CONTEST OVER
FORCNONE ESTATE

Last week Mrs. Christin Forgnone
applied to Judge Ducker for appoint
ment as special administrators of the
estate of her deceased husband, Ange-
10 Forgnone. The motion was granted
by the Court and bonds fixed at $45,-
900, which were furnished, and Mrs.
Forgnone Immediately entered upon
the performance of her duties as ad-
ministratrix.
Today, however, what promises to be
one of the greatest contests in the his
tory of Humboldt county was precipi-
tated when Attorney II. Warren filed
in the District Court document which
purports to be the last will and testa-
ment of A. Forgnone, in which Steve
Ferraro is named as executor, without
bond
AS the estate is valued at more than
$150,000, the contest is liable to be
long drawnout and costly. AS above
stated, II. Warren is representing
Ferraro, while Mrs. Forgnone's IS inter
ests are being looked after by Curler
& Martinson, off Reno.

v. U. REDUCES
ITS CABLE Tolls

In addition to establishing night
letter and day letter service, the
Western Union mas recently inaugurat-
ed cable letter service. Heretofore
the rates on cable messages have been
so expensive that they were entirely
beyond the reach of the general pub
lie, who contented themselves with
the cheaper but much slower mail
service.
Under the new system 20 words may
be cabled from New York to Liverpool
or London for $l.50, as against the
former charge of 81 cents per word,
which is a reduction of about 80 per
cent. A special weekend letter will
be cabled at rate of 80 words for
$3.50. Winnemucca citizens wishing to
cable will be required to pay the toll
from here to New York. Cables for
continental Europe will be forwarded
from Liverpool or London by wire, at
a rate of from to cents per word,
according to distance, or will be mail
ed to their destination, the company
furnishing stamps free OF charge.
This reduction in the cable service
has been made possible by the fact
that the Western Union has recently
acquired full control of several cables
in which it was formerly but part
owner,

HOW GOLD WAS USED
IN THE DAYS OF 40

In the early days of California
money was very scarce and the need
of convenient medium of exchange
was severely felt "Gold dust'' was
the common tender in all business
transactions, and it was then that the
''bit,'' the short bit'' and the
"long bit,' which referred to various
small quantities of gold picked up be-
tween the thumb and first finger came
into vogue. In the west there still re-
mains the remains of the "days of
forty-nine' in the ''bit,'' meaning
1919 cents, "two bits,' indicating a
quarter of a dollar, etc.
In those days of gold, when man
had to pay dollar for a shave, and
very much more for some of the
most common of the comforts of life,
the constant weighing of small guam
titles of gold, both coarse and fine, be-
came troublesome, but there was at the
time no other way. To relieve to some
extent this pressing need or a convent
ent circulating medium, some men of
Mraiposa county decided to establish a
mint right at the mines, and according
" ordered the machinery in the east.
1t was shipped and in time reached
its destination and was installed in the
1uilding that had been erected for it.
The structure was situated not far
from the village of Bullion, and near
the Princeton mine. 1t was substan-
| TALLY built, with heavy rock falls, tile
roof and plastered with adobe.
| 1t was not until 1851 that the
mint was ready for actual work, but
it then quickly began to turn out the
famous $50 "slugs,' as they were
called These coins were minted from
pure refined gold, were eight-sided and
contained a full $50 worth of the
precious metal. They wore away rap
idly owing to the absence of alloy in
the metal. The old octagonal coins are
seldom seen now, and they ceased to
be used as medium Of exchange many
years ago. Still, the old--timer who is
fortunate enough to possess me of
them considers it worth far more
"than its weight in gold. Mining

FRANK GOLDEN LAID TO
REST AT CARSON CITY

With impressive ceremonies the
body of the late Frank Golden was
laid to rest today in the churchyard at
Carson City, beside the grave of one
of his children.
Hundreds of friends and acquaint-
ances visited the family residence on
Mill street this morning and viewed
the remains. The room in which the
casket had been placed was banked
with flowers, the gifts of loving
ones.
Shortly before 10 clock the cortege
moved to st. Thomas Aquinas church,
where Rev. Father Tubman celebrated
requiem mass. The Reno lodge Of
Elks attended the services in body.
At the conclsion Of the solemn
ceremony, the musical program Of
which was most beautiful, the Elks
escorted the body to the depot where
a special train was in waiting. Nearly
one hundred Elks and other friends
accompanied the remains to Carson
City, where the final service was per-
formed and the intrment took place
at O o'clock.-Gazette.

The annual inspection over the Pa
eific system of the Southern Pacific is
now on. The assistant chief engineer,
with the division and district engi
neers. are now travelling over the lines
of the company making a close ex-
animation of every particle of road
bed The members of this party are in
specting the ballasting work, the
drainage, the stations, pump houses,
fuel and power plants. This is an an
nual affair on the Southern Pacific and
the competition between the different
divisions is unusually keen. Intense
rivalry has been Grated. The superin-
ten dent of one division dos not like
to be taunted by officials of d rival
/ division and he strives, and the men
lunder him strive, to make their part
of the system the best.
This is healthy, effective rivalry.
Section foremen, roadmasters, train
masters and even division superintend-
ents vie with each other in their eff
forts to make their particular piece of
track the best on the road, or to have
it said that the trains under their SUI
Epervision are handled promptly and on
schedule time. 1t is a part of the
Southern Paeifc's campaign for eff.
cheney. 1t spells successful railroad
ing. During the fiscal year which end
ed last June the Tucson division re-
ceived the best average of the sys
TEN. The best roadmaster's district
was in this division, while the best sec
tion was on the Sacramento division
The Salt Lake division between
Sparks, Nevada, and Ogden, Utah, and
the Portland division between Ash
land and Portland, Oregon, have been
added to the Pacific system since the
last annual inspection and the other
eight divisions of the road have beer
taking exceptional care of their road
bed, etc, in an endeavor not to lei
these new divisions take the honor'
fer the present year.
Two of the divisions have already
been inspected The others will hav,
been gone over within another 81,
