From Mines and Oil Fields
ELECTRIC MOTORS NOW
OPERATE WELL DRILLS
British Consolidated Installs the
First Variable Machine in
Coalinga with Success
COALINGA, July 27.—The British
Consolidated Oil corporation, limited,
is the first concern operating In the
Coalinga field to install one of the new
variable speed electric motors. The
new appliance was installed only after
a thorough investigation of its advan
tages over the usual steam and gas
engine.
For the past three months the vari
able speed oil well motors have been
on exhibition In the Sherman fields
near Los Angeles, installed by the
Westlnghouse and General Electric
people. In these southern fields the
new appliance has proved more satis
factory in the operating of every
branch of the oil industry. It was In
this locality that General Manager
Wisner of the British Consolidated first
■witnessed the use of the motor, and it
■was only after a careful study on that
point that it was decided to install one
In the place of steam power on one of
the company's properties.
Since Monday morning the motor has
been giving perfect satisfaction on
well No. 7 of the P. M. D. & O. prop
erty of the British Consolidated, and
the operators and Superintendent God
frey of the local field are more than
pleased.
Godfrey says the motor was th« only
thing for the work. It caused less
trouble In starting and stopping, and
the test that had been made on its
various speeds resulted beyond his ex
pectations. The motor Is proving itself
especially adapted to the pumping of
wells, as the loss of time by the break
ing of sucker rods —due to the uneven
power of the steam engine under the
load of the walking beam—will be less
ened considerably over half. Godfrey
further stated that in less than twenty
days orders will be placed for motors
for the other eight pumping wells of
the property.
The greatest expense outside of the
property at the present time is that of
keeping up the boiler plant which sup
plies steam for the various engines.
The cost of repairs alone on a plan of
this size runs up into the hundreds of
dollars each month, besides the cost of
fuel, wages and lubricating goods.
This is all done away with by the
installing of the little 26-horsepower
motors that need no watching and are
practically unlimited as to the time
they will run, while the average life of
a boiler is five years. The motor on
No. 7 is now using from five to eight
horsepower at a very little expense of
operation.
SHU'S $50,000 WORTH
The first shipment of the $50,000 or
der of variable speed oil well motors
contracted for by the Westinghouse
company, and an additional consign
ment of the General Electric company,
will arrive in the Coalinga Held within
the next ten days. The motors are be
ing installed by the Coalinga Wtaer
and Electric company, which has sev
eral orders already to place. Many of
the future users of the motor have vis
ited the P. M. D. & O. and are well
pleased with the demonstrations. Tests
will be made on the K. T. & O. and the
Associated properties as soon as the
Shipments arrive, and other large com
panies are greatly Interested in the
outcome of these tests.
During the past three wetjts the
Coalinga fields have been visited by a
number of the Westinghouse and the
General Klectric companies' prominent
eastern engineers, who have made thor
ough investigations of the conditions
here. It is the belief that the new
motor will revolutionize the drilling
power of the oil fields of the San Joa
quin valley and other California fields
as it will lessen the expense of sink
ing a well and operating it after It has
been brought in, to a great extent.
The initiation of the use of these mo
tors in the fields is considered the more
significant from the fact that power
lines are just now being extended into
nil the oil field* of this valley by the
San Joaciuin Light and Power company
und other allied,and subsidiary corppa
nies in this section. Tin- Coalinga Beld
has already been placed in touch with
power plants in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, a hundred miles away
across the valley, and the Midway and
Sunset fields are soon to have connec
tions with the same general system
thoroughly distributed through them.
The spread of power facilities put the
motor in easy reach of operators in the
leading centers of oil production in the
San Joaquin valley.
ORE CONDITION CHANGES
IN THE GRAND MOUNTAIN
PRESCOTT, July 27.— F. 1.. Dwlght,
general manager of the Grand Moun
tain Mining cfnii. any. near McCabe,
■aya that on the 100-foot level of his
property the rnlnerologieai condition
bad changed, and a grade of a pp i
hearing- ore cut into that samples near
ly five and one-half per cent. The
gold and silver values are still in ex
istence and show no decrease from
former assay*.
Shipments are being made to the
smelter at Needles. In a few days
a car load of the ore from the late
discovery will be shipped to make
definite determinations of the ship
ments to follow, The discovery of
the copper bearing ore in that dis
trict has occasioned conilderable com
ment, from the fact thai In all the
years of operating, :>n.i especially on
the old Silver Belt mine, the white
metal was the principal output.

NOVEL PLACER DEVICE
SOON TO BE INSTALLED
Company on Milk Creek Ships a
Machine from Kirkland.
Gravel Goes $1 Yard
PRESCOTT, July 27.—Within the
next few weeks one of the most novel
placer mining projects from a mechan
ical standpoint, will be under way on
Milk Creek, which empties into the
Hassayampa at Walnut Grove, it is
a device that Is shown as a wet wash
ing process and a vast amount of ma
chinery is employed to handle the
gravel.
Tills plant is portable and can be
transported easily by means of Its
own power. All the equipment has
been shipped from Klrkland, and me
chanics are engaged in placing it,
under the direction of Mr. Kimball,
the inventor, who arrived recently
from the east. The ground is owned
by Morris & Quick.
The property Is located about one
and one-half miles from the home of
A. A. Moore, and before deciding on
the introduction of the machinery,
tests of the soil gave values ranging
from 50 cents to $1 a yard. Water is
abundant and in past years the output
by rocker and sluicing was remuner
ative. The capacity of the plant is
said to be about twenty tons a day.
pome idea of the substantial character
of the machinery may be formed by
■ mentioning the weight of the trucks
t that will support this machine, which
required sixteen horses to haul it from
: Kirkland to Milk Creek.
NEW QUIJOTOA DISTRICT
DRAWS PLACER MINERS
TUCSON, July 27.—Reports are that
the Quijotoa district, about 70 miles
south of Tucson, is attracting atten
tion from placer experts, and many
claims have been staked recently. Ow
ing to the mineral being difficult to
separate from the conglomerate for
mation, however, little work has been
done recently. Negotiations are paid to
be well under way for the Installation
of Quinner machines on the ground as
soon as the machines can be built. In
former days the Quijotoa was consid
ered a good producer of gold.
Mining men in Tucson have also been
apprised that the I.lano district, 125
kilometers south of the Altar placer
fields, is being extensively visited, and
8 large ncre'iere has been denounced.
Part of the Llano district is traversed
by the Southern Pacific of Mexico, thus
providing near means of transporta
tion.
The Altar district proper Is said to
be now rft its zenith, and hundreds
of prospectors are flocking there in
the hope of locating desirable claims.
MIDWAY DEVELOPMENTS
TAFT, July 27.—The Ruby Oil com

1000 in its first -well, with the work
progressing.
The Amber Oil company, operating
on section 26-81-22, is pulling tubing
in its first well in which oil was en
countered in the sand and is going
after second sand. The well was on

Neal Institutes
Are Proving
A Success
State Senator Bruce
Tells How the Neal In
stitutes Are Branch
ing Out Over the
Country
Of all the different companies and
corporations that have been organ
ized in lowa in the last five years,
there Is no company that has made
the progress which the Noal Institute
has made. On December 6, 1906, the
first Neal Institute company wap or
ganized with a capital stock of
$1,000,000. Dr. B. E. Neal waa made
president, E. B. Stiles, secretary, and
State Senator James E. Bruce, treas
urer. The first institute opened was
established in Dcs Moines, lowa, at
the Hurbach residence at the corner
of Fifth and Center streets. During
the first six months this institute
treated and cured exactly 248 cases.
Patients come from as far as Now
York city, Boston, Chkugo, St. Louis
and many other cities, but mostly
from the immediate territory of lowa
and vicinity.
So far the treatment and cure has
been indorsed by 400 cured patients,
their families, relatives and friends,
and liy many of the most prominent
and leading professional and business
: men tit' luu a and Nebraska, as shown
| by its advertising. In fact, it has been
indorsed by every man who has in
vestigated and found out what the
Neal cure is or the results of same.
The strongest indorsement of the cure
I is, however, the fact that Senator
j Bruce, who is regarded as a careful,
: shrewd and conservative banker and
' business man, has authorized all insti
tutes to give a guaranteed bond and
contract which, in substance, provides
that every dollar paid to any Neal In
stitute will be refunded if at the end
of three days" treatment the results
are not entirely satisfactory to the pa
tient, his family physician or any rela
tive or friend who may be with him.
The strongest possible indorsement
| that any company can have is the
wonderfully rupid territorial expan
! slon that the Neal Institute has hail in
! the last six months. Practically the
entire territory of the United States
i has been disposed of to men of high
character and ability, backed by am
| pie means, and institutes have been
opened and in operation at the follow
| ing points: New York city, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Superior,
Wts.: Springfield and St. Louis, Mo.;
Topeka, Kas.; Omaha, Neb.; Indian
apolis, Ind.; Dcs Moines, Sioux
| City and Davenport, la.; Sioux Falls,
,S. D.; Fargo, N. D.; Denver, Colo.;
: Albuquerque, N. M.; San Francisco,
, Cal., and Los Angeles, Cal., with insti
; tutes being established that will be
opened in a short time at Portland,
j Ore.; Seattle and Spokane, Wash.; Ft.
1 Worth and Galveston, Texas; New Or
leans, Memp! is, Term.; Atlanta, Ga.;
Columbus and Cleveland, O.; Detroit,
j Mich.; Chicago and Springfield, III.;
i Kansas City, Mo.; Pittsburgh and Phil
-1 adelphia, Pa.; Baltimore, Md., and Bos
| ton, Mass.
1 Every one of the institutes in opera
! tlon are backed by strong men and
are in fine buildings and all have done
a splendid business from the start.
Dr. Benjamin E. Neal Is the originator
and the discoverer of the Neal Three
Day Drink Habit Cure and has de
] voted 'over ten years of his life In the
! preparation of the Neal Cure. Sena
tor James E. Bru"e, the treasurer, was
born in lowa and lived in lowa all his
life and is a prominent lawyer, banker
and state senator. He has taken a
deep interest in men addicted to the
liquor habit and at different times has
| sent men at his own expense to take
! drink habit cures. When he first
beard of the three day drink habit
cure he at once investigated the same,
which resulted In his agreement to
finance with all necessary funds and
devote part of his time to the promot
ing and extension of the Neal Cure.
The recent opening of the Los An
j gelos branch Is another of the great
successes. The enthusiasm with
which the Neal Institute has been re
ceived has made the present beauti
ful large home inadequate for those
desiring treatment. It Is now neces
sary to make appointments in ad
van< c.
