tne unscrupulous, the overwhelming
uuiumoii mm spurs ner on to ine ac
complishment of the tragic 'and awful
deeds, she succeeds in putting into th
portrayal so much of tact and grace,
so sincere a love for her husband, and
so much of the womanliness that as
pires for her husband's sake and not for
tier own that the character of Ladv
Macbeth takes on. a new meaning and
pwww. ii wyuiu noiiiave Deen so great
a piece of work had she not the com
pellinjf personality that she has, and
the deep full voice that carries out so
ably the depths of her nature. Her
Lady Macbeth was a remarkably able
Interpretation of one of the most com
plicated characters in fiction; some
thing that transcends the personality of
one woman and becomes a reading- of
humanity itself.
The cast was uniformly good, Mr. Mc
Ginn aa Macduft proving particularly
strong. The scehe which brings him
the news of the raid of his castle and
the death of wife and children was
splendidly done.
All the minor characters were ahly
carried, although they are so unim
portant by contrast wih the Intense
things that are working- out In th ph.r.
acters of the two principles that they

The settings were appropriate and

An Old Placer Miner's
Opinion
Mr. F. B. Ketchum of Yaeolt, Washington, is an
old phcer miner, and has operated mines of hia
own and in partnership'with others. He is a man
of good judgment and careful and conservative, in
all his statements.. He returned from the, Florence
placer ground a few days ago, greatly pleased with
the outlook. During his stay iri the district he had .
not the beat opportunity to prospect the ground; on
account of high, water. It was tod wet to sink shafts
and pan out tjie gravel, but he made it a point to
investigate as thoroughly as possible and to make
inquiries of those who had been in the district' and
mined there longest Among others he met two
who had worked the gulches since 1860, one a man
now age 86 who pans a few hours daily and is con
tent with his average income of $100 per month.
This gentleman gave Mr. Ketchum many incidents
of the early days of the grea Florence camp, among
others the story of how "Three-Fingered Smith,"
with only a primitive rocker, cleaned up $700 per
day in the Florence gulches. Speaking most cheer
fully crPthe prospects of the-Florence Placers prop
erty, Mr. Ketchum said: ...
"It is, qf course, impossible to tell what you have
until your elevator is actually at work, but if the
property is one half as good as it is pictured by
those who know it well, it will doubtless, pay your
stockholders from 100 to 200 per cent There is"
no use in talking, it certainly looks good."

TWO MORE CLAIMS ADDED TO THE FLOR
ENCE PLACER COMPANY'S 27, INCREAS
ING OUR GROUND Tty 580 ACRES
Our alert mining engineer, Mr. H. B Perks, writes us from our Florence m In frig camp that he discovered amother tract of placer ground oom
prlsltor two claims of 20 acres each, which he has filed upon In the namaof the company, and this Increases our holdings to 680 acres, or 2 claims in
all. -And the reader may be sure that if Mr. Perks thought enough jf this ground to file upen It. it is worth filing upon, because he 1 not one who
"runs wild' and tskes up ground merely to add to his .territory. It must have merit must possess real worth or he would not trifle with It; there-
fore, we suppose It would be -perfectly proper to set our mark a little higher than it ever yet has been, but still we are content with out former pre
diction that this stock will pay at lost 00 per cent to Its owners, once the mine is In full blast. Mr. Perks exr""ts to be washing gravel bv the first
of September; hence, he soys "expenses will bo heavy for some time, because we will have to be going some if we get the water flying by September 1."
"I WILL HAVE THE ROADS COMPLETED WITHIN TEN DAYS"
He wrote last week, which means that they must be almost readv for travel now, or at least will t before this week Is over. "I have ;s men em
ployed on the road and In putting the flnlshlngtouehes on the ditches, and will soon be ready for Uie sawmill and the r'P'ng you shipped from Port
land and Seattle The water has receded from Ftltes so that that terminal is In good condition again. I hae staked two claims at the mouth of
Crandall Gulch, the Violet, 900x1,000 feet, paralleling the Laura, and the Crandall. same size, paralleling the I.ulu. This Increases our holding to 580
fcr?' 11 therefore, seen that Mr. Perks Is not wasting any time, but is working In all directions for the best advantage of all who are Interested
in the Florence Placers. -
THERE ARE "NO IDLE HANDS AROUND THE FLORENCE PLACERS CAMP
We have a great property up there, and every man "feels It in his" bones" and fa working with a vim akin to the soldier throwing up army breast
worics as he views the enemy approaching in the distance. He labors with might and main. His one thought is to conclude his task. The one am
Dltlon or our men is to get ready for the monster giants and delve down into Nature's chest of gold.
