OIL FLOWS FROM WELL
IN THE SAN JUAN FIELD

On Wednesday evening George A.
Adams and A. ]. Young returned from
a trip to the San Juan oil fields, says
a Monticello correspondent to the
Grand Valley Moab Times
They have been surveying claims
previously located. They report a great
deal of excitement among the Bluff and
Grayson people over the late strike of
E. L. Goodridge. His well is now
down 200 feet. Immediately after
breaking the crust into the second
strata of oil sand, the oil gushed forth.
rising at least ten feet above the pipe.
From indications around the boring
plant, a large quantity of oil was lost
In this way. The oil now stands I40
feet deep in the well.
The people of Bluff, Grayson and
Monticello are now locating oil lands
on the south side of the river west of
the 10th meridian, and on the north
side of the river in the Clay Hill basin.
All the land lying within ten miles of
the Goodrich we'll on the north side of
the river has previously been located.
Mr.. Adams states that he has learned
on good authority that companies al
ready organized will Immediately place
at least four standard boring plants
in the field 20 further develop the
ground. Mr.. Adams is elated ever the
bright hooking future of San Juan
county, on account of the oil lands.

man who learned something of what
took place at the conference. 1.-THE
company officials talk smoothly
enough, but at the same time they
make it plain enough that, if the price
of the metals advance, they propose to
have a slice, and a big one, of what
ever the advances will amount to above
a minimum fixed value. Smelling
charges are also going to be higher,
and the same old games of figuring
penalties. units and percentages, that
invariably work to the advantage of
the smelter, will be resorted to-
There is a chance, therefore, that the
independent smeiter proposition will
now be pushed harder than ever, al
though there is a chance Of getting fair
treatment for a number of producers
from the Knight smelter, and a still
better chance Of getting some substan-
tial relief if the United States COM
pany gets permission from Judge Mar
shall to operate its lead smelling works

H. H. CLARK PULLS OUT
FOR VIRGIN OIL FIELDS

II. II. (Bullfrog) Clark left for the
south last night to superintend the
loading of his big drilling rig for the
Virgin oil field, which begins today. He
is accompanied by Mrs. Clark, who will
go into the field and rough it with him
for month or TWO.
As soon as the rig is loaded on the
teams and started for the field, Mr. and
Mrs. Clark will go on down to ST.
George and remain there a few days
until camp is made at the site of the
first well, a well that is to be sunk
just over the Utah line in Arizona,
about twenty miles south and east of
Virgin City.
Il have just secured by wire," said
Mr. Clark last evening, ''the services of
what is called the champion drilling
crew of the eastern fields. They are
coming from Portland, Ind, and will
be at camp by the time the machinery
arrives at it's destination. 1 am going
down and / shall stay, as far as /
know, until the first well has been
completed and oil has been struck:
that is, / hope oil win be struck, for
that is what our money is going to be
spent for. 1t may be a month or two
before 1 come out, and when l do, |

what we went after"

DALY-WEST MINE CLOSES
FOR MACHINERY REPAIRS

The Daly-West mines and mill at
Park City closed down Sunday in order
that the hosting machinery, COM
pressors, etc. might undergo a thor
ough overhauling, and also to permit
some repairs being made in the shaft.
Il is expected that everything will be
ready for resumption about the first of
the coming month with a normal force.
A report came from camp that the
property was being closed down indefi-
nitely, but the Manager Ernest Bam-
berger denied. He stated that he
hoped to get under way again within
two weeks, or by the first OF the COM
ing month, at the outside. 1t was
thought that this would be a good time
to do lot of repair work that would
have TO be attended to sooner or later
and, while no statement was made to
that effect, it is believed that the COM
pany is anxious to have everything
ready for uninterrupted running when
the prices of the metals justify regu-
lation production again. 1t is quite
certain, also, that the management
does not want to have to quit for re-
pairs when the day comes for sinking
the shaft to additional depths, a task
that hinges on the drainage of the On
tario and the running of the drain tun-
mel level into Daly-West ground from
the Daily. The close-down of Sunday,
therefore, lis interpreted to have been
good sign for the future. About 125
men are temporarily affected by the
suspension of operations.

That means. of course, that no mat

NEW GOLD CAMP
NEAR sCHURz
What Has Come OF SpeCtaCu-
lar Rush When the Walker
Reservation Opened.

1t has taken a good while for it L
attract attention, but it now seems cel.
tain that gold camp that was With
the boundaries of the Walker River H.
dian reservation is now going to make
good At the time the reservation Wa
thrown open to settlement and pros
pecting great rush was made fo
ground known to carry gold by thu
few men who had been able to elude
the Indian police and do some pros
pecting.
Previous to the day of opening" said
Fred A. Flindt yesterday, there was
stationed in the vicinity of Schurz a
number of fellows with swift horses
ready to make the run for this ground,
distant five or six miles. An old part
ner of mine got in with the rest of
them, twenty in all, to claim the
ground. With so many on the spot at
the same time the proposition resolved
itself into one of two things, either ev-
erybody would have to fight for pos
session or an agreement Of some sort
would have to be entered into. Wisdom
prevailed, and the latter plan was de-
cided upon at once. 1t was proposed,
seeing that there were twenty men on
the ground, to organize a company to
be called the Big Twenty and that ev-
erybody share alike after providing a
working capital stock. I got in for a
fOrtieth.
But some of US had designs on that
ground of our own, and it was planned
to beat all the horsemen to it. \ bunch
of US secured an auto and planned to go
in with the machine, as nearly all the
distance could be swiftly travelled that
way. We figured that the big "hOnk-
ing" machine would stampede about
every horse in the race and that we
could defeat the whole crowd. Well
when the signal for the start was Civ
en- the horses flew off with a rush,
and the ACKNOWLEDGMENT, the blamed
thing baked right there and we never
went a foot"
The Big Twenty is now working sew
eral sets of leases and on this and ad-
Joining property, Mr.. F'lindt has just
been advised, ore that runs on the
average better than 800 a ton in gold
is being mined at fifteen or more
places. A town called Mountain View
has been started and there are stores,
saloons, restaurants and lodging houses
there now, with everything to indicate
that a boom will break loose.
