MOVIE ACTORS
STAGING PLAY
NEARCORDOVA
-.- *
Arrivals on the Admiral Watson in
clude the producing company of the
Beaux-Art Features, a Los Angeles
motion picture corporation, who are
staging scenes for photoplays of Alas
kan life. The party is in charge of
President Albert I. Smith, who is
well known in Cordova. The leading
woman is Miss Dixie Dawson, a beau
tiful blonde, who spent a part of her
girlhood in Alaska and is entitled to
rank as a “sourdough.”
Herschel Mayall, the distinguished
star of “Carmen of the Klondike” and
other great productions, is the fea
tured player. Mr. Mayall is now on
his way and will arrive next week.
While waiting for him Director Wynd
ham Gittenes will proceed with the
rest of the company into the Copper
River valley to stage a number of
spectacular scenes at Childs glacier.
The stories which are being filmed
are representative of the real Alas
kan life and conditions, and could not
be successfully produced outside of
the actual Alaskan scenes. The di
rector expects to be able to use local
talent in some of the big scenes. At
Seward, Anchorage and other points
the party has had the enthusiastic co
operation of the Chambers of Com
merce and of leading citizens.
Miss Dawson, who will appear in
two extraordinarily strong roles, has
the distinction of being the “farthest
north motion picture actress.” She is
also the first girl to enter the famous
“Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes,”
under the Katmai crater, where the
party spent ten days after mushing
over thirty-five miles of difficult trail
in order to photograph scenes amid
the great steam jets from which the
valley takes its name.
PLATINUM STRIKE AT
VALDEZ AWAITS ASSAYS
Work on the platinum deposits dis
covered near town recently is held up
until returns can be secured from
samples of the dirt sent ont to Assayer
Louckes of Seattle. Several sacks of
dirt were sent out in a natural state,
just as taken from the ground, and
the analyses of these samples .fill de
termine the richness of the placers.
A previous analysis of concentrates
from five pans gave 8.5 ounces of gold
and .53 ounce of platinum, the plati
num being worth about $53. The actual
weight of platinum recovered from the
five pans was 102 milligrams.
Tests made by Valdez miners show
higher values of gold than were at
first reported. One pan of dirt gave
something like 95 cents of fine gold on
one of fhe claims.
It is stated by parties familiar with
the work that a hydraulic proposition
employing about five men could make
good money in this ground, taking it
on the gold values.
Until returns come back from the
samples sent in the last time, little
will be done by those who have staked
on the discovery. Whether Valdezans
are millionaires or stung will depend
upon the happenings of the next ten
days.—Valdez Miner.
EXTENSIVE CAVE HAS
BEEN FOUND IN MEXICO
SAN LUIS POTOSI, Mexico, July 5
(by mail).—Workers in a mine at Mat
ehula, near here, have discovered a
cave which is said to be one of the
largest in the republic. It is more
than three hundred feet below the
level of the mine, and if fifteen feet
in width. Its length never has been
estimated, but exploring parties ex
pect to survey it carefully in the near
future. One of the most fantastic of
its many adornments is a sulphurous
fountain which pours out continuously
a stream of blue water.

electric heaters are now for sale by

POSIES FOB HATS
Summer Headgear Trimmed With
Flowers and Fruits.
Lilacs, Wistaria, Lilies and Green
House Products Are Used—
Feathers Popular.
The old-fashioned flower-laden hat
in leghorn and in horsehair straw has
come back to us from out of the past,
and, true to type, it is trimmed with
collections of flowers in striking com
binations of vivid colors. White and
purple lilacs are used with sprays of
wistaria, and large flowers, such as
tiger lilies, pond lilies and even callas
are used on the larger shapes, says
Vogue. The flower-covered crown is
particularly adapted to the young girl.
For instance, a hat of a delicate laven
der horsehair straw which shines like
silver in the sunlight, has a crown of
old-fashioned pinks. For the older
woman, black lace Is shown for mid
summer—not, as one might think, in
an all-lace hat, but as a softening for
the harshness of white leghorn. It
also is used to veil the colored flow
ers of the large summer hat that is
stiff in line, rather than the floppy one
for the young girl.
Odd materials ai'e making their ap
pearance in the midsummer hats.
Corn husks that have been dried in
the sun and hand painted make an
ideal turban. They are light and,
when woven together, are fashioned
into a most durable hat. Softly
draped turbans and brim hats, either
mushroom in shape or with turned
brims, are shown in shaggy felts or
in long-haired silk duvetyn.
Feather hats will undoubtedly he
seen throughout the summer. The
uncurled ostrich feathers are, per
haps, most frequently used. Glycerine
ostrich and ostrich tips are used on
the large summer hats. For instance,
in a large shape of thin straw in
lemon yellow, four tips in different
colors entirely cover the crown, while
the spines of these feathers are paint
ed in a vivid color. An orchid colored
tip may have a vivid green spine,
while a French blue tip may have a
cerise spine. Tappe, as another nov
elty, is making a number of smart
hats with wreathes of fruit—lemons,
oranges, cherries, grapes and other
hothouse products. One of the smart
IS ONE WIFE ENOUGH
Bryant Washburn, who plays the
lead in “Filling his own shoes,” says
“Yes, a-plenty.” This is romantic
comedy of a young American’s experi
ence in a Turkish harem in which all
the beautiful ladies insist on his mar
rying them. Filled with terror at the
prospect of a hundred wives, he flees
and weds his one only sweetheart at
home. This picture was adapted from
Henry C. Rowland’s famous novel in
Ainslee s Magazine, and will be shown
at the Empress tonight only.
No one should be without an elec
tric plate, especially the kind with 3
