MUCH RED TAPE.
The body of President Roosevelt's letter
acknowledging notification of the English
princes birth will read as follows:
81 have received your letter announcing
the birth of son to your imperial house.
1 cordially participate in the pleasure which
the happy. event has afforded to your
Majesty's imperial family. May God have
you in His wise keeping" etc.
Ceremonial letters announcing their sue
cession are sent out by most of the Presi-
dents of republics, but this custom does not
obtain in this country.
Almost as much red tape is required i'm
the fixing of the great seal of the United
States to these letters as in actually franz
ing and preparing them. The great seal is
kept locked in a cabinet in the office of
Chief r. B. Mosher, of he Bureau of Ap-
Mr.. Moshers functions to insure against
the falling of any impressions from the
seal into the hands of private Individual
The law is explicit in stating that the i'm
preston shall not be affixed to any instru-
ment without the special warrant of the
President. Accompanying each ceremonial
letter delivered for sealing is a printed
form Of warrant signed by the President
and stating the destination of the letter.
The printing of the warrant is In script
and in important cases the penman..of the
department fills it out so skillfully that the
insertion and original can hardly be dis
tinguished one from the other.
The envelope of the letter is glued fast
in the usual way, the impression of the seal
being made only upon large white wafer
| two and one-half inches in diameter. with
| scalloped edge. This wafer is first cut from
| a special brand of heavy paper by a die
which bites 1t from one of the sheets SUM-
piled. The sealed wafer is then glued to the
| flap of the letter. There is but one case
known where an impression of the great
| seal was ever given to a private individual.
| He obtained it for some historical purpose
| by special act of Congress.

They swayed and rustled above us,

$4,000, 900 Concern to be Formed at
Once in California.
Will Connect sunset and Midway Dis
tricts With Pipe Line to Cost $780,

5000 Barrels Capacity Each.

Bakersfield, Jan. ga gigantic corpo-
ration to be known as the California
Consolidated Oil Fields Co., is to be
formed at once by H. A. Blodget and
Solomon Jewett Of this city, who owns
the largest interests in the Sunset field,
and number OF foreign capitalists asso-
ciated with them, for the purpose of
handling the product OF the Sunset and
Midway districts. The corporation will
be organized under the laws Of Maine,
with a capital of 81 100000. 1t takes
in practically all the producing proper
ties in these two districts.
The company will erect at once FIVE
tanks of $4,000 barrels capacity each,
and add to this when necessary. The
capacity OF the present refinery at Sun
set will be quadrupled at once. A pipe
line 10 miles in length, exclusive of lat
erals, will be constructed to connect the
Sunset and Midway districts with the
terminus OF the Sunset Railway, where
the tanks will be located. The line will
b: CONSTRUCTED OF eight and l0inch pipe,
and the laterals, by which it is expected
to reach every part of the field will be of
four and six inch pipe. The pipe line
alone calls for an immediate expenditure
of $150,000.
Besides this the company will at ONCE
install a complete telephone system
throughout the two districts and will
also enlarge the water works system.
The plans of the company, when carried
out, will place the Sunset and Midway
districts under one control, and will give
them a great advantage over Kern River

The Coin Collection.

A change has been made in the Museum
this week and the collection OF coins
which was displayed in the table cases
has been much increased and is now per
manentlv housed in the balcony of the
extension, where it occupies four wal
cases.
The estimated number Of coins is 1900
of which about 500 were given to the
Museum by the late Arthur Mason
Knapp. Mr.. Knapp, a native OF st.
Iohnsbury, was for many years curator
of Bates Hall in the Boston Public Ii
brary. As relaxation from his arduous
duties, he. made a collection of coins,
leaving them in his will TO the Fairbanks

and the United States. Several shelves
of hard times and of war tokens will be
especially noticed. These tokens are OF
copper, about the size of a cent, and
were ISSUED by private parties, the former
about 1928, the latter during the war OF
the rebellion. "Merchants often dis
PLAYED their cards upon them with APP

Trespass Suits.

Some trespass suits have been brought
in the Justice Court of Argenta precinct
this week.
James Faris of Sacramento, through
his agent, j. H. Crum. has brought suit
against Altube Bros. for trespassing.
Altube's sheep have been grazing on
land belonging to plaiatif in the vicinity
OF Trout Creek. Constable Austin went
out Tuesday to Trout Creek and pla ed
a keeper in charge of the. sheep until the
case is settled.
Yesterday afternoon Albert Kitten
horn of Bullion entered suit against
Pierrie Prycaaud, for the same otfense.
Prycaaud's sheep have been running
close to Kattenhorn's ranch and in one
instance a large number of the sheep
entered his alfalfa field. Hence he has
brought suit for damages. Deputy
Sheriff Human accompanied by A. r.
Holcomb and Mart Mccormack left for
Bullion this morning. The two latter
gentlemen will be put in as keepers
while the case is being settled.

Suffered a Stroke OF Paralysis.

T. e. Lee suffered a stroke OF paralysis
last Sunday. He was at his mine in old
Battle Mountain and was found in his
precarious condition by Don Macdonald,
who happened to pass by his place OF
abode that afternoon and on entering
the cabin found him lying beside his bed
unable to help himself and barely able
to speak. Don came to town as soon as
possible and Informed Mr.. Lees son
Clarence, who had left the mine about
an hour before, and he and Charles Dor
sey went up to the mine that evening
and brought him down Monday morning
placing him under the care OF DR..
Pope. The stroke affected Mr.. Lee on
Il Q left side and for a time it was impos-
sible for him to swallow but at this writ
ing his condition is somewhat improved.

New Enterprise.

A new enterprise has been established
in Cherry Creek which may lead to i'm
portant results. 1t is the breeding and
raising of cats for their fur, and making
fur coats, rugs. robes and other articles
OF utility in that line. Already a good
stock Of cats have been secured. -Ex.
If the promoters Of the above enter
prise come to Battle Mountain they can
find a good stock of cats, all sizes and all
colors. We believe a carload of cats
could be gathered around town and
shipped without being found wanting.
1t would not be a bad idea il one of
these "cat factories was started here.
