TOWN LOST ON DESERT
IS SOUGHT BY COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Until Survey Is Made Location of CaU
zona Cannot Be Officially
Determined
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 22.—Be
fore determining' whether Calzona is to
remain wet or become a no-saloon
town the board of supervisors have de
cidrd to have the lines established and
determine definitely where this newest
desert railroad camp is situated,
If the survey shows that Calzona is
in San Bernardino county, and not Riv
erside, as some insist, there is no ques
tioning that it is in Whlpple precinct,
which voted dry in November of 190 S.
It was presumed, when tho liquor li
cense was granted, that Calznna was in
another precinct. The board of super
visors have sot March 14 as tho date
when tho matter will again be brought
up, and if the engineers establish the
town In San Bernardino Calzona's one
saloon will pass out of existence.
The question as to the location of
Calaona lms been unsettled for a num
ber of months, but the protest of Rev.
D. M. Gandier of the anti-saloon league
against tho conducting of a saloon at
that point brought the matter to an
issue. Since that time there have been
other sources of trouble over the doubt
in the location of the town in ques
tion, and it has now been decided to
establish the county line.
PLAN SPORTS AS ANNUAL
FEATURE AT PASADENA
Chariot Race Will Be Left for Tour.
nament of Roses Exercises New
Year's Day
PASADENA, Feb. 22.—President Cary
of the Tournament of Roses association
ceenied well pleased with the attend
ance at the park this afternoon and
implied that if the Altadena hill climb
is abandoned It is likely that an after
noon of sports will be held each yeur
on Washington's birthday.
"You may state, however," says Mr.
Cary, "that the four-horse chariot race
is it distinct feature of the New Year's
day celebration and the directors are
averse to holding it any other time.
For that reason wo decided that when
chariot racing is Indulged In at any
other time the teams shall be limited to
two horses, but to make it exciting we
arranged for three entries in each heat.
The two-horse chariot is the original
Roman style of running, and it is sel
dom that four horses are used as they
are on New Year's each year at our
celebration."

night for the purpose of organizing a
permannent polo association here. Rob
ert Lee Bettner, president of the River

TRUSTEES VOTE TO
PURCHASE ROLLER
LONG CONTROVERSY AT OCEAN
PARK ENDS
Straws May Be Drawn to Decide
Who Will Be Allowed to
Ride in Cab of
Machine
QCEAN PAPwK, Feb. 2.'.—Adopting
the recommendation of Trustee J. D.
McKlnnon that the purchase of a steam
roller is tin; best investment the city
can make, the board of trustees has de
cided to order the roller. It will cost
about $3500. Unless someone enjoins
the city from consummating the roller
deal, this may be considered the last
act in a little play on the part of the
trustees that lias famished entertain
ment of a vaudeville sort tor the citi
zens for many weeks. At one time an
irreparable split of the- board threat
ened to result from the steam roller
When it was first decided to purchase
a steam roller to keep in repair the city
streets opposition on the part of some
of the trustees was shown. President
11. 15. Eakins and Trustees J. D. Mac-
Kinnon and George Washington Foster
Savored buying the machine, while
Trustees Elijah Griffith and Kdward
Horan have fought the plun from the
beginning. While the controversy was
at its height President Kakins became
ill and was unable to attend the meet
ings of the board for more than a
month. Despite his absence, the road
roller controversy rolled un, and ill
feeling between several of the trustees
developed. On one occasion Trustee
Horan applied tho name of "czar" to
Trustee MacKinnon, when the latter,
acting as president of tho board, re
fused to allow Moran to talk about the
.strain roller.
The arguments of Trustees Griffith
and Horan that the city has no money
to buy steam rollers, and that such
action would be literally squandering
the money, have carried no weight, and
tlio three members of the board favor
ing it have steadfastly insisted that the
dial be made. Trustee MacKinnon de
clared he had investigated the road
roller proposition and was positive that
it would be a money saver for the city.
It is said tho next procedure will be
the drawing of cuts among the trustees
to see which shall ride in the cab uf
the new steam roller when it arrives at
Ocean Park. The victory of the trio of
trustees over their two opposing'col
leagues in the purchase of the machine
is said to bo so gratifying to them that
some sort of a celebration will be held
when the roller gets here.

MAY ISSUE BONDS
TO PAY FOR HORSE
REDONDO BEACH TRUSTEES IN
QUANDARY
Flood of Bills Following Death of
"Bessie" Equal the Original
Cost of That Valuable
Animal
REDONDO BEACH, Feb. 22.—50 nu
merous are the claims filed against
the city for services during the illness
and following death of a valuable city
horse that the authorities are begin
ning to fear a bond issue v ill liftvo to
bo voted to provide the necessary
funds to settle them. Up to date the
total amount claimed among a dozen
different men is $100, and more bills
are expected to be presented.
Bessie, one of the big, black team
of horses owrf&d by the city, is the one
that has proved such a luxury to the
taxpayers of Kedondo Beach. Her
demise occurred in January, but it
was only recently that the, expense of
her prolonged illness and subsequent
passing away were made known to
tho general public by the tiling of the
claims which almost equal her orig
inal purchase price. Had poor Bessie
known what her carelessness in be
coming indisposed and lying down to
vie would cost ttie city it is considered
exceedingly probable that her better
horse sense would have induced her
to recover at once or else hasten her
death struggles and have, thu perform
ance .done with. Kveuts appear to in
dicate that she did not know this, and
the story of her last illness is pathetic,
but comical.
There is no veterinary surgeon at
Redondo Beach. Consequently, when
Bessie became sick, a veterinary at
Los Angeles was sent for. His bill
to the city after the death of Bessie
was $74.50. But this is not the worst
of It, although it is the biggest indi
vidual claim filed. Bessie had to have
a nurse during the eight days that
she was sick in the city barn back of
the city hall.
Disease Not Determined
Aa far as could be ascertained, the
exact cause of tlio mare's death was
not announced, but she is said to have
suffered from lumbago With a compli
cation possibly bordering upon appen
dicitis or tuberculosis of the spleen.
Even a post-mortem examination con
ducted immediately following Bessie's
death failed to disclose the precise
cause of ail the trouble.
While Bessie was sick in the city
barn part of the city's street equip
ment was removed to make more room
for the mare, whose nurse insisted
that she muat have absolute quiet.
Bills for the rent of a Suitable place
to store the city property are accord
ingly part of the total.
Now. even a sick horse cannot get
properly cared for without medicine,
and this waa furnished by a local
,! n ip-jriKt to the value of 518. Kvery
one concerned in the; matter admits
that it wasn't the fault of the modi
cine that Bessie failed to get well, and
this bill will be paid by the city.
Bessie cost about $200 when the, city
bought her some time ago, and it was
felt that an Insignificant slim like this
expended for — ndiclne would be a very
safe investment. .
The comical climax to the tragic end
ing of Bessie comes with the presenta
tion of the final claims for burial of
the deceased animal. According to
the city treasurer, at least six bills
for this service have been presented,
each man claiming from $1.50 to $3 for
his port in the funeral. The finance
committee of the city board of trus
tees is said to be greatly perturbed
over the question, "How many men
does it require to bury a dead horse?'
and an Investigation is said to be
under consideration.
When a reporter attempted to get
further details of the last chapter In
Bessie's biography E. Jensen, city
street superintr:vi P nt, with choking
voice, as he recalled fond memories of
'the great work done by the mare in
the city's streets, refused to discuss
the subject. - J _.
CHARGED $5.75 FOR SHAVE
SAYS TRUCKEE TOURIST
Visitor to Los Angeles Goes to East
Fifth Street Barber Shop—Com
promises on $4.50
"If a shavo costs $5.75, how much
does a hair-cut oost?" was the ques
tion propounded to the detectives at
police headquarters last night by K.
F Hayes a tourist from Truokee, Cal.
Mr Hayes arrived in Los Angeles
last night to pass a few weeks and
after riding on the cars decided his
dust-begrlmed beard should be shaved.
He states the beard was shaved and
"he was trimmed." .
After leaving a Southern Pacific train
at the Arcade station, Hayes entered
the barber shop, 903*! East Fifth
street, and asked for a shave. Ine
shave was given, and then other ton
sorial feats performed, which were not
ordered. Mr. Hayes thought the Los
Angeles barbers were unusually gen
erous in using hair tonic, hair dyes,
massage cream, etc.
When his clothes had been brushed
lie received a check which called for
a payment of J5.75 at the head bar
ber's stand. Hayes remonstrated and
exclaimed that lie had only called for
a shave and was willing to pay 15 cents
for the same.
According to Hayes 1 story, the
wielder of the razor stated he had also
applied a valuable hair dye, which in
creased the bill.
"Fifteen cents for the shave and $0.60
for the hair dye," murmured Hayes.
An argument followed, which resulted
in a compromise, the stipulation being
that Hayes pay $4.50.
Hayes paid the money, glanced at
■himself in a looking glass, saw Ins
hair in the natural color and then re
ported to police headquarters.

RAY-WINKELMAN
EXPECTS A BOOM
RICH REGION IN ARIZONA AR
RESTS ATTENTION
COMPLETION OF SMELTER WILL
START ACTIVITY
For Miles Around Proposed Reduction
Plant Lie Numerous Claims of
Promise —Country as a Pro
ducer Is Practically New
WINKELMAN, Ariz., Feb. 22.—A
great deal has been said of Winkel
man being a milling and smelting cen
ter, but very little has been said In
regard to the undeveloped or developed
properties that are within a short
distance oC this place.
The Christmas and London Arizona
are among the proved properties being
developed. They are large and well
developed, well managed and well
financed. There are several smaller
companies near them that have excel
lent showing and are being developed.
There are within a radius o£ ten
mlles of thi» place at least twenty
properties, from five to twenty claims
each, and a great many of them ud
join each other. Theso have the very
best showing. The veins are from ten
to 200 feet wide and can be traced
for miles. Some of these properties
have not been developed beyond year
ly assessment work, while others have
been worked to production. Work could
be continued on them, but the owners
are waiting for the Ray Consolidated
company to start Its big smelter.
The country is practically new to
the mining world, as most everybody
has looked toward it as a milling and
smelting center only, but when it be
comes known to the mining world it is
sure to bo a great producing district.
The new railroad up the San Pe
dro valley will open one of the richest
valleys in this part of Arizona. There
are several proved mines between here
and Benson; some of them are rich
enough to pay the operators to freight
their supplies from forty to eighty
miles by team, while others, although
paying properties, cannot afford this
long haul by wagons. Then there arc
groups without number between the
Glla river and Benson that could be
financed and would be if the railroad
was a certainty.
There arc two old surveys made In
this valley, one on each side of the
river. They were made by the Santa
Fe & Pacific, when that road built to
this place from Phoenix. The Santa
F & Pacific is now working on one
and the other is open. There is plenty
of undeveloped country in this district
for two railroads and It would make
it one of the best in Arizona.
The Santa Fe & Pacific is completing
its extension to the Christmas proper
ty then that mine will be shipping
ore to the smelter. It is expected that
they will be heavy, shippers.
The London Arizona company is
about ready to install its machinery
and it will not be long until It will be
ready to treat ore. This will mean a
large amount of tonnage. .
The Ray Consolidated company has
in course of construction its 10,000
--ton mill and a smelter for its own oro
and custom work also. The founda
tion is about complete for the struc
tural iron and the first two units of
500 tons each will be ready June 1.
This will mean an Immense tonnage
toTh£. '"'present more freight
coming into Hayden and Winkelman
than to all other points on this branch
The railroad recently enlarged its
yards at this point to about twice the
original capacity, which speaka well
Everything is progressing, business
is growing and every firm is enjoying
profitable trade. The town is being
surveyed and it will not be long until
the people will own the property they
have squatted on.
EASTERN OIL MEN HERE
During the past few weeks there ha^e
been many eastern oil men looking through
the California fields with a view to oecurlnß

SHIPS CARLOAD OF ORE
A carload of new ore has been shipped
from the Ilellelleur mine, south of Klngman,
lothe smelter. This ore is rich in gold
and lead, and Is a very desirable anelns
ore H M. Bowen and associates, who hsvo
the property under bond, are getting things
In shape for active development. They have
a hoist and compressor on the miao and are
sinking a two compartment shaft that will
roach below tho old workings before cutting
the vein. Owing to a break In the shaft
work Is now carried on_ by hand.
MILL IN OPERATION
The entire milling plant of tho Tom Reed
company at Kinsman. Ariz.. WU placed In
commission last week. Everything abou
tho plant Is automatic and the decreased
cost of milling will be quite noticeable The
plant is capable of handling at least 1.0

The ore row extracted and treated In this

."00 mid 700 levels of the Gnldroad mine
In -iiid to be fnr richer than that here
tofore taken from the property, and the
bullion output will be Increased by many
thousand* of dollars during the present
month.
Those who are in a position to Judge
say the property Is getting bigger and
richer with every nionfh'ti work, and
that It I» destined to be one of the larg
est producers of gold In tbe Inrfed
sinlcfc.
The average of the ore taken from
the old works was low compared with
the present valued, yet the company
m enabled to pay dividends from the
lirollts. In the old mill the cost of ex
traction nil very high, while In the
new plant the cost has been reduced to
q minimum.
BIG SMELTER PLANNED
IN JOHNSON DISTRICT
BENSON, Feb. 22.—The Arizona Con
solidated Is now pushing work on its
mines, and extensive changes and im
provements arc contemplated on its
smelter, which it is reported from an
authoritative source will be removed
from Its present location to a more
centrally located one for the whole area
of the Johnson district and transformed
into a first-class customs crusher.
The Consolidated is now working
three shifts at two of its best proper
ties. The shaft at the Mammoth Is
down to 350 feet. It will be sunk to a
depth of 1000 feet. The shaft on its
other mine has been sunk 800 feet. The
ores are all sulphides, and the company
is getting its own limestone from these
properties. The monthly pay roll of
the district is now in the neighborhood
of J6OOO.
The Johnson Development company,
which owns valuable properties in the
district, has reached a depth of 350
feet with its shaft, and has just pur
chased a new 40-horsepowcr hoisting
engine. It is the intention of the com
pany to go down to a depth of 1500 feet
before stopping.
At the Black Prince the shaft is
down about 600 feet. Only one shift is
being worked on this property.
There Is considerable talk of reopen
ing trie famous old Pcabody property,
from which was taken $2,000,000 worth
of ore before it was closed down. It
has been idle a number of years.
The removal of the smelter to a more
central location in this mining district
is believed to be a certainty at some
future date, although no definite steps
have as yet been taken. Its removal
and reopening as a ilrst-clasa customs
smelter, it is said, would be of immeas
urable benefit to the various properties
Included in the Johnson district.
UNION OIL PREPARES
TO EXTEND INTO OJAI
The Union Oil company is preparing
to extend its oil line from Santa Paula
to the Upper Ojai country to take the
oil from the Ojai Oil and Development
company's two wells. The oil has been
tested and found to be of from 17.8 to
IS B. The Union already has a line to
the wells of the Pacific Crude and Cap
ital Crude companies, about one mile
away, DUt this line is a small one and
not suited to this gradij of oil. It is
likely therefore that a new line of large
size will be laid in order to handle the
oil that is being developed in this sec
tion.

MEXICO OIL MEN
WITHHOLD FACTS
NEWS OF DEVELOPMENT IS
SECOND HAND
LARGE OPERATORS KEEP LAND
IN DARKNESS
Petroleum Fields of Republic Offer In.
ducements Now Available Only
to Big Interests Through
Secrecy Maintained
Mexico to most Americans seems a
long way off and as if the country were
too sparsely populated to bring prof
itable results, but the oil companies
operating there are sanguine and full
of determination.
The Waters-Pierce Oil company has
a new 1000-barrel well at Topila. ThU
well is 2400 feet in depth and the JoK
shows that it is drilled in territory
thiit produces long life wells.
Topila. is near the Panuco river,
which runs by Tampico and Is navig
able, a tact that makes Uiia fi«-ld moro
important, as barges can be floated to
the Tampico refinery at very moderate
cost.
The Huasteea Petroleum company,
which is now building a pipe line from
the Uzulama fields of Vera Cruz to
Tampico, Is planning a line to run
from the Huasteca fields to Mexico
City and has asked the Mexican gov
ernment the right to take water from
the Chuolmras river to operate pump
ing stations. As the line to Mexico
City will cross the mountain, large
numbers of pumping stations and tanks
will have to be built.
The Mexican Petroleum is about the
largest producer today in Mexico, and
is constantly adding to its holdings.
only recently it brought in a well in
Chijol district that is flowing at the
rate of several thousand barrels a day.
Best Camp in Mexico
The Ebano camp at Tampico is said
to be the finest and most complete
camp in Mexico.
The Southern Pacific, known as the
East Coast Oil company, has a small
well of profitable oil on the Mendez
tract, west of Tampico. Its No. 1 was
abandoned at 4000 as unsatisfactory.
It is drilling two more wells now and
engaged otic of the best engineers in
the country to look after its inter
ests.
A field that is almost unknown lies
in the Tamaulipin district. Consider
able work has been done in this camp
and several wells are expected soon.
But be as it may, for some reason
the people operating in Mexico do not
seem to want any news of the fields
to become public and all the news re
ceived is generally second-hand. The
fields of Mexico seem to offer induce
ments at the present time to large
operators. As soon as the pipe lines
from the several districts are com
pleted the oil will go direct to the re
finery at Tampico and save storage.
WOULD CLEAR TITLE
An effort Is being made to clear the title
to the old Mohave & Milltown railroad that
a sale may be made to the people engineer
ing the proposed railroad from below Yucca,
Ariz., to tha McCraoken mine, thence to a
connection with the Bouse & Swansea rail
road, near the Bill Williams Fork. The
rails and ties will be taken up and boated
down the Colorado river to Topocic. where
they will be shipped by rail to the Junction, ,
and used on the first seventeen miles of the
road Work on this line is to be rushed as
soon as the material can be laid on the
ground.

OPERATE SEVENTEEN HOISTS
It Is said that when the Needles Mining
and Smelting company has its mines In
Wallapal district fully equipped there will
be seventeen hoists In operation. Many of
the hoists are now being brought in and It
is expected that the others will be put on
the properties as soon as the new work Is
mapped out.
