"The Fatal Sear" company, which played before an Alliance audience last Saturday night, draw a large, crowd and from a financial standpoint was a success. The notorious Frank James is at the head of this theatrical aggre gation, and no doubt a curiosity to sec him brought many people to the opera house. As an actor, James is far from a star and no doubt would do a better job iu n more familiar but discarded profession. Cupid's Victims. 'Way hack in his school day life genial Will Manchester, like the majority of school lads, had a flame so to speak. She was a light hearted damsel who found much to admire iu the hoy of her choice. His genial, good nature made such an impression on her childish heart that it proved in delible and no matter where Manches ter roamed, there was one who never forgot him. Though time separated the school companions, Cupid kept tab on both and finally brought them together last Thanksgiving day at the home of a friend of the groom, J. D. Smith, in Denver. The name of the happy bride was Mtss iwanuc untie, and her home was Salt Lake City from whence she came to Denver the day previous to take such an important part in the marriage ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Manchester arrived in this city last Saturday and are at home for the present at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Kaley. We believe we do not ovei estimate the groom's popular ity when we say that lie will receive the well wishes of everyone who is ac quainted with him, and as for his bet ter half, a hearty welcome will he ex tended in this her new home.

'1 he guests spent a very interesting and instruc tive hour before dinner in looking over the exhibit on the walls, in which both schools were well represented by paintings in water colors, pen and ink drawings and English work, this taken with the work from the other branches of study showed careful preparation and explicitncssof detail, orig inality and freshness of idea on the part of both teachers and pupils. Shortly after twelve two long tables were loaded with Thanksgiving goodies, and after thanks was offered by Mr. Wilkinson the guests did ample justice to the sumptuous repast After tho clearing away of the dinner, the Misses Wilkinson gathered their re spective schools behind tho curtains which were first raised for an opening address by Naomi Taylor.

THE ALLIANCE MINING COMPANY Organization of a New Company Perfected .Last Saturday. An important meeting wns held in this city last Saturday at which a num ber of prominent business and pro fessional men of Alliance and iciiuty otgauized what is now known as the Alliance Mining company. This pro ceeding is the culmination of an investi gation ot some desirable mining prop- ertv situated near Mystic, bouth Da kota, and geographically iu about the center of the famous Black Hills. It is near to town and railway, having especial advantages in this respect. This proposition was thoroughly gone into and its merits sounded befoie steps were taken to complete the organiza tion. Several membeis of the conipanv made personal trips to Mystic and in vestigated the propei ty and with the verv favorable reports icceived from assaycrs at different points of samples of ore loiwauled, those inteiested pro ceeded along thoiough business Hues to organize for the development of what pi onuses to be one of the most valuable and highly productive mine investments iu the hills. The company has acquired title to a group of twenty-four claims embracing ovei 500 uuies. 1 n- iuieiiv is iuv crcd with a heavy growth of excellent pine timoer, which is of valuable con sideration iu itself. Besides this, the incorp.utcd land is tr,iotsed by Castle creek, one of the most important and beautiful streams in the Black Hills. The watci light has been secured and will be sufficient with an endless quant ity to spare. All in all this attraction is praised by every experienced miner who has investigated the same and it is the general opinion is expressed that with pioper management the Alliance Milling company that will receive many fold for the investment made. Iu speaking of this proposition, the Black Hills Miner, a publication of high authority on mining matters, gives the following write up of the company's interests in the hills: "The Alliance Mining companv is the name of the newest creation of the incor poration laws of the state coming to our notice. A majority 01 the oliicers and di rectors are residents of Alliance, Nebras ka.! and the property for which the com pany was organized to explore and de velope.is situated near Mystic and close to the line of the Burlington. The group taken over embraces 500 acres and aside from a large area of placer ground there are a number of quartz ledges outcroping. samples trom which give very lair assay returns. 1 he ore in this immediate dis trict is free-milling and amenable, as the tests have shown, to the stamp and amal gamation process without cyanidine, this, however, may change when developement has reached the original water level. The property is heavily timbered, which alone is a consideraton worth a great deal of money. Dr. Bowman, the mayor of Al liance, is the president; T J. O'Keefe, secretary, and Ira Reed, sheriff of Box Butte county, treasurer. The board of directors is composed of some of the fore most citizens of Alliance and are well known business men. There is unqestion ably some good ground embraced in the holdings of the company and under the right kind of management should be de veloped into an attractive proposition. Aside from the mining claims it has secured a valuable water right suitable for power purposes. Following is a holders: list of the stock- Dr. L. W. Bowman W. W. Norton J. B. Gray H. McClellan J. P.
