Diablo oil company alons with other well known Midway proper ties, Is one of the most active companies In that Held. The, company is running ten strings of tools in addition to earing for the production of about thirty wells. Dur ing the past week two new wells were finished up and another well is nearlng the finishing stage. The company is confining Its principal development ■work to section 22. '*^.""> l ■ 'The North American Oil Consolidated ■was formed to take the place of the Hartford Oil company that previously had large holdings in the. Midway. The deal for the lit. Diablo property greatly extended the company's holdings, which at. present are as follows: Three-quar ter* of section 16. 32-23, 220 acres In section 22, 32-23; three-quarters of section 27 and the. southeast quarter of section 34, 32-23, and 180 acres In section 26, 32-23. including the. old Mt. Diablo property. ': # : > • The company has extensive plans for development work and Its different properties -will be the scone of much activity for some time to come. The territory now being drilled insures a quick and largo production, as most of the wells are finished at less than 1500 feet and have from 100 to 350 feet of live oil sand, the production running from 100 to 250 barrels a, day. Superin tendent Kurtz, who was in charge of the Premier property at Oalinga for a length of time, is directing the drilling of the new company. r JANUARY ENTERS SAND IN MT.

Tho lectures will be Illustrated by stereop ticon slides, and specimens of the ores and geologic formations of the district will be on display. This lecture is timely, in view of the recent disposal of tho Iron Chief mine, and adjacent claims In Riverside county, and tho possibility of conditions similar to thos<> existing in the Luke Superior region being developed in Southern California, proving of immense commercial ad vantage to Los Angeles. Professor Reinholt was connected with the Lake Superior iron mines, now owned by the United States Steel corporation, for a number of years; whs also assistant superintendent of the famous Fcnohscot mine, and also rendered valuable aid to the state geo logical survey of Minnesota In prepar ing the official map of the Mesabe range In 1R99.

The mineral cabinets forming a part of this exhibit contain specimens of ore and minerals from California. Ne vada, Arizona and Mexico. In addition there arc exhibited a few selections from the mining and scientific library established and maintained by the chamber, also a number of panoramic photographs of mining districts in Arizona and Nevada, and two excep tionally fine views of the bakeview gusher. The oil exhibit comprises specimens Of Mphaltum. of the several grades, also the fuel oils and distillates. NORTH STAR SPECIMENS The chamber of mines and oil has just received, through the courtesy of the. Nevada county promotion commit tee a complete exhibit of the ores from the famous producers of that county. The exhibit includes s^clmens from the Empire mine, the oldest quartz mine- in California; also a group of specimens from the North Star mine, which was located In 1851 and has been worked almost continuously since that time. In the exhibit from the North Star there are wall rocks and ore from The depth of the shaft on the pitch of the vein is now 5400 feet, and the approximate production of the mine to 1910 was J27.000.000. This exhibit will probably be labeled and placed on dis play early next week, and will prove a notable addition to the ore exhibit of the chamber.

' E. H. AUJSOK, »n Original Teleconl Man. v>vn_i \j j What Is Teleconi Treatment? This question has been asked by scores of persons since the coming of the Teleconi Company to the Rosslyn Hotel, Los Angeles, Cal where they have quiet but harmonious quarters, and dozens of letters have been received from various parts of the western Empire from persons who want to know more about this rightly termed Science of Teleconi, the drugless treatment in healing the sick. Teleconi is a new word. It was coined after successfully working out the theory of health vibrations. The word is get ting in harmony with the vibratory force. . , ,;_,l #, __ Teleconi occupies the same position to the physical being in the matter of health vibrations as the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy does to the delicately adjusted instruments at the sending and receiving stations—both must be in true and in absolute harmony. Founded Upon Scientific Basis There is a great deal more to it than that, of course. It is founded upon a scientific basis and in the treatment of the unseen forces of nature, which, learned men declare, are. the strongest in the universe, are em ployed to their fullest extent. . Materialists deny all these things. They argue it cannot be true be cause they cannot see the forces, hut their denials do not carry much weight in the face of the fact that electricity, a trem»nrfous force, cannot be seen. What is gravity ? Has anyone ever seen it or grasped it with his physical senses? It is there, everywhere. It is that irresistible force which "holds us to earth day and nU?ht. Scientists say that were it not for gravity ballooning would cease to be a fashionable and expensive sport. What is life? Wo can see a living being, but who, except the Author of all things, has ever seen life? Whence does it come and whither does PHYSICIANS SAID MRS. GRAHAM HAD "FLOATING KIDNEY" Vowed She Would Escape the Kalfe and Came to Tele coai Operator! DIAGNOSIS WAS WRONG Was Suffering with Nerve, Stomach and Liver Trouble —Tele- coni Curei Her Another case wherein Teleenni has done wonders is that of Mrs. Irticy Graham, wife of the t'nion Pacific agent at Da cona, Colo. Mrs. Graham was told by phyeiclans that she had a "floating kid ney" and she was urged to have an oper ation. The real* trouble constated of a number of ailments all closely related. Her nerves were out of order, her stom ach frequently bloated and, as a result of this, she suffered from palpitation .of. the heart. Her liver was also deranged. Mrs. Graham was determined to escape the knife. She vowed she would die before she'd submit to an operation. Reading of the excellent resulu Teleconi was attain ing in cases similar to hers, sho investi gated and found the. stories true. She then applied at the Savoy hotel offices for treatment and is today practically a well woman. Her circulation, which seemed to be con siderably impaired, is now normal, and her heart is much better. Mrs. Graham also posse»ses more strength and- is again fetllng that she has something to livo (or Her eye Is ngaln bright, her com plexion clear and h<r heart light. A» to h«i ailments— they havo practically disap peared. People who have known of her case often wonder just what part ot her anatomy she would have lost had phe. bt«a put under the. knifo for that so tailed ■'floating kidney." Teleconi Cured Both J. D. Crull of St. Louis. Mo., an en gineer. Buffered from stomach trouble and for weeks was unable to take out a. train He went to Alamoaa. Colo., to visit an aunt.

Other Cures P. R. Gordon of Holcnshnrmifrh. Scot land, traveled 5000 miles to take the Tele coni treatment at the Savoy hotel for a. disordered stomach and bowels. He read of the Teleconi cures In the Denver Post. The treatment relieved him of all fore ness in the stomach anrl Inteitlnee ami maiie It possible for him to eat heartily. He counts himself a well man. L. D. OTtnn of Tierthoud. Colo., wore a tru*p and steel brace when he went to the Savoy hotel to be treated by the Teleronl operators for a crippled back. He fount, relief Immediately and was put on th» highway to health. He threw aivay his brace. W. L. Murray of Ault, Colo., was sick with stomach trouble for eighteen years. Then ha tried the Teleconi treatment at the Savoy hotel, Denver. lie now eats three big meal* a. day and haa been brought to health from the verge of ner vous prostration. Surgeons operated on John Walker, a miner near l^adville. to relieve n pre» sure on the brain which, they Paid, was causing paralysis in hla right ifR. The pressure was removed, but the leg was still paralyzed. He came, to Denver, en rolled us a Teleconi patlrnt. When he reached the Savoy hotel he could not bend his knee or ankle. Now he walks as freely as he ever did. Neuralgia of the encruciatinK variety called tic doloreaux. and chronic eorebru splnal menlngltlH had kept Mr». H. Haalr ton of St. Louis In hospitals for months every year for fix years. Last summer she came to Denver on the advice of her physicians and took Teleconi treatments and now is entirely relieved ot her pain.

Science of Health Vibration Teleconi la the master science of vibration, by the employment of which wonderful results have been accomplished in the I-.ast and through out the Middle West during tl%r past IS years. Even the originator of the treatment dow not know its full possibilities, but has worked tor years on the theory of health vibrations and to understand its ,opponent Partaand its effects upon the physical system. But as to what It Is he is as n h. at sea as was the foremost electrical expert when a scnoolnoy asked him, •■What is electricity?" A fall from an Inlerurban car at Fort Lupton two years ago left J.. D. Orion of Herlhoud apparently a cripple for life and a nervous wreck. After he had tried all the doctors he could afford he came, to Denver and tried Teleconl. After the first treatment he threw away the steel brace the doctors had bound on him, and In a few werks was almost as well as betore his accident. Alfred Peterson, a rich puEar beet far mer of Berthoud, suffered many years with rheumatism before he found the one treat ment that would cure him. After three weeks of Teleoonl treatments he walked without pain and without a. limp, slept like a baby and enjoyed life more than he had been able to do for many a year. Massage, drugs, osteopaths, baths, doc tort—everything he oould think of—John Peherdy of Hartford. Conn., tried for his rheumatism, yet it tortured him for years until, happening m *m« to Denver, he heard of Teleconl and tried that. In two weeks It did more for him than all the medicine lie ever took, and in a month he was entirely cured. The doctors tried to put Alfred Sleele Into a plaster east for three months a* an experiment with his rheumatism, but he is publisher of the Svenska-American ska the Swedish newspaper of Denver, and could nol afford the time, .lust then he heard of the cures wrought by Tele conl and began taking the treatment. In ■ fen weeks he was entirely cured, and now. six months later, he has no trace of rheumatism. Rheumatism In her joints made it im possible for Mrs. A. L. Kaln of Frank town, Colo., to co up or down stairs. She suffered for four years, when she heard of Teleconl and began taking treatments. After almut three weeks the elevator at the Savoy stopped one day and Mrs. Kain walked UP four flights of stairs to take her treatment. -That shows whether it is curing me," she said.
