THE OPERA HOUSE. The Business Men of Butler Say it Must Be Rebuilt. Monday morning a Tims report- er called on a few of our business | men to get their views in regard to rebuilding the opera house, and | here is what they say: Pharis & Son, we are decidedly in favor of rebuilding and if necessary will take some stock. T. W. Childs, of as a matter course Iam in favor of rebuilding and will do anything I can as an in- | | ducement. John Steele, I will take stock in | the enterprise. opera house was a sad blow to But- ler and I will assist to rebuild it. Jas. K.

Levy, Iam most emphatically | in favor of rebuilding ed on for assistance, will not be sec- ond to any man either in taking stock or making a donation. W. E. Walton, I think the citizens of Butler should not tail to rebuild the opera house. When Nevada's opera house burned, her citizens met next night and took the necessa- ry stock to rebuild. The Butler peo- ple are amply able and can easily do the same if they have the will, but talk will not build it. As for myself I feel that I have done my share and the people of Butler ought not expect me to do more under the cir- cumstances. Grand Wolt Hunt.

Rollman, a prosperous farmer living eleven miles north-east of But- ler, while digging «a well on his farm some time since at the depth of 16 feet struck a miueral which he con- cluded was of some value. He im- mediately'sent it, together with other specimens picked up on his farm to William H. Leamon, at Rolla Mo., who sent him the following report of it: “No. 4, limestone and quartz, the black mineral is sphalenith of zine.” Mr. Rollman is elated over his find and thinks he has struck a bonanza, and we have no doubt he has, for the development of the min- eral resources of Bates county is only inits infancy, while other counties are finding their gold mines we will be perfectly satisfied with a rich zine deposite.
