6 From Mines and Oil Fields WISHES YARD DECISION HELD UP FOR PRESENT Chamber of Mines Directors Be lieve Ruling Is Good Law with Remedial Legislation S. E. Vermllyaa, attorney and oil operator, and W. C. Kennedy of the Baker Iron works left yesterday as a special committee from the Los Angeles chamber of mines and oil to attend the meeting of oil men to be held today at Bakersfleld. The directors and various commit tees of the local organization have taken an active Interest in the trou bles of the oil men brought about as a result of the applications by the land office of the Yard decision, and It was through the efforts of the cham ber of mines and oil that Secretary Pierce on his recent visit to Los An geles was enabled to hold a series of public meetings and met a number of the oil men, securing their opinions as to the hardships imposed by the Yard decision as applied to the transfer of oil land locations. It is the consensus of opinion of the directors of the chamber that the Yard decision is "good law." In their opin ion, however, the application to the transfer of locations on public lands supposed to " 3 valuable for their pe troleum content works an unusual hardship owing to the economical dif ficulties incident to making the actual discovery of mineral required by law. At the recent meetings held in Los Angeles it developed that the question of the assignment of locators of their rights was not squarely raised In the Yard case and was not necessary to the decision announced in that case, that it was "obiter dictum," or not essential to the decision on the main question. The attorneys presenting other cases before Secretary Pierce based their pleadings upon the fact that this par ticular portion of the Yard decision being "obiter dictum" did not pre clude the department from ruling otherwise in the oil land cases now before the department. It would seem, therefore, that a spe cial appeal to the interior department to withhold the application of the Yard decision to oil land cases until such time r remedial legislation is passed by congress should have its ef fect. GIROUX WANTS FREIGHT RATES REDUCED AT ELY ELY, Nev., Nov. 11.—Complaining of the arbitrary methods of fifteen dif ferent railroads In the western states, whose commodity and class rates are attacked as unreasonable, the Glroux Consolidated Mines company is mak ing a determined effort to obtain more satisfactory terms from the railroad Interests in a petition which was filed with the Interstate commerce commis sion yesterday. The establishment of through rates and joint rates from Chicago and Mississippi river points and from Den ver and Pueblo covering the shipment, of all commodities and classes of freight moving to points on the Ne vada Northern through Chicago Is de manded by the Giroux company. Since the Cole-Ryan crowd as sumed control of the Giroux proper ties almost two years ago, that com pany has disbursed $135,000 in pay ment of freight charges on machinery that was shipped into the Ely district from eastern points. Out of this amount the Giroux com pany claims that the Nevada Northern has received 42 per cent of the freight expenditures for the 150-mile haul from Cobre to Kimberly. With the exception of coal and lum ber the Giroux people aver that they denied carload rates on other com modities from East Ely to the com pany's properties. "The petition which has been sub mitted to the interstate commerce commission was prepared in tho east ern offices of the company," said Man ager F. P. Mills of the Glroux Con solidated. "I was aware of the fact that the head officials were preparing to take steps toward getting better freight rates. I am not acquainted with the details of the charges that are made in the petition." ECKSTROM COMPANY ISSUES REPORT ON 2 NEW WELLS The E. G. Eckstrom company yestor <Jay Issued a report on its two prop erties in the Midway field, of which the following is part: "We have received a report from Su perintendent Paulson today which shows Maricopa Northern well No. 1 drilled to a depth of 324 foot, witli 2SO feet of 12%-inch casing installed, and the Midway Northern well No. 2 is drilled to a deptn of 612 feet with 4SO feet of 12%-inch casing Installed, Both •wells are drilling through sand, which is the most treacherous formation that •will be encountered In the entile depth of the wells. Notwithstanding this, however, the crews on oach well are making rapid progress and successfully combating all obstacles. We are very much pleased with the amount <>f de velopment accomplished and can al ready count the days when these two ■wells will be flowing. "To demonstrate the machine-like manner in which the work i.s being conducted on the property, will say that the crews that go on to.vcr at 12 o'clock noon eat their lunch at 11:30 a. m. and then go to their respective positions, taking the drills out of the handf) of the crews that go off tower at noon, there bplncr no lon of time whatever In the change. The same plan Is followed out in the change of crews at midnight." NATIONAL MINE SHIPS GOLD BULLION BY MAIL NATIONAL, Nev., Nov. 11—Twelve bars of bullion belongirg to the Na tional Mines company and of the np proxlmate value of $90,000, were ahipped from Winnetnuc;a by express to the United States mint in San Francisco Wednesday.

JAMES WYNKOOP C.P.R. CONTRACTS FOR 2500 BARRELS A DAY Independent Agency Will Supply Railroad with All Fuel for Coast Craft SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.—The In dependent agency has made a contract with the Canadian Pacillc railroad to deliver all the oil required by it on Its boats and on Its western division | at a price which, after expenses have , been deducted, will net the seller BO conts a barrel at the well. The re quired amount to be delivered Is 12,600 barrels a day, but the agency has an ! option on the whole quantity needed above that figure. All the locomotives of the Canadian Pacific running Into" and out of its Pacific coast terminus will be con verted Into oil burners. The company has already made an oil burner of one of Its ships, the Princess Marie, and the experiment I has proved so satisfactory that it was determined to close this contract with the agency for all the fuel oil the road and its Puget sound and coast craft can consume. MARKETERS, ENCOURAGED, FEEL FOR NEW BUSINESS SAN FRANCISCO, Nov| 11.—The present production of fuel oil and the hopeful outlook that it will be sus tained for t,ome years to come is en abling the marketers to.reach out and get anil accommodate new business. "Of course there is a market for It," recently remarked a prominent mem ber nf one of the big marketing con cerns. "But that market cannot be dealt with on the basis of gusher pro duction. "There must be something more <Je prndable than that. We cannot and will not contract to deliver oil on the basis of an uncertain supply."

PALMER TO JOIN THE INDEPENDENT AGENCY Company with Large and Steady Production in Santa Maria Comes Through SANTA MARIA, Nov. 11,— of the most notable events In the history of the Independent OH Producers' agency Is about to occur In the Join- Ing of that organizatoin by the great Palmer Oil company with its produc tion from several enormous wells. It is said the Palmer and the agency have now practically come to an agree ment over certain details of trans portation which for a few days kept the two apart and in the near future the Palmer will be delivering its oil on equal terms with those who already constitute the agency. This is looked upon as a great vic tory for the independent producers, for the reason that the Palmer company is especially strong, both financially and in production. It has a tract of extremely produc tive ground and the yield of the wells is remarkably large and constant. The history of No. 1, which Is now over 2 years old, shows that it has been delivering each day with little or no variation 1600 barrels of fuel oil, which record has been kept up for months. , Previous to that It made 8000 bar rels a day, but half a mile of tubing dropped into the hole and impeded the flow. • « » RAILROAD MAY BUILD NORTHWEST OF BENSON BEXSON. Ariz., Nov. 11.—Another reason for the B. P. & S. W. to extend northwest from Benson is the favor able result from prospecting by the Copper Queen company on the Maverick group, north of Florence, remote from any railroad. Last v ek Engineer Woodrow of the Copper Queen company inspected the work. Prospectors from the camp say the prospect shaft was 105 feet deep, and the botom was still in ore—native copper and chalcoclte. That the E. P. & S. W. company is taking special Interest in the survey now being made for a branch from the San Pedro valley north of Benson to the Copper Queen holdings In the Cata lina mountains is evident from the fact that J. L. Campbell, chief engineer of the railroad company, went out there last week. C.&A. BUYS SUPERIOR COPPER AT LORDSBURG EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 11.—The Su perior copper mine at Lordsburg, N. M., which was owned by El Paso men, has been sold to the Calumet and Ari zona Mining company, controlled by the Cole-Ryan syndicate of New York. The sale was made by W. P. Payne of El Paso. Mr. Payne had an option on the Lordsburg copper mine for $85,000, and the sale to the C. and A. company was at an advanced price. The new com pany is now working the mine and has returns on the first shipment of ore from it. In addition to being a paying copp"er property, the Superior mine runs in gold and silver. PREPARES TO WORK La Ventura Oil company, organized in September to operate on 160 acres in Ventura county, is said to be making preparations to begin. Directors of the company are: A. R. Worth, president; E. R. Cammet, secretary; F. R. Pitney, treasurer, and H. F. Austin. BANKERS DELIVER 21,000 KERN RIVER, Nov. 11.—Deliveries from the Bankers property for October amounted to 21,000 barrels, to the As sociated. SONORA BRIEFS DOUGLAS, Nov. 11.—At the San Geronimo mine, over near the ban Miguel river, eastward from Posa sta tion, the new 100-ton concentrating mill has been completed, and ship ments of high-grade concentrates are going forward. Material is at Toledo to construct a telephone line to the Mina Mexico, be yond the Yaqui, to connect with the line now ramifying from Toledo to San Javier, Lv Dura, La Libertad and other points. Frank Richardson of the Richard son Construction company has re turned from Esperanza to Loa Ange les He was accompanied by E. R. Elliott, from San Buenaventura, Cal., who is interested in the Yaqui delta. The C M. Wooster company of Los Angeles and San Francisco, which la operating extensively in Sonora river valley lands, is reported making prep arations to build a projected canal to irrigate the Bushard tract, just below Villa Seris, across the river from Her mosillo. La Dura Mining company, on tne Yaqui. is reported giving the mechin erv a general overhauling, and instal ling labor and time saving appliances. A telephone line is in course of con struction, and when ompleted it will connect the mill at La Concentration with La Clorla mine, a mile down the river, and La Prleta, another mine be longing to the company, two or three miles back in the hills. At Mina, Mexico, a days ride beyond the Yaqui river from Toledo or So yopa, there is in course of construc tion a 70-ton water Jacket smelter Which will be completed and ready tor operation about the first of January. Tne product will be matte, which will be shipped. W. E. Pomeroy, a com petent mining man who has operated in Sonora and Chihuahua many years, Is general manager. Operations liave been resumed at the Santa Eduvigea mine, in the Sahuar ipa district, away out beyond the Yacjui river two or three days' ride. Recent 1> mere went to the camp Mr. Baker, from Trenton, N. J., president of the company. The Industrial Mining company, which is ii line property westward from Carbo about thirty-five miles— in the Carnero mountains —is arrang ing to resume operations, and antici pates making a start this month. A tunnel ha? been run more than 300 feet in solid limestone. When work stopped for want of funds, the ground had changed and the face of the tun nel was In sift calcite spotted with silver chlorides and ' bromides. The calcite is beliovi l to bo the vein cas ing, with a goodly ore body not far be yond, i SILENT KING CLAIM CONTAINS RICH ORE What may be a profitable property in gold production, according to E. K. Mohaney, an English geologist, is the Silent King claim, owned by W. it. Clark and associates of Salt Lake City. The property is situated about ten miles north of the North Star mining district, where such properties as the King of Arizona, the North Star, the Blue Stone and the Ironwood proper ties are located, the two latter belong ing to and being operated by Charley Sorm, Arizona mining operator. The new district Is known as the New Al amo. „ The mineral belt Is about seven miles long and from two to three miles wide. The formation is an intensive por phyry through a rhyolite field. The quartz ledges, which are large and prominent, cut through the formation In an easterly and westerly direction. The entire field is of volcanic origin. The large ore bodies occur in the intru sion through the eruptive formation. The pivotal property has a shaft 130 feet deep, all of which is in high grade ore, some samples assaying into the thousands of dollars. But the general average In the shaft is about $200 to the ton with a small percentage of silver, it is said. Aside from the bet ter grade of ore they have consider able medium grade millng ore. Several lines of business have been started in the new camp and many more will start as soon as the freight can be hauled from Vicksburg, a sta tion on the Santa Fe. The present population is about 500. CENTURION STRIKES HIGH GRADE COPPER DRAGOON, Ariz., Nov. 11.—The Cen turion company has just entered the finest body of high-grade copper ore ever encountered on its property. The strike was made at the 425-foot level in the east drift. The ore is high-grade green carbonate of copper occurring in a large body of red oxide of iron and sulphur. All indications point to very extensive bodies deeper down, and from the volume of fresh cool air that comes up from below, one concludes that the system of caves extends to unknown depths. This is evidence of vast and valuable bodies with greater depth. The Texas-Arizona shipped another car of high-grade lead carbonate ore this week. It is understood that the Arizona and Cleveland has made another strike of rich galena oro on the property each of the Ben X. Williams group. On the Princess group of the Empire company some very rich tungsten of lead was struck last week. It has not been learned as yet what the extent of the discovery is, but the samples sub mitted for inspection will run $!>OO to the ton. Cal Gregory is performing his annual work on the sroup owned by his south of the Centurion, with the result that he Is also producing. He has recently uncovered ore which assays $20 in gold and copper. RUNS OIL FROM NO. 2 MARICOPA, Nov. 11.—Tho Consoli dated Midway is running oil from Its No. 2 well on the southeast quarter of section 32-12-23 to the receiving tanka on fractional section 30. The well sands up frequently, but the bole is becoming free frohi sand and the Indications are for a good well.
