pany the right to extract natural gas,
petroleum, asphaltum, minerals, coal
and coal oil and other gaseous and vol

right to sink and work wells to any

company agrees TO pay a royalty of 10,

These oil lands are situated in the

1t has been known for years that oil
was plentiful in that vicinity, but no
attempt has been made to develop the
vein. At Moody Gulch, some distance
above there. oil wells have been operat-
ed of and on for fifteen years. The
oil Is Of good quality and the output is
shipped to San Francisco. Should these
new fields prove a success il will be a
boom to San Jose, as with cheap fuel
like petroleum this place would be
