1t Is reliably reported that the
orders for the pipe for the Union
Gas company lines from West Vir-
ginia gas fields to Ohio cities has
been placed. The orders are the
largest ever given, and the price
for pipe and fittings alone, 1t Is
said, will reach upwards of three
and a half million dollars. Mr..
Barnsdall, the promoter and princi'
pal holder OF tie stock, has under.
taken the greatest natural gas en-
terprlse In the world and as he is
backed by vast amount of terri
tory from which to draw his supply
OF gas the investment seems based
on a solid foundation.
Mr.. Barnsdall Is the most active
Individual oil producer In the
world-others may lay claim to the
same distinction-and now his gas
enterprise will give him additional
fame and wealth. Theodore IS the
biggest of them all.

low until they no longer hoped for
prices which the markets OF the
world really justify.
Their experience inIsearching for
profitable territory to operate has
during the past FIVE years been
but encouraging. Lower
prices for crude oil will certainly
curtail operations which except In
one or two localities of minor i'm
portance are already on the wane.
In West Virginia there are thou
sands of acres of 10 to IS barrel
territory which is awaiting the ad-
vance so long expected in the prize
for oil to be developed. This class
of territory being mostly confined
to districts where deep drilling Is
required Is not profitable at pres
ent prices. Crude prices must ad
vance so that the light territory
can be pro6tably operated or a
further decline In production will
surely come. There Is no justice
in giving one end of the oil indus.

advance In crude of cents per

Mines and Minerals of Arizona

Bloomer, who had relocated it. Mr. Wieherly is now general manager of the company and during the past few months there have been no idle days there. He has enlarged the old shaft fitting it for a regular working shaft 6xS, and already has ore enough blocked out to keep the coming twenty stamp mill running for ten or twelve months. A pumping plant has been in- stalled and a tkree-mile pipe line from Centenial wash. and the requisite water tanks are already in place. The hoist ing works are by this time erected. and much of the machinery of the twenty stamp mill is on the ground, while the remainder is arriving as fast as rail roads and freight teams can haul it. As soon as they are in a position to know what process is needed g cyanide plant will follow.
 In short MT. Burson and his friends do not believe in the practice that has been too common in Arizona of buy ing a mine and then letting it lie idle year after year. They know they have good property, for over S10O,O 900 have been taken out of the old Socorro and milled in the old Harris mill, and they intend to get out their ore and mill it just as long as it lasts, which. from appearances, will De longer than day after tomorrow.

BILL WILLIAMS FORK
Engineers Will Shortly Begin Survey
 of the Dam Site.

It is learned from parties more or less interested in the project, and who have been enduring their souls in pa tience for To, these many months, that active work is soon to be inaugurated on the great dam of the Bill Williams Fork Power and Water company, says the Prospect. Doc J. A. Park, for mer agent for the old company. is au thOritE for the statement that en- gineers will soon be in the field to make the final survey. The dam site is at the head of Striped canyon, five miles below the junction of the Sandy and the Santa Maria. Here it is pro- posed to build a dam 125 feet in height which will back the water up for six miles. coming within four miles Of the old Raw Hide mine. and complete ly submerging the old smelter. From this head water will be conducted across the great Plomosa desert, where there are thousands of acres of the richest farming land in the world. If the project is successful those broad desert plains will. in a few years, be covered with flourishing farms, where oranges, dates, figs, olives. castor beans and all the semi-tropic fruits will be produced in abundance.
 But this is not ali. There are many miles of a cement deposit along :he base of the Plomosa mountains, which is rich in coarse gold. The Mexicans have been working it in their crude way for forty years. They sink shafts twelve to fourteen feet in this cement, bring it to the surface and pound it up. Then they wash out the gold in their pans. In this way thousands upon thousands of dollars nave been ob- tained. The advent on the scene of water in quantity will change all this and perhaps make Plomosa desert the richest section in Arizona.

MRS. ROBERT J. BURDETTE.
Wife of the Humorist Lectured in His
 Stead at Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids turned out a flattering audience to Robert J. Burdette last night The spacious Auditorium was filled to it's capacity. A large audience in the afternoon enjoyed a lecture and a surprise Robert J. Burdette was to talk to the children on the subject of Little FoXes,' but his train was late and he arrived from St. Paul. Minn., at 5:30. Mrs. Burdette, who came on from Minneapolis. where she addressed several hundreds of clubWomen, ar rived in the city at 1:30 o'clock and lec- tured in place of MT. Burdette. Al though the celebrated humorist is q prime favorite here, those who heard the lecture yesterday afternoon were apparently not sorry that he missed the train. Mrs. Burdette is a woman of charming personality. She is earn est intelligent and gives one the in stant impression of being first last and always womanly woman.
 Her talk yesterday afternoon was in- formal and altogether interesting. She said: Tt is Mir. Burdette's philosophy that all true humor is born of pain, sorrow and disappointment; so I think that out of the disappointment of not hearing MT. Burdette we ought to have a pretty good time." Her lecture she said, would be a sort of verbal bio graph; that she would give verbal pie lures of young life as she had seen it in many parts of the world. She said she would tell the stories and leave the imagination to make the connections between them. She gave vivid and charming pictures of child life as she had seen it in Damascus, in the Nile country, in Jerusalem. in mission schools, in Italy. Germany, France and other places in which she had visited with MT. Burdette in Europe, Asia and Africa. She not only told the stories. but wove into the narrative a deeper significance of the value of character and the elements which go to the mak- ing or marring of it. Every story had it's own lesson, which was very adroitly and gracefully pointed.
 Mrs. Burdette also told the young people about her especial fad, which is collecting bells. She said that bells had played an important part in his tory. That in the past they had rung in and rung out great events, and there was much in association which was in teresting. Mrs. Burdette is a capital story teller, and there is a deeper un- dercurrent to the lighter veins of her talk which makes all that she says doubly interesting and instructive.
 After the lecture a number of club women called upon Mrs. Burdette at the Morton house. Mrs. Burdette is president of the California Federation of Women's clubs. and will be the host ess for California at the biennial which will he held in Los kOrp1aS in May Mrs. Burdette has talked to clubwomen in twenty-five states since November 1, and is extending a cordial greeting and invitation from California women, and extending in their behalf a per sonal invitation to the convention.- Grand Rapids Herald.
