HARRISON GULCH.

Lively Gold Camp in the Southwestern
Part of Shasta.
During the last few weeks considera BILE
important work has been done on mining
property at Harrison Gulch, and a good
deal of gold has been taken out. The dis
trict is sixty miles from Red Bluff, in the
extreme southwestern part OF Shasta
County.
A few days ago Price & Son made test
of 200 pounds OF ore brought down from
the Lucky Baldwin property there, and
turned over $14 to the owners after all the
expenses were paid. The ore was found TO
run $225 clear in gold a ton.
There is a group of mines there, of which
the Baldwin is one. The others are Grover
Cleveland, Great American, Gold Hill and
Bee Queen. They are all owned by ]. J.
Fowler and Messrs. Rhodes and Benton.
They are also interested in the Gray Eagle
and Eagle Bird. Several of the properties
have produced good ore. and preparations
are being made to do large amount of
work on them. A mill has been put up
and has been running steadily for some
time.
An average of about eight tons a day
has been handled, the ore being mined
from the Gold Hill. 1t is said that since
January over $4,000 has been taken out.
There is an abundance of water there
for all the purposes of mining and milling,
and there is also plenty of timber. On

The effect of the Booth schism in the
Salvation Army has at last manifested it.
self IN this City, and branch of the
Volunteers of America" will be organized
tonight
When the split occurred in New York,
and the followers of Ballington Booth de-
cided to cast their lot in with him and his
noble wife, the first step was taken looking
toward the formation of a Sc parate organi-
zation.
1t was to be known as the "Volunteers
OF America" The idea was enthusiastic
cally taken up by the loyal followers of
the generals son, and soon every town and
city in the United States, wherever the
Salvation Army had a foothold, found its
seceders from the parent organization, and
branches OF the "Volunteers" were estab-
Hshed.
San Jose was the first city in California
to tall in line. The Volunteers organized
with an enrolment of sixty members. A
dispatch announcing the fact was sent to
the New York headquarters and BaIling-
ton Booth sent back answer to hold the
fort and extend the good work. James
Smith was appointed captain.
Captain Robert Gardner, formerly chief
OF the outriders, was appointed in COM
mand of the Pacific Coast division of the
new organization and the larger cities of
the State soon fell in line. San Francisco
was Sardy, but now that the final Dreak has
occurred in the ranks of the regular army
the organizers will no doubt carry on the
work with the same earnestuess and en-
thusiasm that has marked their past eff

The Volunteers" of San Francisco will
start with about twenty-five members.
The leaders are Captains Hudson and Dill
muth. The headquarters for the present
will be at 526 Kearny street, where the
meeting to organize will be held tonight.
The Volunteers" already have strong
organization in each of the following
cities-San Diego, Santa Cruz Los Gatos
and Sacramento. San Jose taking the lead

LITTLE TIME FOR ART,
o. Kunath Says Potboilers and
Real Estate Prevail in
Los Angeles.
The Artist Gives His Impressions of
Southern California-He Was
Disappointed.

Oscar Kunath, the artist, who left San
Francisco year ago for Southern Califor-
mia, has returned from Los Angeles. He
is not favorably impressed with the south,
that is from an artists point of view, and
says he is glad to be back again.
Mr.. Kunath is one OF the best-known
painters in San Francisco. For many
years he was teacher in the art institute
OF this City, having the portrait class as
his special department of the courses
taught. A few years since the portrait
class began to dwindle away by slow de-
grees until finally but two pupils re-
mained. Then Mr.. Kunath resigned. The
class was abolished, it is said, by kind of
consolidation process and since then the
art institute has been without a special
branch iu portraiture. Pupils who care to
study the painting of the human face may
do so in the life class. Anyhow the
academy lost one of the best portrait
painters of San Francisco.
In Los Angeles Mr.. Kunath opened a
studio and hoped TO find a remunerative
field for his talents. Fortunately for nim-
self he secured position as teacher in the
local art school, but it was not enough to
wed him to the southern city.
sit is the worst city of its size for an
artist that 1 ever visited" he said. cart
seemed to have no place whatever there
1t was all potboilers, potboilers. 1 had
many letters of introduction to good
people there, and l was in several of the
best houses of Los Angeles. But did not
see in any OF them one good picture.
Think of itP'
What was on those WALSH
prints and potboilers."
Everything is money; everything is
real estate down there, but art ~ and the
artist threw up his hands with gesture
that was eloquent.
1--WE gave an exhibition, and I must saw
there was a really good collection of
pictures. The artists of Southern Califor-
MIA contributed many fine things. On the
first night the place was crowded, and it
was fashionable gathering. After that
not one came to look at the pictures,
The exhibition remained open for two
weeks, suppose because that was the
original intention, but nobody thought it
worth while to drop in and see the paint
ings. What was worst of all not single
picture was sold.
at seemed to me that all the people
who cared for art or who bought pictures
lived In Pasadena. In that little CITY thew
have good deal of the right feeling, but
there are more artists there than can make
living, almost.
"No, am very glad to be back again
here, even though San Francisco could do
better in the way of appreciation of art
and local artists"
Mr.. Kunath has taken up his brush and
palette in new studio at IA Grant avenue
and is engaged on a portrait of beautiful
girl and Southern California landscape.

FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.
An Enjoyable Entertainment Given
Last Night by the Mission High
School Club.


The Mission High School Club gave a
most enjoyable entertain nment last evening
at the Horace Mann Grammar School. The
programme consisted of music, recitations
and brief addresses on the Missions need
of high school by John P. Grady John
T. Dare and School Director Henderson.
President Grady of the Mission High
School Club opened the exercises by a
brief speech in which he reviewed the
progress already made by the club toward
securing a high school and spoke with
much emphasis of the need of the Mission
district for such an institution.
The first mum ber on the programme was
music rendered by the Horace Mann Or
chestra, led by Professor Dewey. Following
was recitation by Miss Ethel Hendy, and
afterward vocal solo, ANSWER" sung by
Miss Jennie Williams.
Then Mr.. Grady introduced John T.
Dare, who spoke briefly on the subject OF a
Mission High School, saying: "Unless
you stand together and demand it, you
will never get IT,"
Miss Alice Doyle then recited "Biddy's
Troubles" Miss Tudie Kaiser played a
piano solo, Valz Durand and Miss Edith
Helms sang ''The Song for Me-"
School Director Henderson said: "The
significance of this meeting tonight is the
banding together of the people of the Sum-
shine Valley. to get what should have
been given them long before. Now that
we have been so long demanding a recog-
milton of our Ri hts. feel that we should
now demand them with greater au-
thority."
A cornet solo was given by Master
Charles Denney. Cecil Marks then read
the following resolutions. which were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The Honorable Board of Educa
ton appreciatipg the necessity for o high
school in the Mission district and with de-
sire to accede to a just demand of our people,
have es timated in the cost of properly conduct
ing the School Department for the ensuing
year a sum of money sufficient to purchase a
lot and erect high school; and whereas, the
above estimate must be submitted to the hon.
orable Board OF Supervisors SO that it may be
provided; therefore, be IL
RESOLVED, That we, the Mission High School
Club, in mass-meetng assembled, respectfully
urge upon the honorable Board of Supervisors
to give us the help we stand in need OF, and
ask them TO make provision in the tax levy tor
the ensuing year for the amount necessary, so
that our children may have placed within
their reach the advantages of high school; !;
and be it further
Resolued, That a copy of these resolutions
properly attested be sent to the various clubs
OF the Eleventh Ward for their Endorsement,
and then that they be presented by commit
tee from this club to the honorable Board OF
Supervisors.
Music by the orchestra and the song

programme.

CORBETT MEETS FRIENDS,
The Champion Is Home Again
in Fine Health and Fine
Clothes.
In a Few Days He Will Go to New
York to Await the Summons
TO Meet Fitz.

Corbett is in town-he of the fame, the
long reach, the clever duck, the sock, the
buskin, the pen and the Fitzsimmons
match.
They didn't expect him for two or three
days, but he was in hurry to see his
home, family and friends and he cut short
his stay in Salt Lake City, arriving here
yesterday morning, accompanied by his
pretty and dashing wife and his sister,
who have come West with him. He was
met at Beuicia by his brother Frank and
Billy Delaney, and at Oakland by his
father and mother. He at once went to
the quarters in the st. Nicholas Hotel
which had been engaged.
Corbett's homecoming is not the Joy
and triumph 1t was on one occasion, but
a host of warm friends and admirers were
delighted yesterday to meet the world s
champion in his old home. He has come
entirely to see the members of his family
here before going to England and his stay
may be one or two weeks.
Corbett is as handsome as ever, is the
last fashion-plate in his nobby attire and
he is physically the picture of healthy
manhood. Dissipation is not making
tracks in the open countenance of Pompa-
dour Jim at the age of %.
There is one cloud (which slightly shad-
ows Corbett's return to the Golden Gate
from which he went forth to conquer He
is sore at the way in which some of the
sporting and other editors on newspapers
here treat MIN. He SAYS he can stand
their scolding less than that of others.
In a few days he will go to New York,
from where he expects Brady to summon
him to England soon. To a reporter yes
terday he had this to say about that
match with FitzsimmoIs:
Ny pugilistic affairs are entirely in Brady's
hands. He is confident that if Fitzsimmons
will consent there viii be little trouble in Sc
curing match in England, probably before
the National Sporting Club, which has already
made overtures in that direction.
As have said hundred times, don't think
FitZsimmons wants to fight me. Recently,
however, he announced his intention of going
TO England where he will be ready to fight any
man in the world. 1t is very easy for a man to
and hurl challenges to his rivals, but we don't
ropose to perm it Fitzsimmons to do so.
Brady has gone to England purposely to an
ticipate any such move on the part of the Aus
tralian. II the latter journeys over there and
talks fight Brady will De close on his heels and
he will either have to fight or skulk out OF the
country.
Ny only reason for desiring match In Eng
land is that one can only be arranged here
with considerable difficulty. We both might
accept an offer from Stewart, but the danger OF
arrest attending such q match is enough to
discourage any thought of one. Again Fitz-
simmons lately has apparently shown more
willingness to fight in England, and such be-
ing the case concluded to accommodate him
if possible.

who are stocking undeveloped claims for
large amounts and taking them over to
London and elsewhere in England to sell.
l expect lot of people will be taken in by
them. I know three or four men who
passed through San Francisco recently
who were on the way to London to foist
Just such property on the public. I should
not wonder if some money was lost.
"Still there is any amount of gold there
and for men who understand the business
l think it is good place. Oakland is the
capital of the province. 1t has so, 600 peo-
ple. 1t is, however, out of the mining dis
trict.
Thames the town in the heart of the
district, has 5000 people; Coromandsle, on
the other side, 1900. People are strung all
over the country and are mining in many
different places.

ter and summer, with the exception, that it
rains good deal in summer. This insures
water in abundance, however. There is
also an abundance of fine timber, so that

EQUAL SUFFRAGE RIGHTS.
How the Legislature Came to
Submit It to the People of
California.
Friends of the Measure Must Now
Rally to It's Support and Work
Till Victory Is Assured.

Deep solicitude marked the faces of
women and men in the Senate chamber
of California on the eventful date in
March, 1895, when the bill for woman suf-
frage came up for final reading. Having
passed in the Assembly it was expected
that the Senate would hardly give it the
cold shoulder. Being daily visitor in
the Senate during tendency of this in
terest. 1 noted the hopes and moves at
every turn. The moment for final action
came. Men of thought and chivalry
looked upon the faces of earnest women
wishes and want to do that which wisdom
and justice dictate, but it is gigantic ex-
pertinent and we hesitate"
No selfishness controlled that hour; not
a motive or wish was th-n apparent in
plot or plan for defeating the women, and
while lawmakers desired the victory Of the
latter they wanted light upon the expe-
diency of the measure.
The reading finished, moment's.pause,
knit broWs, while the "ayes" and "noes"
were about to tell the fact of victory or de-
feat, and when it seemed certain that the
loyalty of Senators toward the problem
would equal that of the Assembly, the
tide was turned by sentence. a Repub-
lican Senator rose, and, with the adroit-
ness of tact, stated that he was not work
ing for nor against the right of women to
vote. but said, ''lt is only question OF
time till they will have the right, for it is
one of the things sure to come, but as
weighty opinion is against them on q
constitutional question, we will, think,
refer it back TO vote of the people" This
last sentence, coupled with the foregoing
remarks that it will become law, side
tracked the suffrage train for more
general expression OF the people through
the ballot.
In this light it is to be regarded, in its
general character, not merely that men
are to vote and decide it proor con, but
that women may and are expected to turn
the scale in their favor by SO infusing their
cause into the hearts of the voters that
they will gain the end sought.
There is a sense in which women OF Cali
fornia will vote this fall, and that is by
influence and work. 1t is their privilege
TO awaken public sentiment and to vote
through the hands of men, and this they
will do, and We predict their victory.
When the Legislature referred il to
popular vote it thereby said, I'VE are
willing to unite in its adoption II the
people desire it." 1t should be remem-
bered that the LEGISLATURE did not show its
hand as against the measure, hence after
the House passed it and finally concurred
with the Senate in submitting 1t TO the
ballot the women and all voters have a
right TO look upon our lawmakers as
faYoring it, and many OF them VIII work
and vote for it.
Since the three State conventions have
declared in its favor and the Democrats
are expected TO, it would seem like OPP
position TO the wishes of the people TO
openly oppose it. The tide OF public
opinion is flowing womanward. The
ablest papers are advocating it. and all
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-31

are expecting large majority of the
balloting on this question to be spelled
"Yes." When we voters come to that
proposition we will not see it as wise.
chivalrous nor kind to write "No. because
we know the female portion OF the COM
munity is as intelligent, discerning and
able to Judge and vote wisely on local,
National and political issues as men.
The people expect the women to work,
lecture and hold mass-meetings, and to do
all in their power to secure victory. The
women read the papers; they see the
avalanche of public sentiment in their
favor, but they must remember 1T is their
earnestness and prayers that create the
avalanche, hence there must be no slack
foe watching it all. Many lost victories
have been made thus by apathy and by
concluding that the active ones will save
the cause. That conclusion is a danger
line. Women IN all departments will
need to second the efforts of their leaders
by talking up the cause, by reasoning and
by securing the right now offered by law
makers and by lawyers, ministers, physi-
clans, editors, the intelligent and brave.
To fail now means closed door for long
period.
The men generally are reticent and
passive, concluding it is woman's cause
and that the women must look after their
own interests. They do not object to
woman suffrage nearly as much as they
assume to when talking with undecided
women. We hear of no meetings by either
men or women against the proposition.
and this because the opposition is indiffer-
ent or negative. The element of aggres-
slve earnestness wins.
The thoughtful must approve the atti-
tude of THE CALL, the Examiner and other
leading journals in their fairness and will
ingness to give the woman's cause all pos
sible show in gaining the end sought. We
acquiesce and the women will win.
