FEATURE EXHIBITION
Work of Celebrated English Ar
fist Charms Local Art
Lovers
By MARGARET M. DOYLE

Fifty or sixty of the most famous
engravings of j. NJ. w. Turner, cele-
brated English artist, are displayed this
week at the Vickery. Atkins & Torrey
galleries in Stter street. The exhibit
ton, which opened Tuesday, is of I'M
usual Interest, the pictures on view
being of the finest kind of line en-
craving.
Most of Turner's work was originally
painted la either water colors or sepia
washes and it is this fact that helps
to lend to the engravings their extreme
delicacy and brings into play the re-
markable contrasts of light and
shadow. His work consisted of q series
of landscapes throughout England and
Wales, along the southern coast and
through Liber and Rfchmondshire. He
also did number of sketches of the
rivers of England and of France. A
number of the engravings from all of
these famous sets are included in this
view. The gradations of light in all of
them are particularly noticeable, the
delicate glow of early dawn is de-
picted with skill, and the contrast of
the ruggedness of his coast scenes and
the evanescent mezzotints of many of
his inland landscapes is unusually
striking.
The exhibition is scheduled to last
for another week and will be followed
by that of the recent canvases of Fer
dinand BurgdOrff.
AS forerunner of his exhibition
Burgdorff has sent seven or eight of
his late Monterey and Carmel studies
to this city, which are chiefly notice
able for the vivid contrast they show.
Most of the work of this young artist
has been delicate, ethereal and exqui-
site in tones in the lighter. softer
shades of pink and blue and lavender
Many of them are just sun touched by

Channel Workings

w. c. Pendleton and Frank Laird are
operating on the channel formerly
worked by the late Supervisor James
Laird. The channel lies west of Yam
kee hill and east of Looms. One draw
back to the successful working of the
gravel is the lack of grade, but the
present owners have overcome this by
installing an hydraulic elevator.
The water is taken from the top of
the hill and piped to the elevator at
a pressure of $50 feet There are two
channels. an upper and lower, the lat
ter being cemented- The depth of this
channel is Is feet. The gravel Will be
worked by the Coke pan process. The
upper channel pays bout SIS and the
lower runs as high as $50 ton. The
mill is run by electricity furnished by
the Pacific gas and electric company
Frank Laird and T. H. Quinn. both
experienced miners. are meeting with
big success in working the old river
channel east or LOOMS which is gem
orally known as the Barton mine. The
mine was a big payer for years and
yielded' big net profit. 1t is drift
mine. The gold is coarse and heavy.
Laird and Quinn have worked some of
the gravel left from former workings
with good results, but are now taking
out gravel and have. according to re-
port, struck it rich. Placer Herald

GOIdfeId Consolidated Copper

In signed statement ]. ar. F'inIay,
general mana ger of the GOldheld Con-
attention has been called to various
inquiries from stock holders about re-
ports that the ore bodies OF the Gold
field Consolidated mines company were
pinching out on the lower levels and
that the gold values are being replaced
by copper as depth increases. The
only thing / know of to say about these
reports il that they are not true"
Il wish to make clear one point,
namely. that any conclusions as to the
changes in the character of the ore
bodies can only be based on the de-
NelOpmentS of many months. To worry
about such details as may develop in
such property as this, on any par
tlcular day, or in any particular month,
Is very foolish worry. As a matter of
fact, there is nothing whatever on
which TO base any opinion as to the
possibilities here with greater depth.
The mine may improve or deteriorate.

But one thing I am sure of. and
that IS never saw mine that looked
better in the bottom than this mine
In the raise above the 1000 level we
have body of ore that runs from 500
TO $50 per ton. We don't know how
big the ore body is. but it is bigger
than the raise. On the 900 level we
have no pay ore vet, but we are getting
some assays. Our sum total of open
ings there in vein matter is not over
80 feet. When you consider that this
vein is a mile long and 200 to 400 feet
wide on each level, you can see how

currence of copper in this vein and

there is just as much copper at the 100
