6 From Mines and Oil Fields SENATORS SWINDLED BY SLICK PROMOTER 'Mining Engineer' and Associates Invade Capitol at Washing ton with Fine Results The mining swindler, against which (lip legitimate mining man lias fought for many years, has again cropped out in high places, this time among the of ficials at Washington, I). C, Involving the clerk of the senate committee and, through advertisements printed upon capital paper, such men as Senators IHck, Hryhurn. Gore, Sutherland, Hughes and others, some of whom are believed to have been onions the dupes. The big promoter In the scheme was one Alexander <;raydon, supposed to have headquarters In Los Angeles, who was "said to be In possession of very high grade gold properties In Mexico and wished a "little" money with which to purchase n 100-ton smelter to work out the less precious values. Nothing could be learned of Graydon in I.os Angeles yesterday, and It Is believed that if h. ever operated here it was under »n --other name. (Special to The Herald) WASHINGTON, Nov. *.-**« Akron Times on October 15 printed the fol- GoM-Copper rnrrmanv A V. Marsh, secretary, p?e™se communicate with stockholders' committee, Washington, D. C. Behind this llttlo advertisement Hes a lons story of deep interest to a num ber of persons in Ohio-how many is not known, but in Washington the number is believed to be great. It is the story of a mining venture which came to nought and left in its track many luckless "Investors." ..„,.., In the spring of 1906 W. 13. Marsh, who is clerk to the senate committee on mines and mining und the secretary of Senator Dick, called on a long list or his acquaintances in Washington and explained to them that his brother, A U. Marsh, had a "goon thing in Mexico. This brother was a practical mining man who had made a good deal of money in the Orovllle gold mining district of California. He had asso ciated with him a prominent .mining engineer, one Alexander Graydon of Los Angeles. Together they had formed a company which controlled a property of wonderful richness in gold and copper in the Guaynopa district of Mexico. The riches were in sight and what was needed was a little money to buy and install a 100-ton smelter which had already been con tracted for. ■ W. B. Marsh's letters, written on the stationery of the capitol at Washing ton, were Impressive to many persons. They were headed: "United States Sen ate, Committee on Mines and Mining." and then followed the names of the committee: "Mr. Dick, chairman; Mr. Scott, Mr. Heyburn, Mr. Nixon, Mr. Sutherland, Mr. Guggenheim, Mr. Till niiin, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Gore, Mr. Hughes, W. E. Marsh, clerk." moves TO OHIO From the headquarters of the Ohio Republican state executive committee, Clinton building, High and Chestnut streets, Columbus, Mr. Marsh wrote on October 30, 1906, as follows: "Now that the company's offices and business have been re-established, with headquarters at Los Angeles, every thing in connection with the proposi tion is moving ahead in good shape, and despite the delay caused by the earthquake the development of the mine itself has been proceeding unin terruptedly and the erection of the smelter and equipment of the mine for active operations will be brought through In good time, around, or not long after the first of the year. It is not overstating the matter to say that there is every reason to expect that all will have cause before very long to be glad that they secured some of this Stock at the price they have paid for it." An extract from a letter to stock holders written on senate paper Pop tember 26, 1907, follows: "Barring some unexpected delay, which though disappointing, is only temporary, and as all will agree when certain results are accomplished has been beneficial rather than detrimental, developments continue satisfactory, and It Is expected tc have the mine in operation and upon a returning basis around the first of the year." In a report sent to stockholders by Marsh under date of May 28, 1907, it was said that "Approximately 7"0 feet of tunnel work Is in solid ore": that "there is now opened up and ready for the smelter more than 1,000.000 tons of ore and not one-tenth of the led) is yet developed"; that "A largo part of this ore assays more than $100 per ton In copper alone, exclusive of gold and silver"; that, "On an adjoining prop erty quartz has been found assaying as high as $4000 in gold aloni (200 ounces per ton)" that "A little more money is needed to complete the equip ment;" and that "The power plant, ample for a 1000-ton smelter, and a 100-ton smelter to begin with have been contracted for and part of this equipment is now in process of con struction." "BONANZA" FADES Then a great dullne;.-. came over the bonanza venture. There were no more letters and no more reports so the stockholders affirm. Finally the years went by. Impatient stockholders would ask questions, but they declare they could not find out where the mi no was Bluated, where the offices of the com pany were, where President Graydon was or where Secretary A. V Marsh was, tlthoUfrh it was said W. E. Marsh told a few chosen stockholders that his brother had gone into the organization of a bigger company c .lied thn Plio shone Gold Dredging com] any, with rich placer claims on the Wind river in the Shoahone Indian reservation, which is in Fremont county, Wyo. Stockholders grew more Impatient. They wrote to various Mexican gov eminent officials, but they answered that they had no record of such a com pany as the Mexican Gold-Copper com pany. Enrique Creel, governor of Hie ; tate of Chihuahua (the state In which the mine was believed to be located) wrote that there was no record of such a company. The secretary of ptato for Arizona, whore the company ■was incorporated, wrote that nothing liad been heard of it since the incor poration fee had been paid. A large number of mining engineer* li Los Angeles were written to, but they had never heard of • Iraydon or his offices. On January 27, 1910, some persons In Ohio laid the rase before the post master general at Washington and it was Immediately referred to the ofiice of the chief inspector. The acting / JAMES WYNKOOP STANDARD BRINGS IN GUSHER IN MIDWAY Drillers Enter a Gas Pocket at 1500 Feet-Oil Shoots High Over Derrick BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 2.—The entire Midway Bold was thrown Into great i excitement Monday by the strike of the ! Standard Oil company on section 26, | 31-23, bringing 1 in a great gusher in one of the wells now drilling, which sent oil, water and mud 300 feet into the air for two hours. The great sight was visible from Taft, and people through i out the district were out with Held glasses and telescopes to get a clearer view of the spectacle, i From accounts from the field late j this afternoon it appears that a gas- I pocket was entered at 1500 feet with I the above result. It has not been de- i | t. rmined yet In what quantity the oil I I is present, but a great quantity of the i black fluid was thrown out this morn ing. The recent strikes of the com panies on sections 14 and 28, 31-24, in 1 the Elk Hills, together with the strike , of the Standard, only adds to the pro ducing belt or the wonderful Midway and proves beyond a doubt that the whole territory from the ridge of the : Elk hills to the Midway valley is oil bearing. The California Midway Oil company, section 32, 31-23, has gone into the sand with another well, and from all reports it looks like another gusher. There is a heavy gas pressure and oil is coming up through the drilling water. The Honolulu Consolidated on section 4, 81-23, in the Elk hills, has another big gas well on the north half of the section. Recently a similar well was brought in on the south half. The roar of the new well can be hoard for miles. It has not been capped. RIO TINTO SMELTER. 600 TONS- COMPLETED The smelting' plant of the Rio Tinto | Copper company at Tenazas, twenty miles north nf the City of chihuahua, has just been completed and is ready to blow in.

WORD FROM TEXAS Last spring one of the stockhold ers in Washington got in communica tion with Dr. Phillips, the state geolo | gist of Texas, who had just made a trip ' 1 through the Guaynopa district. He i thought that R. A. Walker or Charles B. Starkey of Colon la Juarez, Chihua hua, would probably know something about such a company. They did. And right here the real trouble of the story begins. Starkey and a partner, B. L. I ('rod', wanted to find the officers of the Mexican Gold-Copper Mining company j —particularly President Graydon. The correspondence with these men and with others in that neighborhood Is voluminous. Starkey'B letter was in part: "About four years ago E. li. Croff ! and Edmund Richardson, who are my ! present associates, and myself entered I into a deal with Graydon for a mining claim called the 'Utah,' under an agreement, lie. Qraydon, to pay us a certain sum of money and a block of capital stock outside of a 1.000,000 share I treasury fund. At that time Graydon had interested Rome parties in Califor : nia and later got Marsh Interested, We let them have full sway, subject only to business agreements, which were placed in bank. These men did not ! keep their agreements with us in any part and after many extensions of six months or more each, granting to them every concession asked of us; then they finally dropped out of Bight, leaving us and many others. I believe, to hold the sack. They paid very lit tle money on the mining end and we j carried some of their pay foils and 1 furnished supplies from our camp ■ alongside, over $1500 United States cur rency still unpaid. QIUTDON SKIPS "Graydon also left a man In charge (H. Muller) and this man had some $2000 Mexican currency still due.him In wages. He was finally induced to bring suit, which he did. against Gray don. and instead of selling Chattels only _to satisfy his claim, sold the laud and all. The sale of the land cannot pos sibly hold good, but still it has cast d cloud on the title for the present." The letters that conic up from the Mexican owners of thai land seem funny in the light of the stories At the millions of tons of ore at $100 a ton that were in Blught. The Mexican owners do not appear to know anything about the power plant for running a 1000-ton smelter and they do not seem to know anything even about the tem porary 100-ton smelter that was in course of construtcion in 1907. The stockholders are holding meet- Ings and having big laughs at their childish faith and the ease with which they gave up their money, but with many persons in Washington and it is feared In Ohio It has been a serious ox perience, Instances having come to light where husband and wife put their sav ings of years Into this mining venture, The Washington stockholders, or at least a number of them, have been trying to find the Ohio stockhalders, because it Is believed that they are still in the dark as to where those millions of tons of $100 ore are lo cated. .1. HARRY SHANNON. M WAR CORRESPONDENT DIES LONDON, Nov. 2. Melton Pryor, the win- correspondent and artist, who saw some twenty-four campaign! and inv olutions, died today. LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1910. PYRAMID SANTA PAULA NO. 2 IS 200 BARREL Unusual Production Manifests Itself at 1800 Feet-Steady Output Is Assured The Pyramid Oil company's No. 2 well on its Banta Paula property, after ! several days' test, has shown itself to ' be a steady producer of 2 barrels a day of high gravity oil. The well was finished a I a depth of 1800 feet after penetrating almost MOO feet of con tinuous oil sand, some par;s of which carrli d a very heavy flow of gas; strong enough at times, to throw the oil and water that was in the hole up over the top of the derrick. This is a quite unusual production and showing for the Santa Paula dis- I trict, and assures the Pyramid cojji- I pany a substantial production from this i roperty for the future. Wells Nos. 1 and 2 on the Pyramid's Prosperity property in the Kern river field were cemented off about a week ago. This is the second cementing job on No. 1, the first trial not having provefl successful. These wells will be drilled in within the next week. The usual production of this part of the Kern liver field, of from forty to sixty I barrels per day, is expected. MINING QUOTATIONS NEVADA STOCKS I Exclusive dispatch to The Herald by !•■ A.

The present tariff act, wtih the exception of a few amendments, dates back to J862, and the rates of duty hnve been conspicu ously low. The budget for 1911, howev er, as reported to the second chamber of the states general on September 20 last, emphasized the considerable and increasing deficit of recent years, and the financial situation brought forth an announcement from Queen Wilhel mina in her speech from the throne that a bill relating to the revision of the tariff would shortly be presented by the government.

Ho had been missing since Monday night. Morales attended b Halloween party Monday night at White's point and left about 10 o'clock. It is supposed he walked off the bluff. On a rock about half way down a tuft of hair was found. Ills left leg was broken and there were other evidences of the fall. The bluff at this point is over 100 feet high. Morales was 59 years old and leaves a wife and four children at 659 Fif teenth street.

RAILROADS UPHELD IN DAIRY PRODUCTS CASE WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Dismiss ing the complaint of the commercial club of Omaha against the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and other western and eastern railroads, the interstate commerce commission today upheld the rates on butter, epgs and poultry, in carload lots, from Omaha to central freight association and Atlantic sea board territory as reasonable, it de nied the club's petition for through rates, saying- that the complainant's own witnesses testified that the service was uniformity satisfactory. The commission took occasion to point out that any "quantity" rate of the railroads rests upon sound public policy, enabling the small shipper to compete fairly with its powerful com petitor.
