OIL IN PAYING QUANTITY
I'm SAN JUAN VALLEY

After two years of effort to reach
oil in the vicinity of Bluff, San Juan
county, Utah, it is now automatically
reported that oil has been struck in
paying quantities and this win prob
ably lead TO the establishment of a
live district there in the near future,
says the Denver Republican.
Reports OF ell indications have been
frequently made in that vicinity, but
the flow was difficult to strike. On
March 4 Charles Goodman of Bluff,
writing to the passenger department
of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad.
made the following statement.
Word has just come into town that
the oil drill struck oil TODAY at noon, at
a depth of only 210 feet At first the
oil and gas spurted up ten feet above
the top Of the well, then gradually dice
down. It will be a pumping we'll"
A letter from Mr.. Goodwin. received
yesterday says: THE reported oil STRIKE
is correct. The oil is here in quanti-
ties, sure, but the machinery was
stopped and the hole covered till par
ties could locate on all the oil land
they wanted before any excitement and
rush of people occurred. What the
next move viii be, can not be stated
at present"
The presence of oil in paying quanti-
ties in this vicinity has been predict
ed for many years by biologists and
others who have studied the character
of country near Bluff. For this rea-
son the report of strike comes as no
great surprise, but of course II remains
to be seen from future developments
how extensive it will prove.

J. V. Stewart who has just finished
six weeks exploration of the oil sec

Il brought in a bottle of oil which
certainly appears to be the real lubri-
eating article" said Mr.. Stewart, who
is well known throughout California
and Nevada mining sections.
There are seepageS in many parts
of that county, and 1 predict that an
immense business in oil and asphaltum
will spring up there. 1 saw the Uintah
property and then went over to a

APEX LEDGE IS
CUT IN THE KING
Rich Vein in Park City Mine
Reported Tapped at a
Great Depth.

While nothing has been given out on
the subject by the Silver King Coalf-
ton management, it comes from a
pretty reliable source that one of the
chief recent disclosures in that COM
pany's mines, has been the opening
on the Alliance tunnel level, in the
Kearns-keith end of the mine of the
rich Apex ledge.
The Apex company's property went
into the Kearns-Keith company before
the great coalition. The ground was al
ways considered very valuable and in
the early days it produced a great deal
of rich ore down TO the 400 or 6O0-foot
level. 1t is said that the new open
ing in this rich vein gives more than
twice the original depth. and it is also
said that the ore carries better than
so per cent lead and several hundred
ounces in silver per ton. The King Co
alition company is only just beginning
to scratch the hidden wealth that will
be opened in its four miles of mineral
bearing territory

Secretary Howard S. Stowe, of the
Salt Lake & Western Development
company, the syndicate of fifty Salt
Lakers who are operating the Santa
Rite group of claims, adjoining the prop
critics of the Hero-Nevada company, at
Farrell. Nevada, reports that work is
going steadily ahead. No sensational de-
velopments have yet taken place. but
the shaft that was recently started IN
what is called the east cut in the great
fOrtyfiVe-foot ledge is showing i'm
proved values as it goes down.
The great ledge or dyke that crops in
the property was trenched clear across
at one point and assays ranging from a
trace to S1.46 in gold were obtained At
the most likely looking part of the vein
shaft was started and it is in this that
results are expected with depth
On the Hero property good ore is be
ing encountered as the ledge is opened
and reports from the ground indicate that
considerable ore running over 500 per
ton is being sacked ready for shipment

FIGURING POWER PLANT
FOR THE CENTURY MINE

H. U. Hart, who gained control of
the Century gold mines for eastern
clients on Tuesday, is already moving
to get the campaign of improvement
under way at the mines. He is now
securing data and estimates on the cost
of installing an electric power plant on
Raft river, a few miles from the mine,
his idea being to have the whole prop
osition lined up with as little delay as
possible.
Mr.. Hart stated during the afternoon
that he was satisfied the plant could
be installed and the wires carried from
the river to the mine fors sum ag-
gregating about $4,000. At that price,
he figures that the plant will nearly
pay for itself in the saving in costs of
operation during the first twelve
months il is in use.

Sundays appeals have awakened IN
men and women of all closes, OF all
degrees of education and of all grades
Of intellect a devotion to Christ and the
sect of their choice that has amazed
and reioiced those who sympathi1e

Yet Mr.. Sunday has no great endow-

verts ioyfully defray the expenses OF
his revival meetings. His success Is
due 10 his apparent sincerity, to his
ability 10 stir up in his auditors
realization of their responsibility to God
and to bring them contrite and humble
TO the mourners' bench. He reaches
