ON ACCOUNT OF A WOMAN,
Merchants Invest in Bullet
Proof Shutters.
CONSUL CHANG TAKES A HAND.
A Proclamation to the Effect That
Bail Will Not Be Furnished
for Criminals.

Information came to the police yester-
day morning that one of the most trucu-
lent high binder societies recently organized
had declared war against a similar body
and that a battle would be fought at 2
o'clock in the afternoon On jackson street,
between Dupont and Stockton.
Consul-General Chang Ting Chip also
heard of the threatened outbreak, and the
merchants whose places of business are
near the spot selected for the conflict pro-
cured iron shutters to be placed in front
OF their windows and doors when the bull
let's should commence to fly.
The society that declared war was the
Bing On Tong of S15 jackson street and
the enemies that they proposed to prepare
for the Coroner were the members of the
Wah Ting Sang Fung Of 1913 Dupont
street.
A woman was at the bottom of the
trouble. She was pretty slave recently
imported by an influential member OF the
Bing On Tong and sold for $1,000 to Lee
Yep of Wah Ting Sang Fung. The pur-
chaser paid $500 for the human chattel and
then declared that she was not worth
$1,000. and mat ne would pay no more for
her.
The original owner dunned Lee for the
balance until his patience wore away, but
obtained no coin for his labor. Finally he
gave the bill to his fellow highbinders for
collection and they called upon Lee Yep's
associates of the Wah Ting Sang Fung
The members of that sanguInary league
treated the messengers contumeliously,
declared that the woman was not worth
$500, and offered to wipe out the alleged
value with blood.
Sergeant Gillen and his posse prepared
for the conflict and the Consul-Goneral
caused the following proclamation to be
posted on the deadwalls of Ghinatown:
Notice from Consul.General Chang to the
Chinese people:
Lately there have been many roDberies and
more crime threatened. The law of all
lands forbid such crimes The criminal eIe-
ment cannot be allowed to go on uncneck ed
IL Will surely be suppressed ana the law.
abiding people will be protected.
Hereafter no criminal arrested for robbery
or shooting Will be baled out Ignorance Of
the laws will not be accepted as an excuse
All should remember he universal law for
bidding crime. My people must quickly re.
this land.
The seal of the Consul was afnxed to the
proclamation, and before noon its con-
tents were known throughout Chinatown.
What effect 1t had upon the tongs who were
preparing for WAR is not known. Tue bat
tie was not fought and no one was found
at the rooms of the hostile tongs when
they were visited by he sergeant and his
men. The police know the character of
the ruffians who are implicated and believe
that the battle has only been postponed TO
a more favorable time, and this belief is
shared by the law abiding Chinese The |
Consul-General. inspired by the feeling of |
alarm and insecurity that prevails, has
given order to the Mongolian police to To- !
cate all ex-convicts, so that they may be |
arrested by the regular police ana de-
ported.

State Mineralogist Makes
His Report,
In Which an Exact Status of the
California Mines Is
Given.

The twelfth annual report Of j. J. Craw.
ford, the State Mineralogist, will be in the
hands Of the public tomorrow. The doc.
ument Is very com prehensive in form and
accurately sets forth the status of the
mining indus ry in the State
Instead of grouping all the county min.
eral products under the general county
title the following plan has been adopted
The descriptions of mineral properties,
such as gold, silver. borax, coal, copper.
crome, lead, magnesite. petroleum. struct-
ural materials, ETC., are arranged in sep
arate chapters by subjects. Then the
names Of the counties in which such
economic mineral substance occurs and
the names of the mines in such counties
producing it, follow each in alphabetical
order.
By this means the reader will bs enabled
to refer to what he seeks with the least
possible trouble, and it may readily be
noted just in what part OF the State any
one mineral substance is being mined.
All mines enumerated in the report are
"live" claims. The value of the auartz
sulphurets, ETC., have been omitted. exec pt
when this has been verified by assay in the
bureau.
The report says: at is gratifying to
note very marked increased interest in
gold mining during the past two years.
The unexampled depression in silver
mining. due to decrease in value and poll
tical viclssitndes OF that metal, has turned
the attention of many miners to the gold
mining industry. The success al tending
the investment of capital in gold proper
ties has been such as to warrant others
following the example.
'The three properties now producing
the largest amount of gold per annum in
q m xRh oh h..
doned some years ago. when the cond-
tons were different, but, being thoroughly
equipped and exploited by the investment
of capital. were reOpened and have at
tanned the position noted.
''The quartz-mining industry of Califor-
MIA Is al present in better condition than
IL has ever been before. The speculative
features have been to very great extent
eliminated and careful business methods
adopted. resulting in more profitable work
aud greater confidence of investors. The
gold mines of California are to-day In
great demand. but this demand is more
for developed properties than for mere
prospects, which may or may not be-
come mines.
"The principal disadvantage under which
the mining community labOrs is lack OF
financial aid to develop the unoperated
claims.
while only part of the great number
OF mines In this State have been visited by
experts during the past year it is found
that those mines and quarries referred to
in the report give direct employment to
1907 men. and doubtless indirectly to as
many more. With a complete list of the
mines this number will be largely in
creased. The wages paid are from 50 so to
So per diem.
There has been a marked change in the
conditions affecting the hydraulic mining
OF California. Some of the mines have
again become productive. It is now pos
under certain specified restrictions"

lnapt and should be changed. The yellow
curtain has not sufficient connection with
the play to furnish its name.
All the parts are strong and afford
excellent opportunities for striking dra-
matte work. Miss Beddard has a much
Deter opportunity this week to show her
ability, and she responds to the demands
OF very exgeant role with great deal of
force and great deal of true dramatic
instinct. Mr.. Hoyte, as Lord Cecil. plays
light comedy role very effectively and
naturally. Mr.. Edmonds and Mr.. Brewer
had tendency to overaet their respective
parts, but ire clever enough to realize the
Improvement of their performances. Miss
Eckert played an American girl nicely
and easily, and the other parts were
well rendered. Whom the players are
better acquainted with the capabili-
ties of their respective roles. The play
should 60 very we'll.
A special matinee is announced for New
ears. The next play to be produced
mere Is new melodrama, "Montana."
whlch Is announced as strong melo-
drama OF Western life with good scenic
effects.

NEARING THE END
Of SCheeI's Third Series
of Symphonies.
The Hundredth Concert Will Be CeIe-
brated on Thursday-Joan
of Arc.

In consequence of some alterations which
Fritz Scheel wishes to make in the Audi
forum, he is hurrying the third series
oil symphony concerts to its close mere
quickly than at first anticipated. Last
evening the fourth concert of The third
series took place, and tomorrow the fifth
will be given.
The leading feature of the programme
last night was Moszkowski's beautiful
symphonic poem, "Joan of Arc" The
work has been heard before at the Audi
forum, but it is one that can well bear
repetition. The whole symphony teens
with melody for instance, and on a second
hearing the themes gain in beauty.
The descriptive spirit is SO dominant in
this music of Moszkowskis. and it was
so well interpreted by the conductor and
MS orchestra that chose among the audi.
once who are susceptible to tone painting
could almost have imagined "Jeapne's
Pastoral Life," "The Coronation at
Rheims" ETC., without the programme.
AT least, having read the programme. it
was easy to imagine that they could have
done so. but tone painting is misleading
without programme. 1t is all very well
to sit and picture everything when one
knows the story, but without that little
preliminary the most vivid imagin alton
sometimes goes astray when it tries TO
grasp the true inwardness of the plot that
the music sets forth.
Of the other numb ers on the programme
two were by Wagner. The "Lohengrin"
prelude was beautifully played, the pas
sages for strings being interpreted with
particular delicacy. The shading ali
through was excellent. Some portions of
The Mas ters ngers" were also success
fully rendered. Concertm aster John
Marquardt won warm encore for his
playing Of "Othello," violin fantasia by
Ernst. and the concert concluded with
Moszkowskrs fascinating number,
Italy" from the ''Suite of All Nations.J
1t is expected that Fritz SeheePs only
appe arance as violin soIoist, which takes
place on Thursday next, will cause a great
demand for seats. This occasion will be
the hundredth of the Auditorium Concerts

1.-THE YELLOW CURTAIN.
Its Premier at the Bush. Street
Theater Last Evening.


Theater Last Evening.
The Bush-street Theatsr was packed to
its full capacity last night to witness the
first production of "The Yellow Curtain"
play new to this theater and this city.
The play is an extremely strong one.
The plot briefly is this: Lady Vera miss
Beddard) and Captain Coming (Mr.
Brewer are lovers. Lady Vera i., how.
ever, compelled to marry Sir Harry Dash.
ley tMr. Edmonds). whersupon Coming
leaves England. Upon hi. return the old
love is renewed, and Vera determines to
leave her husband to fly with him. She
comes to his room, when they are inter-
rupted by Sir Harry. who comes to warn
Coming against the influence of woman,
who 10 unknown to him, but WHO, he feels,
Is driving Coming to desperation. Dur
ing the conversation Vera is concealed be-
hind curtain, and Sir Harry is about to
tear it aside TO enter the room when be is
stopped by Coming, with the plea that
ne unknown lady is behind the curtain.
Wnile she was there, however, she had
dropped bracelet. This comes to the
hands of Lord Cecil Galverstone (Mr.
Hoyte), who unwittingly gives it to Sir
Harry. The owner is revealed to him,
and. convinced his wife no longer loves
MIN. he starts to leave for Scotland. Cecil
discovers what he has done, and, with the
aid of Lady Augusta Tawke Kate Eckeri),
he repairs the wrong he has done, pre-
serving her honor In the way the Prince
of Wales has made fashion able. Coming
comes back. but Vera returns to her hus-
bands love. and the denouement finds
them happily united and Cecil joined to
the mistress of his heart, Lady Augusta.
This is u very brief resume of q we'll
cons ructed plot. The faults are faults of
slowness in movement and the lack of in
cldenl to relieve some very long speeches,
Many of these can be remedied, however
and with better fourth act the piece
should 60 very well. The title is most

Miss Philips, it seems, started to
