NEWS OF THE MINES AND THE OIL FIELDS CAMP OF LUNING ENTERS NEW ERA OUTPUT JUSTIFIES ERECTION OF SMELTER BOTH GOLD AND COPPER MINES ATTRACT INVESTORS First Mill of District Is Already in. Operation — Rich Strike at Dspth Strengthens Deep Mining Theory From sources reliable and conserva tive i rived data on the camp of Lulling, in Nevada, that leads to the conclusion the present year will wit ness activities there equal to anything in mining circles since the days of early Qoldfleld The year 1909 saw the advent of the first treating plant In the district, being that of the Del Monte Mining and Smelting company. Th« wildcatter has disappeared and legiti mate mining is being prosecuted In ana üboul Lunlns In a way that can «"\y result In marked success. The camp has, from every report, some of the best mild and copper properties in the south west, and with considerable capital al ready in the district and more to coin.; this year Lunlng and suroundlng coun try look with every assurance toward .1 period of permanent prosperity. With tile installation of tlio mill of the Del Monte Mining and Smelting company began the milling era in the Lunlng district, and several other com panies will follow th>> lead, according io .1. Holman Buck, editor of the West cm Nevada Miner (Mlna), who re cently inspected the properties of the district. Before the close, of 10M the greater nan of the ore output of that .section will he treated on the ground, Output Justifies a Smelter This output lias for some time past justified not only the construction of mills, hut a largo smelter as well. This smelter is now being promoted, pie- SUmably by eastern capitalists, and in all probability ground for the smelter v ill he broken this year. Near the Del Monte mines is the ■ stale of the Nevada-Qarfield Consoli dated Mines company, which had a rec ord production in early days of $46,000, --000 Mild which recently opened a rich ore ahoot in the lower workings by sinking a winze, from the tunnel level, A foot of this ore runs into picture values. Thi managi me:; 4, is now busy iv. blocking out ore reserves and uncover ing new ore shoots. This work is !>■■- Ing done preparatory to the construc tion df i treating plant to cost $Kio.oon, it is said. II Is 1" lieved this plant will be in operation before the close of the pi .gent year. Besides the enormous tonnage of ore In the underground workings then' are several tuns of g i milling grade piled on the dumps. Mr. Buck continues with a brief re view Df the properties of the camp. He writes: Some Shipments Are Made ■mi Hi.' New Y.n-k Copper property Mr. Randolph, who is in charge, has n Bmall force of miners ;it work. Borne shipments are being made. This prop erty, like the Mayflower group, the Turk and Wall Street groups, the Sun rlse mines of Col. A. (.'. Ellis of Suit Lake, the Borax .Smith estate, the Va cation claims of Dr. Plyraire and as sociates, the properties of Bernard McDevitt and A: L. Kempland, all have exposed large bodies and an enormous tonnage ->f copper, silver and lead ores, carrying good gold values. With a smelter of sufficient capacity these properties alone would prove a formidable rival of Ely. "The Nevada Champion Copper com pany promises to start operations shortly after the first of the year. The Arizona-Nevada Copper company, the Joseph L. Qlroux holdings, installed a sixty-five horse power hoist during the pant year and have sunk to a depth ..i 1 about 900 feet In the double com partment shaft. More claims have been acquired, and recently the com pany acquired several springs and there are strong Indications that the company will erect their proposed smelter.

Pushes Development "The Western Mineral company con tinues to push development with high ly satisfactory results in the way of valuable ore showings. Manager Row« land Lea of the Nevada Copper Hills Installed a gasoline hoist during: the year lflon, and a shaft has been sunk to a depth of 200 feet. The shaft will be continued to the 800-level and cross cuts run to the main ledge. Several good stringers were cut In sinking the shaft. Mr. Lea is pleased with the luture outlook. "George BelllS, manager of tlio Hat tier estate, has just returned from a trip to Washington and New York, where he has been In conference with tlie officials of the company. As a result of the conference he announces work will shortly begin on an exten sive scale. "The Nevada-Hawthorne Copper company has a small forte at work. A largo tonnage of high-grade copper ore has been exposed. Shipments have been made Which Rave' good returns. "Tlie old Montreal under its new owners, Hie Parker brothers of Goid- Qeldi made the record for the year in 8 striko of fabulously rich sold ore.

NEW DISTRICT FORMED SOUTH OF SEARCHLIGHT SEAHCHLIGHT, Jan. 18.—A meet- Ing of miners and prospectors residing south of Eldorado canyon was held recently for the purpose of organizing a new mining district. A petition, ad dressed to the board of county com- missioners, was prepared, and Harry Weincke, one of the oldest and most popular men in the district, named as recorder. The section embraced by the new district. Which will be called the (Sold Kagle mining district, is as fol lows: Beginning at the Nevada slate line, on the Colorado river, at the mouth of Eldorado canyon, the line follows the center of the Eldorado wash to the mouth of January wash; thence up January wash to BQUtheasi corner section 10, township :;t; south, range in east.

ASSOCIATED LOOKS TO NORTH MIDWAY FIELD SAX FANCISCO, Jan. 16.—That pro ducers of light oil in the Midway Held who do not tie themselves up with the standard will get 76 cents for their oil has i n stated by an official of the Associated Oil company, which has de cided to at once extend its Coalinga- McKlttricft iiip'' line, now building, on to Midway. This line will connect at Coallnga with the Port Costa pipeline, also now under construction. The Standard is making strenuous efforts to sign up contracts in Mid way, and is reported to have already tied up smile good ones. The company is understood to be willing to pay 66 cents on quantity contracts of 300,000 barrels or more, offering but 30 cents for 200,00 barrels. The Midway oil, as produced by the Santa Fe well on section 6, teats 23 gravity and is pronounced superior for refining purposes. The Standard already has offered Eagle Creek and .Midway Six companies 65 cents on quantity contract*, and it taking the St. Lawrence on dally runs. It has the only completed Dips line in the field, hence has an advantage over its com petitors. * « » TO ERECT A RIG KERN kivki:, Jan.

ALLIANCE APPLIES FOR WHARFAGE PRIVILEGES SAN LUIS OBISBe, Jan. Hi.— That the recently organized Alliance oil company will resume operations at the Oilport refinery in the near future, shipping ifs refined product from Avila, is, corroborated by the action of L. A. Phillips, who has applied to the super visors of the county for wharfage priv ileges at Avila. Mr. Phillips says the company will operate with oil from the I'tnal and Home companies of San ta Maria and will also Ret oil from the Pruducers pipe line. Later, when the QracloSß Oil com pany has completed a contract with the Associated for 3f10,000 barrels, the oil of that company will also go to the refinery of the Alliance. The supervisors have signified their willingness to grant the application of the Alliance on the same terms accord ed other companies.

LOS ANGELES TO GET CONVENTION AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS HEADS THIS WAY CITY'S RIVAL, SPOKANE, FAILS IN LAST EFFORT Generous Support of Local Mining Men Toward Securing Needed Legislation Wins National Applause It is now conceded that Los Angeles will get the next convention of the American mining- congress, through the efforts of its local affiliate, the Sierra Madre club. From the tenor of recenl remarks in the Northwest Mining News, pub lished at Spokane, it is • vident the northern city has lost heart in its ef fort to secure the American Mining Congress convention for the present year. The last issue contains the fol lowing editorial note: "It now seems highly Improbable that Spokane will secure the next meeting of the American Mining con gress. From reports coming to us it seems to be the polli y of the president of that organisation to farm thi met i inp: out to the highest bidder, and the pace,is getting so swin thai he has conceived the Idea of securing funds in this manner to not only pay the ex penses of the meeting, but alao to con duct a legislative campaign at Wash ington, D. <\, and in the 1 various gtatea. While Spokane can scarcely be regarded, as niggardly, the 1 citizens have ii"i sufficient Interest in the American Mining congress to desire to finance it for a year or to pay any part of the expenses beyond those in cident to the meeting, which of course would include the printing of tin- re port. It might lie well fur the presi dent of the congress to understand also that thi! sentiment is shared by tin- local members." Los Angeles the Rival While no names are mentioned, it is evident to those who know aught of the offer made by the Sierra Madre club that Lns Angeles is the rival re ferred to. The offer has been made in all earnestness and Includes the pay ment oC (5000 to the congress for th<' purpose <>r furthering needed legisla tion at Washington ami a further Bum to he expended in the payment of legitimate expenses of the convention. The position assumed by (he Spokane I Journal is not exactly fair either to its rival for the honor or to the officials of the congress, it' the American Min ing congress fulfills the purpose tor which it was organised and really represents the best Interests of the mining industry, it is quite evidi nt that legislation must he pressed to secure a bureau of mines and, as everyone knows, law-making, especially under rules of "senatorial courtesy" ami other tiresome congressional arro gances, is an expensive luxury.' The American Mining congress com prises only 12O<) members, when it should he .supported enthusiastically by at least 10.000, and the organization has been compelled to subsist upon the meager sum derived from the modest dues exacted. Secretary Lacked Support The secretary or the congress, dur ing the Fight before the last BCBfion of the national legislators, was compelled to live at cheap lodging houses and practically advance th.' entire sum spent in the abortive effort to awaken the representatives of the nation to a proper conception or their duty to an industry which employs about 2,000,000 men and contributes <;r> per cent Of the carrying trade of all our railroad . [t is time fho mining Industry was properly represented In the great fight for recognition and it cannot be done without a certain amount of ready money. Thi- city that cheerfully con tributes to tjie fund should be entitled to the honor of entertaining the. next mooting of the congress ami every other mining community in the" country Should applaud it for the unselfish mi i exhibited In the. work. Spokane, If unable or unwilling or ton Indifferent to help the cause with needed cash, should aid any other city willing to foot tlio bills, li Is unbe coming to sulk or nurse "a grouch" against officials who are doing their full duty by furthering the interests of every man connected with the Indus. try.

IMPRUDENT WAR CAUSE OF DECREASE IN WEALTH Fortune of France Shows Marked Diminution Since Fight on Capital Was Declared PARIS, Jan. 16.—The statistics of the death duties in Fram ■ have led to the remark In an Interesting report on the subject that of late years much more capital has been invested in for eign stocks than In the rentes. It is pointed out that In 18S8 the proportion for the French funds was ts per cent, and consequently 22 per cent for the foreign. Last year, however, a dimi nution of IS per cent in the former in vestments was noticeable. Sir li is the conclusion arrived at from a compar ison between the different years. There is also a rather marked dimi nution in the amount of the property declared. Last year the decrease amounted to more than 1120,000,000 to that of the period between 189] and 1895. Commenting on these facts, the Eclair says: "The fortune of France has dimin ished during- the last sixteen years. and this decrease coincides with the war imprudently declared against cap ital by politicians. In the period ISM to lwiri the fortune of France amounted to 147,000.000,000 In 1908 it was not more than 148,000.000,000, so ol!i< ial sta- tisties prove that in sixteen years the fortune of France haa undergone a diminution of 14,000,000,000. This is an experience which might serve ai a warning' elsewhere.'' To Quiet Her Bacon—l'm trying t<> get my wife to get a folding bed for herself. , i What for?
