MEXICAN BRIGANDS
MENACE AMERICANS
Partner of Angeleno Is Attacked
and Robbed by Four Men
in Broad Daylight
AUTHORITIES ARE INACTIVE
Police Make No Effort to Appre
hend Thugs, and Facts Are
Suppressed by Papers
E. A. Montgomery, president of the
Sierra Madre club, who now is ln Mex
f ico, has written a letter to The Herald
in which he complains of present law
lessness in'the Guanajuato mining dis
trict and of the failure of the properly
constituted authorities Ito put a stop
to it. Most of the lawlessness, Mr.
Montgomery writes, is directed against
Americans and the facts are carefully
suppressed, the local newspapers de
clining to print accounts of tho out
rages.
In his ' letter the Angeleno says
that his ' partner, E. J. Kimball, was
held up and severely beaten by four
Mexicans October 29, barely escaping
with his life and being robbed of 900
pesos lie had with him to pay, off
laborers at the Pasadena mine. Mr.
Kimball is well' known hero. He is a
member of the advisory board of the
. American Mining congress and attend
ed the sessions of that organization in
Los Angeles last summer.
The numerous outrages of which Mr.
, Montgomery complains all occurred be
fore the outbreak of the Madero revolu
tionists and seemingly, have no con
nection with the revolution, the perpe
trators being merely brigands who, Mr.
Montgomery Insinuates, may ho oper
ating in collusion with the civil au
thorities. ; \
ATTACKED FN DAYLIGHT
The attack on Mr. Kimball was mado
on the road between the city of Guana
juato and the Pasadena mine, about
four and a half miles from the center
of the city, in broad daylight. Kim
ball .was on horseback, but was pulled
from his mount and attacked by the
four Mexicans simultaneously. One
man was armed with a knife, one with
a revolver and a third with a club.
In the melee the American was
struck half a dozen blows on the head,
was cut across the breast, on the right
arm and across the back of the right
hand. He shot one of his assailants,
he believes, in the stomach. The men
finally knocked him down and dragged
him into a gulch, where ono of them
secured the money and ran, the others,
evidently fearing to leave him out of
their sight, following.
Kimball, his scalp laid open in nu
merous places, weak from loss of blood
and almost strangled by a rope which
had been placed about his neck, made
' his way back to the road, where he
was found by a Mexican peon, who
tied him on a burro and started with
him for the Slreno mine, about a
mile distant. On the way they met
two policemen in uniform, to whom
Kimball told the story of the attack.
They refused, however, to pursue the
robbers as requested, but took Kimball
himself into custody, claiming he was
drunk. i ■'>•'■ J <
rOLICB ABE INDIFFERENT
At the Slreno mine Dr. Sandalls was
called and though the police declared
they would not allow him to treat
their prisoner they finally did consent
to permit him to bandage the wounds.
Kimball was then taken to a hospital
in Guanajuato where.he remained one
week.- Since then he has been in his
own apartments in the city, convales
cing from his wounds.
The authorities seemingly mad 6no
effort to apprehend the guilty parties.
Mr Montgomery writes, also, that
Kimball's case is only one of several.
A few days before, he says, an Eng
lishman named Wilson was waylaid
and killed by Mexican robbers. Many
foreigners have been robbed and the
English speaking residents of the dis
trict are reported to be highly . in
. censed, not only at the failure of the
government to provide them with prop
er protection but at the very evident
reluctance of the authorities to make
any effort to apprehend i the brigands.
Mr. Montgomery writes that the
Guanajuato district is one of the rich
est in Mexico, but declares that unless
these outrages are prevented foreign
capital ultimately will be driven from
the country. ____. ■ „ "'' ".

LOS, ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 26,. 1910.
BOARD MAY RAISE
SCHOOL BOND BID
City Likely to Be Asked to In
crease Proposed Issue
of $1,250,000
FRANCIS EXPECTS CROWDING
Superintendent Says Congestion
Can't Be Avoided but Interme
diate Buildings Will Help
Plans to anticipate an expected con
gestion in the public schools will be
discussed at a meeting- of the board of
education to be held Monday evening.
According to Superintendent J. 11.
Francis more money is needed for moro
school buildings and it is altogether
probable that the city council will be
asked to submit to the voters a bond
issue for school purposes of not less
than $1,250,000. The amount asked may
be more than that.
Mr. Francis says that the need is
Imminent; that, in fact, if the money
were available today it would not be
possible to erect school buildings rapid
ly enough to prevent congestion. The
district most in need of primary
schools, he says, Is the southwest.
Then, in order, come the southeast and
the northwest. Residents of the east
tilde are clamoring for a high school.
At present all high school pupils re
siding in that part of the city are com
pelled to cross the river for their in
struction. r
Mr. Francis has a new plan, how
ever, which he believes will go far
toward doing away with congestion in
both grade and high schools and which
will also prove advantageous in other
ways. This Is the erection throughout
the city of what are known as inter
mediate schools, schools which will
take pupils as they enter the seventh
nrofla and carry (horn along for three
years, leaving only a three years
course for the high schools instead of
tho present four years.
SUCCESSFUL IN' TWO CITIES
These intermediate schools are a new
feature of American educational en
deavor. They are in successful oper
ation in Baltimore in the east and in
Berkeley, which is the only coast city
that has tried them. ■-■>■•}.
In addition to doing away with
threatened congestion locally Superin
tendent Francis believes the Interme
diate schools will prove of value in
making the transition between grade
and high schools easier for the pupils.
"We have found," he said last night,
"that pupils entering the high schools
require a very appreciable time to
adapt themselves to the new methods
they flnd there. In the grade schools
there Is no specialization. All subjects
are taught by one teacher and it Is
the business of that one teacher to as
sign lessons and to see that the pupils
learn them. In the high school all
subjects are specialized. 1 One teacher
teaches one thing and another, another.
Thus a teacher in German, for Instance,
will assign a lesson and never see the
pupil again until recitation time comes
around for that bubject. The whole
system is new to the children and lt
takes time for them to adapt them
selves to lt. . ....
"The Intermediate schools begin spe
cialization gradually, ln the seventh
grade. I believe- that Intermediate
schools will ' enable us to reduce the
time required by a.' pupil to go from
the flrst grade through the high school
by a full year and without crowding.
CONGESTION IS INEVITABLE
"The matter probably will be dis
cussed by the board at Monday's meet
ing, together with other plans for meet
ing an expected and inevitable congest
ed condition in all schools, grade and
high.
"There are two grade schools at
present operating on the half-day
basis. These are the school at First
and Boyd and the First Street school
on the east side. Our present enroll
ment shows a gain of 6000 pupils over
last year. If the same rate of increase
is observed the number next year will
'be 7500 greater than it Is now. Wil
mington will need a new school build
ing within the next two or three years
and so will San Pedro. If we were to
begin Immediately we couldn't build
schools in time to avoid congestion.
We shall certainly have outgrown our
high school facilities by next fall.
"There are no funds on hand with
which to erect new school buildings,
and hence the matter of intermediate
schools depends first upon a bond
issue."
Superintendent Francis yesterday
began a tour of inspection which be
fore it Is completed will take him Into
every school district in the city.- He
will base his recommendations for fu
ture school buildings and for additions
to present structures on what he
learns during this inspection.

NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
STANDARD EXPECTS TWO
WELLS IN MIDWAY FIELD
Regal Pumps and Flows 300 Bar

proaches Sand '
TAFT, Nov. 25.—The Standard Is ex
pecting two wells in, namely, No. 3
on section 10 and No. 9 on section 30.
Both should be big wells. '■ -J
No. 9-30 is op the north line of the
section near the half mile post and is
2400 feet deep in the sticky blue clay
which forms the capping for the oil in (
that locality. The probabilities are
that this well will be as great as any
of those at the center ot the section,
one of which made oil at the rate of
14,000 barrels a day for a considerable
period. All the old wells on this lease
have rim down materially, but the
production, nevertheless, is said to be
satisfactory.
The Regal well of the Union on sec
tion 14, 32-23, is pumping and flowing
about 300 barrels a day., Well No. 1 on
the Equitable lease, the west half of
the east half of 14. is down 1730 feet
and nearing the first sand. It will
be continued to the big sand.
The Bedrock, another Union lease
south of the Regal, is down 2635 feet
and going for the second sand. No.
1 of the Alvarado Is 2395 and expected
to get the second sand within 200 feet.
One Of the best wells ln this fleld
of noisy gushers ' which have a ten- ,
dency to attract all the attention, is a 1
flowing well on the Twenty-Five Oil I
company's lease on section 25, 32-23.
It was brought in June 15 and for a |
long time flowed 600 barrels a day, and
is now making 400 barrels, not having
been off the Job for a single minute.
Compared to some of the wells of j
enormous Initial production this is no
great amount of oil, but the chances
are that this hole has yielded more |
money than any big well in the fleld .
of its age. The territory Is compara- j
tively shallow, somewhere between 1200
J and 1300 feet, and hence the cost of
finishing up a well is not great. No. |
9 has produced a total of 75.000 barrels I
in five months which sells at 50 cents i
a barrel.
It has to its credit $37,500 already.
No. 28 well on this lease is another
which flows constantly, but it runs
only between 75 and 100 barrels.
The Twenty-Five Oil company pays :
a dividend of $100,000 each month and
keeps two strings of tools running and ■
is laying by an emergency fund.

OIL SECURITIES LOOK
GOOD TO ENGLISHMEN
"English capitalists regard Califor
nia oil Investments very favorably and
are alive to the wonderful possibili
ties of this state's great industry,"
said J. M. McLeo^ of the Hale-Mc-

"J went abroad to ascertain the at

is a good market for them in Eng

"While in Scotland I visited a re
finery, near Glasgow, where oil is ex
tracted from shale, a ton of the lat
ter yielding about a barrel of lubri
cating oil and a quantity of parafflne
and other light oils. This certainly
was a very different proposition to oil

YARD DECISION WORKS
HARDSHIP ON LEASERS
Cases of Neighboring Outfits Il
lustrates Inconsistency Aris
ing from Interior Ruling
BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 25.—An oil
man possessing an intimate knowledge
of land titles in Kern county called at
tention today to a striking illustra
tion of the effects of the Yard decision.
"The south half of a certain section
in the Midway fleld was reduced by
transfer of interests to the ownership
of one man only and he proceeded to
patent upon discoveries made in pio
neer wells which amounted to little or
nothing as producers. His application
was made before the Yard decision
was rendered and the patent was Is
sued in regular form and in due time.
"On the northwest quarter of the
same section tlie eight locators or
ganized a holding company, transfer-
Ing their whole Interests to it and each
retaining his whole one-eighth of the
stock through a pooling arrangement.
The holding company then leased to
an operator who spent a fortune on
the property and brought in at least
two great wells.
"Application for patent was made
only a few days after the one referred
to above, but the Yard decision inter
vened, proceedings were held up and
patent has not yet been obtained.
"If the land office adheres to the
Yard ruling and if remedial legislation
is not enacted the chances are that the
title of this claim will be secured only
after years of arduous and expensive
litigation. And all because there is
the record of a transfer from the lo
cators to another party which party,
a corporation, was made up wholly of
themselves."

BARRETT SPRINGS MINE
SHIPS ORE TO SMELTER
HUMBOLDT, Nev., Nov. 25.— There
is not a mining camp in Nevada that
has any better showings of ore at the.
grass roots, or from which larger
shipments are being mado than Bar
rett Springs, located only eight miles
West of Winnemucca, in the old Win
nemucca mining district. Already a
number of carload shipments of ore
have been made to the smelter and
teams are busy at the present time
hauling more of tho rock to Winne
mucca for shipment.
These shipments are, of course, the)
best boost a camp can have. But they
are not all, for a great many leasers
are at work there and it will be only
_ short time when the output will be
doubled. Barrett Springs la a camp
with the ore from the grass roots,
making It an ideal one for leasers
and prospectors with limited capital.
A. C. Bullls of the Cole & Bullis
lease on Nineteen Ten ground says
he has purchased a one-half interest
in what is known as the Swede lease,
owned by (ius Bremer and Swan
Predlund, and located on the property
of tho Nineteen Ten company . This
lease is one of the most valuable ln
camp and a shipment of 500 sacks of
ore is being completed today at the
Western Pacific freight depot to be
sent to a smelter at Salt. Lake City.
On this block of ground the ledge has
been exposed In a number of places
by trenches,' tunnels and a shaft, and
in all these openings shipping ore
has been extracted. :
STANDARD OUT TO BUY
OIL IN BIG QUANTITY
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Stand
ard Oil of California has been given
permission by the New York office to
again purchase oil in quantity. Some
time ago the orders were to buy on
daily runs only. The company is now
out for oil and will buy any quantity
which any company Is producing of
lighter oils of the West Side. For 22
gravity 45 cents has been bid within
the last few days. This is better than
the reported bid of the Santa Fe, 40
cents for 19 gravity, with one cent ad
vance for each degree above 19.
Oil operators producing these lighter
oils view the market optimistically;
they believe they will get even more
for their oil, mayhap as high as 50
cents for 20 gravity, in the near future.
