Carter, the noted producer and playright, has written a thrilling and interesting play, cleverly depicting frontier life, which comes to Opera-house Sunday, Dec. 6th, showing the American aborignee as he lives in his wigwam, his habits, mode of living, his character and temperament.

One night was spent in the cabin of Mr. Knight, who with two companions, is engaged in hunting ducks on Blue lake. They enjoyed a fine duck supper, game being plentiful. The next night they took possession of a cabin on the roadside, and one night spent the time at one of the power-plants in Santa Ana canyon. They were well provided with provisions and blankets, but the weather was cold, and the trip uncomfortable. Both gentlemen were anxious to reach their mine, having recently received advices from their superintendent that a rich pay streak had been struck and pay ore being taken out in large quantities. As a result of their inability to reach the mine, work will be shut down until spring. The mine was inspected some months ago by State Minerologist Aubrey, who made assays of $8 per ton of surface ore. Later Mr.F raser of Los Angeles made a report upon the mine, confirming Aubrey's assays. The mine bears gold, silver and lead, and a shaft has been sunk to a depth of 102 feet. Mr. Lagman says for picturesque beauty Bear valley and the Santa Ana canyon cannot be excelled. Game was abundant, Blue lake being alive with ducks. Mr. Knight bags a limit of 35 birds each day, as do both of his companions. These are shipped to Los Angeles, where $6 per dozen is received for them. TURNER—MAIL Miss Susie Evelyn Malles, B.

The play is not, as might naturally be expected, a blood and thunder production, abounding in gun shots and other hair raising episodes, unpleasant to an audience, but is a faithful picture of life on the frontier, and in one of the famous government posts. It tells a beautiful love story, is replete with thrilling scenes and its characters are all taken from living prototypes, true in character and costume. It is claimed that it is produced one of the truest pictures of western life the stage has ever seen, depicting army and frontier life in and about the famous historical Fort Reno, the scene of so many stirring incidents in the pioneer days of the great west, when Indians and buffaloes were as plentiful as they now are scarce.
