him transferred 10 the '49 Mining Camp
Company and reissued the privilege before

the company direct.
All this was not accomplished without
prolonged wordy war. In the course of
which FOote maintained his right to settle
his disputes in the pioneer mining style in
line with the spirit which the concession is
designed TO illustrate. During the confer
ence 1t was developed that the army de-
tending the theater space concluded on
tuesday night that re-enfOrcements were
necessary. Accordingly Chief of Police
Crowley was appealed to, and in response
to request sent Ous sergeant and six
patroimen to the '49 mining camp. They
remained all night to assist Foote's soldiers
in repelling the expected invasion.

very much of the greenrOom. However,

Mud Will be feature of the EXPOSITION
grounds only a few days longer. Visitors
to Sunset City have hitherto experienced
some discomfort in going about from one
building 10 another. Especially after a
heavy shower, the soft chocoIa colored
clay has proved unpleasantly sticky.
These underfeet conditions have been
increased IN unpleasantness by the neces-
sity OF utilizing the rOadwayS for heavy
carriage. The open tracks do not lead in to the
Manufactures building where the largest
number OF exhibits are to be placed, The
result is great deal Of heavy traffic over
the roadways, and this will continue until
after the installation of the DISPLAYS.
Meanwhile it will be impossible to finally
adjust matters within the grand quad
raUgle.
Preliminary work on the sidewalks and
rOadwaYs was commenced yesterday, and
several weeks ago a line of posts. with
connecting chains. was placed around the
main court from fountain TO fountain, In
side this Gordon the work of building
stairways and of laying out the landscape
features of the quadrangle is progressing
satisfactorily. A concrete walk twelve feet
vide will extend entirely around the court.
| Between the walk and the official build
ings will be well graveed roadway,
forming half-mlle course for professions
| on days Of special observance. Within
the next ten days this work will all be
completed.
The catalogue department has received
several cases OF uniforms in which the
agents selling the books will be clad. The
! uniforms are bright scarlet with shining
brass buttons. With the neat accompany
ing caps the costume is striking. The cat
alogues will appear in a few days, and the
| advance sheets indicate that the book will
be a credit both to the concessions aires and
! 10 the subscribers.
In tbs northeast corner OF the gallery In
the Mechanical Arts building 100 square
| feet OF space has been assigned to the ey-
hibit of Wells Fargo & Co. 1t comprises
many relics of early days on the Pacific
Coast, es pecially in relation TO the carriers
