OIL PROSPECTING IN
SUN DIEGO PROGRESSES
County Eagerly Awaits Testing of
1 Land Where Indications
Are Thought Favorable
Prospecting for oil In Ban Diego county
is becoming more popular as the summer
months advance and the people are getting
their expectations up as the more Important
wildcat ventures Increase the depth of their
wells. It is said they are awaiting with
abated breath the announcement that "oil
has been discovered In paying quantities In
Sin Diego county. This announcement, as
tne people realize, will, if It is actually and
authentically made, mean more to the country
than any other commercial triumph.
At the Beaver Oil company's camp, in the
Bower district, all Is activity, says a Pan
Diego exchange. The well Is steadily going
down, and one length of casing after another
Is Icing installed aa the heavy drill works its
way toward the much desired product. Al
though drilling operations were started at
this camp only two weeks ago. the well is
already down to a depth of about 160 feet.
For a time the operators were boring twenty
feet a day
The Beaver Oil company, being composed
largely of British Columbia people, has one of
the finest outfits in the state, and It Is
expected It will beat all records in sinking
an oil well in this vicinity. The drill Is run
ning day and night.
ntOGKESS AT OTAY
In the Otay field the work is progressing
more satisfactorily than the drillers antici
pated. Night and day shifts are now sending
the drill down below the 900-foot level with
the Intention of going double that depth be
fore looking for oil. The drill has passed
through a large deposit of shells and Is now
pounding away In a stratum of blue shale,
which, from past experiences in well drilling,
Is believed to cover a bed of oil sand. Though
this sand may not be heavily Impregnated
with oil, those actively engaged in the
drilling will be satisfied In finding a very
little.
Several days ago a complete new drilling
outfit was Been going south of San Diego,
evidently bound for the Otay district. It was
rumored that the outfit is intended to sink
the proposed Ellis well on the Guatelli land
lying east of the Otay company's holdings.
The conditions north of San Diego, in the
dlstrlot of Encinltas, Del Mar and La Costa,
are reporter as becoming more and more in
teresting. The Panama-American well Is said
to be down more than 1000 feet, with the
drill In operation night and day.
Among the new corporations that have or
ganized Is the Encinltas Oil company, com
posed largely of San Diego business men. It
was incorporated last week and is said to
be preparing to enter the field in an active
The Elljo Oil company is also getting things
in shape to begin drilling on Its holdings
near Encinltas. This company is composed of
Ban Diego people and Encinltas ranchers.
The directors of the San Diego Crude Oil
company, which has land at both Encinltas
and Otay. have decided to order a standard
oil drilling outfit at once and be prepared to
begin active operations. The company has not
yet decided in which field It will erect ■ its
first derrick, but the directors are confident
that they will have a drill In operation in both
districts before very long.

RAILROAD BUILDERS
CUT QUARTZ LEDGES
New Line Through Placer County
Will Traverse Rich
Right of Way
AUBURN, Placer County, June 19.—
Utah Construction company, which has the
contract for the building of the Southern Pa
cific cutoff in Placer county, has cut through
a number of Quartz ledges which show good
values in gold. As some of the ledges have
been cut to a depth of several feet there Is
no chance taken In the working of them, as
the values show plainly. So the great railroad
building company, In addition to its work of
building a railroad, has also opened up sev
eral quartz ledges, not as a matter of choice
or business, but as a necessity to obtain the
grades given by the surveyors
This fact has evidently reached the nttcntlnn
of mining men. for a firm called the London
and Placer County Development company Ins
been organized and Incorporated under the
laws of the state of California for the pur
pose of developing and working the ledges cut
through In the construction work of building
the cutoff. . m _
The capital stock of $100,000 In shares of »j
each has been almost subscribed to by well
known English capitalists operating in Texas,
Mexico, Alaska and South Africa. Dr. J. C.
Hawyer and W. A. Shepord, both of Auburn,
are directors and W. J. Prewett is attorney
lor the company.
The London and Placer County Development
company has purchased the property formerly
owned by Mrs. Gertrude Dlx Nlcol, near Wei
mar in this county, and the first payment of
$25,000 has been made. Balance will be paid
as the property Is developed.
GOLD MOUNTAIN MILL
RESUMPTION INDICATES
DESERT MINING BOOM
The big 40-stamp mill at the Gold Mountain
mine at Doble Is running full blast and day
and night the ore Is being poured Into the
plant to be ground up, according to advices
from San Bernardino. The revival of activity
at the Gold Mountain mine marks a big step
in the general revival of operations of the
mining Industry of that county.
It is also rumored that operations at the
r.ose mine are to start and at several other
mines on the desert the owners are preparing
to begin work. The building of the Parker-
Bengal cutoff, through a rich mining district,
has caused contemplated general activity
among the properties tapped by that line.
There are vague rumors of a rich strike ln the
Turtle mountains, and among mining men it
Is stated that the company owning the prop
erty on which the reported strike was made is
carefully guarding any definite knowledge
which they have.
W. W. McCoy has recently returned from a
prospecting trip, during which he touched at
Doble, where the Gold Mountain had Just
started work. The night before be arrived the
boarding camp had been reduced to ashes and
practically all the provisions lost. Supplies
are being hauled from Vlctorvllle.
The Gold Mountain mine occupies a prom
inent place in the history of the mining In
dustry of the country. It was first discovered
by Barney Carter. Subsequently "Lucky"
Baldwin took the property over and It/later
fell into the ownership of De I.a Mar. Two
mills have been burned, and the present 40
--stamp plant has been standing for a number
of years.
LOCAL MEN INVEST
MONTEREY, Mexico, June 29.—Los Angeles

nando mines In the municipality of Juarez,
State of Durango, not a great distance from
the Slnaloa boundary, for 80,000 pesos.

are dealing with New York Interests, since
the abandonment of the mines by the Calumet
and Hecla people several engineers have re
ported favorably on their possibilities.
DEAL IN DEATH VALLEY
BISHOP, June 20.— A deal Is under way for

KENNETT SMELTER MAY
TREAT BULLY HILL ORE
Question of Price and Restriction
of Forest Bureau Trouble
Northern Mine
KENNETT. (Shasta Co.), June 29.—
mess men and others of Kennett are great
ly Interested In the negotiations going on
between the Mammoth Copper company '
and the Bully Hill company, operating a| I
mine and smelter at Winthrop. That the
Bully Hill smelter will shut down on July
1 is a foregone conclusion. Kennett busi
ness men hopo to see the Bully Hill ore
come to the Mammoth smelter for treat
ment, but that is by no means certain.
Neither company takes the public Into
Its confidence, though the people of both
towns are greatly interested in the outcome.
The Mammoth is quite willing to treat
the Bully Hill ore if it can get Its price.
The Bully Hill Is quite willing to ship Its
ore to Kennett if It can get It treated at
Its price. It is seml-offlcially stated that
there Is a wide difference between the
prices, and there Is no expectation of an
agreement being reached.
On July 1 the Mammoth Copper com
pany's baghouse will be completed and In
operation. On the same date the Cottrell
process plant at the Coram smelter will
be in operation, if all goes well.
It is now stated that the Bully Hill
smelter will shut down on July 1 in obe
dience to the demands of the forest bu
reau, and the shutdown will be only tem
porary, long enough for the Bully Hill peo
ple to decide which is the better process
of handling smelter smoke, the baghouse
or the Cottrell system. Decision having
been made, the Bully Hill company will
build a stnoko-consumlng plant of Its own.
This will not be so. expensive as Is the
case at Coram and Kennett, for the Bully
Hill smelter has only one furnace, to Cor
am's three and Kennett's five.
The difference between the cost of smelt
ing ore at Winthrop and the Mammoth
charge for smelting the same ore at Ken
nett, freight included, would amount to |
enough in less than a year to build a bag- I
house at the Bully Hill smelter.
BUYS JUBILEE GKANT
