From Mines and Oil Fields
MEXICAN MINES ENTER
PERIOD OF PROSPERITY
Favorable Weather and Ample
Capital Act as Strong
Impetus to Industry
MONTEREY, Mexico, Nov. With
the passing of the rainy season mining
development operations are showing a
revival. It Is expected that all of the
'mountain roads, which during the pe
riod of heavy rains become more or
Ibsb Impassable, will soon be In good
shape again and that the transporta
tion of machinery for mines and mills
over them will no longer be hindered.
In the more arid localities the rains
have served to provide an adequate
■ water supply for regular operations
until the next rainy season rolls
around.
The American-Mexico Mining and
Development company's mines in the
Velardena district, Durango, which
have been Idle for several years, are
to be reopened for development. Opera
tions for the present will bo confined
to some of the richer properties, where
proved veins are available for ore ex
traction. It Is announced In this con
nection that the company "will ship
Its ore to either *.t.e smelter at Velar
dena or the one at Torreori, Instead
.of placing the San Lorenzo smelter In
operation.
■ An old gold and silver mine in the
municipality of Rosamorado, Teplc,
owned by W. H. Hartgrove of Aca
poenta, will soon be reported. It Is
said to contain rich ore.
• A promising gold and silver claim
In the Huicila camp, in the Dulces
Nonibres Mountains, Jalisco, Is to be
developed by J. W. Sharpless of Van
couver, B. G. He recently applied to
the government for title to the prop
erty.
; The Companla Nogoclaclon Minefa
do San Rafael do Pachuco has added
to its electrical equipment and also
installed additional stamps and tube
mills.
Many new mining claims have been
located in the Guanajuato district re
cently. Some of them arc to be oper
ated by the - largo- mining concerns,
and others are to be worked as Inde
pendent properties. The Guanajuato
Reduction and Mines company,
through Henry- P. Smith, has In-.
creased Its holdings by denouncing a
claim under the name of "Minute" In
the Mellado section. Several denounce
ments of claims have also been ma,de
in the Pozos and other districts of the
state. I
Tho Estrella del Sur is the name
of a new mine which the Gemelos
Mining and Milling company is pre
paring to develop ir the Mineral de la
Playa district, Guanajuato.
The Clnco Minns company, which
operates the ■ Oinco Minas group of
mines In the Hostotlpaqulllo district,
Jalisco, expects to place the order for
its proposed 250-ton reduction plant
the latter part of the present year.
Several carloads of the .ore will be
shipped to the United States for
thorough tests in order to determine
the best method, of treating it. Tho
company recently made arrangements
with the Chapala Hldry Electric and
Irrigation company of Guadalajara
for the use of electric power to be
furnished by tho latter company at
the rate of, $100 a horsepower a year.
; Steps are now being taken to build
a branch transmission line to the Clnco
Mlnai company from the main line
of the electrical concern. The Clnco
Minas company has also acquired
water rights in the vicinity of Tequila,
Jalisco, which are capable of generat
ing 2000 horsepower. In view of the
contract that It has just entered into
with the Chapala Hydro Electric and
Irrigation company, it is probable that
it will not Install Us own hydro-elec
tric plant, as was criglnally proposed.
: Under its new ownership there has
been more than 500,000 tons of ore,
running about $25 a ton In value,
blocked out by the company in its
mines. .
The rich ore which Is being taken
out In the development operations is
being shipped to the smelter at the
rate of about seventy tons a month.
This ore runs from five to ten kilos
silver and from fifty to ninety grams
•gold.
GOULD DISTRICT WILL
HAVE SMELTING PLANT
TUCSON, Nov. 6.—After vainly try
ing most of the spring and all summer
to develop water in sufficient quanti
ties to operate a smelter an adequate
supply has been secured, and the Gould
Hmeltor project, which for months has
been out of the public gaze, has be
come a certainty, according to Charles
K. Hutchlnson, auditor for the Wells-
Fargo company, who la interested in
mining in the Gould district.
The date of the arrival of the smelter
machinery is uncertain, he said, as that
depends upon tho« Colorado Iron Works
company, which is to furnish it.
However, transportation facilities
have been secured for hauling the
smelter parts to the property by
means of a traction engine, which will
also be used for ore hauling when the
smelter is in operation.
SYNDICATE WELL IN
BREA CANYON IS DRY
FULLERI'ON, Nov. 6.—Tho report
that the Syndicate well at tho mouth
of Brea canyon had encountered oil at
4100 feet Is premature. Throe times this
well has had thin streaks of petroleum,
to wit, at 1300, at 2400 and at 2600 feet,
hut In no ease was there anything ap
proaching commercial quantities.
Very deep drilling is anticipated here
In any event, and it looks as If the hole
would have to go to greater depths
before getting results.
The Union's San Juan No. 1 In the
continuation of the Coyote hills field,
hetween the Murphy and the" Bastan
chury, are down 3200 feet and has no
oil to date. It Is expected that none
will be had until about 3700 or 3800
feet depth is reached.
The Union has not yet succeeded in
getting out the collapsed casing from
the Sansinema No. 1, which is down
3100 feet, and In oil in the hitherto

THIRD RIG IS ORDERED
FOR MIDWAY NORTHERN
Local Company Delivers 11.900
Barrels in October from
Its First Well '
At a special meeting of the board of
directors of the Midway Oil company
it was decided to Install rig for well
No. 3 and to begin drilling therein as
soon as possible. Drilling is now in
progress on well No. 2 with 12V4-inch
casing.
A battery consisting of two 70-horse
.power boilers has been installed at the
Midway Northern property and con
nected with the big line pump, sump
pumps and feed pumps, and also with
engines at wells Nos. 1 and 2.
Deliveries from the Midway Northern
for September amounted to a total of
3789 barrels and for October 11,900 bar
rels.
Superintendent Paulson says well No.
1 has flowed continuously since Sep
tember 21 without sanding or giving
any trouble whatever. The well has
been throttled that only .sufficient oil
may be produced to fill daily deliveries.
The company has a tank storage of 2000
barrels. It la said that the Midway
Northern will pay its first dividend
this month.
CASMALIA PUTS FIRST <
WELL UP FOR A TEST
SANTA MARIA, Nov. 6.—Under the
management of W. C. Baker of the
Ensign-Baker Refilling company, the
Casmalia Petroleum company, operat
ing in the main field on the property
north 'of the Southern Pacific's pro
ducer is putting its first well in shape
for an early testing for oil. The hole
is now 1280 feet deep and it is planned
to finish up the well at 1600 feet. This
well is only 500 feet from the Southern
Pacific's well which was finished up
Under 1600 feet and a 250 barrel pro
ducer brought In.
The Knsign-Baker Refining company
at Hadley guarantees a market for
the production from the Caamalia Pe
troleum company at fifty cents a
barrel f. o. b. Casmalia, the contract
to cover all oii from any wells of this
company.
The company is a closely held cor
poration operating on a twenty-year
lease with pumping privileges covering
several years longer under a one
eighth royalty agreement.
ENCINITAS WILDCATTER
STARTS SECOND STRING
OCEANSIDE, Nov. 6.—With one
first-class oil drilling outfit In operation
eight months, another rig installed
and on tho eve of spudding in, and
with authentic reoorts ot the imme
diate sinking of several other wells,
Kncinitas has hope of becoming the
Fullerton of San Diego county. The
sookrrs for oil have secured leases of
hundreds of acres of land, with options
of purchase, and owners of land in tho
so-called oil belt of the Eneinitas
country are beginning to-feel that they
are on "easy street."
An enterprising woman of Los An
geles, Mrs. Laura F. Clark, is respon
sible for all the attention Eneinitas is
now receiving as a possible oil produc
ing center. Mrs. Clark is the widow
of A. K. Clark, who, at his death, left
her a fortune.
She employed experts to examine
the lands at the heal of the La
Costa lagoon, the result being her de
termination to make this the scene of
operations.
AGENCY OIL 44 CENTS
The price of the Agency September
oil is 48.98 cents a barrel after deduct
ing xO per cent due the Union and one
half cent per barrel to Agency. From
this Is to be taken a storage charge
of 7.8 cents per barrel of oil sold. Th's
leaves the net price 36.1S cents a barrel.
1.18. cents above August. This clears
storage oil from further charges on
that account. The deliveries for Sep
tember amounted to 750,000 barrels.
COULD PAY $2.50 A BARREL
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.—A well
known authority on tug work on the
bay recently remarked that these
boats could afford to pay $2.50 a barrel
for oil rather than dispense with It
and return to the use of coal, so vastly
superior Is the stiam-making energy
of oil. The boats do better and more
constant work with greater ease and
less effort.
SAN JOAQUIN SAND CROPPINGS
CONTAIN LOW GRADE OF GOLD
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.—The sand
cropplngs of the San Joaquln valley
oil fields assay gold, all the way from
6 cents to 60 cents a ton.
This interesting announcement is
made by a competent geologist and
mining engineer, who has spent much
time in going over these fields collect
ing samples and alalyzing them. He
declines to permit the use of his name
in connection with the announcement
holding that names of persons do not
add anything to a fact which may be
cpme patent to all who will take the
trouble and time to Investigate.
Samples of some collections from
outcrops just south of McKlttrick show
an assay of 60 cents a ton; samples
from back of Maricopa, near Crocker

Agency Member Gets Loan on
Storage Certificates for
Bi-Monthly Dividend
The njal Valley Petroleum company,
operating on the west half of the west
half of the southwest quarter of lec
toln 21, 23-28, Kern River, has com
pleted well No. 11 and is rigs
tor i- and 13.
The company, which is a member of
the agency, has a production of boo
barrel! daily and has about 20,000 bar
rels of oil in storage, which will soon
begin to move. In the meantime a
loan haw been effected on the storage
certificate! issued by the agency,
which Will permit of the payment of
the regular bi-monthly dividend of
1 per cent November 10, which
amounts to 6 per cent a year on the
par value of the stock, or 10 per cent
on the market price, $60.
The Ojai Valley adpo^ns the Melwood,
which has the east half of the west
half of section 21, 28-28, both proper
ties being uiider the same manage
ment. Botft WF.-C a drilling agreement
with the T. M. B. OH company, which
drills the wells! taking stock in pay.
This arrangement permlts lne com
panies, which are lessees, to devote
all revenue to the payment of divi
dends.
The Melwood has four wells in the
sand. The formation is about 800
fert deep and there are 170 to 192 feet
of sand of the usual productivity of
the Kern River field.
In addition to the Kern River leases,
on which the royalty is one-sixth, the
Melwood owns in fee 124 acres In frac
tional section 33, 13-28, east of the
Maricopn flat: and the Ojal Valley has
under lease 140 acres in Santa Paula
on one-eighth royally.
Three Wells have been finished on
this lease and seven more are to be
drilled soon.
DIAMOND DRILLS GET
FAVORABLE RESULTS
GLOBE, Nov. 6.—A possibility of
favorable developments in exploitation
work is afforded by the operations
now under way with a diamond drill
at the property of the Superior & Globe
Copper company located in the Copper
hill part of the Globe Miami district.
Two holes are now being driven by
drilling outfits employed by the com
pany under the direction of Superinten
dent H. V. Snell and Foreman P. Wag
ner. One of these holes is being driven
downward from the 650-foot level to
cut the vein at a depth of about 1260
feet and the other hole is being driven
horizontally northward Into the coun
try rock to seek another vein which
from surface cropplngs is in evidence
at a distance of about 250 feet from
the face of the crosscut in which the
drill is working.
The drill hole going downward is
now 330 feet deep and the horizontal
hole has attained a length of 60 feet.
Both holes are in the diabase which
forms the walls of the mineralized
V«lna in that part of the country.
The driving of two holes, instead of
one, enables the management to great
ly hasten this kind of exploration and
to' utilize the drill constantly as one
hole may be advanced while the other
is being cemented. The ground In that
part of the district is somewhat frac
tured and it is occasionally necessary
to cement tho hole before work in ft
can he continued. When only one hole
is being drilled the dally advance aver
ages about four feet.
MIDWAY BASIN SUSPENDS

MARICOPA, Nov. 6.—The Midway
Basin Oil company on section 2S, 31-24
has suspended operations in an oil
formation a* 3123 feet, afte putting
in the 6-inch string, and will endeavor
to cement off the water through perfor
ations in the casing. Should this fail,
a liner will he put in.
The Midway Basin has been in oil
bearing shales and sands for 127 feet.

sand, which is the condition in the bot
tom. The gas pressure is heavy, suf
ficient to send the oil up through 3000
tpet of water. . .
So far as ran be judged tho oil is of
high gravity. The well is located in
the basin between the Buena Vista
and Elk hills, and is the first discovery
yet made in that locality.
STAMPS READY TO DROP
MESA, Ariz., Nov. 6.—For the first
time in the past several years the
stamp mill at the Mammoth mine Is
again in condition to run. The boil
ers used in generating steam for the
hoisting engine will also be used in
furnishing steam for the stamp en
gines will be cooled off and cleaned,
immediately after which the stamp
mill will be put in operation.
MASCOT PAYS $10,000
The Mascot "has just distributed its
regular monthly dividend of two cents
a share, amounting to $10,000. The
company is producing about 90,1100 bar
rels of oil a month, .selling It to the
Standard at 50 cents a barrel.

wherever the oil sand outcrop occurs,"
says the engineer.
The gold obtained Is not what Is
called free gold. It would require the
cyaniding process to separate It from
the sand.
Dredgers find profit In handling sand
that goes 5 cents a ton. Of course, It
goes without saying that if a sufficient
deposit of gold-bearing oil sands could
be had at not too great a depth the
handlers of them woujd be richly re
warded by the yellow metal.
Most gold hunters look for it with
their natural eyes and when they fail
to see it they pass on.
Drillers in the early days of the Mc-
Klttrick fields found some traces of
the metal in the sands drawn from
their wells. Also, In the early days of
the Kith Rtvtr field some traces were
disclosed In assessment work excava
tions In the outlying northwest ex

EAGLE SCREAMS OFTEN
IN 'THE YANKEE PRINCE'
Patriotism at Par at the Bur
bank; Ferris Hartman Scores
with "Woodland" at Grand
SHIRLEY OLYMPIUS
The Burbank production of "The |
Yankee Prince" is surprisingly good.
It is infinitely better than any of the
former operatic efforts of the stock
company and shows that the excur
sions taken into the realm ot musical
comedy under the chaperonage of
Percy Bronson, fcave given the various
members of the company some lirst
class information. It is rather diffi
cult for dramatic stock actors to pro
pare for a musical show, no matter
how clover those actors and how un
musical the show. Not infrequently
the most serious drawback to the suc
cess of a production such as that of
"The Yankee Prince," is the chorus.
But this is not true of the Burbank's
production. The chorus is well drilled
and hard working, besides being good
to look upon—in spots. When a well
drilled chorus backs up a cast of tal
ented principals the result is bound
to be satisfying. That's what the Bur
bank's production of "The Yankee
Prince" is—satisfying, surprisingly so!
There's a well defined story running
through "The Yankee Prince." In a
sentence the plot is a satirical slap at
the exchange under the guise of mar
riage of money—and heart happiness—
lor a title. In the end the two hearts
that beat as one beat together, the
title owner is sent back to his island
home and all ends with a glorious
whoop. Of course the eagle screams
frequently during the progress of "The
Yankee prince," George M. Cohan be
ing the author. You know Cohan's
specialty is making eagles scream. He
finds it profitable to combine songs,
dances and patriotism of the flag wav
ing sort. Only recently he said that
as long as Uncle Sam had a birthday
every July fourth, George M. Cohan
and his royal family will never go hun
gry. It is a certainty that Oliver
Morosco will not be annoyed by the
wolf during the run of "The Yankee
Prince." He will make money if yes
terday afternoon's audience is any
criterion.
There are nine songs and half a doz
en dances to enliven "The Yankee
Prince." Some of the songs are good,
some better and some positive hits.
Every dance is worth while. Of the
songs, "William of the Play," by David
Hartford and Laurel Atkins Ulair; 'A
B C of the U. S. A.," by Marjorie Ram
beau and Percy Bronson; "Money," by
a quartet composed of Peter Lang,
Roscoe Arbuckle, David Landau and
Percy Bronson; "Nix on the Glow
Worm, Lena," by Miss Blair and "I
Used to Sigh for the Silvery Moon,"
by Miss Rambeau and Mr. Bronson
were the best. The quartet scored
heaviest.
BRONHON I-OOKS THK PART
Next came Miss Blair with her song
and dance, and next came Miss Kam
beau and Mr. Bronson in their duets.
Miss Blair, who has an established
reputation in musical comedy, was
rushed into the role of Lillian Lloyd
on a few hours' notice, owing to the
illness of Grace Travel's. Misa Blair
not only made good, but scored a hit.
Roscoe Arbuckle, the elephantine
comedian, as Fagan, was encored
when he rendered "Come on Down
Town." Miss Ram beau and Mr. Bron
son were recalled repeatedly after their
dance, a sort of modified "Merry
Widow" affair, in the opening act. Mr.
Bronson made a very good "Yankee
Prince." He looked the part and acted
it much as George M. Cohan would.
Peter Lang, who as Steve Daly pußhed
around a life-sized and perpetual jag,
-was particularly line. Howard Scott
as the Karl of Weymouth made a hit.
Mr. Scott is every inch a character
actor and delights his audience when
he can use a diaiect. Harmon Mac-
Gregor as a tlighty French boniface
and Ethel yon Waldron as a "she
detective" were excellent. Others in
the cast were entirely acceptable.
There Is to be offered one criticism,
which, however, has but a secondary
bearing upon the production. I refer
to Marjoria Rambeau's gowns and
coiffure. She is supposed to bo twenty,
the daughter of a multi-millionaire, yet
she dresses her hair like a child of
four—long curls dangling upon her
shoulders—and in the first two acts
wears a frock which, to say the best
of it, is dowdy and, unbecoming to Miss
Rambeau and the daughter of a pluto
crat, who is trying to sell her to a
nobleman (?). HappHy, Miss Rambeau
has charm, and that compensates.
"WOOI>I.ANIV AT TillS. OBAND
"Woodland," the musical "Chante
cler," was revived by Ferris Hartman
and his merry aswociates yesterday at
the Grand opera house. Judging from
all standpoints, the piece deserved
every bit of the generous applause it
received. There is worth to MWood
land." Its general character is differ
ent from the usual run of musical
comedies. It is mure an extravaganza
than a comedy. Its musical numbers
have lilt, and its humor is of a gen
uine kind. Inasmuch as the Hartman
chorus is pretty in more way than one,
and is led by Carmen Phillips, and the
principals are not ordinary, "Wood
land" is a success.
Mr. Hartman is always springing
surprises--. In "Woodland" the partic
ular surprise happens to be Annie Lit
tle.who essays the role of Prince Ea
gle. Miss Little took last night's audi
ence by storm and was applauded to
the echo. She has a voice of wonder
ful sweetness- a personality of much
charm; a flgru* of near-perfection and
a face of youthful beauty. Everybody
was disappointed that her role did
not call for more vo ""ation, for h2r
"When tae Heart Is Light" and
Cheer, Boys, Cheer" were hits.
As usual Mr. Hartman, Myrtle Ding
wall, "Muggins" Davies, Walter De
Leon and Robert Z. Leonard scored
heavily. Mr. Hartman played the Blue
Jay and was particularly funny. Miss
Dlngwall, as the Nighingale. sang
"Time Is Flying" and "The Message
of Spring" very well.. Miss Davies and
Mr. DeLeon gained half a dozen en
cores with "Dainty Little Ingenue"
and she and Mr. Hartman were round
ly applauded for their efforts in "Bye
Bye, Baby." "The Hot Bird and Cold
Bottle dance made a hit. Had the
varlou participants in the singing con
test, the biggest feature of "Woodland"
desired, they would be singing yet.
This musical effort, rendered by the
Canaries, Miss Nightingale and cho
rus, Jenny Wren and the Blackbirds
and the Dove and chorus seemed to
please immensely.

"Te White Sister," with Viola Allen
in the title raid ">»' accompanied by
James O'Neill and the greatest sup
porting company ever organized, in
cluding Minnie Gale and Henry Stan
ford has the distinction of being a
dramatic play which carries a chorus.
Thus far it is the only play of this
sort to do so. The young women of
the ensemble are high-salaried singers
<if more than ordinary ability, and
their efforts are required to furnish
choir and solo singing in the convent
chapel. Special music was composed
by William Furst, and like a musica
organization. a traveling musical
director is one of the necessary evils.
"The White Sister" comes to the Ma

cently has delighted the patrons of
the Belasco-Hliukwood house so much
as this frivolous farce.
