CONCERNING OIL PROSPECTS.
The Bakersfield Californian says Of
the oil prospects in the Grand prop
erty:
H. Pennington, general manager Of
the Grand Oil Company, who has just
returned from the East, says that his
company is going to proceed to drill
on its well on 34-12-21 in East Sunset.
1t is also preparing the ground for
reservoir. The company has not yet
struck oil in paying quantities, but it
has the best indications and during a
lull in the drilling operations Mr.. Pen
nington decided to utilize his men in
reservoir work, being confident that he
will have use for the oil receptacle
later
THE company has also acquired an
other quarter section of land on 12-11-
Il, making three quarter sections
now owned by the Grand. A quarter
section on section adjoining this last
has been secured by a company of
Wisconsin capitalists. who are expect
ed to undertake some development
work. These properties are within two
miles of the oil spring"
The Sonora Independent, speaking Of
the Sell mine in Tuolumne County, re-
ports:
I'VE were shown Monday an exceed
ingly handsome specimen of gold and
quartz all sDrinkled over with a teIlu-
ride of gold. At a rough guess there
was probably $500 in the rock, besides
small sack containing more. but not
so rich, that was found at the same
time. We are pleased that Divoll &
Fulcher are getting on to the yellow
metal again. They deserve all they
get for their perseverance in their con-
tinual development of the mine The
present find may result in a good-sized
pocket, for when a vein throws out
such golden ore as We have seen the
end is not yet"
The following item is taken from the
Jackson Ledger:
"At the Wide Awake mine. which is
in Railroad Flat mining district. Gala
ClelS N<OQhlS, d pCCulldI state OF dIIdl1S
is presented. The ore assays $40 and S11
per ton, but several milling tests have
proved unavailing in saving more than
from so cents to 81 per ton. The tall
ings show gold value of about $40. If
any method can be devised to save a
fair percentage of the gold the prop
erty may be made remunerative one.
The rock is not evidently of the free
milling character. George I. Wright
has had an expert from San Francisco
visit the mine recently, an experienced
assayer and mineralogist, who after
thorough examination gave it as his
opinion that the ore might be treated
by the cyanide process. The manage
ment has decided to fix up a small
plant to test this treatment. An as
sessment of one cent per share has been
levied for this purpose. The ore differs
materially in character from other gold
ores in that vicinity. There is little
doubt some method can be devised to
recover the gold. The problem may
take little time and involve consld-
cradle experimenting to solve"

SPOUTERS RIFE
IN THE STATE
Great Flow Of Natural Gas
and Oil Reported From
Many Points in California
FOREIGN MARKET OPENS
Important Decision in Min
ing Litigation Is Made
by United States Court

Oil and natural gas appear to be
holding the center of the mineral stage
at present. Gushers of both the fluid
and the vapor have been coming up
the wells in different localities Of
the southern portion, of this
State. 1t is reported from the Coalinga
oil fields that a few days ago a stream
of oil suddenly burst 100 feet in air
from a we'll shaft, covering the der
ricks with the fluid. The strike was
made at a depth of 1880 feet and is
expected to yield 1000 barrels a day.
Another gusher is reported in the
oil fields of the jacksonville Oil Com
pany at Sargent's ranch, Santa Clara
County When the oil stratum was
perforated by the drill the tremendous
pressure forced the geyser of oil high
toward the top of the derrick
The Santa Monica Times, speaking of
its section Of Santa Barbara County,
says
The Union Sugar Company will be-
gin drilling for oil on its premises in
the vicinity of the peninsula that ex-
listed before the lake dried up. Work
on the rig is under way. Mr.. Tolbutt
will have charge of the drill.
The Western Union COmpany's test
well is down $500 feet and the pump
is to be applied to-day. The oil is So
degrees or better and exists in great
quantity. This is by far the deepest
we'll in California.
The Southern Pacific Company has
let contract to Mr.. Stell to go down
another 1000 feet or until oil is reached
The well is now 2001 feet deep and has
a strong flow of gas. The opinion pre-
walls among oil men that a fine we'll
will be got

IOWA SHIPS CORN
TO THE ORIENT
EXTENSIVE SHIPMENTS by THE
WAY OF MINNEAPOLIS.
Billing Is to the Philippines, but the
Impression Is General that the Corn
Will Be Unloaded in Japan-First
Shipments of the Kind Made from
the State to the Ear East.

Special to The journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Dec 19.-Iowa corn to the
extent of hundreds Of thousands Of bushels Will
be shipped by the way Of Minneapolis and Omaha
this year to the Pacific coast. 81
The war in the Orient and the need of food
stuff in the Philippines are responsible for the
turn in the tide of shipment from the east to
the west. The first shipment has just been
made by the Mcneil agency, a well-known firm
OF track buyers, who have routed 125 cars Of
corn by the Great Northern and Great Northern
Transportation company's steamship lines thru
the W. b. Morgan company, also track buyers,
haev orders for over 500 cars Of corn. The
billing for all these corn shipments is to go to
the Philippines, but an impression exists that
the corn will go to the Japanese.
The shipments being made are the first
that have been made directly from Iowa thru
Pacific coast points to the far east. Corn has
always gone east from Iowa, either to New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Newport News or out the
st. Lawrence river. Two years ago shipment
