Where Little Matches Are CurIos.

When r. n. Bigler who with his broth
er, James Bigler. placed the big caisson
for the Port Orchard dry dock in posi-
ton. reached Buffalo. y. Y, recently on
his return East he happened to pull out
OF his pocket bunch of small matches
so common on the Pacific Coast. One OF
Mr.. Bigler's friends. who is an inveterate
smoker. caught sight OF the matches and
became curious. They were new to him.
and he was at once taken with them on
account OF their many advantages, includ-
ing comps ctness and ease of ignition. He
relieved Mr.. Bigler of all the stock on
hand, and then distributed the matches
among acouaintances. The result was that
the supply was soon gone. The friends
then together hunted Buffalo high and
low. but could not find store where the
little Pacific Coast matches could be OBJ
tanned. In fact. they had never been
heard of. The Buffalo men are bound 10
have some of the new matches, even IL
they have 10 send West for them.

which has troubled many mining men. Il
is as follows

law, Halter building. Seattle. Wash. SIR;
BY your letter of July is. 1885 addressed
70 the honorable secretary and by him
referred 10 this office, you ask il IL IL
required that 500 worth of improvements
be made or labor performed upon each
location Of group embraced in an appli
cation for patent In reply you are ad-
vised that either this must be done, or
IL must be shown that 500 has been ex-
pended in labor or improvements for the
first development of the several locations
embraced In the group. Very respectfully,
IS ". LAMOREUx,
Commissioner"
In giving a copy of this letter TO the
Post-InteIligencer Mr.. Rowell makes the
following explanation OF how he came TO
write IL:
"A few months since your paper pub
Nshed what purported to be an extract
from new ruling by the secretery Of the
interior 10 the effect that improvements
and work to the amount OF 500 must be
done on each of the mining claims in a
group worked or owned by joint owners.
As this purported ruling was contrary 10
the statutes and decisions of the United
States. which permit the work 10 be done
on one claim OF group. provided a suffi-
cient amount is done on that one TO cover
the whole group. / wrote the secretary
asking if any such ruling has been made.
His reply shows that there has been no
change IN the law or rulings of the de-
partmeat. and that the source from
which your information was derived was
net reliable So long as the work done
is for the joint development of group
IL can he expended on a single claim in
tho group
