. COALINGA, Cal, July 1.-THE
great clusters of ricks and derricks
that dot the Coalinga oil field map
like polka dot shirt are produc-
ing a daily average of $4,000 bar
rels. The total output for 1905
was 8,869,000 barrels, making 1t
the second greatest oil field in the
state. Marvelously rich deposits
just discovered in the extreme
west end of the field indicate that
the Coalinga field is to outproduce
any one field in the world.
Yet the shadow of discourage
ment covers the broad oil region
from end to end. Producers watch
the gushing Of oil with despond-
ency stamped In their counte-
nances. Where there should be
prosperity there Is despair.
Development work is practically
at standstill. A year ago At
strings of tools weer in the field.
Today there are but IL. Seventy
six wells have been closed down.
Shareholders that should be receiv-
ing dividends are paying assess
ments.
II you ask the producer the
workman--for an explanation he
will describe great profit-eating
monster controlled by John ID.
Rockefeller. 1t is called the Oil
Octopus. and its keeper never al
lows 1t to fast. 1t talks the oil
field in tenacle with a younger
creature, nicknamed the Associated
Oil Co, which Commissioner Of
Corporations Garfield believes to
be almost identical with the South
ern Pacific Railroad Co. He points
out, too. that the tSandard is a
controlling factor in the Southern
Pacific.
This master combination of the
Standard Oil Co. Operating under
the name of the Pacific Coast Oil
Coz and the only railroad tapping
the various oil fields, prohibits Cal
ifornia from deriving the proper
ton Of prosperity she should
through being able to produce over
100000 barrels Of oil annually.
In Coalinga, as in all the fields
| of the state, the Stndard- Associat-
ed combination fies the prices NTH
ed combination fixes the price the
producer must accept for his oil.
The only alternative is to go out of
the oil business. The combination,
IL indeed, a combination was neces-
sary, is In position to force the
producer to their prices; first, by
controlling the pipe lines that tap
the field: second, by having a Sc
cret railroad rate of which the pro-
Queer of Independent dealers know
nothing.
"A striking instance of discrim-
nation In California was that of a
secret rate of 50,4 cents per barrel
on crude oil from Bakersfield to
San Diego. at time when the tar
III rate was 92.7."

WORK ON THE
GREAT BEND

The Great Bend company Is now
mainly engaged In sinking its shaft
down to 500 feet on the incline and a
depth Of 200 feet has thus far been at
tanned The vein carries large bodies of
good milling ore, so far as exposed, and
is from IS to 80 feet in width with clear,
well-defined walls and the rock well in
place. The present purpose is to sink
to 500 feet
The heavy flow of water has become
one of the chief difficulties with which
the management has to contend IN the
development OF this property. About
1000 gallons per hour are being pumped
out at tho present time, which easily
takes care of the flow. The company is
now figuring upon installing steam
station pump at the 300-foot level and
al the J00-foot level an electric station
pump.
At 200 feet a crosscut is being run
from the shaft to the ledge south there
from and this will probably be struck
within Is feet on this south ledge a
shaft has been sunk so feet and TO
6-foot vein exposed. The rock showed
up exceedingly well and shipment was
made. 1t is mostly high grade. Great

The widening of the proven ore zone
OF the Goldfeld district in southeast
erly direction is made manifest by n
development of exceptional Importance
in the ground of the c. O. ID. company
The c. o. l.. Leasing company has
been hammering away for some weeks
without encoura cement until tho So
foot point was reached. There. sui
phides We're encountered. but not of
sufficient quantity or value to make a
showing. except to encourage further
sinking
The important development came at
12O feet when the sulphides grew more
numerous and contained less sulphur
and iron and more OF the mueh-sought
yellow metal. An average was taken
across the bottom and the returns from
the assayer were S22.40. The next day
there was an apparent Improvement at
least SO far as the quantity and the
sheen of the sulphides are concerned, al
though the assay returns are not pro
curable The inference is that the i'm
provement is a substantial one.
The strike was made but 200 feet
from the Gold Bar shaft. The ore wa
obtained at depth of 100 feet. The
Gold Bar is ten feet higher to start with
and this has caused Superintendent and
Manager W. T. Graves to direct that
the c. o. D. go to a depth of 200 feet
before starting crosscut. In the
meantime the Gold Bar Is drifting on
the 1870 level and is well within c. o. D.

of our people to place the group, as soon
as possible, under one comprehensive
scheme on operation.
ITO this end a shaft was started on
the Miss Jessie ground of the Laguna
group last Wednesday. 1t is a double
compartment The company also started
a three-eompartment shaft on the jun
bo acreage on Tuesday and two shifts
are employed on each These shafts
will be connected up with present work
ings and operations will be centered
upon very few openings, by which
means a most thorough mode of work
will result.

the copy for the foregoing and asked to
pass upon it, I'VE will prevent any pos
sibility of a financial slump in the
stock market, and any depression in
business as well. from a reduction in
the number of miners employed on the
expiration of the leases, as we will be
rushing work on the shafts and begin
connecting levels before the end of the
year. The company will connect the
Hayes Monnette with the Mohawk shaft
and arrange for tram connection with
all the leases, many of which are al
ready Joined underground, so that the
extraction of ore at the present rate
will not only be sustained, but probably
will be increased Immediately when the
company comes into possession 1t is
a certainty that Tonopah's unfortunate
experience will not be repeated here"

profit even at that, for Jumbo is now
selling at about $5.

VELVET FAST
MAKING INTO A
GREAT MINE

The lease owned by c. H. Warner and
Captain Hassell on the Velvet seems to
be on the eve of important developments.
The appearance of the country rock on
the $50 level is an exact replica OF that
in the Mohawk. The Velvet vein was
lost by an extensive fault which the
lessees have reason TO believe they are
picking up. The rock in the face OF the
drift is heavy in iron and shows copper
stain. Arrangements are being made to
extend this lease for a year and SIX
months.
Captain Hassell and Mr.. Warner are
also leasing on the Jumbo Extension
ore of low grade was encountered rev
days ago 1t is similar in characteristics
to Frances Mohawk.
Claude M Smith, president OF the
company. went out to the Velvet ground
Yesterday and viewed the progress OF
work on the leases. He corroborates
the statement of Captain Hassell to the
effect that the fault in the Velvet has
been defined and that a continuance OF
the ore body is established, with assur-
ance that it will be broken into on the
drift at any moment.

While the appreciation in price of
some of the low selling stocks is not so
sensational as the leap in the producing
properties, the proportionate advance is
equally great in cases attaining to 200

While some of these stocks may be-
