Rose Melville in "Sis Hopkins."
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."
The popular bargain matinee will be
given Wednesday aa well as the regular
Saturday matinee, and there will be bo
advance in prices.

"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. This pro
duction la to be at the Star theatre,
commencing Sunday matinee, December
, and promises to ba one of the main
attractions of the ; season.
