FLORENCE LEASE
HAS NEW STRIKE
The Seven Troughs Co. Resumes
Work with Prospects for
Fine Results
A new strike of rich gold ore In the
Florence lease on the Seven Trough!
Mining company's estate Is reported
from camp. The new ore body has
been encountered in a raise from tho
300-foot level in the gold vein, which
is oast of the ledge In which last year
was opened a largo shoot of ore In
which silver values predominate.
With the raise Just entering the
shoot two fret of quartz carrying free
gold was shown, and it Is believed to
be ' the geblnnlng of an ore body of
exceeding richness.
Ore has been opened in four places
In the Florence lease and the shoots
nre all strong. In the drift from a
-winze sunk from the 200-foot level In
tho south end of the lease rich silver
ore Is being stoped, while in the north
end the ore carries more gold than
silver. In drifts from the bottom of
the winze from the 300-foot level both
ends are In ore, while the strike in the
raise promises important new re
sources.
Operations In the Fairvlew upon
company account were resumed last
■week Work for the present will bo
confined to the 450-foot level, where a
good showing of ore was opened Just
before work was closed down last win
ter. It li expected that within sixty
days the heavier machinery will bo on
the ground, when active exploratory
and development work will be conduct
ed in the lower levels. It is likely that
a drift will be sent out to get under
the large ore bodies opened in the
Florence lease, when the mine should
be in form for largo production—

SANTA FE CAMPS
NOW TWO IN NUMBER
•Railroad Company Is Active in the
Kern County Oil
Field
- BAKERSFIELD, April 3a—ln the
early future, perhaps within sixty or
ninety days, the Santa Fe will move
the headquarters of. its west side oil
department from section 8, 32-23, near
Midland, to section 6 In the same town-
Bhlp, near Fellows). ■
The camp, already quite a pretentious
affair, wiH bo. enlarged and Improved
to keep pace with the rapidly Increas
ing importance of the Santa Fa's oil
activities. The .Santa Fe company is
investing heavy sums In the field.
Meantime the success of the Mays,
the St. Lawrence, the California Mid
way, the Pioneer Midway, La Belle, the
Eagle Creek and its own Rushers on
section 6, 32-25. and 25, 31-22, have
prompted the decision on the part of
the Santa Fc to leave the deep sands
se.tlon 8 undisturbed for the present
and get its share of the rich cream its
neighbors around Fellows are skim
ming. The Midway-Premier property
Is In section 6, on which much effective
work is shown, nigs and other de
velopment machinery are in place and
work Is progressing very satisfactorily.

Thomas Hughes, together with other
members of the board of .lirectors of

Since the striking of the deep sands
on the southeast quarter of section
34-12-24 by the- Boston-Pacific Oil
company, which lies one-half mile to
the northwost of the property of the
Midway View, It Is deemed almost
certain by oil men that the lower and
richer sands underlie the property of
the Midway View Oil company.

EXPECT NEW GUSHERS
AT SULPHUR MOUNTAIN
SANTA PAULA, April 30.—1t Is said
that the Wild Bill gunhor uf tho Union
Oil company on the south slope of Sul
phur mountain loads to the belief that
more gushers are not improbable in tho
Ventura field, especially if great depth
in reached. Tho Wild Bill was one of
the most, famous gushers ever produced
in California, and it shows that tho
Ventura iield contains vast deposits of
oil sand, and that the average produc
tion of the high-gravity wells in this
district is much below their possible
production. According to the United
States geological survey, unbroken
strata of oil sands lio beneath the
mountain where the Wild Bill came in.
The output of the Wild Bill before it
■was capped was 300,000 barrels of oil,
and tho oil ran fifteen miles to the sea.
After it was capped the well produced
200,000 more barrels of oil.

Praoticfti experience lias been invoked to

that such feminine headgear blockades the
rush of the public at railway stations and
other places, gives women the appearance
of huge animated umbrellas, disturbs the
acoustic properties of churches' and obstructs

paper. "Her brake Jammed whea she was
riding down Crosby street, 1 strep hill, and
the. machine dashed along at a great pace.
Swerving Into "Wood Btreet, it ran into tho

smashed the bottles displayed In the window
and the girl was severely cut about the face
and neck. But for the fa. l that she wal

It is now wagored hy mere men that, in the

BEQUEATHS $10 TO SON;
$5000 FOR TOMBSTONE
Connecticut Man Leaves a Will
That Shocks Dutiful Youth
POTTII XnnWALK. Conn., April SO—John
G. Hoffman, the eccentric local resident who
had a singular and true presentiment of death
a few months ago, at which time he cleaned
up his home, called In his neighbors and
then calmly died in a chair, left a will in
which to his son and only heir he bequeathed
the sum of $10, while the remainder of his
estate, amounting to $500fl, ha asked to be ex
pended In a monument on his grave.
As tho son, William H. Hoffman, lived in
harmony with his father, the division of the
estate In this manner was most unexpected.
The son began an action in court today to
h;ivA the will set aside.
Mr. Hoffman had always been sound of
■6nse and close of purse, living In an outhouse,
while ho rent»d his fine residence in Wilton
avenue. He spent two weekH in preparation
for death after having what he called a
"vision." The coroner said death was due to
apoplexy.
HEAVES HEAVY INK WELL
AT DEFENSE'S ATTORNEYS
MiI.AX, April SO.— During the trial for the
murdQf of Count Vitl at the Bari assize court
a disgraceful scene was Witnessed, There are
nearly 4«0 witness, s, and evidence was given
to the effect that tho murdered nobleman had
been carrj Ing on an intrigue with a married
woman living near his estate. There is every
reason to suppose that his death wan an act
of family vengeanco perpetrated hy hired as
sassins other than tha actual prisoners.
This revelation produced something like
l>and"monlum In court. One of the advocates
for the defense, Kleiner £orgcnte, in a fit oC
anger seized a big ink pot and dung it with
great force against a group of lawyers rep
resenting Count Vlti's relatives. This became
the signal for a general free fight among the
lawyers, In which the prisoners took part, in
the absence of the carablnleri, who were
engaged In clearing the court.
As a sequel to this incident numerous duels
aro exj-ected to tako place.

'MORNING AFTER' YOU ARE
SICK, DONT YOU KNOW IT?
German Doctor Makes Discovery
Regarding Headaches
BERLIN, Ai.rll 30.-TO drink alcoholic bev
erages to the extent that you feel the effects
the day after, you arc a sick man, says Dr.
Delbrick, a prominent German physician. He
Insists that Ills theory is based on facts and
investigations made In the course of many
years' study of the subject of alcoholism.
Drink, according to him, Is a disease. II"
urges a movement against drink on the same
lines pursued In the white, plague campaign.
He would have exhibitions In cities to show
tho effects of this alcoholic disease, and would
employ, lecturers to tell how tho disease may
bo cured or prevented.
Dr. Delbrlck believes that enough pictures
can be taken to tell the story eloquently. The
amount of liquor consumed in Germany, ac
cording to him, is entirely too large in pro
portion to the population.
He believes In taking a, drink now and then,
hut no more. Ho urges the government to
tahe up the problem of the cure of this dis
ease, which ha says is spreading like an epi
demic all over Germany and supping Its vi
tality. One of his first activities against
the drink evil will be the issuing of a Journal
In German, French and Kngllsh.
VASSAR PEEVED BECAUSE
SEAL SAYS 'ALWAYS FRESH'
Biscuit Company Stirs Up a Row
with Brand on Its Chocolates
KANSAS CITT, April 30.— Vassar college
seriously objects to any ■ suggestion that
Its students are "always frwh" "r that
they wear mortar boards. Allegations to
this effect are set forth in a suit filed In
the United States court here this afternoon,
which seeks to restrain the Loose-Wiles
Biscuit company from using the word
"Vassar" on a certain brand of chocolates.
The petition recites that Vassar objects
to the Imitation seal and the picture of
a supposed college girl which forms the
centerpiece of the seal.
The picture is of a young woman In
srholastic garb with a mortar board. The
official corporate seal of the college has
been imitated on the advertisement placed
on the candy boxes. On the face of the
seal Is represented a woman with a book
and a sprig of myrtle. In the background
on the hill is a Greek temple. Over all.
at the top, on the rim, near the edge,
are the words, "Vassar chocolates." At
the bottom, under the female figure, whore.
on the official seal, "Purity and Wisdom,"
should be,: the defendants have placed the
words. "Always fresh." Quoting from the
complaint: "The words, always fresh.'
seem on the fictitious seal to be applicable
to the female figure above It, and Is a
matter of ridicule and reproach."
