within 200, 900 Of being as high a figure
as was made at our own worlds fair on
Chicago day, Oct. 9. 1898. The daily

FOLDED TRANSFERS.
They Increase n Conductors Work
and Are Trying 10 Ills Temper.

Some people have no sympathy for
street car conductors" said one of their
number after he had had peculiarly
lively time In making change and Civ.
Ing and collecting transfers. says the
New York Times.
Now" continued the conductor,
there Is one little matter that would
save us lots of trouble II the people
would only bear It In mind and that Is
the way they hand In their transfers.
Some men and few women know
enough to hand us the little strips of
paper Just as they receive thcm-that
is, spread out in such n way that we
can glance Mt them, see that they are
all right and then place them with the
package already collected. The ma.
jority of people don't do this. and ms a
rule the women are the worst Of the
lot.
when a woman gets transfer, she
folds 1t up into as small space as
possible and then slows II away In her
purse. When the time comes TO collect
this from her. she fishes the wad of pa.
per out OF the purse. hands II to the
conductor and sits back in her seat
content with what she has done.
THE conductor has to unfold this
piece of paper TO see If II Is really the
proper transfer. This takes time, and
when there are dozen women on the
car all doing the same thing the poor
conductor has more than he can do to
keep his temper Men ms n rule don't
fold their transfers. but content them
selves with showing the slips Into their
pockets and then producing crumpled
piece of paper when II Is called for,
tossing it to the conductor, who has to
smooth 1t into shape
''The same people would never think
of handing In railroad or theater tick
1t In the same way"

GRAND PACIFIC OIL COMPANY.

One of the heaviest and most promising
oil corporations having headquarters in
this city is the Grand Pacific, and it Is
meeting with remarkable success in dis
posing OF its shares, 1900 having been
sold in one day this week. The fact il,
that the extraordinary opportunity offered
by this company for gilt-edged investment
has attracted class OF buyers who have
not hitherto yielded to the oil fever, which
is now becoming epidemic in California.
While it is true that the Grand Pacific con-
trolls smaller body of land than some
other companies, the excellent character
Of its holdings, which are located in five OF
the most productive districts in the State,
gives it the preference among careful buy
ers. This company holds 1920 acres, dis
tributed as follows: 100 acres in Sunset
district, 1850 acres in McKittrick district 50
acres in Contra Costa county, 1850 acres in
the Coalinga district, and $40 acres in the
kettleman district.
The Grand Pacific has legally made its
shares absolutely and forever non-access-
able, thus removing the great bug bear OF
stock buyers. Another advantage is found
in its large capitalization. The ordinary
company with small capitalization, may
fail, but the Grand Pacific, with 600 900,
shares in its treasury, as working capital
will be able to sink great number OF wells
and thus the possibility of failure is elm.
mated. But limited quantity of its stock
will be sold at fifty cents per share. Very
soon the price will be advanced to 81 per
share.
The Grand Pacific has begun its initial
work Of development on its Contra Costa
land, and to this end has now gang OF
men employed in grading for the erection
of the necessary buildings, derrick, etc.
The machinery is on the ground and is
being put in position as fast as workmen
can place it. Water is as necessary as ma
chinery to the work of developing an oil
property. This company has an abun-
dance of water on its Contra Costa land,
and over 1000 feet of piping has already
been done, leading to the well site. 1t is
expected that, If nothing Unforeseen hap.
pens, the active work of drilling will be in
progress within the next fifteen days.
As rapid y as machinery and tools can
be secured, wells will be bored in the other
districtstmentioned As there are numer-
GUS oil springs on the Contra Costa prop
erty OF the company, the indications are
excellent for rich strike in the Grand
Pacific Well No. l.

The most famous lighthouse ON the

for the Columbines boat TO make u

had to be lowered In a cage or basket
and, suspended in midalr over the sea,
report on the condition of himself and
his assistants, as they were short of
provisions, most of the supply having
been destroyed during a storm.
From the side of the rock heavy sea

pieces averaging SO pounds and hurled
them upon the roof of the keepers
