Grace Van Studdiford's Fine Vocalism
Is Variously Appreciated at the Orpheum
SKETCHES BY A CALL. AKTIST OF PLATERS Df THE SHOW AT THE ORPHEDM
THIS WEEK-
By James Crawford
That vaudeville cannot eafely be
"advanced" much closer to refined ar
tistry by Klaw & Erlanger or any
other Influence was demonstrated wh'le
Grace Van Studdiford held the Orpheum
stage yesterday afternoon. One^f the
f.nest pianissimo passages in her sing-
Ing of "Annie Laurie" was derided
\u25a0with a raucous "Haw! Havf'" from the
gallery, and the laugh of rudeness
provoked many approving grins.
Now if there is any song that should
appeal to the mushy sentlmentalism
of an Orpheum gallery that song is
"Annie Laurie," for Its words are a
confession of lovesickness, and Its mel
ody is both soulful ar.d simple. But the
Van Studdiford Invested too much fine
art in its interpretation to suit the
author of that derisive guffaw, and
those who smilingly rewarded him. If
she had cast her vocal schooling to the
winds and either grpwled or screamed
the lines the upper tier would have
been her's to command — just as it sub
sequently was the theirs truly of Mr.
and Mrs. Britton, Bhouters of rag
time. However, in the assemblage
there were enough persons qualified
to appreciate good singing to rebuko
the scoffer, which they did by heartily
applauding the woman as she left fa-j
stage.
Prior to the incident I have tried to
describe Miss Van Studdiford showed
good control of colorature in her sing
ing of "Delight," and her trills and
runs and technical pyrotechnics se
cured for the number a respectful
hearing. Nor was there unseemly re
ception of her final selection, "What
Might Have ' probably because
the gallery "cut-up" was either
ashamed of what he had done or was
awed to admiration by the dramatic
delivery of the Bong. But after what
had happened, the lady could not rea
sonably be chlded fcr declining to re
spond to a clamorous call for more.
Her voice is in better form and sh-j
manages It better than when It was
given ventilation in "The Red Feather.'

ROBDED BY MASKED MEX
OAKLAND. Aug. 4.— Two masked men
held up John H. Toedt at Adeline
straet, - near \u25a0 Twenty-first, tonight and
robbed him of $12. One robbeV held a
revolver to Toedfs head while the
other rifled hi^pockets. Toedt lives at
Twenty-second and West streets, _
The fact that she sings music of her
own choosing instead of interpreting
operatic stuff that is comparatively
lacking In inspiratlon.jnay have some
thing to do with that.
James O. Barrows and John Lancas
ter and two aids present a sketch for
which Edmund Day found his material
in some of the New England hayseed
dramas that were In vogue a dozen
years ago, and of which there remains
but one popular survivor/" 'Way Down
East." Mr. Day's borrowed conglom
eration Is entitled "Thanksgiving
Day," and during its presentation we
are given reminders of "The Old Home
stead" and "Shore Acres" and several
others of that Ilk. We miss some of
the familiar characters, but make al
lowance for the numerical restrictions
placed upon the author of a "playette."
Besides, we are compensated for the
absence of the parson and the school
marm and the city* waif by the farm
kitchen interior, and the snowstorm
raging outdoors, and the family dinner
and ever so many other ingredient?,
without which even an apology for a
fullfledged "begosh" drama would not
be complete.
.But the very homeliness of the
sketch assures its success where more
original offerings and less familiar
characters have been known to falL
Also new on the bill are the Brit
tons, hereinbefore alluded to, and six
pretty young women and a spidery
young man who perform difficult feats
awheel Gaston and Green are in their
third week, and submit a sketch In
which they introduce some pleasing
songs. Of the other holdovers the fa
vorites are Frank Seymour and Emma
Hill, and the lady's comedy nether
limbs continue to be one of the hits
of the bill.

only member of the gentler sex I have

OAKLAND'S POLICE CHIEF
WANTS FORCE INCREASED
Believes Detective Bureau
Should Be Organized
at Once
OAKLAND. Aug. 4. — As one result of
Chief of Police Wilson's eastern tour
that official will shortly recommend a
reorganization of the police depart
ment by the creation of a detective bu
reau and the Introduction of the Ber
tillon system of Identification.
This change has been under consid
eration for some time by the board of
police and fire commissioners.
The rapid growth of the city has de
manded extension and broadening of
police department work. With the
small force at command the department
despite increased patrolmen, has not
kept pace with the . demand upon it.
This has been -particularly noticeable
In the detective force, which, owing to
lack of separate organization, has not
been adequate to the heavy routine
work. . ;
Chief of Police Wilson and Mayor
Mott purpose to place before the com
mission and the city council a plan
by which the detective bureau' shall
be handled independently; of .the regu
lar patrol force, and directed by, a spe
cially appointed captain of. detectives,
subject to the general supervision and
co-operation of the head of the police
department. .

the fire caused the congregation ;to
forego the outing, last year. Prepara
tions are being made for . the occasion
on a scale that promise to make-up
for the omission.
Rev. Thomas McSweeney, pastor of the
church,: has selected an able committee

being rapidly matured. \u25a0 Dancing,,base
ball and tennis will be features of the

Shasta County Mining Projects
Involve Great Expenditures
Copper Developments Cause Owners
to Make Large; Mprovements
'The mining enterprises, of Shasta
county now * Include the , expenditure of
$2,500,000 h? the Balaklala Consolidated
copper company in the j making, of Im
provements; the construction of rolling
stock. Including 'locomotives for the
( use of the Mammoth :? copper mining
company; the doubling; of the capacity
of the smelter of the Bully Hill . smelt
ing and'jminlrig'company; at J a cost of
more-than^: sloo,ooo, and the supplying
of *- motive power to the Sacramento
Valley and Eastern -railroad ; the con
struction of the Sacramento Valley, and
Eastern railroad from- Pit;; up , the Pit
river Delamar, a distance of ~ 18
miles; r the construction ;of - the smelter
at^ Heroult to electrically : treat*; Iron
ore, ; and Incidentally, the construction
of; a dam across Battle r 'creekiby the
Northern California power company to
supply 12,000 horsepower for use In the
mines. About 30 miles, of railroad
trackage Is under construction for min
ing .'uses! In the county." - ..
Incidental to the mining operations
has been the. construction , and main
tenance of t the new town of ; Coram by
the Balaklala Consolidated copper com
pany. One year ago the first carload
of J lumber for ) building - purposes was
hauled "to Coram. :-: - The 2. ground was
covered v then with scrub ; oak'; trees.
With; the decision to erect a smelter on
the spot there was begun \ the building
of the town which now has a popula
tion of 1,500. The buildings and reduc
tion plant of the Balaklala company on
the site represent a cost of about
$2,000,000. •\u25a0•\u0084-'•; ;. '
These several moves are sufficient to
call attention to the Increasing great
ness, of Shasta county. From the elec
trical iron smelter at Heroult a ton of
pig iron has been produced. The ton
of pig iron attracts much: attention? at'
Redding, where it is exhibited, because
it is the first Iron ever produced on the
Pacific coast without fuel. The ; Red
ding Free Press says that the electrical
smelter is not in r operatlon at present
and that no further work will be done
until the connections are made with
the new system of the Northern Cali
fornia power company, which means a
delay of; some weeks.
At the La Grange hydraulic mine in
Trinity county, the greatest mine of Its
sort, the giants arerunnlng 16 hours
a day. The lakes at the - head of
Stuart's fork will be tapped to supply
water to enable the mines to work
more hours a day.
The Mountain copper company has
declared a dividend of $110,000, making
a total of $3,980,000 In dividends dis

one of . the r most resourceful mineral belts ; yet
located on the Pacific coast. In the mountain
ous district. washed by the headwaters of the
Carson I river many extensive mining enterprises
are being contemplated and undertaken.
HAPPENING .IN SOUTHWEST
The Lower California dredging com
pany will . begin' to search for gold with
dredgers 'Mlit'i Lower y California next
month. The : property of the company
is 90' miles southof > San -Diego In the
Juarez mining district at the head
waters of : the Tla Juana river. The
company has 250 acres under patent
from", the Mexican government. . A
dredger for the' company * Is. In con
struction in \u25a0 this city. It will have a
capacity of [40,000 cubic yards a' month.
' A strike of good, ore is reported to
have | been made a.t Mo jave : by . the
Karma-AJax consolidated mining com
pany. .
Los Angeles men have, 'placed the
Mahew mine near Yuma' under a bond
of $350,000. Emil Holden and associ
ates of Los Angeles have taken a bond
for $500,000.^ on T the Greenstone and
Black Diamond; , properties, 100 miles
north of Phoenix. .
Another verification of the theory
current In Arizona that a silver mine is
apt ;to develop .into a copper mine at
depth Is supplied seemingly In the in
stance of the old \ Silver King, which
has been the greatest producer of silver
In Arizona. A large deposit of copper
has been found In 4 the mine by J. H.
McCabe ,of : Los Angeles. Two miles
from th*""Sllver . King is the • Silver
Queen, ' which has -been producing cop
per, of which -30 carloads' were moved
reecntly at a "profit.
The Imperial mining company of Sil
ver Bell, Ariz.,' has 1,000 employes' at
work steadily.
, A deal Is reported to be under, way
for the purchase of the Mammoth min
ing and, milling company plant, north
of Phoenix, for $500,000.' The company
has offered the mines and equipment at
tha price mentioned.
• A reduction plant will be constructed
at Tucson by the Arizona smelting
company. It will have a capacity pf

officials viewed the work that had been
performed to curb the Colorado - river
and prevent the overflowing of thou
sands of , acres of valuable land. The
task was . undertaken several months
ago by.E. H. Harrlman and the cost
approximates $1,500,000. Garfleld said:
"The Lagnna dam I*. the key to control of .the
Colorado • river. • This I dam extends , from rock
bluffs on both sides so that when completed the
water, will be held vertically and horizontally.
This arrangement will permit us to take it out
of : either- side atn definite elevation, and also
to Install sluiceways * for removing the heavier

tribute water over, valley lands on both sides.
In our opinion, the Imperial country. never will
