Tliero Is the usual lightness Of pbit, proverbial with this class of enter- liilniiicni. the story revolving around some lthnr*N-of mining slock, which, supposed to •lie worthless, pass, through several hands.

The authors, hnve written n bright snd In- teresting bonk, nnd Mr. Kerker bus furnished music much hotter nnd more pleasing than is usually found in this class of en- tertainment. Mr. Burnsldc, under whose dl- recilon . the production was staged, has proved himself equnlly clever as writer anil producer, und Jack Mason deserves much credit for the various dances which were ar- ranged under hlB guidance.
