NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
TIDE TURNS TOWARD
CONSERVATION IN OIL
Powerful Interests Favor Pinchot
Policies with Amendments
Satisfactory to California
The California Oil World that has
been taking a prominent part in ad
vocating the needs of oil men. In an
editorial yesterday favoring conserva
tion with certain amendments, said:
"The suggestion herewith given la
made in the hope that it may serve to
point the way to a satisfactory and
wholly fair adjustment of the appar
ent controversy between the oil men
of California and the government over
lands claimed by the former and be
longing to the latter. After all, it may
appear that there is no actual con
flict —only a misunderstanding due to
an alarm on the one hand and to lack
of information on the other. A scjuare
deal only is wanted by the oil mon.
They are entitled to that. All of that
they must have and less than that it
must be admitted is not to be consid
ered.
"First—Let the oil men accept con
servation and work to secure Its appli
cation to their circumstances and con
ditions in such a manner that all that
the conservationists desire will be ob
tained and all that the oil men have
a right to demand will be granted.
, "Second— the oil men accept the
proposed leasing system, whereby the
government shall be given a portion or
, the production on a royalty basis on
all claims yet to be taken up and on
all claims wherein it cannot be shown
that the claimants have acted in good
faith and with diligence; said leasing
' system to be modified to such an ex
tent that the government shall not
partake of all the values over and
above the mere cost of production and
that the operator in untried territory
shall be entitled to aYi amount of acre
age increasing as the risk and uncer
tainty increase. •
"Third— the oil men insist that
every right earned by a compliance
with the terms of what has amounted
to much more than an Implied contract
with the government shall be affirmed
and confirmed in every detail and in
every particular. Fairness demands
that the government shall hold to and
not violate the word it virtually gave
when by assent to a certain proced
ure for a long period of years it
brought about the understanding that
this procedure was in full acocrdance
with law.
RESTS WITH OIL MEN
"The California Oil World believes
that material and substantial Justice
can be secured by the oil men of the
west by working along the above sug
gested line or a similar one. To stand
out and fight means defeat, for they
are a handful against many millions
and are helpless except for the favors
' the greater numbers choose to grant.
To stand in and attempt to arrive at
some equitable agreement means to
beckon victory. Consideration will
beget consideration; concession will
secure concession. In the end it will
be found that we shall have achieved
all that we have been asking for, while
the business of oil production will have
been established on a firmer and a
surer foundation. This belief is based
upon these reasons:
"First, conservation. Whether or not
we favor the policy of conservation,
that policy is going to be adopted and
put into operation. He is a short
sighted viewer of events who does not
see that the whole trend of the public
mind is toward conservation. The idea
will be embodied in our future laws
and customs. That is as certain as it
is certain that this republic will live
and progress. Oil men with all others
must bow to the Inevitable. Further
more, conservation can be justly ap
plied, with perhaps great good to all
and without doing harm to anyone,
since with recognition of existing le
gitimate claims—all else falling within
the scope of the new policy— is
no possible opportunity to work injus
tice and oppression. Therefore, let us
accept it.
INEVITABLE ISSCE
"Second, leasing. The leasing sys
tem is also inevitable. Whether or not
we favor the leasing system, that sys
tem is going to be imposed. And, af
ter all, why not? The leasing system
Is a success and Is now being operated
upon in the great majority of instances
of development in this state. It is as
old as the oil industry itself and is
not objected to except when it is pro
posed that the government shall grant
possesison of its lands in like manner.
Private leases range in terms from
low royalties to high royalties, accom
panied by large cash bonuses, the lat
ter being regarded as a matter of
course. We have chosen the leasing
system as the one most workable and
there Is little argument worthy cf con
sideration against the adoption by the
government of the same system, es
pecially in view of the fact that by
such adoption there can be established
regulations tending to prevent monop
oly in land, a condition recognized
throughout the whole world as block-
Ing and impeding progress and com
mon prosperity. Therefore, let us ac
cept this "validating rights. Every
''Third, validating rights. Every
claim initiated according to law, cus
tom court decisions and land depart
ment rulings as these existed at the
date of initiation and carried forward
as nearly as possible in conformity
with the requirements of the govern
ment and in good faith-is in morals
and equity as fully the property of the
claimant as if the deed thereto had
been signed, sealed and delivered to
him to have and to hold. Anything
other than this is absolute injustice,
amounts to confiscation and is abhor
• rent to the principles upon which the
nation rests. It cannot be that the
American people contemplate, or will
countenance, a policy or system capa
ble of bringing about such a result.
rEOFI.E KNOW BEST
"Trust the American people. They
have never yet consciously or Inten
tionally done a wrong to weak or
strong within the country's boundaries
or without. Their chief merit is their
adherence to the square deal In the
cast and now. It did not remain for
Theodore Roosevelt to invent the
sauare deal. He simply concentrated
into one short phrase the spirit of our
institutions, codifying in naked brief
ness the whole of our principles and
laws The fathers aHked a square deal

they craved they went and took. More
than a century later the pa: ion for
the square deal still ruled, but stron
ger What Cuba craved, the Ameri
can people took from Spain and gave
her. Trust the American people to do
the right thing.
"The oil men of California can get
fair play, but they must educate the
government so that the government
may be uware of what fair play In

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1910,
WESTERN MINERALS
STRIKES HIGH GRAVITY
Company Operating in San Emi
dio Field Meets with
Great Success
The Western Minerals company, con
trolled by Fred C. Ripley and asso
ciates of the Santa Fe, who own about
4000 acres of fine oil land lying di
rectly southeast of Marioopa and ox
tending for a distance of about seven
miles in that direction almost to the
San Emidio ranch, report a recent
strike (if high gravity oil in their well
near the center of section 25-11-23, at
the extreme southeastern portion of
their large holdings. They have land
ed the lOrinch casing into an oil sand
apparently well saturated with a fine
light oil testing 31 degrees gravity at
a depth of 1650 feet. This is said to
be the lightest grade of oil ever found
in the Midway-Maricopa fields and it
is reported to be one of the finest re
fining oils that has ever been found in
California.
This is the third oil sand that they
have thus far encountered in the drill
ing ot the well. The first sand was
reached at a depth of 1420 feet and
produced a green lubricating oil of 19
gravity, which was used by the com
pany in its crude state as a cylinder
oil for its engines.
The strike created quite a sensation.
The second sand was encountered at
a depth of 1340 feet, containing oil of
24 gravity and being also a lubricant
of a decided greenish cast. The dis
covery of the last or third oil sand,
producing such a light refining oil is
considered quite remarkable and has
started a large sized boom in this dis
trict.
LA>T> IS SCARCE
Patented lands are scarce and con
sequently are held at a premium. Only
recently the American Oilfields com
pany acquired valuable properties in
(sections 10, 12 and 14-11-23, immedi
ately north of. the Western Minerals
land, and it has erected several rigs
and is preparing to commence driltng
on a large scale, while a syndicate
headed by Burton E. Green of the
Amalgamated Oil company and M. t±.
Whittier, formerly of the Associated
Oil company, has acquired valuable
properties in sections 23, 25-11-23, and
in sections 8 and 20-11-22, northeast
of the Western Minerals property.
They also expect to develop their prop
erty and are quite enthused over their
prospects.
Fred C nipW is also enthusiastic
over the new field and says his com
pany has recently made another strike
of greenish lubricating oil in its well
on section 22-11-23, at a depth of 1340
feet The superintendent estimates
that when the well is placed on the
pump it will produce from 75 to 100
barrels of oil a day.
These two recent strikes of such un
usual light oil in apparently good
quantities at such a great distance
from the hitherto proved oil belts have
opened up a large, well denned and
undeveloped territory that will prove
to be one of the richest oil fields in the
state, it is said.
FOURTEEN MEN WORK ON
COBRE GRANDE PROPERTY
GLOBE, Sept. 23.—At the Cobre
Grande property which was purchased
from several Globe people by Wheel
er & Shaw of Boston, Mass., several
months ago, fourteen men are at work
driving two tunnels to crosccut the
two veins in evidence on the claims.
One of these tunnels called the iron
tunnel is about 30 feet long and when
completed will be 628 feet in length.
The face of the tunnel is in diabase
containing considerable iron sulphide.
The Fisher tunnel will eventually
connect with the shaft already sunk
on the property to a depth of 94 feet
Tins tunnel will crosscut two veins
and will gain 300 feet in vertical depth
by the time of its completion. Within
the last three or four days this tunnel
has passed into one of the veins for
four or five feet and has unearthed
some ore containing much iron and
ehalcopyrite and running from 50 cents
°When the tunnel has reached a point
directly under the bottom of the shaft,
a raise will be put up to make a con
nection, this means of connecting the
two having been selected on account
of the prevalence of bad air in the
shaft having necessitated a discon
tinuance of work in the absence of
blowers to afford ventilation.
TOMBSTONE MINE PUMPS
6,500,000 GALLONS DAILY
TOMBSTONE, Sept. 23.—Work at
the big pump shaft of the Tombstone
Consolidated Alines company continues
uninterruptedly. The pumping record
exceeds 6,500,000 gallons daily and the
water in the loir level is kept clear
of workings sufficiently to permit drift
ing operations without slightest hin
drance or delay.
The upraise <m the 1000 foot level
for air connections is making remark
able progress, being within fifty feet
of connections with the 500 foot level.
The work on the Contention dyke
is being crowded night and day, and
the north and south drifts run on this
lead 1000 feet below the surface. Some
good results are looked for here and
indications are favorable for opening
a large ore body of Importance in that
neighborhood.
Other work recently prosecuted by
the company below the water level in
tho district looks encouraging, while
the chlorlders at various points re
port success in opening ore bodies up
on which royalties are paid to the
company.
Good reports continue to come from
tlie Hershal and Royal Guard com
panies operating in this district.
PULLS CASING
COALINQA, Sept. 23.—E1 Cerito Oil
company, which recently succeeded in
getting the casing out of the 4000-foot
hole in the Devil's Den and has re
moved all of the other drilling- mate
rial from th.? property, will hold the
regular annual meeting of the stock
holders at San Mateo on October 6.
The directors have succeeded in get
ting a lease on property In the Mari
copa field and have already started
operations lor developing property.
Some of the material from the aban
doned hole has been moved to Marl
to be used on the property there,
and some has been sold. The stock
holders, in meeting, will be called on
tify the action of Lie directors.
ThomaH Turner and James Walp
will attend the meeting at San Mateo
and will take care of the p_roxle« of
those who cannot attetnd.
OWNER TAKES BACK LAND
HELD BY BURR BROTHERS
Preston and Takey Withdraw
from Coalinga Aladdin-Will
Operate Separately
COAXJNGA, Sept. 23.—Alfred Fuhr
man, owner of the Coalinga Aladdin
property on section 6, has served no
tice personally upon E. W. Preston that
the Coalinga Aladdin company has for
feited all the lease and personal prop
erty on account of not complying with
the terms of the lease. Preston accept
ed service of the notice in behalf of the,
Coalinga Aladdin, as he is still a di
rector of that company.
Prestcn said he had severed all con
nection with Burr Bros., and although
he will remain in the oil business, it
will be on his own hook. He said that j
he asked members of the Burr family
to come out to Coalinga and straightea
out the tangle into which their compa
nies had been thrown, but as they re
fused, he severed his connection with
them. He also said C. H. ToTjey nad
broken away from the Burrs.
Preston said that as he is still an
officer of the Coalinga Aladdin compa
ny, he accepted the summons of this
owner of the property, Mr. Fuhrman,
and that the matter will be threshed
out in the courts. According to his
statement, the company is only in debt
about ;SOO, but that Burr Bros, have I
advanced about $i"000 for the company |
since it has been in financial difficulties.
He said that the Burrs have agreed to I
let the matter of this sum drop, and
allow the company to sell the personal
property to pay off the $800 Indebted
ness, the balance of the sale price to go
to the stockholders.
Fuhrman claims the Coalinga Aladdin
company and the Burrs have not com
plied with all of the terma* of the lease,
and he intends to hold them to the orig
inal contract. He allowed considerable
latitude so that something could bo
done by the stockholders, but now ne
intended that they should not come ]
upon the property and take anything
from it.
The Aladdin cannot assesa the stock
holders without an order of the court,
and as It seems impossible that any
such action will be taken. Its affairs
will probably come to an end in a very
short time.
HERRIN GOES EAST TO
SETTLE OUTPUT PROBLEM
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.—Neith
er the Associated nor the Agency of
ficials will release any information
concerning negotiations between these
two marketers, which have been un
der way for tw6 weeks, nor will any
intimation be given for publication as
to the nature of the deal.
The departure of General Manager
Herrin of the Southern Pacific, which
controls the Associated, for the east
last week is believed to have been on
Oils business, and it is admitted in
some quarters that the deal will either
be consummated or abandoned before
the close of this week—that the Agrency
will not consent to any changes beingr
L P. St. Clalr, president of the
Agency, expects to leave tonight for
Los Angeles.
BELIEVES DEAL WILL BE MADE
BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 23.—A mem
ber of the executive committee of the
Agency was in Bakersfield Tuesday
and stated that in his belief the deal
between the Associated and that or
ganization would be made, and soon.
He pointed to the sudden rise ip the
price of Associated stock, due to Inside
buying, and Mr. Herrin's trip east as
significant matter indicating satisfac
tion with the terms, and insisted fur
ther that the Associated is short of
oil and must have It. While refusing
to give an Inkling as to the nature of
the deal, he admittetd that an agree
ment has practically been reached
which will result to the advantage
of both organizations. "They're a
hard crowd to deal with, but our posi
tion is strong—we've got the oil."
OLIG CRUDE GETS
BIG WELL AT LAST
TAFT Sept. 23. —A stream of oil shot
over the derrick of the Ollg Crude,
northwest quarter of the southwest
quarter of section 32, 31-33, Friday.
After flowing for a short time the
well sanded up. The superintendent
"has since been trying to bail her out,
bein<» afraid to put the tools into the
hole"again. The sand was reached at
2700 feet with 6%-inch casing.
The Olig Crude has had a hard run
of luck and the stockholders are re
joicing that the big sand has finally
been reached. Twice the derrick had
to be moved on account of a crooked
hole.
CLARA SMELTER RESUMES;
MINE IN PRIME CONDITION
George Mitchell, president and gen
eral manager of the Clara Consoli
dated informs The Herald from Swan
sea that the Clara smelter, located at
that point, resumed operations yester
day after a shutdown for repairs and
additions. He also said everything
at the Clara Mines was in the best
condition possible.
OCTOPUS OPENS OIL WELL
DUNKIRK, N. T., Sept. 23.—The
Standard Oil company has struck a gaa
well at Arkwright, near here, which
has a stoady flow of nearly a million
feet a day. The roar of the escaping
gas can be heard a mile away. The
well Is the largest ever opened in the
western New York field.
