CHICAGO PEOPLE WORK
IN PAYMASTER CANYON
Extensive Development of Nevada
Property Leads to Favor
able Indications
GOLDFIELD, Sept. I.—The Chicago-
Goldfield company, under the manage
ment of E. J. Hoover, Is developing
■what they believe to be a promising
piece of mining property located In
Paymaster canyon, that gives Indica
tions of becoming a mine, the principal
values being gold and copper. About
450 feet of development has been done
on the big dike of limestone spar that
cuts through the country rock between
limestone and shale, and which Is Im
pregnated with mineral across almost
its entire width.
The upper tunnel has been driven
about 150 feet along the strike of the
vein system, and has also exposed a
cross-fissure that carries considerable
gold and copper. It Is planned to drift
on the cross-vein to the intersection of
the main vein, where a strong body of
ore may reasonably be expected. This
cross-vein shows about a foot of good
ore, besides a low grade mineralization
across several feet, and when the junc
tion of the two fissures is encountered
a commercial body of ore Is anticipated.
The lower tunnel has been driven
to get greater depth on the ore that
Is exposed in the upper level, but has
not yet reached the objective point.
It will probably take 100 feet further
to enter the mineralized zone. When
the values are proved up here, an
other tunnel can be driven from tip
■western slope of the hill and open the
rein to a depth of several hundred
feet, the tunnel gaining almost foot
for foot, as the mountain is so pre
cipitous.
Surface indications across the entire
width of the spar dike are very encour
aging, values in copper and gold being
found along every fracture of the for
mation. Large chunks of vein matter
that assay well in gold and copper can
be dug up from the surface, and cop
per stains are prevalent across a wide
area.
A substantial camp that includes sev
eral tent houses has been established
at a convenient location, and develop
ment work is to bo carried on energet
ically to prove the ore on the two levels
that have already been driven into the
mineralized zone. While no shipping
proposition has yet been developed, the
expanse of values on the surface give
good reason to expect that an exten
sive deposit of copper and gold ore will
be found within the territory that is
now being penetrated. The company Is
financed by Chicago capitalists, and is
on a strong footing, It is said.
REORGANIZATION OF
DAISY IS PROBABLE
Promoters at New York Consider
Proposal to Transfer Stock
of Goldfield Company
GOLDFIELD, Sept. I.—An effort is
being made by W. M. Hoagland and
A. J. Seligman of New York to reor
ganize Goldfleld Daisy company, the
property of which was purchased last
April by the Goldfleld American Min
ing company, under a sheriff's sale, on
a Judgment for moneys advanced
amounting to $5800, plus costs and in
terests The time allowed for redemp
tion of the property expires in Octo
ber. It has been deemed advisable by
several of the large stockholders of the
Daisy Mining syndicate not to allow
the company to go by default, as the
outlook for making a valuable prop
erty is still good.
In addition to the claims of the Am
erican company, the former officers of
the Daisy company advanced It money
from time to time, and the company is
still indebted to them for $25,000, for
■which amount they have agreed to ac
cept treasury stock in the new com
pany. The proposed reorganization is
to be on a basis of 1,000,000 shares, with
250,000 in the treasury, 100,000 of which
Is to be given the old officers of the
company in settlement of the indebt
edness to them.
The remainder of the stock is to be
exchanged for Goldfield Daisy Mining
syndicate stock on a basis of one share
of new stock for two shares of old
Btock. Each stockholder will be asked
for a voluntary assessment of one cent
a share, which will leave a small
amount in the treasury of the company
for working capital, after paying the
claims of the American Mining com
pany. The transfer office of the Gold
field American Mining company to
•which old stock is to be sent for trans
fer on the reorganization proposition,
is at 25 Broadway, where communica
tions will be received by W. M. Hoag
land.
TIGHT WAD SHOOTS OIL
OVER TOP OF DERRICK
BAKERSFIKLD. Sept. I.—While be
ing cleaned out the No. 1 well of the
Tight Wad Oil company, section 25,
82-"3 in the Midway, started in to
How and for a number of hours spout
ed much oil, which at times was be
ing sent over tho top of the derrick
for brief periods.
It sanded up finally and the men are
at work today breaking through the
bridge and again cleaning it out. Tho
property is located in a portion of Jb
Hill where there seems to be an un
usual gas pressure. When No 1 well
was drilled the tools went in o a
pocket which blew them out of the
hole, and, igniting before the crew
could extinguish the fire, produced an
explosion and blaze which completely
destroyed the rig.

The Patricia Oil company, section

to directors of the company the well
is flowing at the r:ite of 300 barrels a

the directors found it still going at
this rate.
The well was but recently drilled,
and like a number of other wells In
the locality has shown a startling
burst of .-speed
These wells, however, do not hold up
long and this rate of production usual
ly falls off to the average of BO to 60
barrels.

LOS ANGET.ES HERALD: FIUDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1910.
WILSON BELIEVES OIL
MEN NEED LEGISLATION
President of Chamber of Mines
Looks on Situation from
Legal Standpoint
Cal vert Wilson, president; H. B.
Guthrey, chairman, of the petroleum
committee, and G. M. Swindell, secre
tary of the chamber of mines and oil,
who have beon appointed special rep
resentatives of the chamber to attend
the oil men's meeting at Bukersfleld
Sunday next, will leave Los Angeles
Saturday night in accordance with the
Instructions issued to them by the di
rectors of the chamber.
Mr. Wilson in discussing the several
meetings of oil men being held
throughout the state said yesterday:
"I am not an oil producer and my
legal practice is largely confined to
mining law. I can't help but view this
entire matter from its legal aspects.
It seems to me that most of the meet
ings held to date have been premised
upon the fact that the oil men need
organization. Frankly I am Inclined
to believe that there are already suf
ficient organizations in the state all
vitally Interested in the welfare of the
oil industry, to handle the legal aspect
of this matter for the oil men. There
is strength in numbers, and if every
commercial and civic organization in
the state could be 'lined up' in the
fight for needed legislation or regula
tions, which is the primary reason for
the meetings now being held, the oil
men could profit very materially
thereby. In other words, it is not or
ganization, neither is It conservation
that the oil industry needs, but rather
legislation which'will provide an equit
able method for the appropriation of
government lands, with reasonable rul
ings from the Interior department,
under which such lands can be ex
plored and developed."
The delegates appointed to represent
the chamber at next Sunday's meeting
at Bakersfleld have been Instructed to
offer the oil men of California the use
of the chamber, a well established civic
organization, with a competent law
committee, capable of preparing for
submission to eonsross whatever leg
islation may be needed; and if neces
sary to represent thorn in securing
reasonable rulings from the general
land office and tho interior department.
CLOSES MIDWAY DEAL
H. F. Collins, a Bakersfleld promoter,
has closed a deal with Charles Haber
kin and associates, well known Bakers
fleld oil men with large Midway in
terests, for the development of all of
section 30, 80-23, in the west side.

OIL MEN NAME LIST
OF REPRESENTATIVES
Ballot Box Will Be Opened Next
Thursday, and Board of
Directors Elected
The Western Oil Producers' associa
tion, organized a week ago, held its
second meeting at the chamber of com
merce last Slight and nominated twen
ty-two prominent oil men Trom
throughout the state as candidates for
directors. Voting will be made by bal
lot by mall, and the eleven receiving
the largest number of votes will be
elected directors at the next meeting
of the organization in the chamber of
commerce next Thursday night.
Tho meeting last night was represent
ative of the largest independent oil in
terests In the state, and greater har
mony was displayed than at the two
preceding meetings, whereat the several
factions—thoso opposing conservation
and those for It—clashed. But those
present at the meeting seemed to have
a better understanding of tho object of
the new oil men's association, which in
the bylaws declares the purpose will ba
to unite the oil operators of the west
in an association for the protection and
advancement of the oil Industry, to se
cure legislation which shall govern ana
dispose of public lands containing oil
In a manner Just and equitable alike to
the operator and to the government,
and devise ways and means for eneci
ually advancing the common interests
of oil men by all legitimate methods.
REACH "UNDERSTANDING
Like the organization of all promi
nent bodies, the oil men had to do more
or less talking and arrive at some defi
nite understanding before actual busi
ness of the evening could be transact
ed. The talk that a row between the
several interests was brewing fell flat
when the meeting came to order and
the oil men met upon common ground,
apparently for mutual benefit and noth
ing more. However, there was some
complaint that the several factions rep
resented each wished to capture tho
control and make it a one-sided affair.
This procedure was not In evidence
during the meeting, and everybody
present appeared to be In dead earnest
to get something in the way of organ
ization that would protect the oil men
against all disturbing quantities, in
cluding legislation, although conserva
tion was not mentioned except in a
general way during the meeting.
The meeting probably brought to
gether more prominent oil men than
any meeting ever held in Los Angeles.
At the two preceding meetings, for in
stance, the Doheny interests were not
represented, but at last night's meeting
prominent ameng the speakers were
Dr. Norman Bridge, secretary of the
Doheny companies; J. M. Danziger,
Canfield's son-in-law, and Thomas A.
O'Donnell, Doheny's right-hand man in
tho field.
DESIRED MORE TIME
The men from up the state wished
that more time be given them to meet
with the operators living in Los Ange
les, but as those at the north have pro»
crastlnated for two weeks to come here
it was decided at the meeting last night
that it would be best to nominate
twenty-two from among the oil men ot
the state and let all vote upon th&
names by mail, thus treating those at
a distance with the same consideration
as those living in Los Angeles, who
have attended the past several gather-
At the opening of the meeting last
night about twenty-five oil men signed
the roll of membership, making with
those that signed last week a list of
about 100. This was considered a pretty
large number for an original charter,
and time will be given until the early
part of the coming week for others to
sign the original list. Thoso who signed
last night were among the most prom
inent oil operators in the state, Includ
ing Dr. Norman Bridge, Thomas A.
O'Donnell, J. M. Danziger, W. L. Stew
ait (Union Oil company) Capt. F. M.

RECORD BUILDING XEAR
The year 1910, it is expected, will
make a new record in total valuation
of all improvements. Thus far for
eight months of the year tho grand to
tal of permits granted is 7030, against
8571 for twelve months in 1909. To
tal valuations of improvements to date
Is $13,250,000, as compared with $13,
--260.703 for all of 1909.
Thus far nearly $8,000,000 has been
expended for the erection of new
homes to the number of 3389.
It is probable that the total valua
tion of improvements in 1910 will be in
excess of $20,000,000. In 1906 the total
valuation was $18,158,518.
MAN WEARING 7 VESTS
IS SEIZED BY SLEUTH
NEW YORK, Sept. I.—"There are
clothes and again there are clothes,
but the clothes of that man over there
do not seem to set just right for a
man of his build. Thero is too much
waist line and too little supporting
frame work."
The above sartorial opinion was
given early yesterday morning by Cen
tral Office Detective Frank J. Allen as
he was standing at Bleeker and
Crosby streets. He had Just observed
an unusually fat man waddle from
the doorway of a saloon across tho
street. So he strolled across the
street to investigate the man with
the misplaced avoirdupois.
"Expecting a warm spell of weather,
friend?" inquired the detective.
"Never mind what I am expecting,"
was the short reply. He seemed anx
ious to get away, but Allen detained
him and loosened the top button of the
suspect's vest.
Did he find a shirt underneath? Thero
was found another vest, and still
another. Allen persisted until he had
uncovered seven waistcoats.
"How many pairs of trousers do you
find It necessary to wear?" queried the
detective.
"Only three," said the former fat
man.
"Well, I guess you had better come
to headquarters and explain this," said
Allen.
Still bearing his burden of clothes,
the man waddled to police headquart
ers. He said he was William Schrey
cr, 40 years old, a paper cutter of
1019 Longwood avenue, the Bronx.
Later at the Jefferson Market court
Schreyer was identified by John Greg
ory, janitor "of the building at 103
Bleeker street, as the man who had
visited his place Saturday night and
walked away with twenty suits of
clothes belonging to Julius Weldstein,
a manufacturer and dealer in clothing.
He was held in $1000 bail for the
grand Jury, charged with larceny. The
police say Schreyer is also known as
"Purdy" and "Scheler," and has been
convleted of theft.
