The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, June 27, 1897, Page 28

THE SAN FRAN CISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 1897. There can be no question sbout muslin | formed of a couple of straps of ribbon | ously cheap. Forexample, a dress lenzth being “the thing.” It is the idol of the day. Spotted and sprigged and plain, in light and dark colors, in every imaginable variety of quality and pattern, muslin is | the material of the season. In delicate | shades for the maid and more somber ones | for the matron it suits all ages and com- plexions. | We are goinz to wear it everywhere, too. | For morning gowns we have it in cambric | designs, simplv made, so that acquaint- ance with the laundry will not be too dif- ficult or destructive. Nothing could be prettier or more reasonable than thissame | muslin, daintily made up with lace and ribbon for aiterncons, while for dress wear, made up over glace silk, it is not only beautiful but presents a very elegant appearance and is quite nice enough for any ordinary occasion. | Iam afraid we 100 often overlook our younger generation in our desire to inter- | est theirelders, but here at least is one gown especially intended for a young girl. It is made of blue and white muslin, the pattern consisting of undulating lines of white on a pale blue ground. The bodice is simplicity itself, being of the ordirary | blouse variety. Over this is a bolero o! coarse white Irish lace, cut a little square at the throat, hanginz in square tabs, and | outlined with a little frilling of plain white muslin. The sleeves are nzhx-‘ fitting, widening a trifle at the top, and | sre trimmed with lace at the hand. The rtis plain-trimmed, with a flounce of | the materal beaded by a rather full ruch- ing, also of plain white. The belt is of | white watered ribbon, loosely tiea in a | bow at one side, the ends falling almost to | the bottom of the skirt. | The reason for the immense and increas- ing demand for the finer quality of muslin | is obvious when we consider its wonderful | utility. Ose of the very prettiestand | most elegant tea gowns I saw was made of | this same popular material. The ground was pure white with wavy lines of Nile green upon it, varied at intervals with lit- tle bouquets of pink roses. This was mounted over rose pink glace silk ana trimmed with frills of pale pink chiffon kilted. The skirt was joined on to the waist, the bodice overhanging back and front. Around the waist forming the belt was a lace sash with long :nds, and | around the shoulders a lace collar was crossed on the bust. In this particular | case the lace was that known as Duchesse, but a less expensive variety could be made effective. The idea of wearing long cloaks in sum- mer is certainly brand-new, but we are | going to wear them just the same, espe- | cially at the teashore. Dame Fashion | says 0, and it is a case of she speaks and we obey. This season has seen so many remarkable things and such striking novelties that nothing can surprise us much now. Most of the new long wraps are very light in weight, and reaily when one comes to think of it there are many summer evenings along the seacosst when | a long and also a warm cioak is not to be despised. The most stylish and alto- gether fetching one that I have seen fs of black satin covered with jet spangles and arranged in the new sun pleating, un- lined, of course. The yoke is embroidered with jet sequins and finished with a full frill of embroidered chiffon about twelve inches deep. It has full sun-pleated sleeves trimmed with two rows of black chiffon | ruching, which also finishes the bottom | of the cloak. The hat is of biack chiffon, | kilted, and trimmed with jet sequins and black ostrich feather: | Among other novelties, the startling | change which is about to descend upon us in the manner of coiffures is not the least remarkable. We have borrowed our fashions this year from almost all sources, but chiefly from the early days of the present century. It is certainly from those good old days that the revival of bows of hair has come back to us. The loops generally stand upright, but may iie more flatly. We hear something about side curls, but this is only rumor as yet. It is, however, a fact that jewels looped over the hair will be worn again, just they used to be, only they do not hang over the torehead, but are sst further back on the head. The summer girl must on no account be neglected, and so we hav especially for her to wear in the country or at the seaside. They are of plaid straw, or rather of colored straw plaited, 20 as to | form a plaid. They have moderate brims and rather high crowns, and are generally trimmed with tartan ribbon. They are quite novel and particularly stylish. Anctber novelty was a Louis XL bat of gray straw with the brim turned up. It | was trimmed with a twist of black and white tulle with a large black and white | bird set direct in front. We all know how very convenient it is to have some dressy trifle or other with which to make a plain bodice a bit smart | on -occasions. Here is something which weall can have and which answers the | purpose to perfection. It appears 10 be | simply a piece of yellow riboon trimmed with lage, but when on it completely | dresses the bodice. It forms a high ruff at the back by means of the lace agd black embroidery, and falls down the front in straight ends trimmed in same way. Another clever idea for neckwear is an | ecru lace scarf which comes from the back | around the neck and falls in front. Over | the shoulders are two large armholes | the | D) @D‘ — which are fuliy trimmed with lace. Their arrangement is very ingenious and gives & drassy appearance to the plainest bodice. It is slightly wired on the shoulders and forms itself into a square in front. It is rather too early yet for us to de- termine wnether white shoes for walking will be as popular this summer as they were last. As white costumes, however, will be worn more than ever, the prob- abilities are that the white shoes will be miore or less in evidence. One 1ather re- markable novelty in this line has for 1ts most striking characteristic, a celluloid heel, which, it is claimed is particularly light and elastic. The shoe itself is made of white “lasting” smartly brogued, and is altogether desirable for hot weather, as it is very cool and comfortable—and becoming to those fortunate people who have very small, slender feet. 1f matinees are ever more desirable at one season than another that time must be approaching now, when nothing 7 RNY/ t edged with a band of goli embro:dery costs about $3, and a blouse lengih with bandson:e gold trimmings about $4. The scarfs have their ends embroid- ered with real gold threac and are long enough 1o be in a stylish and most b com- ing bow under the chin. Such scarfs simply decline to wear our, and are as good as new every time they are washed, such a relief after cur perishable affairs of mousseline de soie and cbiffon. Fascinatingly beautiful are the embroid- eries she has brought with her from Delhi. One shown a correspondent was of a rich ribbed-silk, wrought most exquisitely in silver. The gold workers of Delhi are among the severest tamine sufferers, as the authorities have decreed that no marriages are to be al- lowed between the poor for the next thir- teen monthe, so these people are absolutely without work as heretofore they have depended aimost solely for their support on bridal orders. | ders. The collar and waistband were of satin ribbon matching in line the lining, and at either side of the collar were pretty little ears like of lace that periectly har- monized with the grass lawn. | Dozens of these dresses are to be seen, and no one wi.l dispute the fact thata white canvas made over red tafietas, hav- ing a bodice of white lace that terminates in basques over the skirt, is simply a model of elegance. A greenish biue vel- vet forms the cuff:, the high soft crush collar and the waistband that terminates | in astylish bow at the left side. A white straw toque, adorned with a white aig- | rette, tulle and pomegranate fowers, cer- | tainly goes well with this dress. Equally | to be commended is | A Mauvee Linon Worn by a youtnful bride. It is fash- ioned over & soft-finished silk of the same shade. Theskirt is adorned with wreaths of foliage in batiste ecru applique; the Tnese workers do not | slixhtly pouched blouse bodice is com- An Early Victorian Style of Hairdressing Now Appearing in London and Destined to Cross the Big Pond. needs more seductive wooing than the | contine themselves entirely to gold work, breezes which retuse to blow. Here is something traly Greek, and very beauti- | ful it is, too. It is appropriately called the “Phryne” and is carried outin pink silk, covered with very fine white challis. The trimmings are of rich green guipure and pale-pink satin ribbon. The back falls long 2nd full from the neckband and emanates from the guipure Greek jacket. The sleeves are of white challis and pink silk, quite separate, finely pleated and cut in large squares. It is not possible to convey in words an adequate idea of the charm of the garment, and I can only say that [ wanted to own it inexpressibly. Black and white in combination alway basacharm of its own anda seems to be worn even more than usual this season. One jacket I particularly noticed as de- sirable because it was very stylish, and added to that the very pleasing quality of looking well with almost any dress. It was of black summer cloth bordered with white shaped embroidery in applique, the latter being outlined with very narrow black braid. There were tiny pockets in the front corners for two fingers, and three revers or roll collars at the nec also trimmed with the white embroidery. For general wear nothing could be more | satisfactory. India Musling Are daily becoming more and more fash- ionable, ail through the charitable exer- tions of the authoress, Mrs, Steele, who is trying to relieve the sufferings of some of | the poor ladies in India by offering at her home dress lengths and scarfs of the real India musiin tkat is now becoming so scarce. To be sure, Mrs. Steele is far away in London, but orders are reaching her from all quarters, for every article offered is choice of its kind and maryel- as their jeweled embroideries are like- wise famous, and now in great demand, for not only gorgeous robes are enhanced by their beauty, bt also muslins light as gossamer are w rought in fantastic figures. Another reason why such success has crowned Mrs. Steele’s noble exertions is because the designs and colors selected by her are rarely beautiful as she is an excel- lent judge of such things, baving beld the post of inspectress of schoois in the Pun- jab after making a special study for years of technical art work. At last the summer exodus has begun in earnest. Into great trunks have been packed the most charming of confections, | not only for the dainty lovely summer girl, but for her beautifal grandmother as well, for the day bhas passed when a suff black silk, relieved with a touch of lace, was the silvery- haired matron’s regulation costume. Now her toilettes are veritable works of art, and we begin to understand how men in France have raved over and writ- ten sonnets to women of most mature years, as in that country most carefully do | the graud dames study every line of their figures, every wrinkle, every defect as well as every charm possessed by them. A Grass Linen. At a luncheon Jast week a grandmother wore an exceptionally exquisite crass linen, all around the bottom of which were inserted true lovers’ kno's of iace entwined with roses. The same design on a much smaller scale artistically beauti- fied the bodice. The entire dress was built over one of the new shades of pur- plish pink 1aftsta silk. The sleeves were made a la mosquetaire, with the smallest possible amount of fuliness at the shoul- | pletely composed of this embroidery, th® | sleeves being of the plain linon, “slightly ruched and finished with a frill of lace | that fal's slightly over the hand. Waist | and neck band areof an olive green velvet. Inthe same trousseau is a delightful or- gandy, the white ground of which is almost complitely covered with an odd green pattern of an apple green line. On the skirt are five ruffles, on each of which is an inch wide insertion of cream white lace, and mauvre baby rib- bon edges them. The bodice has across the front three similar frills, which also form the top of the long sleeves. Apnle green silk, with two lace ruffles, appro- vriately are used to make the slip worn under this frock. | In New York the best dressmakers | cbarge from §20 to $25 for the mere mak- ing of such a frock. As a result I know of | several cases where not only Californians, | but Eastern visitors as well, bave ordered anumber of dresses here before starting for the Atlantic States, as all realize how well we keep up with the latest modes, and the best designers here are so much more reasonable in their prices than any of those in New York. So many peovle talk about relative | prices and wages without being properly ‘; posted that [ cannot forbear making this statement, as in all respects the toilettes made here to which I allude compare most favorably in all respects with the Eastern productions. | A Blue Gauze. Extremely dainty is a ittle French con- fection of sky-blue gauze over which are scattered small white flowers. The skirt is encircled frofn waist to foot with bands of Mechlin lace insertion. The bodice is slichtly pouched back and the front is trimmed in the same way as the skirt. With it is worn a cravat of India muslin edged with Mechlin lace and a wide sash of the same, the long ends of which fall on the skirt likewise lace encrusted. With this is worn a “Leghorn” hat trimmed with long white ostrch plumes and ruched gauze. The parasol must match the dress to complete the effect, so the blue zauze in this case is pleated all over the white silk and finished with little ruckes and a pleated flounce of mousscline, the handle lacquered blue. I neglected to say that the foundation of the dressis white taffeta. A leader of fashion was most attractive- Iy gowned st a recent afternoon recep- tion in an almond-green poplin; the skirt was absolntely plain; but tne jaunty jacket-like bodice was covered with a del cate golden {rellis work, which turned back, in front, to disclose a waistcoat of | fluffy chiffon run with golden threads, over a foundation of heavy wkite silk. | The small revers of the bodice were of white silk embroidered and edged with gold. Tha lining of the entire toilet was | of a solt-finished white silk, but around the bottom of the skirt were several ruffles | of almond-hued silk, and the white straw | hat was made beautiful with a trimming of white and green chiffon and white aigrette. A white silk parasol lined with green gave the finishing touch. A Great Novelty In lace évening dresses is to have them woven in one piece and already shaped. At the top they are close and narrow and gradually spread our. One such, of white lace of a very handsome quality, was lately much admired, as it was over a gor- geous white satin. The moderately low lace bodice over the satin was slightly full and had a deep softly folded waistband of pale mauve satin. The sleeves were short and over them feil a shower of pearls. Rows of these jewels exiended across the bodice and long strings fell on each side of the skirt. A Chic Costume. A useful and pretty tailor gown worn by a stylish woman is built of dove gray cloth. With it is worn a chic bolero com- posed of biack velvet edged with white cloth, handsomely braided by hand, with a gray silk cord. A large collar, square ofcut, | is of white cloth embroidered with gray cord. It bas the appearance of being made over a wide collar of black veivet. The cuffs and pockets carry out the same idea. The araped belt is of black velvet. A lace cravat has its ends carried under | the flaps of the collar. This toilette can only be wori successfully by an extremely tall and very slender woman. Bernhardt's and Langtry's Latest Hats. i Mme. Bernbardt has just received a| most becoming toque, the crown being composed of & compact mass of violets and Marechal Niel roses. An Alsatian bow of zlace taffetus that shades from purple to a delicate rose pink is placed in front in the center of the bow; placed a little to one side Is a handsome black aigrette, with a motif in steel, and a small cluster of small black ostrich tips that fall over the | bair. | Mrs. Langtry looks remark:bly well in | a black straw that has as a lining a Nile | green straw; It is shaped like our shade hats and at the leit side is a small bunch of shaded green poppies that blend per- fectly with the straw. An elaborate and unusually artistic ornament of the finest cu: steel appears to bold in place seven beautiful black ostrich plumes that are posed gracefully above ana beneath. M ARCELLA. PRECITA VALLEY, ““Progress’’ Its Watchword— ome of | the Improvements 1hat Are | Proposed. | The weekly meeting of the Precita Val- | ley Improvement Club was held at Gra- | ham’'s Hall, corner of Twenty-seventh | and Alabawma streets, last Friday evening. The meeting was unusually well attended | and the hall was comfortably filled. | President 8. A, Byrnes called the meeting | to order and J. E. O'Brien recorded the | minutes. | A petition numerously signed con- demning the many swamps lying near Serventine avenue and Bryant street was read, and it was ordered presented to tie Board of Supervisors for their considera- tion. Mr, Grabam made a very stirring speech, in which he said this was a public nuisance and had been in existence for too long a time, znd that it was about time that such matters were remedied. A petition was presen‘ed for the grading of Woll sireet, from Isabella to Peralia avenue, and 1he same was referred to a special committee. A spec:al committee was appointed to confer with the Board of Supervisors in reference to decreasing the width of side- walks on Harrison street and Treat avenue, souti of Precita avenue. nmy The committee appointed to wait on the finance committee in recard to the secur- ing of an appropriation for a school in the Precita Valley was instructed to inform its club that said petition would be heard at the next meeting, and it is to be hoped the Superyisors will take notice of the petition of the Precita Valley Improve- ment Club, as the school sought for is | badly needed, the nearest school being about a mile distant from the proposed | school site. | Bernal and Columbia Grammar schools in the primary grades are overcrowded | and chiidren are compelled to sit on the | teachers’ plaiform, while others are turned away. The propertv-owners are asking for a four-room school, and at present enough cuildren are in the imme- diate vicinity to fill it. Thomas A. Burns, chairman of the building and ground committee, reported to the club that if the finance committee granted the money asked the school would be put up imm edi- ately. The delay in extending Alabama street up and over the hill was talked over by several of the members ana many sub- | stantial reasons given why this snould | be done. Asitis the building of cozy and happy homes is delayed and there is no reason for this. Nature has been par- ticularly kind to this section. The stiff northwester does not reach there. No heavy fogs hover overhead to cause a gloomy spirit, In fact the climste is said to surpass that of any portion of this City, and the motto of the Precita Vailey Im- provement Club is ‘‘Progress.”’ = Y < BSpain has more sunshine than any other country.

The famous Randsburg and adjacent gold | fields of the Mojave Deserl have just been ex- plored by J. H. Means, ficld assistant of the | State Mining Bureau, who is back from a two | months’ stay amid the sagebrush, rattle- suakes, heat and golden hills of this desert ! recion. His report will be the first impartialand | competent one coming from this much- | talked-of district, the information nub- | lished up to date having consisted largely | of wila newspaper tales coming from | Stray prospectoss or boomers, oOr oOCca- | sional superficial talks with miners \\ho{ have made brief trips there. He went there to siudy the geology, mineralogy and | mining development of the region, and his technical information he reserves for his offi- cisl report. Yesterday he gave his observa- tions in a general and conservative way as | foliow | most of my work in the Rand dis- trict, which is ten miles square, in the Rade- | maker district, fifteen miles north, and in the range about Garlock end Koehn Springs io the | east. The Rand district, of which Randsburg is nearly the center, is in a thr fiy condition. The real estate boom is rather quiet now, but there is a steady development going on in the mines. It is not rapid or large but steady. You know there are 1400 claims in the dis- trict. It is plastered with them, and many are simply valueless locaticns, staked out by people who rushed in earl [he actual production of now sbout 50,000 a month. A lerge partof the Selby Smelting Works, is worked at the eight custom mills in that region now. Six are at Garlock, running 1wo to ten stamps each; one is at Cuadyback Lake, twelve miles enst of Rands- burg, ana one of the ten stamps is at Koehn Springs, twenty miles from Randsburg. One of these mills is run by a gasoline engine, and the rest by stesm power. All sorts of fuel is used—sagebrush, o], coal and wood. “Mcst of the production comes from mines worked on a small scale neer the surface by owners, who ship a few sacks of ore rezularly, and so keep their development work going. A great many mines worked in this way with- out much cap 1 have milled only five or tea A number of the larger mines are doing development work —sinking shafts and running tunnels—without making any effort at producing yet. 1f these operations were productive the output would be largely inerensed. It is impossible to give any compefent esti- mate of the value and richness of the district now. Ingeneral the mines are In the wind- lass and whim stage of development. Not more than ten or twelve shafts have reached a the district is and the e Gepih ot over 100 reet. The deepest is the Wedge mine, 315 feet, which is mining and milling. The King Soiomon is well developed. They ere sinking and drifting, but not milling. In the Rand group, over which litigation among Patrick Reddy and his partuers is in progress, they are developing & good many drifts, tunnels and open cuts. Many mines have been opened to a depth of about 50 feet, but on the larze majority only assessment work has been done. “I can’t sty enything s to the richness of | theores. It is mot my business to reporton tnat, and all I know is by common report, which is nearly vaiueless. These reports of rich ores that run hundreds to the ton mean nothing. A msn may pick out a little piece of ore as big s his hand that will mn $1000 to the ton, and there may be no more like it in tne whole vein. The only assay reports of value are those showing the average of the whole vein. Ihave been asked many times for my opinion as to the richness of the ledges, but I have never made a definite statement. The development has not reached a sufficient depth to afford indications of the permancnce of the values, and the assay reports are not | worth paying attention to. I will simply say this: That those who are going aown are | geiting rich ore and are not discouraged. It is the gemeral opinion there that the values | ot many mines will be fairly permanent with depth, and that it will be a permanent camp. One may huve opinions, but you see that any thing beyond what I have said must be faith and speculation at this time. “The geology of all tnis region is interest- ing; but I will discuss that in my report.

The veins run in every direction through the country. They vary a great dealinall their characteristics—width, strike. dip., ete.—and they show considerable ore with but siailow developments. In the Rademaker district, north of Randsburg, only a few months old, there is a great deal of activity in prospecting, but there are none put shallow workings yet, and few mines are producing any ore. “There is a good deal of placer mining by the dry-washing process about Garlock, Goler and Red Rock, and more or less in a stray way all over the desert. It was through the opera- tion of these dry-washing machines that the discovery of quartz ledges in the Randsburg region came about. There are about fifty dry- washers in operation near Garloek, twenty at Red Rock and some elsewhere, two men work- ing to each machine. The machines are quite successful in extracting gold from dry gravel, but the dry-washing business is in an eme bryonic state. “Operations on a large scale are necessary to work low-grade gravel at a profit, and 1if the process could be developed so as Lo work on a large scale, as hydraulic mining was, extens sive operaiions could be conducted on the desert. The gravel which is washed by this process is taken from beds 1n ravines und on the side hills. Most of the pay dirt is next 1o the bedrock, and is covered to depths of from five to thirty feet. The beds vary in depth from a few inches to three or four feet, and most of it is drifted out by sinking shafts and tunueling 1 have never heard that the aversge richness of this desert gravel has been esiimated by anybody by the cubic yard or ton. The miners there just work- away.and go by what it pays per day per man. It will run frol & few cents fo $20 a day to the man. Most miners are making small wages and that isall. They did better two years ago, when they began, and when nuggets were found occasionally. “There are occasional seles of quertz mines in the Raud district, but iitile outside capital has been put in yet, because there has not been enough developinent to attract much capital. Then mangof the mines pay from the surface, and the owners prefer to find what there is in their mines themselves by gradually paying their way by selling the ore in sacks. There is a great deal of prospecting and development all ever the Mojave Deser:. I heard a great deal about the Panamint dis- trictand the Slate range, and a great many have gone there from Randsburg. Surveyors are at work on routes for the Southern Pucific and Santa Fe companies. and the Southern Pacific_surveyors are continuing on the route to the Panamint region. They are develop- ing water 1n small quantities from wells all over the country. The pipe lines are only talx yet, and if they come it will be in the fu- ture, when development warrants them. The question of bringing electric power from the Kern River also depends on future develop- ments.”” There are about forty less rattlesnakes in that country tecause of Mr. Means’ visit, and the State Mining Bureau is enriched by a fine collcetion of ores, rock and other spocimens collected during the trip. he gold miners’ convention will meet in Denver next week, but not a great deal of 1n- terest in it is being shown by California min- ing men who bave generally but vague ideas about its character and whatit will amount to. However, eight or ten men of the many dele- gates appointed will probably go,among them being Louis Glass, Dan T. Cole, E. M. Preston of Nevada City, H. E. Pickett of Placerville and J. J.
