OIL FIELDS NOT INJURED.
Earthquake Has Not Affected the Supply
or Damaged Its Quality.

OAKLAND, Cal, April 25.-The California
oil fields have not suffered by the EARTH
quake. This is the testimony Of officials
OF the various petroleum companies whose
fortunes are concerned In this State. The
report is also reassuring to citizens gener-
ally. The industry means much to Cali
fornia. In other States earthquakes have
either shut of the iow Of oil or have brought
in salt water, the deadly enemy Of petroleum
wells. Neither Of these has occurred In
this State. William Stewart Of the Union
Oil Company said to-day that the Santa
Barbara fields have not been affected In
the least. All the wells In that broad ex-

Lowered Prices for Lighting Considered
to he Reasonable.

The lighting contracts will be signed in
a day or two. Mayor Mcclellan and Com
missioner Ellison of the Department of
Water Supply, Gas and Electricity have
agreed that the bids submitted by the
companies are reasonable and they will
be accepted. The figures have been pub
Hshed. As compared with the prices
charged up to this year there will be a
saving in Manhattan and The Bronx alone
Of $7s0, 900 a year.

municipal electric light scheme. but the
site bought for the plant will not be sold
nor will the project be definite abandoned.
In tne opinion OF the Mayor it will be just
as well to keep that club handy.

When the 26 yards woven for the gown
was finished, the workman who watch
ed the shuttle was presented with an
envelope. Upon opening it he found a
weeks pay and a $50 bill. A brief note
told him to take a weeks vacation at
the expense of the firm and to keep his
lips sealed in regard to the fabric WOW
en- for the presidents daughter. Then
the design was destroyed. The greatest
secrecy has been maintained concern
ing the weaving of the design, which
was made by Miss Roosevelt herself.
The wedding gown will be trimmed in

velt's mothers family. Next in inter
est to the wedding gown is Miss Roose-

contests in amusing variety, and the
dainty luncheon was in keeping with

joyed particularly the accounts given

Prospecting for Copper

E. G. Bergen believes implicit
ly that there is copper to be
found in the ground in this
vicinity. He has recently put
men to work prospecting for
what he believes to be found in
paying quantities. A large num-
Der of pieces Of solid copper
have been found at different
times around on the hills sur
rounding the city, and this has
led Mr.. Bergen and others to
conclude that it is part of de-
posit. He has begun the work
near the place where the manu-
featuring of brick was carried
on last year. He is man of ex-
perience in this kind of work
and it will not be surprising if
something unusual develops from
his efforts.
