A GOOD PLAN.

The California Consolidated
Petroleum Company has issued
folder concisely setting forth
its objects, which is the prettiest
piece of printing yet seen in con-
nection with the oil industry, and
it is well worth reading and pass
ing around
The plans of this company are
more extensive than those of the
ordinary oil company, in that
they insure to the holders of its
stock, profits in all the oil fields
of the State, as it owns large
holdings in all the fields. 1t owns
the only hydraulic rotary drilling
rigs ever brought to California
and will lead all others in the de-
velopment of oil. 1t will keep
twenty drilling rigs in operation
in twenty fields between Oakland
and San Diego. On the first
strike of oil its directors are con-
fident its stock will jump above
par value, as it has other sources
of revenue to raise values. One
of these is royalties it owns on
5000 acres leased to capitalists
for development.
Still further, the California
Consolidated Petroleum Com
pany has in it's treasury 2, 500, 900
shares of the stock of fifty of the
leading oil companies of the
State.
This plan gives the stockhold-
ers an interest in the earnings of
all the different fields. From the
view point of the investor this
plan affords the surest, safest
opportunity for profit it is pos
sible to adopt.
1t is confidently expected that
by July 16, next, all stock offered
at so cents per share will be sub
scribed for, and the price raised
to $1.00 per share. AS set forth
in the advertisement, which APP.
pears in this issue, the Com
pany's stock is absolutely non
assessable, there being no per-
sonal liability to the stakeholder.
This insures q square deal and
prevents freezing OUT of the
small stakeholder.
You will make no mistake in
securing, while you can some of
the stock of the California Con-
solidated Petroleum Company.
This company is the most form
liable rival the Standard Oil
Company has ever encountered,
and having ample capital its sue
cess is assured. 1t does not re-
quire prophet to forsee that it's
fifty-cent stock will be worth
several times that amount.
Stock redeemable on demand
at any time within 80 days from
date of certificate. Ali money
paid in installments refunded on
demand at any time within 30
days from date of first payment.
If you do not want your stock,
send to Company and you will
promptly get every cent of your
money back.

shares held by that company in
the fifty companies in question.
His stock also entities him to his
pro rata of all the oil received as
royalties on 5000 acres. and to

This has worked great hard
ship to our settlers, aud particul-
arly our miners. Mr.. Wilson has
endeavored to get this rule modi-
fed and has contended that the
Act of Congress relative to the

such rule or construction. A de-

FIVE PER CENT BILL.-This

OIL AND GOLD MINES.

Major Desboroush, writing from Fresno,
Cal. says: II found Grape-Nuts food As
miles in the mountains in an old oil camp.
where the whole crowd, ten men. eat 1t
for breakfast every day, and every Sunday
have it in pudding for dinner
General E. c. Machen. an old Confed-
crate soldier. has just returned from an
extended trip through the Southwest and
along the Mexican border. investigating
mining properties. He says: No matter
where / travelled ] always found it pos
sibe to get Grape-Nuts and Postum Food
Coffee, of which / am very fond
The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is espe-
cialiy valued by campers and frontier peo-
pie. as it is already cooked and ready for
instant service, and being concentrated.
furnishes unusual strength and nourish-
ment in small quantity. 1t is believed
that a man can travel farther and exercise
more continuously on a few teaspoons of
sGrape-Nuts than on like quantity of any
other food known.
The reason for this Is that there are se-
lected elements In Grape-Suts that furnish
direct to the brain and nerve centres the
necessary particles to rebuild the delicate
gray matter contained in these parts.
therefore man continuously fed on
Grape-Nufs is absolutely certain of a good
condition of the nervous system. which is
really the controller of the entire body.

in Richmond.
A LOCAL LEADER INTERVIEWED.

The fight IN progress between the Ma
tional Council OF the j. o. U. A. NJ. and
the local lodges took no new turn yes
terday, in fact, nothing further will be
done until the local councils shall take
some concerted action in the matter.
The national body has adjourned Its con-
veution. and the local leaders have not
been officially notified of its action. The
members of the suspended orders have six
1y days in which they may be reinstated in
The Grand Lodge, by paying up the as
sess,nents for the last year, but from pres
ent indications il does not seem Likely that
they will avail themselves OF the opportu-
ntv as the National Council is understood
to have sustained the action of the Grand
Lodge in suspending the lodges IN Virginia,
New Jersey and other States
WANT THEIR RIGHTS.
Their grievances, which were laid before
the body by a special committee. were
not recdfied. and il seems likely that the
local orders will stay out Of the Grand
Lodge
A prominent Richmond leader was seen
yesterday and said that il was evident
that their petition for redress hao Srtpt
..he sleep of the death in committee ana
he feared there would be no adjustment OF
their differences with the Grand Lodge.
In the election OF officers for the ensuing
year Inc National Council ignored all the
Kicking States, which clearly demonstrates
that they are under the ban il the eyes
Of the National Order
While there seems TO be every indication
that a new National Council viii be or
,-anizeG by the lodges which have been
thrown down by the present council yet
the leaders here do not say SO in so many
words They say they are undecided as
TO the details of their course but VIII
keep up the struggle for What they beheNe
10 be their rights and that II may result
in an independent national organization.
ORDER STRONG HERE.
il seems very certain that they will
not submit tamely 10 the action OF the
Grand Lodge, and. by paying up both
assessments. reinstate themselves in the
National Conclave without some conces-
stors in their favor
The fight is attracting great deal OF
attention here, as the order has very
large membership in Richmond.
The officers elected for the ensuing year
hv the Philadelphia meeting are Charles
Reeves. Seattle, Wash, National Coun-
ciilor. J. Adam Sohl, Baltimore National
Treasurer; George a. Gowan, Nashville,
Tenn, National Conductor: c. Q. Hohr,

Rev. A. Thomas. National Chaplain.
IN THE COURTS.
The next meeting will be held in Buff
talo, in 1901. provided the Supreme Court
shall reverse the decision of a lower
court, that under the charter of the
National Council which was incorporated
in Philadelphia, its meetings must be held
in that city.
According to those In touch with the
case. this action on the part of the
Supreme Court does not seem likely. and
81 is probable that the National Council

Much interest Is being manifested in the
verdict of the jury in the GilEgan case.
and there has been a great deal Of s2ecusa-
tIon Imons Iaymeu as to the probable re-
suit Of new trial, many taking the
ground that il IS possible under the law
for the prisoner To receive a greater pun

at the first.
The lax divides the crime Of killing into
four classes. vIz.-murder N tsle tiFst Gs-
gree. murder in the second degree, vol

Gilligan was convicted OF murder in the
second degree. and was given the maxi
mum punishment for that grade of crime
under the law, and upon second trial could
not be convicted Of murder in the first
degree In other words, where a prisoner
is given the full extent of pU!D:shmenE
