California Miners’ Association de-} clared that many millions of dollars’| worth of gold are idly buried in an- clent river channels in this State, under, such conditions that they cannot be, profitably worked either by dredging, ' by drifting or by aeny other process than hydraulic mining; that restrain- | ing the hydraulic mining in this State has enforced idleness on property to the value of more than $100,000,000; that the unavoidable effects of natural erosion and sedimentation have been ignored by courts and by farmers, who have charged all the injury to hy- draulic mining; that a rational appli- cation of the laws governing the depo- | sition of sediment from torrential | streams will permit hydraulic miningi and agriculture to be carried on, not/| only without prejudice to each other, | but with advantage to both; also that| the question of erosion and sedimenta- | tion is primarily a geological one. The Miners’ Association requested the President of the United States to have the following matters investigated through the United States Geologmal Survey: First—The most favorable sites for reser- voirs for water, whereby~ destructive floods ¥ be averted and the waters stored and zed for the benefit of agriculture, mining industries. d—The selection of suitable tracts of ands and of the most suitable means the detritus from torrential strean deposited on such waste lands, o n them and convert them gradually to rccl'a i suitable for forestry and other purposes, and at the same time to e from such streams their burden of detritus so that they may cease to be a men- ace to the navigable waters of the State President Benjamin has carried on an extensive correspondence relative to this topic, the leading one before the recent convention of the California Miners' Association.

PRI e - The residents of the Western Addition, | from Devisadero street to the ocean and from Geary street to the bay, were shrouded in absolute darkness last night for a’little over one hour. As soon as the gloomy darkness fell like a pall over the district every telephone in the sec- tion affected was set in motion to ascer- tainn from the office of the electric light company what the matter was. As soon as this news was conveyed to headquarters all the available men con- nected with the electrical branch of the city’s lighting plant were called into ac- tion. To the credit of the workmen con- nected with the gas and electrical light company. the cause of darkness was as- certained -to be the burning out of the principal feeder on California street, near Fillmore. The thorough knowledge of the men connected with the electrical light company soon had the damaged feeder repaired and light restored to the 9000 lamps which were in a black condi- tion a few minutes previously. The first glimmer of light disappeared exactly at 6:15 p. m., and inside of one hour they were made to glow as before. The re- pairing of the defective feeder, in addi- tion to locating the same in the short space of time allotted to the staff, is con- | sidered to be of the highest merit of| 1 pany: - ) E 5 Dies of a Fractured Skull.

MARGARET A LAR ACTRESS, TO THE CALIFORNIA, - Clever Actress to Appear at California. —_— The California Theater announces the engagement of Margaret Anglin and her complete New York company for an extended season here. The deal was negotiated by Manager Ackerman | and provides for what promises to be ! one of the most remarkable repertoire seasons ever played in this city. Her manager, Mr. Perley, has equipped Miss Anglin with a cast of unusual excellence and a repertoire of wide range, including eight plays that are new to San Francisco theater-goers and all but two of them new to the American stage. Miss Anglin will also give Wednesday matinees, at which she will present an entire change of bill at each performance. The season will open on Monday evening, March 20, with a new emo- tionai drama, entitled “Zira,” by J. Hartley Manners and Henry Miller. The piece has been staged in New York under the personal direction of Mr. Mil- ler. Mr. Perley is authority for the statement that it affords Miss Anglin greater opportunities than even “Mrs, Dane’s Defense.” The other plays inelude “Mariana,” a strong emotional drama from the anish of Jose Echegaray, played with great success in London last sea- san hy Mrs. Patrick Campbell; “The riage of Kitty,” a bubbling French comedy. adapted by Cosmo Gordon Lennox. which ran for two seasons in three hundred nights in London | and seven months last season in New'! ! York; “The Eternal Feminine,” a; quaintly original comedy, in which; Miss Anglin has been starring this season; a new play by the prominent Irish playwright, Desmond O'Hara; a | new emotional drama by an American authoress and a new comedy by an | English authoress. It is rumored that Miss Anglin will produce, during her engagement here, a special dramatiza- tion of Miss Miriam Micheison’s strong novel, “In the Bishop’s Carriage.” The special bills for the Wednesday matinees will include the following plays: A new and very modern ver- sion of “Frou Frou,” freely, adapted from the original French; a magnifi- cent production of Shakespeare's “Cymbeline,” “Magda,” “Adrienne Le- couvreur,” “Denise” and ‘“‘Camille.” — e Loose, stained and discolored teeth re- stored to natural condition.

This the Council agreed to do, but declared that it could not undertake to collect the ad- ditional funds necessary to build the So a few weeks ago Shakes- and formed a provisional committee to consider ways and means of rousing interest in the project. This commit- tee, of which Israel Gollancz, univer- sity lecturer in English at Cambridge, is honorary secretary, has held several | meetings, as the result of which it has | been decided to attempt much more than the mere erection of a statue in Accordingly the provisional committee is about to give way to a general, one which it is hoped to make | up of leading men and women of the day in all parts of the. empire, the United States and of other countries. This general committee will be con- stituted at a public meeting at the Mansion House, London, on the last day of this month. Regarding the form of the proposed memorial, Pro- fessor Gollancz says: We aim at the establishment of a great Shakespeare house, to be devoted primarily to the furth:erance of the study and interpreta- tion of the poet’s works, and also to serve as a recognized center for humane learning gen- erally. Therefore, if the response is adequate it is hoped that there may be erected in Lon- don a Shakespears house or Institute, with a Shakespeare library, a lecture theater and & central hall to receive a fitting statue of Shakespeare, statues of other famous men be- ing added from time to time, MUCH MONEY NEEDED. Of course to carry out this ambitious plan large funds will be necessary and the organizers of the project hope that the appeal may come home to every- one, not only to the rich, but also to those of limited means. Say the com- mittee: “The memorial should repre- sent the world’s homage to the poet, the world’s tribute to his genius.” To begin with, Richard Badger has made a subscription of $15,000 to the fund, and one of $2500 for the general working expenses of a public appeal. further dona- tiong it is planned to organize a “Shakespeare Commemoration,” to be observed in all parts of the world dur- ing Shakespeare week, which com- mences with the poet’s birthday, April 3. One of those most interested in this movement is Lord Avebury, the former Sir John Lubbock, who has consented to act as treasurer of the memorial fund. “John Strange Winter,” who most people know to be Mrs. Arthur Stan- nard, has just told how she came to choose her pen-name. This disclosure has been made in the course of a dis- cussion on the “feminine’ note in fic- tion,” in which Mrs. Stannard has taken part. the choice by many women writers of masculine names was proof of the sex's “memetic quality.” But “John Strange\ Winter” denies this. “My very burdensome nom-de-guerre,” she says, I wrote tales for years under a femi- nine pseudonym, but when I aspired to volume issue the astute publishers ab- solutely declined to publish my first book unless I chose a masculine name— ‘the more real sounding the better.” It ‘was not pleasant to me, but I was practical enough to give way on the point—and have suffered ever since.” RUSKIN’S HOUSE DOOMED.
