GOLD DISCOVERY
WINS ATTENTION
OPERATORS AROUND BENSON
ORGANIZE
SINK SHAFT SIXTY FEET INTO
YELLOW METAL
Dragoon and Florence Districts Are
Both Scenes of Rich Strikes.
Extensive Developments ,
Now In Progress
TUSCON, March 22.—The big gold
strike at steel hill, eighteen milea east
and eight milea north of Bensron, la
■aid to in* monopolizing tho attention
of the district.
The Cochise Gold Mining and Mill
ing company has been organized, with
11. 11. Morrow, P. W. Corcoran, Beth
Merrill, Oliver Merrill, P. W. Moody,
W. J. Smith and John Magee as dl
rectors,
The company is rapidly being fin
anced and work Is going ahead night
1.11,1 day. The shaft is down 80 feet
with gold values in every pound of the
ore that comes out. Borne of the ore
shows the yellow metal all through it.
The ..hall will he sunk tO I lie HID foot
depth and then a cross-cut will be run
to ascertain tin* width of the vein. All
the ore so far is the finest kind of
milling gold, it is said.
Btubbs, Heady and Baker, who own
twelve claims west of the Cochise
holdings, are going to start a.i explora
tion shaft and other mine owners In
the camp are working, and the dis
trict is very lively.
ii is said that the property of the
Montezuma Hold Mining company,
four miles from Florence, la develop
ing Into a mineral marvel. It is
showing not only the most unusual
richness In gold values, hut an as
tounding variety of metallic contents.
Assays made of two or three dif
ferent aasayers gave the following re
sults: (1) $1056.20. (2) $11.75, and (3)
$342.40, in gold per ton; and a general
average of over $500 gold a ton.
The variation In these assays is due
to the fact thai the samples were tak
en from the, different parts of the vein,
across a width of fifteen feet.
Contains Native Copper
The ore also contains fine particles
of native copper and carries 18 pounds
of the native copper to the ton.
Another discovery is reported In the
same locality and said to in* greater
value than that of tho Montezuma
mine, and owned by Brown and Per
ham. Two ranchmen named Meyer
and Troxel mad.' the discovery. It
is on the same lode and lias added to
ii,, excltment caused by the original
discovery.
The Dragoon district, Cochise county,
has been more extensively developed
the past year than during ail the years
previously, The mines at Dragoon
are on the main line of the Southern
Pacific,
The following named mining com
panies an now developing their prop

SALE AT AURORA MAY
CREATE SUMMER BOOM
BODIE, March 24.—The • property
known as the Cain Consolidated Min
ing company of Aurora lias been sold,
and the price paid tor it is 1260,000, ac
cording to J. K. Cain. The purchasers
of this property will install electric
power and machinery for the purpose
of working it on a large scale, and by
tin* 1 ally summer Aurora will ex
perience some of her old-time activity.
The Southern Consolidated property In
liotlio has also gone through ■ little
change, and that ground will be given
an opportunity to show what Is con
tained in its ledges.
The proposed power plant In Mill
Creek canyon will be built tills sum
mer and operations started lmmo
diately. This plant will furnish power
for Bodle and Aurora, and for the
present will be confined to th.'si* two
camps. As to other enterprises In
which Mr. Cain has an interest each
and all will be taken up and advanced
in turn. The connecting lino of the
proposed railroad will bo rushed to
completion so as to give freight an op
portunity to land 1111 the ground at a
closer terminal than the point now
used In Nevada,
Judging from this Information and
the genera] topic of conversation, the
outlook for Mono county Is good.
The water that litis been (lowing
Into Mono lake for years «iii be used

TEXAS COMPANY WILL
DRILL FIFTY WELLS
[Special to The Herald. 1
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 24.—
According to S. A. Hopkins, one of the
officers and principal stockholder In the.
Boston-Texas corporation, fifty wells
will be drilled by that concern on its
holdings of oil Ileitis in McMullen
county, south of this city. There are
now seventeen wells on the property,
which, without pumping, yield a little
over 600 barrels of oil a day. The work
planned will be completed by the end
of this year and will Insure a supply
Of 6000 barrels a day.
The oil is of tho very best quality
and is said to bo present in large
volume. Geological experts and prac
tical oil men, who have examined the
field, an* of the opinion that Mi Mullen
county and parts of adjoining counties
are underlaid with vast basins of oil
and that the possibilities of the fleld

LAKE VIEW WELL
INCREASES FLOW
EXACT PRODUCTION IS NOW
SET AT 42,000 BARRELS
GUSHER RESEMBLES THE FAM.
OUS HART WELL
Oil Shoots to a Height of 480 Feet
Backed by Steady Pressure
of Gas Casing
Is Safe
Tho Lake View gusher continual to
increase In volume, and tho exact pro
duction Is now set at 42,000 barrels a
day, according to Charles F. Off, who
returned from the well In fractional
section _', Sunset Midway Held, yea
terday.
"Oil was being sent to a height of
480 feet Tuesday afternoon, and, as
there is no decrease in volume, there
must be an Increase ln the amount
produced, it would seem," said Mr.
Off who is a director of tin: Lake View
company and locator of the well,
"The How of oil Is steady, Indicating
that there is a. constant force behind
It. The pressure Is not of the fluctuat
ing character usual with gas, ami after
watching the well for many hours I
was Impressed with the idea that the
pressure is the same as if an outlet
from a natural reservoir of oil high
up In a hill had been struck, It seems
that the oil Is seeking to rise to Its
former level, with tho pressure of great
and constant weight behind It."
The Lake View is said to be similar
in many respects to the celebrated
Hart well In the Santa Maria
field, that was brought In live years
ago by the Union Oil company with an
initial production of 16,000 barrels
daily.
After a year the production, was In
excess of 3000 barrels dully, and it Is
now producing 400 barrels.
Because of the line quality of the
sand, no fear Is felt that the enormous
pressure will cause the wearing away
and destruction of the casing in the
Lake View before the first force has
been expended.
Of ■ the oil produced by the Lake
View since It was brought In, Monday
of last week, It Is estimated that 350,
--000 barrels had been saved up to Tues
day night. Three earthen reservoirs
and two 55,000-barrel tanks have been
liiled. The nil Is now being pumped
Into a 500,000-barrel reservoir, formed
by damming a dry arroyo.
The Lake View company was organ
ized In November, 1908, by It. D. Wade,
Charles F. Off, Julius Frio and F. E.
Dunlap.
In August last 61 per cent of tho
stock was purchased by the Union Oil
company.
The stockholders of the company, be
sides the Union, at the time the gusher
was brought ln were F. P. Wells,
George S. Bafford, It. D. Wade,
Charles F. Off, Orris Bemls, Carl Leon
unit, Dr. Clarence White, Julius Frie.
The officers and directors of the
Company are: W. L. .Stewart, presi
dent; W. W. Orcutt, vice president;
Giles Kellogg, secretary arid treasurer;
It. D, Wade, Julius Frie, George S.
Safford, Charles F. Off.

WINDSTORM SCATTERS
OIL FROM LAKE VIEW
BAKERSFIELD, March 24.—
heavy windstorm which swept the oil
fields Monday is said to be responsible
for losses aggregating many thousands
of dollars to companies operating
tliere.
At the Lake View gusher alone It is
said that the lOSS will reach $15,000 to
$20,000. This well was spouting about
40,000 barrels a day, shooting a stream
280 feet Into the air, when caught by
the wind and carried for three miles.
it Is estimated that 60 per cent of that
day's flow was lost.
A railroad train passing three miles
away was painted black with wind
driven oily spray. •
The gusher, which has been flowing
more than a week, shows no signs of
abating. Several derricks In other
parts of tho field are said to have been
blown down.
TWENT-FIVE COMPANY
TO DRILL DEEP WELLS
BAKKRSFIELD, March 25.—When
the Twenty-five Oil company finishes
throe more wells now staked for drill
ing, a search will be made for the
deeper sand from which the Standard's
gusher on sectlorf 30, 32-24 brings its
oil. The wells the Twenty-five Is now
drilling are on tin* west halt' of section
25, 82-23, but the. exploration for tho
deeper ."and will be made on an Ir
regular sixty-acre tract In the north
east quarter of the section.
The Standard's 10,000-barrel gusher
is near the renter of section 80, which
adjoins section 25 on the east.
Superintendent Clay says he will bo
ready to start the deep well in about
ninety days. Mr. Clay believes the
Standard's rich sands underlie all the
Twenty-five property,', but he will get
as near the gusher as possible to begin
his exploration. .' , • . ■ ,

MIDWAY CHIEF COMPANY
NEGOTIATES FOR LAND
IN MARICOPA DISTRICT
The Midway Chief company is nego
tiating for proved acreage in Maricopa.
The tract Is a 20-acre piece of land for
which a receiver's certificate has been
issued, thus insuring patent. This tract
is said to be absolutely proved, and is
in that part of the field which produces
the best road oil in the state. Good
road oil has in the past been difficult
to secure, the consumption exceeding
the supply.
Should the company secure this
proved ground it would place it ln a
strong position, having the lease ln
the North Midway field, which Is con
sidered likely oil land, with a good
Chance of getting oil, besides the addi
tional asset of this absolutely proved
parcel. ' "
It's as easy to secure a bargain in a used
automobile, through want advertising, as It
used to be—and still Is— to aecure a horse
. and carriage.

MAYS' TRIUMPH
QUIETS RUMORS
OILMEN SAY SECTION WILL
SOON BOAST MANY WELLS
I
BIG GUSHER PROVES ABSENCE
OF WATER IN SAND
United Prepares to Start Six Rigs on
Adjoining Property and as
Many More on Section
Twenty.Si*
I
I Now that the Mays well in section 30,
I North Midway, has started In as a.
' gigantic gusher for the. second time In |
Its brief career of a few weeks, eon- j
fldence in the future of that part of j
the iii l.i has been strengthened ten- |
fold, and it is the belief of 611 nun !
that ii number of good wells will be i
brought In on section 80 and adjoin
ing sections this spring. j
The report reliably sent out from
Bakersfleld yesterday that the Mays I
well in breaking loose for the second |
time had Increased Its production to
50,000 barrels a day has completely re
moved the element of doubt existing I
in financial circles that the well would
be nothing more than a water hole.
When the well choked several days
ago water from an upper stratum
found Its way into the casing, causing
the report to go forth that the well
was flowing only water and was there- i
fore a bad risk from a speculative
standpoint.
The Mays well is now reported to be
doing better In every way than be
fore it choked and the United Oil com- !
pany, which owns property adjoining
on section 24 expects to begin drilling
within a very short time. Secretary
Hedrlck said yesterday that six rigs
Were ordered two or three weeks ago
and would be Installed on the Unlted's ',
40-acre property on section -i as soon
as received. These wells will be drilled
at the most favorable positions on the I
property and it in said to be an excel
lent speculation that at least one of I
them will prove a big gusher.
The United company has also or
dered six rigs for its eighty acres on
section 26, near the American Oilfields
property, and work here will begin as
soon as the material Is received.
Besides these twelve rigs of the
United others have been ordered for l
the several properties-, four of which
will l) placed on section 6, where the j
company already has two finished wells
and two drilling. One of the wells
now drilling Is expected to come in al
most any day, as it lias about reached I
the average depth of the other wells iv
that Immediate vicinity.
Secretary Hedrlck says eighteen rigs j
are now on the way to the several
properties and that ln all twenty have .
been ordered.
THIRTY NINE NEW OIL
COMPANIES ORGANIZE
COALINGA, March 24.—Four oil '
companies, with an aggregate capital- !
ization of $2,000,000, have filed articles
of incorporation with the secretary of
state for the purpose of developing
at Coalinga and elsewhere.
One of these, the Consolidated Big
Ten Oil company of San Francisco,
has a capital stock of $1,000,000. The
next largest ls the Castle Oil company,
also of San Francisco, which has a ,
capital stock of $600,000. The other
two are the Dardole company of San
Francisco, with a capital stock of
$300,000, and the Mahaska Oil company
of Los Angeles, which is capitalized for
$100,000.
During the last fortnight there have '
been altogether thirty-nine oil com- j
panics incorporated in California. The !
capital stock of these concerns aggre
gates approximately $21,000,000. The
majority of these companies have
headquarter! In either Los Angeles or
San Francisco, but will operate In
various parts of the state. Tin* Coal
inga fields figure most conspicuously
and the Kern fields. Including Mari- *
copa, are second in the list of localities "
In which the newly incorporated com
panies will operate.
Record Oil company has agreed to
sell to Standard Oil company in the
Coalinga field oil products from south '
half of south half of southeast quarter
of 22-19-15 under date of .March 10, 1910; '
also the Caribou Oil Mining company :
product of the southwest quarter of
22-19-15.
Well No. 2 of the M.. K. and T. is
doing regular work now and is giving ,
promise of keeping it up. About 3.",0
barrels a day is the gait, and it does
it without sanding.
Well No. 1 of the M.. K. and T. is
down to the ■_.!_, having passed through
128 feet of oil sand. • The pipe is now
being taken out, and soon the work of
drilling the cement will be begun nt
the 2700.
The Security company expects to
strike the same formation at about the
same depth, it being only a few hun
dred feet distant.
Cam well No. 7 spudded In Tuesday,
and as everything Is In flrst class
shape, there should be no reason why
the work should not proceed rapidly.
The Hub has resumed drilling, hav
ing succeeded In shutting off the
water.
A new rig was started Tuesday on
the Coalinga Pacific.
PROSPECTOR FINDS
GOLD NUGGETS IN
WINCHESTER HILLS
TOMBSTONE. March 24.—The Win- j
chester mountains, near Willcox, have j
turned out another jar of gold from
placet* deposits. Ed Drew, a well known
prospector, came Into Willcox one day
last week with some beautiful nuggets
discovered ln a bed of sand in the
mountains.
Gold in the Winchester mountains is
not a new discovery, though the latest
nuggets brought in are of fine size. One
or two small Jars have come from tho
same section In the past.
While there is no excitement over
Drew's gold find, much interest is felt
in Willcox. and it is said a number of
prospectors will soon bo scouring the
sand gullies in search of the precious
metal. ___t

Silverwood's Freak Hat
"The Owlette"—An Easter Novelty
Just why the Silverwood haberdashery has invaded woman's -/.one in
the millinery lino Is not so much to the point as the one gorgeous piece of
feminine Easter millinery that graces the show window of their Sixth
street store. A shape go large that the most imposing "Merry Widow
was _ toque beside it, gorgeously trimmed with American Beauties,
Shasta daisies and foliage; but the crowning grace well, it Is the limit
in all millinery decoration massive owl, that with spread pinions would
measure three feet from tip to tip. It is presumably a travesty on the
French "Chantecler" hat that has Just come in vogue. This "Owlette is
an exclusive model, and will grace the head of a shining light in the
Ferris Hartman chorus, as the result of ••- wager on Wednesday's ball
game.
