UNIQUE IRON MINE. Blocks of Ore Are Rectangular and Cemented Tocether. There Is no other such mine In the woild ns the Iron mine on Bell Island, Newfoundland It Is unique in many particulars. The company woiklng It Is known as the Dominion lion and Steel company, nt the head of which is II. M Whitney, of Boston. This neNV company, formed by the amalgamation of the Ferrona Steel company of NeNV Glasgow, Nova Sco tla, and the Cape Breton Coal com pany; controls a vast field of homatl:tj oi e, besides all the coal mines of Cap Breton and the lime-stone cjuuirles of Sidney.

Tho Audiences nt the Afternoon nnd Evening Performances Were Lim ited Only by tho Capacity of the Houses Billllnnt Production of 'The Musketeers" at the Lyceum. Elroy Stock Corapnny nt the Acad emy American Qnlety Glils at tho Gaiety Thenter. All of the theatres of the city reaped a rich hat vest yesterday. Tho uudl ences that saw the performances with in their walls were lltntted only by the capacity of the houses. At the Lyceum "Tho Musketeers" was the attraction, and ut the Academy of Music the Klioy Stock company pleased the multltudo that visited that popular amusement resoit. At both of these houses peiformances wero given ufternoon and evening. The Gaiety went them one better nnd after the regular eenlng peifoimance wt.s over gave a "midnight matinee." "The Musketeers." "The Musketeers," Sydney Grundy's veislon of Dumas' famous story of the same name, was presented ut the Lyceum jesteiday afternoon und evening before uudlences that taxed the capacity of the house. James O'Neill, In the tole of D'Artag nan, was given n veiy cordial recep tion. The story of Urundy's stage eiMon is us follows: Anno dc IJreull Is com ted by tlio Count do la Fere, but their Ion e affair 13 brought to an abrupt close, as the brother of a founer Iono of Anno, biands tho woiimn with tho rieur-dt-IK the sign of the com mon felon as punishment for tho Heath er she has committed. Anno de Hi cull then becomes ".Mlludl," a creature of Cardinal Richelieu and the Count de la Fete Is transfoinud Into Athos, one of the threo Musketeers. D'Artagnan, n lud from Gaseognj, Is on his nny to Paris to Join tho Muske tces. when ho at n wnjplde inn, tails In with Mllndl and Ulchclleu She makes love to him ns she tnlnks he can be ut,ed In the Cardinal s plot to trap tin. Queen. Impetuous and mUenturnus, D ArtngnaT keeps his assignation nt Mlladi's homo, only to (ind out that he is about to bo be traed, too, but thanks to his good sword ho escapes from the -crape and returns to his humble Irdelng In tho attic ot Bonacleux's home There he meets llouacleux's daughter Constance, with whom ho Immediate! fails m Iono She Is one of the Quien'i) maids, and through her lnllurnce, D'Aitagnan promises to s.inc the Queen nnd the Duke ot Bucking ham fn.m tho persecution of the Cardinal. Ho warns the Duke in time to get nNNiiy from tho Queen's npailments beforo the spies can como on their track. However they are alreadv dlscoNered b Mlladi, whom the Caidlnal hns In tioduced Into the Queen's household as one of her ladles Mllndl sees the Queen give Buckingham a Jeweled shoulder knot as a memoir before she dismisses him. The knot was gien to the Queen by King I.ruls In oidei noNV to provo her guilt. Itlcln Hni suggests to Lous that he rIno a state ball, whole the Queen should be present dressed In all her Jewels. When she learns of this slu Is In a predica ment ns to what to do to get the knot back fiom Buckingham, who Is already on the road to Dnglnnd D'Artngnnn ol untoers for this dangerous service and aided by his thteo friends, Athos, Port bus and Aininis, he succeeds In owrtuklng the Duke, getting po"-fenslon of the knot, and returning It to the Queen, Jut be. fere she Is about to make hei entrance Into tho bill loom When the King ses that she does possess the Jewel, he turns In u i.ige on the Cardinal, who has false 1 moused his Queen of dlslojaltv to him nnd banishes Hlchelleu from court. The r.ame ptuilsnment is meted out to Mllndl, and as reward for bis bniNeiy, D'Artag nan Kelt, tho hand of the fall Com-lnno In marriage. With the possible exception of "GIs monda," no thentrlcal production eve heen In Scranton had n more goigeous or elaborate stage setting than "Tho Musketeeis," ns piesented ut the Ly ceum esterday. It was ai ranged In four scenes and ten tableaux, and eaci of these tableaux compilse a full stage setting of elnborate scenery and mass ive furniture. In a dramatic way the performance was equally admirable. Mr. O'Neill was the embodiment of the leckless, Impulshe, dare devil son of Gascony, who came to Paris to hew out his foitune with his sword: for whom no enteiprlhe nnuk too hazardous If It but won him beauty's smile. The chut ac tor does not glo Mr. O'Neill nn op portunity to be seen at his best, for he Is the tiuest artist when he Is pei mitted to repress rather than expand a passion. Theie is no repiesslon lr icpose In tho character of D'Aitagnan, as Dumas portraed him, and Mr. O Nelll was the D'Artagnan of Dumas to the life. It Is doubtful if tho stage has seen a more irllo interpretation of that character during the present genet atlon with the possible exception of the lamented younger Salvlnl. Mr. O'Neill was surrounded by an excellent company. Noia u'BiIen was Anno of Austria, and Maude Odell gave a very icnllstic- portrayal of th devilish Mlladi Jefferson Llo;d,John W. Thompson and Mark ElIsNvorth were the tlneo musketeeis and Hd munel Brceso did a good piece of char acter work In the rolo of Cardinal Richelieu. Elroy Stock Company.
