MINING AND OIL
ARIZONA ASBESTOS BEDS
MAY SOON BE EXPLOITED
United States Leads All Coun
tries in Use of Product
Quarried in Canada"
; — , y.O I
Asbestos in large quantity Is said to
iiave been discovered recently in tho
northern part of Yuma county, Arizona,
and there Is now a movement to mine
these deposits ijor commercial'pur
poses. '■' .
The United States has for years led
all other countries in the manufacture
of .asbestos goods, but until recently
all the raw asbestos used has been
imported from Canada, where there
are nineteen quarries and mills, hav
ing a capacity of 8250 tons of rock a
day and employing in summer more
than 3000 persons. ' • .';-■'
A feature of the asbestos industry
of 1909 was a combination of Canadian
producers in the Amalgamated Asbes
tos corporation (ltd.) and the forma
tion or the International Asbestos as
sociation, an organization Including
mine owners in Canada and manufac
turers in the United States.
No asbestos of the higher grade
(serpentine asbestos, or chrysotile) was
mined in the United States until 1908,
but in that y^ar Vermont produced
some chrysotile and in 1909 mined a
larger quantity, amounting to nearly
one-tVentletli of the Canadian output.
Chrysotile asbestos has been mined in
small quantities in Wyoming during the
present year.
Asbestos is soluble in acids and In
combustible, Is a poor conductor of heat
and electricity, and la not affected by.
dampness, so that It Is applied to many
purposes. It is used for building mate
rial, pipe coverings, shingles, insulat
ing tapes and boards, fireproof ropes
and curtains, packing for fireproof
safes, and packing for steam engines,
as well as in paint and cement.
The United States Geological sur
vey has Just published a report on
the production of asbestos in 1909, by J.
S. Diller, showing the production, Im
ports, prices, and trade conditions dur
ing the year as well as the foreign pro
duction and trade conditions. The re
port contains also notes on the, known
asbestos deposits of the United States.
In 1909 the production of asbestos in
Vermont was 200 per cent and that of
Georgia about 25 per cent more than In
1908. Mr. Diller urges that the search
for chrysotile asbestos be continued
among the ancient crystalline metamor
phlc rocks in the United States.
The report can be abtained free by
applying to the director of the survey
at Washington.
McKITTRICK AND LOST
HILLS TEN MILES APART
BAKERSFIELD, Deo. B.—Gradually
tho gap between North McKlttrlck and
the southern end of the Lost Hills field
in closing, and now a mater of little
more than ten miles remains j between
the pioneers on the two fronts. Among
the farthest south of the Lost Hills
prospectors Is W. O. LaGrange and his
associates, who are erecting a rig on
section 6, 28-22. This is nearly ten miles
southeast of the original Lost Hills
strike on section SO, 26-21. It < has
been creditably reported that oil has
been struck In township 27-22 at the
same shallow depth as in other parts
of the Lost Hills field.
In general, however, there Is no
small degre of skepticism concerning
the production and durability of the
Lost Hills field, and up to the present
there has been no disposition on tho
part of operators to furnish the, pub
lic with the details of their strikes.
The Lakeshore well is the only one
which the public has been Invited to
see pumped, and the Associated has
gone to he other extreme of posting
a notice forbidding admittance to its
camp on section 14, 25-20, where it is
drilling with a standard rig. Whether
this secrecy Is due to a desire to con
ceal a strike or to conceal the absence
of a strike Is a question on which oil ]
men differ.
The common belief, however, seems
to be that the Associated has gone
through a thin stratum of shallow oil
and now is going down after what
may be beneath. Most oil men antici
pate that the next oil sand will be at
a considerable, if not a great, depth.
LOCATES WELL SITE
Emmette E. Nott, secretary-treasurer
of the Los Angeles Midway Oil com
pany, returned from the field yester
day. During his absence he located
a site for the company's first well on
section 6, 31-23, where drilling wil be
started soon. : 4w-> >
Mr. Nott says on property surround
ing that of his company, the Midway
Pacific has gone down 1200 feet in
thirty days. The Ted rands Is down
1000 feet, t Tho Union Oil company is
down 2000 feet and already has all In
dications of'bringing In a big well.
PRINCESS DOWN 800 FEET
The Princess Oil company, adjoining
the property of the Santa Maria Mid
way Oil company, Is down 800 feet In
well. No. 1, and the log shows the for
mation to be identical with that of tho
producing Palmer properties. The geo
logists all agree that this part of tho
Held is oil bearing. The Santa Maria
Midway company is getting ready to
drill its first well at once. , V --.-A

NEW PALMER WELL TO
BE PUT ON THE PUMP
Experts Agree Producer Should
Rival Old Company Standby.
Santa Maria News „
The center of Interest In the Santa
Maria Held is at present the Palmer
well No. 48, which has been completed
at the depth of 2»92 fe>t. The casing
has just been perforated, and the well
Is being balled In preparation for the
pump. Expert opinions based on the
indications agree that this well will
p obably rival the famous Palmer No.
2B In production. The pay sand is
thicker than that of the latter and the
gas pressure is very strong.
Well No. IB is still keeping up its
steady flow of between 1600 and 1700
barrels a day. y „ *
Well No. 2, the Palmer's second
gusher, was closed several months ago
owing to the fact that the pipe lines
were at that time unable to handle the
production and was then producing
8000 barrels a day. It has now been
reopened and Is pumping between 300
and 400 barr;?s, the amount Increasing
every day. Considerable sand accumu
lated In the well during the shutdown,
and as soon as this Is cleared the flow
will Jump up to 8000 barrels again.
Well No. 3B has been on the pump
only thirty days, during which time it
has produced between 300 and 400 bar
rels a day. The amount Is daily In
creasing, like all new wells In this lo
cality, and is liable to Jump Into th*
gusher class almost any day. There Is
a gas pressure of 6 0 pounds to the
square Inch In this well, and the Indi
cation points to a flow eventually that
will rival that of No. 2.
No. 6B Is going down steadily, and la.
in blue shale at a depth of 1800 feet.
No. 6B Is down 875 feet in sand. No.
73 is cementing off, and tiio rig is
standing for No. 83.
Prospects for the Palmer Junior
property are said to be most encourag
ing. Well No. 1 was cementing the 8%
--inch casing yesterday at 2600 feet, and
will without doubt prove the territory
between It and the Palmer producing
wells. Well No. 2 in this tract has Just
been cemented at a depth of 900 feet. '<
The Palmer Senior Is soon to come in
for Its share of development work, and
material for drilling well No. 1 Is now
being hauled to the ground. -

PASADENA BANKER'S SON
DIVORCED FOR CRUELTY
Wife Objected to Woman Guest
and Also Asserted Post
Struck Her
On a charge of extreme cruelty.
which was not contested, Jessica L.
Post yesterday was granted a decree of
divorce from .Tun us S. Post, son of
Charles N. Post, formerly president of
the Post Publishing company, a music
concern of Chicago, anil now vice presi
dent of the Pasadena National bank.
Before Judge Hervey of the superior
court Mrs. Post told the story of her
married life. She and Post were mar
ried in Ch'cago June 12, 1902, and one
child, a daughter, Janice L. Post, 7
years old, has been born to them.
Upon their marriage, Mrs. Post said,
her husband's father gave them a ranch
valued at $25,000, near Lancaster, in
the Antelope valley, this county, and
allowed them* $250 a ! month besides.
There they kept "open house," she said.
She dec'ared that finally her husband
began calling- her vile names, and once
struck her with his first. !
In the course of the "open house"
keeping, Mrs. Post asserted, her hus
band took to their home a Miss Snyder*,
said to be in his employ. The wife
could endure such treatment no longer,
she said, and so she ordered Miss Sny
der to leave the house. At that, she
asserted, her husband made her apolo
gize to the woman.
Finally, September 4 of this year, she
was violently attacked by Post, she al
leges, he not only threatening to kill
her but actually discharging a revolver
at her.
A decree of divorce was granted Mrs.
Post, together with the custody of the
child and- alimony of $100 a month.

CITY DREDGE CHANNEL
Gardena Complains Pre-Consoll
dation Election Pledges for

Unkept pre-consolldatlon pledgee were
brought to the attention of the coun- I
ell yesterday from two sources; from!
Wilmington people who want the city |
! to go on with the dredging of the
I channel of Wilmington harbor, as it
promised to do before Wilmington be-:
came a part of the city, and from G. '
1.. Soese of Gardena, who says he would i
like to be convinced that the pre-an- i
nexatlon promises were something .
more than mere vote getters. He
wants at least ten of the many lights j
that were promised to Gardena. He j
says the little city is now lighted only i
by a shy and sometimes absent moon
and ho likes his Illumination a little j
more dependable.
The harbor complaint was sent to
the harbor committee, President Lusk j
explaining that Councilman Stewart, I
! who is the member of the harbor com- ]
mittee, was also a member of the con
solidation committee that made the un- '
kept pledges and he wanted to see if;
Mr. Stewart could keep promises as ;
well as make them. The light com-1
i plaint went to the light committee.
WHIFFEN GETS MONEY FOR
THE NEW CITY HALL ANNEX
F. J. Whiffen, councilman and chair
man of the building committee, reached
down into Councilman Washburn's city
safety deposit vau t yesterday and took
out $6000 for his city hail annex. He
did it while Washburn was wideawake
and protesting with all his might, but
' to no avail.
: Washburn is chairman of the finance
committee. Anyone who gets a dollar
that Washburn does not think should
be paid out of the treasury without a
club or chloroform surely is entitled to
it. Whiffen wanted $20,000 for his city
hall annex in the [budget, but he finally
secured $12,000 as an appropriation. Bat
the annex that Whiffen wanted could
not be built for $12,000. The lowest bid
for it was $17,146. i
Washburn is a member of Whiffen's
building committee and so is Gregory.
Whiffen wrote a report asking that
$6000 be appropriated from the general
expense fund to make up the deficiency,
but Washburn and Gregory would not
sign it with him and he was forced to
present it as a minority report. The
council adopted his report, only Stewa t
and Washburn voting against It, and
at the same time ordered the contract
awarded to the lowest bidder.

SAN PEDRO STREET TO BE
PAVED, ALISO TO FIFTH ST.
The ordinance of Intention for ths [
paving of San Pedro street, from Allso
to Fifth, was adopted by the city coun
cil yesterday and an improvement that
has been hung up for months from ono |
cause or another was started. j
The specifications provide for leaving
a strip twenty-one feet wide from Aliso
to Fourth, down the center of the street
without pavement because it is ex
pected the i Pacific Electric will be
granted a franchise for this distance
and the railroad will have to pay for
that part of the work. The uncovered
strip is to be graded and graveled.
The application for the franchise is
pending.
TO CONSIDER PAYMENT OF
50 POLICE SIGNAL BOXES
The supply committee and the fire
commission will consider jointly the de
mand of N. Banks Cregler for payment
for his fifty police signal boxes. The
Joint meeting of these bodies will be
held this afternoon.
It Is expected that a controversy will
arise over the matter because J. C.
Perry, superintendent,of fire alarm and
police signal bureau, has reported the
boxes do not conform to the specifica
tions. He says that It was necessary
to change the system in the central of
fice to carry the boxes and that thero
is not enough insulation in the boxes.
