SECOND WELL
IS BROUGHT IN
Star and Crescent Company
Will Now Go After the
Deeper Oil Stratas.

The Star & Crescent Oil company,
operating in the Virgin river field, the
company which put down the Cedar
well, so-called, on section 10. north of
the well recently finished on section Is,
by the Southern Utah Oil company.
has just finished its second well and
got oil in the first producing strata Oil
was tapped in the first well at a depth
of $50 feet, and the same strata was cut
in the second well, about 1000 feet west
of the first one, at a depth of 615 feet.
Z II. b. Prout, manager of the Sego
Implement & Vehicle company's BUSH
ness in this city, who is interested in
the company. stated yesterday that he
had been advised that boring in the
second well was being continued with
the purpose Of prospecting the second
oil sand strata and that the bore might
go even deeper than that
Most of the people connected with
the company" explained Mr.. Prout,
reside in Iron and Washington cOun-
ties. so am not as familiar with what
is doing as | would otherwise. be. How
ever, / understand that we have some
5000 acres of land divided into parcels
of greater or less extent in different
parts of the field, and 1 am told that
we have several most promising sec
tons to prospect in. The company
owns a good portable Star drilling rig
and, the fact that it has been deter
mined to go after the deeper stratas,
shows that the company means bust
ness"
From another source it was learned
during the day that a paper is to be
esta blished atyVirgin, and that the man
who has taken hold Of the proposition
is determined to let the world know
what is being accomplished down there.
Bullfrog Clark declares it is going to
make the biggest oil producing field in
the world, and he is making ready to
do his full share in proving it.

to be considerable. No assays have

caused considerable comment. The

ready to go into commission sixty days
hence, or by the first of May. He says
that the buildings are all practically
completed, and that machinery and
equipment are nearly all on the
ground. The big compressor plant that
is to be electrically operated is not here
yet, and may not be for a few weeks,
as it was a special order and the ma
chinery had to- be built.
Il am thoroughly satisfied" said Mr..
Knight, that the smelter is going TO
am doing everything possible TO hurry
it to completion
Mr.. Knights railroad has been fin
ished from the smelter round the
mountain to the Colorado and Iron
Blossom properties, not as far as the
old shaft on the Colorado, but within
close proximity to the new shaft. In
this new shaft sinking was stopped at
the 800, and a little prosecuting was
done for the fissure, and it soon be-
came evident that the work was being
done too deep at that particular point
so, besides starting a raise, cross-cut
was started from point farther up the
shaft.
At the Iron Blossom a tunnel is being
driven to connect with the shaft, and
through this the ores will be delivered
to the railroad cars. Mr.. Knight eX-
poets to develop some fine bodies of
good ore in this property, and at the
same time make use of the iron ore
which the mine contains for fiux at his
smelling works.
He was told of the talk that has been
going around to the effect that, now
that he has secured control of the

Mr.. Knight says, also. that work is
being pushed right along on his Noun
tain Lake properties, reaching over the
divide from Big Cottonwood into Snake
Greek canyon. No attempt is being
made at the present time to prospect
the rich ore-bearing assures encoun-
tered. The force employed is driving
the main tunnel ahead to reach the big
contact, and this it is hoped to do dur
ing the winter. Next spring, if mine
conditions warrant it, an aerial tram
way will be built from the mines down
the canyon to Midway, where it will
be handy to team the few miles to the
Rio Grande railroad at Heber City.
Mr.. Knight believes that the mining
industry generally will have fully re-
covered from the setback of the past
six months during the present year.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Business Continues to Hum and
Prices Hold Up Strong.

No one would ever suspect that there
mad been any such thing as financial
depression in this country if compelled
to judge by the appearance of things
on change. The market is getting
stronger every minute and business is
picking up at a lively clip. Every at
tempt to fill a buying order puts the
price of stock up, while there is no trou-

BETTER SERVICE DEMANDED

The stockholders of water company number one adopted unanimously, at their meeting Tn Imperial. resolutions reciting the grievances of travellers by rail into Imperial Valley and urging the Southern Pacific to put on a through train to Los Angeles. The resolutions complain that messengers have to wait from an hour to twelve hours for through trains at Imperial Junction; that they are delayed by the handling of water cars at the junction, and are kept waiting for the handling of stock and freight at the various stations.
 All that is true, and no excuse for such service has been offered by the railroad. The Southern Pacific is getting about $50, 900 a month out of this valley and can well afford to give decent train service to the people who cheer fully pay that tribute. The res olutions quoted timidly ask that the service be improved when the traffic will justify" The traffic does not only justify but demand through sleepers and a more convenient train schedule. Trains should make the journey across the desert part of the route by night, and the freight and passenger traffic should be separated.
 It is right and proper to recog- nize the value of the services rendered by the Southern Pacific to the settlers of the valley and to make due allowance for the difficulty of putting a new line into good working order, but it is also right to insist that crude conditions be improved and that the railroad recognize the fact that the valley is paying liberally for it's services.

A GOOD SHORT SERMON

Some remarks made by l. w. Gleason at the annual meeting of Water Company No. 1, held in Imperial, are commended to the prayerful consideration of those persons who have been afflicted with the hallucination that the prosperity of a community is pro- noted by factional dissensions. MT. Gleason said:
 Let us not allow questions to arise dividing mutual water com pany against mutual water com pany, town against town, non- resident against resident, or any other question that may injure or retard our forward march to the position of the early fruit and vegetable garden of this nation, and one of the most unique and prosperous communities in the world. We need all of the forces for development, none for wal and wrangling. We have had and will continue to have plenty of enemies, without fighting one another, and let us adopt the rule that when one mans rights or interests are in danger we al rise in one body for his defense.
 That is just plain common sense, and it is to be hoped thai it soaked in where it will do the most good.
