More Picacho GLAZING.

San Diego Sun: L. O. Moreland,
Allen j. Smith, A. Caldwell and j. W.
Waters yesterday filed with the re-
corder two placer claims, one under the
name of the Harry P. Leonard claim
and the other under the name of the
Companion claim. The fret embraces
territory Of 46l6 acres and the second
100 acres. Both are located in the Pi-
cacho mining district, near Yuma, W here
to much work has been done lately.
The Yuma Times of July 9Th says that
"the work of setting the boilers at Pi-
cacho has been completed and about a
mile and hall OF the pipe line is laid
The pumps arrived this week and will
be taken up Saturday by the Gila. All
the work is progressing satisfactorily
and the company hopes to get started in
GO days." From indications to be seen
here in the way of locations the Pcacho
region is likely to become the most
famous placer mine region of present
times.

THE OLIVE GROWERS.


Ellwood Cooper Has Something to
Say.
San Francisco Bulletin, July 18th
The olive growers OF California met in
convention in Horticultural hall, 22O
Sutter street, today.
At the opening this morning, Ellwood
Cooper, presiding, spoke of the good be-
ing done humanity by the Olive Grow
ers' association making known by cir
culars and pamphlets the healthful
qualities and medicinal properties OF
pure olive oil.
He called attention also to the pure
olive oil act which was passed by the
last legislature.
If the provisions are strictly enforced
the public. can be certain of securing
pure olive oil. No attempt to enfore the
law could be taken until it was printed
and generally circulated, and that could
not be done until after July lst.
The law is now printed and is being
distributed, and strong effort must be
made to secure its enforcement.
In Italy he found some oil-producers
who were, exhibiting enterprise in their
work, ueing fertilizers and some inn
pTOVou uoCuaulouls Dut IuUbU VI tD6 Eu-
ropean olive-growers are thoroughly
content to proceed as their grandfathers
had done, and considered it sacrilege to
depart from such practices.
OF the labor employed, of the Euro
pean peasant, we can have little appre-
citation. His general characteristic is
his willingness to starve rather than
change the method taught him by his
ancestors.
AS to purity, the speaker gave it as his
profound judgment that there is not q
case OF pure olive oil brought from Eu-
rope. At Bordeaux he made analyses
of the purest oils he could buy. He
found none pure, the best showing over
20 per cent cotton seed.
DR.. A. E. Osborne, superintendent oi
the state home for feeble-minded chill
dren, contributed a paper on the value
of olive oil in disease. Oil is valued
both as lotion, when 1t will aid the
system by means of absorption, and az
medicinal tonic.
In fevers oil is of immeasurable value.
Rubbing the body with oil will surely
reduce the temperature and ease pain.
j. L. Rowland of Pomona, one of the
most successful oil-makers of the state
read paper on percentages of oil to be
obtained from different varieties.
His orchard straight through, taking
all varieties, brought him last year $40(
an acre net.

Old women's Mountain Mines.

San Francisco Call: The first ship
ment of ore, consisting of 20 tons, from
q very rich mine situated in the Old
Women's Mountains, which lie far off
the beaten track in the Colorado Desert,
will arrive today.
The property has been but recently
discovered, and the story of its finding,
like that of many other mines on the
coast, is one Of hardship aud suffering.
Some weeks ago Mortimer O'Byrne,
owner of the Southern Cross and other
mines, and J. D. Barry, started out from
Ehrenburg, on the Colorado river, on q
prospecting trip. These men are
well-known miners, and they deter
mined to strike out for new
ground. Their objective point was
the Old Women's mountains, and with
their outfit packed on four burros they
hoped to be able to push across the
desert quickly and without mishap.
Water, of course, had to be carried, and
gave out before Mount Aracca-or Lone
mountain, as it is generally termed
was reached. They found that 16 loca-
tions had been made, and there was
nothing good enough to detain them
there.
Vending their way northeast from
Mount Aracca they discovered, about
half way across the desert, a beeswax
(horn silver) mine. Barry struck the
lead, but later came across the monu-
ments and notices of previous locators.
The ledge runs only 10 inches in width,
but is very rich. The locators, w. Mack
and G. Houston, both OF San Bernar-
dino, have tor some reason not worked
their find.
Finally, at 73 miles from Blythe's
ranch on the Colorado, the Old Women's
mountains were reached. And here,
also, the water gave out, and both men
suffered so much in consequence that
they thought death surely awaited
them. Leaving O'Byrne in camp-he was
too week to do any ything-Barry hunnted
around, and almost when hope had
deserted him found water. Returning
with canteen-full, the camp was moved
and the work OF prospecting began.
A gold ledge was discovered, from
which the ore to arrive today was taken,
The ledge is of decomposed quartz and
has trend northeast and southwest.
The outcroppings can be traced for over
800 feet, and as the assays of the ore, &C.
cording to the Pueblo and Ell Paso re-
turns, have run 124 ounces to the ton,
with faint traces only of silver and lead,
evidences are in favor OF the mine de.
veloping into valuable property.
A tunnel has been driven into the hill
upon which the mine is situated, tap
ping the ledge over 200 feet below the
summit. Unfortunately both wood and
water are scarce, the water necessary
having to be packed 15 miles. The
transportation rates, too, are very heavy,
the charge per pack animal to Ehren.
berg alone being $40 ton.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks the
two partners are in the city to make ar
rangements for regular shipments to the
Selby works at Port Costa. Later they
will return to their desert mine.

AS to Pegleg,

San Diego Union: Bob Weyms has
sworn to statement regarding the Peg
leg mines. He does not believe any
such mine exists, but that persons who
give out rumors about reported finding
OF the mine are actuated by mercenary
motives. He makes the statement,
which is regularly acknowledged before
G. M. Dannals, notary, to prevent per-
sons from exposing themselves to dan
ger by undertaking trips to find the
alleged lost Pegleg. Weyms ls as famil-
lar with the desert as any man in the
county, and his opinion is valuable.

HOKE AND OKLAHOMA.

Heke Smith and his land commissioner
seem te have gone out of their way in
giving resident applicants of Oklahoma
TO understand that the department of the
interior would not consider the candi-
dacy of any man living in Oklahoma for
any of the new land Office positions. 1t
is not denied that the law permits the
naming Of men Of other states, Dat it
would not be Democratic to do so. Be
sides, Oklahoma seems entitled to fill
her own offices, especially when the
high average intelligence and experience
of her aspiring citizens is taken into the
consideration. Not only should the
governor lie chosen from among her
many competent citizens, but every
other federal position should be filled by
them in preference to importations from
Georgia or elsewhere.

you live in a young commonwealth that
in the marvellous strides of its farms and

out a peer upon the map Of the world.
Have you ever allowed yourself to fret

not glisten in the dew upon the prairie
flowers? Pause and reflect that no soil
upon the continent has responded more
promptly and cheerfully to the call of
intelligent labor.
