nue. and First street, there are a dozen or
more wells at various stages of omple-
| ton. Down at the eastern end is anoth
| er center of activity. The wells usually
| keep within q limited territory until
some caring prospector sinks mole off
on the border, and if he is successful the
locality a bout his we'll is soon settled up
with derricks; or, in case of failure. his
own derrick stands alone to bear witness
that no oil is there.
There has not been enough of this pros
pecting done to WIDEN the field as it
should be.
Information was received yesterday Of
company which intends to make n
prospect hole about two miles from the
present field upon acreage property.
After one or two such attempts have
been made and the direction and extent
OF the oil belt demonstrated, the industry

put in shape tor pumping.
While the pump was being pulled IN

thing is now in readiness for drilling at
the site of the doctors new well, below
tho spouter.
Nelson No. . is about completed.
Tubing was put in yesterday.

A Juryman's Opinjon

SAN . FRANCISCO. Nov. 1.-Warren
Dutton. foreman of the Durrant jury,
looked as if great burden had just been
lifted from him when seen at his home
tonight.
THE testimony of the prosecution did
not appear to be contraaIcied." he saiu
in discussing the case. "Durrant was
traced step bv step from Powell street to
the church. and where so many people
saw him felt sure that all could not be
mistaken. They impressed me as honest
people and their testimony carried him
right to the church. That was the strong
point that impressed me.
Then he told the story OF repairing
the lighting contrivance of the church.
The testimony showed that his hair was
disheveled bis ewes red and his fee pale.
Experts gave evidence that had he be,
overcome by gas his face would have be-
flushed. These things bore themselv,s
IN on me, as did his going down the
Rack stairs instead ofthe front. l thought
he did that because he knew that King
was y the lower room. He could not
explain it in any other way.

The attitude of Les Angeles, which on
all proper occasions works for her own
local interests and maintains in many
directions an active rivalry with San
Francisco. is typical OF this general APP
probation of the state wide Importance
OF the convention fight. Los Angeles has
sprung to the assistance of San Fran
cisco with the same energy that has been
so effective III her own advancement to
metropolitan rank. The Herald of that
place urges the Importance of ''immed
ately taking such action rs will make
Los Angeles, the metropolis of the south,
party to the undertaking with the me
tropolis Of the north" and continues:
In this work The Herald, as the repre-
sentative journal of Southern California.

Southern California must share in the
battle for 1t, that she may share in the

people do theirs?
That is the sort of talk that counts.
California is great state, and there is

The Verdict Approved

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1.-The PEG
pie OF the city are almost as much ca
cited over the verdict in the Durrant case
as they were when the horrible Emanuel
church murders were first discovered.
For months the Durrant case has been
the all-absorbing topic here. and every
phase OF the most sensational trial in the
history of the Pacific coast he been fol-
lowed with close attention. While some
few of Dur'ant's friends profess to believe
that it was mi possible for him to commit
the crimes, the general verdict is that he
is guilty and should hang.
The verdict of the jury was annunoced
just in time for the evening papers. and
in an incredibly short time extra editions
were On tho streets. Crowds gathered
about bulletin boards in varions parts OF
the city and general satisfaction was ex.
pressed that the arch-criminal of the
century had been convicted.
