"The mining men say they have already received assurance of sup port financially from many of the prominent business men of the city, and expect still further support from other quarters in carrying out the plan, which calls for a heavy addi tional expenditure W.

"Nevada, without water or timber and with no better mines than we have, has been getting all klnda of eastern support, but now we are receiving many in quiries from eastern people who are turning toward the Coeur d'Alenes, British Columbia, the Slocan district, Oregon and the other districts of the northwest. "We want to be ready to take ad vantage of our opportunities. We have the ore, and what we want is the money to open it up.

As "Captain Corcoran," George Kroh was an infectious delight de bonair, graceful, unctlous and, de spite a severe cold, raced gamely through bis songs in a splendid voice, over which he w as always mas. ter. His work was a revelation. As the eccentric, self-centered "Sir Joseph Porter," T. P. Cramer fitted the part like the proverbial glove, and was easy and definite about all he did. His work, like that of Miss Mangum and Mr. Kroh, was scarcely short of professional calibre. T. P. has "done" Sir Joseph on various occasions, and does it so easily that, in slang parlance, it is a shame for him to "take the money." Hearty commendation should be allotted little Miss Vere Murray, who, after the part of "Josephine," the captain's daughter, bad been declined by three or four of our famous ch;;rch singers, bravely stepped la and, last night, with her modesty, her sweei voice, and exquisite, deli cate, girlish beauty, und with an art that concealed art, enslaved all hearts and triumphed gloriously. Her "Bell Trio" song and dance with Kroh and Cramer brought the house to its feet and was the hit of the per formance. E. S. Van Dyke, as "Ralph Rack straw," bore the heaviest lyric bur den, and acquitted himself with that distinction which is seldom lacking from any endeavor essayed by this many-sided man In any walk of life In which he Interests himself. Harold Harter ns "Dick Deadeye," and Hugh Derrick as the "Ho's'n," made sterling contributions to a per foitnanie that reflects grent credit on everyone connected therewith and of which Grants Pass should be proud.

From Thursday's Dally. (For the Courier By T. F. Hanley.) The Gilbert and Sullivan burles que operetta, "H. 51 S. Pinafore" was last night repeated at the Grants Pass opera house before a large sized audience. The performance, as on Tuesday night, was under the aus pices of Professor Turner's high school, and under the direction of Martin E. Robinson. Last night's performance was btfter. If possible, than on the opening night. All the old favorite appeared In the cast. Miss Mildred Olikrchill added to her elocutionary all J, lyric laurels by her rendition of the part of "Hebe," cousin to "Sir Joseph." Her make up was again a marvel. This chnrm- ' lng girl still in her 'teens p:..ye4 with convincing authority the role of a 60-year old spinster, not I mi tating to becloud her physical t-ire for the demands of the role. The chorus of 30 girls an I IS young men, again met every vocal and Terpischorean demand. We would like to spec'.fy four or five of the girls of the chorus for especial mention, but our courage falls us. Professor Applehoff's almost Incom parable orchestra was at Its best dur ing both performances. The combined attendance on the two nights was in the nature of a re futation of the belief In certain quar ters that Grants Pass was becoming artistically decadent and financially Impoverished. Among old timers here a compar ison of the recent performances of "Pinafore" with those of eight yean ago under the direction of the Grants Pass Choral Union under the leader ship of H. C. Kinney, is inevitable. The opinion of three or four persons, well qualified to judge, with whom we discussed the two productions, is that the recent revivals did not suf fer, unless perhaps lyrically, with those of March 1904. Of the 1904 cast principals and chorus only one T. P. Cramer appeared in the 1912 allotment of characters. Then ns now, T. P., sang ' Sir Joseph." How transitory is fame, and how the years roll by.
