That charming rural comedy drama, "Sis Hopkins." which for the past ?lght years hasdelighted countless thousands of playgoers Is booked for an engage ment of one week at the Baker opening with the matinee this afternon. The return of this play to the stage this season Is In answer to popular demand. For the past three veers. J. F Stirling, manager of Miss Rose Mel ville, who originated and has been play ing the character of "Sis Hopkins" ever since the play has been before the pub Hp. has been endeavoring to present a new play with Miss Melville In tha ti tle role. Miss Melville's popularity as an ac tress of rare charm and the absorbing interest which has been manifested In the Joys and sorrows of "Sis Hopkins" have made the presentation of a new Play an impossibility. "Sis Hopkins" has taken rank as one of the few really honest and wholesomely clean plays of the decade. "Sia Hopkins" has a story to tell, and it Is told in simple language with all the atmosphere and local color ing which are necessary to make a per feet picture of rural life, honest and homely. "Obadlah" haa a lot of new epitaphs thla season. The famous sem inary scene has been amplified and many new specialties have been added to It. Miss Melville's little song of home will be heard again, and she will lo her own dance, the "snakentlme."

"Bunko in Arizona." That there are a great many tricks in every line of business goes without saying, and In mining circles, exception la not the rule. An old trick that was practiced many and many a time in the far west mining claims was that called "salting a mine." Like all those who study out tricks and illegitimate meth ods of defrauding the gullible, they were not done by the conscientious prospector but by the adventurer. Their methods were to get a claim that had been worked and given up as non-paying, purchase a auantltv of auartx ore and sink it into tha mine: issue through the press circulars, glowing reports of me iucKy una ana sen stock to the in nocent investor, pocket the proceeda and declare the mine insolvent. Hundreds of thousands have been de frauded by these means, but now the scheme Is erenerallv known and not practiced to such an extent as former ly. It Is on record that the late Sen ator Tabor of Denver waa victimised in this manner. Experienced prospect or that ha was, but chagrined at being duped, he gave orders to the men, to keep digging. The dirt to hia experi enced eya looked as though mineral waa in the region, tan perseverance waa soon rewarded with the result that what was sold to htm 'by fraud, turned out to be the famed "Little Pitts burgh," the best paying mine in tha Leadville region. Miss Lillian Morti mer, the authoress of "Bunko in Ari iona," has given a true and realistic idea of the surroundings of a mining camp in the far southwest.
