 "Wednesday last J. c. Carter, G. H. Hoyt and E. A. Shaw returned from the oil fields near Littlefeld, in the northwestern part of this county, The, located large tract of land and brought back with them samples of the blossom rock that shows a large impregna,lon of asphaltum. They say that al that section is being rapidly covered by locations and that soon a we'll is to be sunk to test the territory. Las Veyas men have located large tracts surrounding them, as also have oil men from Los Angeles. They be, heve they have as good lands as can be found in the upper Virgin field.

Tn values in lead are too low to admit ( smelting without mixing with lea ores that would have to be purchase in the market and other methods ( reduction are to be tried. It is sai that the average values of the ores the mines run well above POS, whic would give gross value to the ore sight of 6O,000,00O$. Payments ha, been made on some of the outsi( claims and in October other paymen will be made on inside propertie All tests and experiments will be co ducted with great care, but regardle of results the sale of the big proper is assured. There is nothing on u Pacific coast that will approach tn great property in point of values, a possibility, and possibility of openil up still greater ore bodies. The o now remaining in the mine are on the lower grades left by the comp nies operating the properties in t
