MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
In Colorado They Are Coming Near tn
'cpWns,

In Colorado They Are Coming Near the
Tnwns.
Mountain sheep appear to be increas-
ing in Colorado, and, stranger still, the
rare and timid animals are leaving
their dizzy haunts among the high
mountain peaks and drawing nearer to
the habitations of men than ever be-
fore, says the Denver Republican. In
the comparatively low lands near the
town Of Jefferson there is now flock of
fifty or more mountain sheep. Jeffer-
son Is on the South Park railroad,
about eighty-one miles southwest OF
Denver, in Park county. 1t is an old
established community, and has near 1t
the we'll known summer resort, Jeffer-
son lake. The vicinity. disturbed by
the rumble of trains az well as the
sounds of human life and industry, is
not at all a quiet one. 1t has none of
the characteristics which usually
mark the natural home of the almost
extinct mountain sheep. And yet for
several days past a band Of at least
fifty OF the soft-eyed, large-horned ma
tive sheep of the Rocky mountains has
been calmly grazing around the town
OF Jefferson and close to the railroads.
1t is said that the sheep do not display
any sign of fear OF the Jefferson peo-
pie. Many of them come in open day
light within easy pistol shot of the
residences. They do not run away un-
less somebody curiously tries to fright

Life of the Man Who Died Recently in

United States Minister Willis died at
Honolulu of pneumonia, which he con-

ninth congress inclusive. when he was

President Cleveland, in September.

out with sealed instructions to restore
Lilliuokalani to her throne on condi-
ton that she grant general amnesty to
those persons instrumental in setting
up the provisional government, and

eventually recognized the Dole govern

accredited to it.
The anxieties of his position had
marked effect upon his health and ap-
pearance. When he left for Honolulu

years later his hair was white, and he

ly difficult duties in Hawaii with
marked tact and discretion, and was
popular there. in spite of the adverse
circumstances which surrounded him
from the start. President Cleveland
was deeply affected by the news of the
death of Minister Willis. He said he
had known Mr. Willis for many years.

AN ASPHALTUM REFINERY
To Be Constructed at Ventura on s

The California Asphaltum Co. of Pitts

Plant-A Large Industry.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENTURA, Cal, Feb. 1.-Finar ar
rangements were made and contracts
signed here today whereby the Cali
fornia Asphaltum company Qimited) of
Pittsburg, Pa, will construct a refinery
plant in Ventura which, if carried out
according to present plans will be the
largest of it's kind in Southern California.
President J. A. Dubbs and ]. ] Booth
a stockholder, have been here for week
past investigating matters. The COM
pany is very large and has strong finan-
cial backing.
A plant costing $50, 900 will be erected,
having daily capacity of fifty tons of
refined asphaltum, and employing from
forty to fifty men. The asphaltum,
which is refined from the crude petro-
leum, will be shipped east and there
placed upon the market, steps having
already been taken to set stakes for the
structure, which will be located near the
Southern Pacific depot. The petroleum
will be obtained from the Union Oil
company and will be run down by gravi-
tation through the pipes already laid
from Santa Paula.
Asphaltum is already a very valuable
commercial product, but the demand for
1t is constantly increasing as new uses
for this product are continually being
discovered. 1t enters into various forms
into the composition of a great many
things which few years ago were
manufactured without it. There is great
rejoicing among the people Of this city
over the location Of this new institu-
ton.
