At the Kanst Galleries

The special exhibition of the work of
Southern California artists held during
Prosperity Week at the Kanst galleries
embraced pictures by Granville Red
mond, Wanda Sauer, Richard Kruger
Elizabeth Borghem, Mrs. Harris, Nor
man st. Clair, ]. w. Nicoll, G. M.
Leonard Woodruff and others.
Chief among these attractions are
the paintings by Granville Redmond
Perhaps no one of our painters is more
even in his work than this artist, so
that we instantly recognize a canvas
from his brush, from the smallest gem
to his most imposing picture. The per-
sonality in his work is very intense
his technique being freely and strongly
his own, and the expression in all his
rendering of nature purely Redmonds s.
There were various subjects and diff
ferent times of day portrayed each
with that ready understanding and feel
ing that are his alike for blue sky or
gray. Many of these pictures have
found enthusiastic purchasers, and will
add to the beauty and refinement of
Los Angeles homes.

club, New York, are women, and the
Beal prize for the most meritorious
water color shown has been awarded
TO one of them, Miss Adelaide Deming.
The picture winning the prize is called
Moon Shadows" and is full of the
charm and mystery of moonlight.
The figure paintings by Thomas
Auschulz have attracted wide atten-
ton, and among those receiving IA
vorable criticism are Ethel Hare, r.
Irving Couse, A. T. Van Laer and
Charles P. Grippe, examples of whose
work were at one time to be seen in
the Blanchard gallery, while under
management of the American Fine
Arts association.
John La Fargo exhibited one small
painting, called Alteration" full of
color. The exhibition is spoken of as
unusually excellent. Out of 1000 pic
lures submitted, only few were
chosen, and two rooms were sufficient
ly ample to display them to good adj
vantage.
A portrait painter who is winning
much fame in the east for his splendid
work is Francisco Paolo Finocchiaro,
who counts many notables among his
patrons. He is particularly successful
with children's portraits, and recently
has painted one of Archie Roosevelt.

THE CASCADE FOUNTAIN.

m HE Cascade Fountain, spirit of
the Pacific" will stand at the
- head of the Cascade court at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition at
Seattle next summer and will be
heroic piece in size. The finished statue
will be thirty feet high. The idea is
to show the chief races, the ones that
originally lived on the Pacific coast
by figures of men and women. At the
lower part there are shown four male
figures, a Japanese, a Chinese, an
Alaskan Esquimo Indian and a Pacific
Islander These figures are STOPPED
over and support with their hands and
shoulders the massive fountain which
forms the central portion of the statue.
Each figure looks out towards one of
the same races clothed in their native
costumes. They stand around a great
circular shaft which supports a globe
and a winged figure which crowns the
design. This figure represents the
Spirit of the Pacific" and is posed
lightly on the Pacific ocean part of
the globe with outspread wings, as if
about to fly. Herr F. H. Frolich, a
sculptor of some note, modelled the
statue after a design by E. F. Champ
ney.

Mrs. Harris might be termed the
popular painter in water color since
greater number of her pictures have
been sold through this gallery than any
others. She paints for the public, and
they like her. There is quality in her
pictures that pleases, and her subjects
are full of life and interest.
Wanda Sauer is a painter who has
exhibited here only recently, but who
doubtless will win admirers, for her
work shows talent, and being a genre
painter should be welcomed gladly, as
so few artists here have given them
selves to studying life and conditions
in certain quarters of the city thai
would afford fine types for genre work.
j. H. Houghton has a showing of
miniatures at this gallery. Since he
came to Los Angeles he has executed
work for Mr.. and Mrs. Greenleaf, Mrs.
Mary Banning and mother and others.
He has just completed a miniature of
Florence Oakley.
November % is the date for a show
ing of water colors by Edna Gamble,
and December IA tapestries by Ora
Hardin Scott
1t is gratifying and encouraging to
women artists to learn nearly one-half

IN HE ARTIST who looks at nature
with individual eyes and not as
Il dictated by the laws or traditions
of any school or master. produces
something of higher interest than he
who is guided by set rules rather than
his own soul. The independent student
of nature who observes keenly and
makes faithful and intelligent picture
from that observation gives US some
thing worth while. something we may
be pleased and proud to possess, and
which proves an uplift to art and to US.
Such painter is Benjamin Chambers
Brown, a man of largeness and broad
vision, with no exaggerated estimate of
himself, more intent upon the true prin-
ciples of art than the popularity of the
pictures he paints. So it is we find
in them harmonious arrangement of
masses and lines, excellent gradations
of color, together with the spirit OF
each individual scene. In these pic
lures we see no artificialities so often
resorted to in an effort to hide deficien-
cies in knowledge; they are honest IN
terpretations of nature, studied under
various conditions and surroundings as
unfolded to a searcher after truth and
beauty.
The recent paintings by this artist
are now being exhibited in the Steckel
galleries and an opportunity afforded to
know both the painter and the pic
lures. From among them The Herald
magazine reproduces Evening on the
Marshes" composition of merit and
melody.

THE KOYUKUK STRIKE

sleS of Alaska. Pay gravel rivalling in values the wonderful Klondike and Nome placers has been found, and it is the general opinion among miners of the new Eldorado that the pay streak has continuity, which alone is needed to place the Koyulzuk in the kont rank among the gold fields of the north.
 The Koyukuk is one of the oldest gold districts of Alaska. Miners have grown gray in prospecting fer the yellow metal in that region, but ncth- of extraordinary richness has been uncovered until November last, when an old channel, hidden beneath many feet O. debris from the erosion of nearby mou.ltains, waS found by persistent prospactors. There is nc surH2oc indication to suggest that underneath what is now 9 hillside. in ages past ran mountain stream which formed natural place Of de- Posi6 for the golden particles which freed themselves from their native clement. The reconstructing forces of nature have obscured all outward physical signs of the ancient water coarse, which probably contains mines Of wealth untold.
 c. B. Bolds, now in Valdez, passed through the now dfggingn, banned pay gravel himself, saw others do likewise, and says the strike is legiti- mate. He referred tno PROSPECVOR to the Fairbanks News containing detailed statement Cf the5 discovery from the pen of IN. +. Howard, com- missioner of the KuyJliulz district, aud says the article ig substa.ltially correct.
 AS this neW discovery is of the greatest importance to Valdez, this being the gateway to that section, the main facts arc herewith repro duced:
 'On the lower Cnd of placer claim NO. 3 on Nolan creek 8 strike was made hy !oh1 Olson, Louis Olson and John AnderSo2. They struck bed rock @t 2 dopth Of 125 feet. The first buc&c5 rom bedrock, holding be- bweon 8 ana pans, yielded &229. The fist b'l:W as they started to drift on bedrock, yielded in two pans, $22G.G5, and tho second thaw netted in two pans $183.30. Up to Noyom- Der 25 width Of twenty-five feet of Paystreak has been uncovered with similar results. The gold is much finer than the general average of the Koyukuk gold found heretofore, al- though as high ag $40 pieces have been picked up. =.
 ''On Smiths gulch E. E. Calhoun took oat $3OO pan, mostly in mug gets, aud is extracting large dump, from a paystreak| twenty-five to thirty-fve feet wide. The ground ia spotted, but averages up well.''
 Under date of November 30 Howard again writes:
 "No. below on Nolan creek has yielded in pannings $19o0. Thes third shaw put in by the Olsone and An eierson gave $104.8o in two pans; the fourth thaw on bedrock yielded $514.25 In one pan, and $712.3 in one bucket and two pans. MT. EGllingson, reliable man, was down in the drift and helped do the banning. He says ehat covering bedrock is two-inch layer of sand from which he could pick q 5000 pan. On top of this lay or is two-i0ot strata of gravel which

In the Zambesi Gorge.

One of the remarkable features Of the
falls here Is the mighty gorge into which
the floods pour. This gorge Is over forty
miles long, and the water within 1t falls
so rapidly that an enormous power can be
developed outside the falls themselves.
Within. fifteen miles there is a fall Of 700
feet: and a 1,COO-foot fall could be made
within about twenty miles. Indeed, 1t is
said that a canal, which would cost COM
paratively little to construct, could be SO
made that It would develop 100000 horse
power. This is almost four times as much
as the total horsepower now used in the
Transvaal.
AS to the utilization OF the power to be
developed by Victoria falls, it will com
prise the greater part Of south-central
Africa. Victoria falls is just about 600
miles from Beira on the Indian ocean. 1t
is a little fore than GOO miles from johann
nesburg ard a like distance from the great
copper mountains of the Kongo Free State.
Within that radius would come more than
1000 miles of the Cape to Cairo railroad, all
OF the 1000 miles of the railroads of Rho
desla and a large portion Of the mines of
the Transvaal. 1t would comprise hun
dreds OF small gold mines in Rhodesla and
the great deposits of iron which lie between
the Zambesi and the koEgo Free State.
If the experiments for smelling by cleo
tricity which are now under way in this
country and Europe are successful the ore
from these mines may be turned into pig
iron by the power from the falls. They
will also be especially valuable to the great
copper syndicate which has been recently
organized TO develop the vast deposits just
over the boundary Of the Kongo Free State.
AS It is now, the Transvaal is said to
be paying something like Sl5,OOo,OOO annually
for power, and a large revenue should come
to the company from the sold mines alone.
The initial plant, which is to produce 10000
horsepower, will be all used by the Rand.
and other plants will speedily follow. The
success Of the whole undertaking will de-
pend on whether the power can be success
fully and profitably carried to a distance
