WESTERN COVER SOCIETY Following several preliminary meetings in the West, this national society was organized September, 1950. The object was to get together all who were inter­ ested in collecting Covers of the West, to exchange ideas and information and to publish the Western Express Quarterly. Many of our members work to seek out and preserve historic relics, maps, pictures, diaries and letters; collect and ex­ change western history books, cooperate with museums, libraries and historical societies and assist students, writers and educators. Wherever there is a group of members, they should call a meeting to talk, swap and exhibit covers and to boost the hobby. If you collect Western Express Covers, Ter­ ritorials, Town Cancellations or anything pertaining to the early mails of the Old West, you are invited to join the Society and enjoy meeting other collectors.

When filled out it becomes one of the safeguards for our very existence. We want to do bigger and better things, but, to do so we must have the wherewithal to pay for it. A membership committee's capacity is limited - every­ one must consider one's self a source for securing new members. So, let us get to work now and have these applications for membership filled out by high class pros­ pective members. We have been asked by a few of our contributors whether we can use Xerox copies of covers for reproduction. We definitely say 1 "No" in no uncertain terms. This goes for the address on folded letters, too. Xerox has its use for reproducing letters and documents 1 but definitely does not take the place of nice, glossy photos. We want our journal to improve as we go along and, so 1 we will continue to turn down Xerox pictures of covers . The Board of Directors has announced the appointment of Dr. A. J. Hertz to Honorary Membership without the payment of dues. Dr. Hertz was our first president and has 1 from the inception of our Society, been a director and active in sharing his knowledge of expresses with the membership. We congratulate you 1 Jay, for this well-deserved honor. Ballots for voting on officers and directors for 1971 and 197 2 will be included with the October issue. Be sure to look for them and send in your vote promptly. The nominat­ ing committee has already received several suggestions for directors. If you have members you feel should be considered, now is the time to send the name to me as chairman of the committee. Congratulations to our member, Robert A. Hanson. The U. S. Philatelic Classics Society has awarded him the Stanley B. Ashbrook Cup for 1969. This is a well­ deserved honor. We are mighty proud of you, Bob.

WESTERN EXPRESS - JULY 1970 Page 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAUFORNIA MINERS ENVELOPES by W. Scott Polland, M. D. This is not an attempt to offer an exhaustive, or complete study of this subject, but merely to act as a stimulus to further collecting and recording of this interesting subject. Pictorial envelopes are clearly related to letter sheets, but were made specifically for envelopes or covers. The average pictorial letter sheet illustration was too large to use on a cover. Because of the limited size of an envelope, the pictures usually show a single view, usually a miners scene of his daily life, but they may at times represent buildings, emblems or events of unusual historical interest, or even alle­ gorical scenes. Like letter sheets, these envelopes sold for a few cents each. Most of them were made by a few firms in the center of the "Gold Rush." Most of these are wood en­ gravings. Artists s~metimes signed, but many are anonymous. It is almost impos­ sible at times to separate artist, engraver and publisher. Most are in black and white, but some embossed scenes are in blue, green or red. J. M. Hutchings seems to have most of the copyrights 1 whereas Anthony and Baker seem to have produced most of them, and these were usually wood-cuts. Noisy Carrier book store sold many of them. Occasionally 1 a private express man in association with a small town book store would publish and sell them. Whereas, letter sheets 1 numbered in the hundreds 1 I have only seen 25 to 30 different types of illustrated envelopes. In order to understand this subject better, I refer you to Peters, "California On Stone," or Bairds 1 "California Letter Sheets 1 " both classics in their fields. The following are a few examples of miners envelopes from my collection:- F.tr..om MWtphyl>, CaLi.nottrU.a - "Mining Fttom sw:ta, CaLi.nottrU.a - "Roc./Ung Sc.e.ne.". Pubwhe.d by J. M. HLLtc.h.Utgl>.
