NOW BELIEVED 1T WILL BE SUP
PLYING OUR CITY.
BY MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER
Secretary Garfield Enlightened IN the
Matter While on His Visit to
Ardmore-hon. S. T. Bledsoe
Says II viii Be Here.

The time when all of the manu-
featuring enterprises OF the city as
well as the business houses. and res
licences will use natural gas is not
as far off, as the kicker and knock
er would nave you believe. As was
stated in the Ardmoreite, exclusively
sometime since, Mr.. Bledsoe went tn
Washington for the purpose of get
ting all the matters concerning the
right of way over inalienable land
Strengthened out. but ON account of
the absence of the secretary at the
time, was unable to do so. Howev-
er, the other day when Mr. Garfield
was in the city he was waited on by
Mr.. Bledsoe and gave him the assur-
ance that as soon as he returned to
Washington the papers would be sign.
ed
Just as soon as the papers are re-
turned the construction of the pipe
line will be begun and gas propably
piped into Ardmore uy Nov / or
Nov. 10. the latest.
Mr.. Bledsoe had the following to
say this morning on the proposition
that is self-eXplanatory
Il went to Washington and present
| ed on behalf of the Ardmore Gas
Company its application for its pipe
line right of way from Ardmore tC
| the Wheeler oil fields. | first pre-
sented it to the commissioner of In
dian affairs who approved 1t within
an hour after its presentation. i
was then sent over to the Office o
the secretary of the interior. Tn,
| secretary himself was absent, and 81
was every assistant except Mr.. Wood
ruff The person to whom the appli
| cation was referred suggested som,
conditions to be attached to th'
granting of the right of way, whicl
conditions were not acceptable to th'
gas company. The right of way woul'
have been approved at once If thu
company had accepted these con
ditions. AS 1t was not willing to aC
cept tehm, the matter had to be pass
ed awaiting the return of the secre
tary.
In my Judgment, upon the return
of the secretary the right of way vii
be granted upon such conditions "A
will be acceptable TO the gas compa
ny.
THE gas company has acquired
and paid for all OF the ahenable righ
of way. 1t has arranged to secure 1t
pipe, 1t has made contract for tn
purchase of its gas and givew a
bond In the sum of ten thousand do
lars with the surety company. whic
1t has fully indemnified, condition
ed that It will purchase and pay 70
million feet of gas per day begin
, ming not later than the first day
December. 1907.
Il regard it as practically certai
that Ardmore will have an abundar
, supply of natural gas before the II
teenth lay of November, and | b.

MOVES ITS PUMPING STATION
And Leaves No Market for the Local

Crude OIL is Worthless.

Topeka. Aug 2.-Information that
leads to the belief that the Standard
OIL company is trying to destroy a
prosperous Kansas oil field was re-
ceived in Topeka today when II be.
came known that the company had
abandoned its pumping station In
Paola, that crude oil from that field
had been refused and the price fore.
ed down to the figures paid In other
sections of the state. rhe refinery at
faola has changed hands recently
and since that time the new owners
have refused to purchase the oil from
the wells. II is said that 100 tanks
in the Paola field are full Of oil ready
for delivery. but that the abandon.
ment of the market makes the oil
practically worthless.
Three years ago. when the Stand.
ard oil company was paying Sl.32
barrel for Kansas oil and causing the
territory to he developed. the Paola
field entered the list of the high
grade oil producing centers. The
town was on a general boom. caus.
ed by the incoming investors. Der.
ricks dotted every farm in Bull creek
valley.
The ugar Creek pipe line passed
through Paola, carrying its 10000
barrels OF Kansas oil every day to
the Kansas City refinery. \ pumping
station was erected to receive the
oil II was said that this field pro.
duced the highest grade of oil In the
state.
Attracted by the state laws pro.
tecting independent refineries, one OF
these Independent industries was
built into Paola Several men put
money into the concern. and they
paid ten cents more barrel than
the Standard for the oil. Several of
the producers sold their entire out
put of oil to the Independent refin.
cry and the rest sold their to the
Standard pumping station.
Then the pirces of crude oil were
reduced by the Standard. The Paola
field suffered like every other COM
munity of producers in the state.
| These conditions continued the same
until this spring. when the Paola in

owners They came from Whiting

chemists came from Whiting. Ind.
The Standards largest oil refinery Is
at Whiting, Ind.
Immediately following the prr-
chase of the independent refinery,
the Standard oil company took its

THAW DEFENSE
IS INSANITY
Counsel Decides On that Plan After
Careful Study of His Mental
Condition.

New York. Oct. 3i.~~Announce-
ment was made today that insanity
is TO be the plea In the defens Of
Harry Thaw, whose second trial for
the Staying OF Stanford White will
begin on December next.
Martin w. Iittloton. chief counsel
for Thaw. It Is stated has decided
on this course. He IL said TO be
convinced that Thaw r. insane and
has not adopted this course aa mere
w theory on which to conduct q
successful defense, but because he
feels certain OF the unsound mental
condition OF his client.
Ever since he took charge of the
case Mr.. I.ittleton has given the
question OF Thaws mentality careful
study. lie has traced the Thaw ia.
mily tree. and has decided that the
insanity of Thaw may have been an
inheritance. In ,his connection. II
is recalled that Mrs. William Thaw,
mother of the accused. emphatically
denied during the last trial that In
the direct line OF descent there had
been any trace OF either epilepsy or
insanity. Seven alienists testified,
however. that Thaw was insane and
had been insane for years. Mush
testimony along this line was
brought out in the trial. which
reached n climax when District Al
terney Jerome, in tears. gave his
opinion that he was trying an insane
man. and that he felt 1t was
wrong 10 proceed with the trial nn-
der these circumstances.

Bisbee daily review., 1907-08-17

BOSTON, Aug. 16.-Evidence is ac- cumulating that F. Augustus Heinze and associates are gradually working out plans for one of the largest min ing and smelting companies in the country, which may, eventually, com pete in size for first honors with the Amalgamated Copper company, Amer ican Smelling & Refining O.. and the United States Smelling, Refining & Mining Co.
 Ever since MT. Heinze sold his Butte properties to the Red Metal company he has been gradully assembling prop critics in Montana, Utah. California, Idaho and British Columbia. Among the properties acquired are included the Dayis-Daly Estates Copper com pany in Butte, the Ohio Copper com pany, Bingham Consolidated and Sil- yer King company in Utah, the Stew art mines in the Occur d'Alene and others. These properties show a sub stantiai enhancement in market value above the purchase price. and they all give promise of large production in copper, silver, and lead within the next few years.
 It takes time to develop and place
 mdeveloped properties on produc- ing basis, and MT. Heinze has worked his plans very quietly. He is now busily engaged in providing reduction works. He is already providing for two large concentrating plants and preparing to build new large smelter in Utah in addition to the present Bingham Consolidated plant.
