OIL MAGNATES
IN CONFERENCE
CIark's Syndicate Will Put
More Big Rigs in the vir-
gin Field at Once.

1t developed Friday afternoon that the
big operators whose identities are being
carefully kept in the background, were in
consultation with H. H. (Bullfrog) Clark
regarding operations in the Virgin river
Oil Held Yesterday these interests left
again and Mr.. Clark, when seen during
the afternoon. said the result of the con-
1erences was that two more standard per-
manent rigs would be introduced into the
iieid as soon as possible. and at the same
time flrst-clasS porta bic drilling outfit
would go in and be used to prospect in a
preliminary way at different points in the
field Mr. Clark's syndicate. which is
known as the Utah-Arizona Consolidated
Oh company. is close corporation with
only few hundred shares, and its oper-
atoms are being conducted without public
assistance which is neither needed nor
sought.
While we have had an unusual
amount of bad luck working with the best
kind of a rig that money could buy"
said Nh. Clark. I'VE are perfectly CON
the biggest undeveloped oil field in the
world, so there is no intention of doing
other than to keep on drilling. We have
finally got everything IN shape at the
initial well south and ca I of Virgin, as
you have heretofore stated, and Sinking
from the 937-foot mark was resumed last
Friday, a week ago. The bottom of the
well was entering gas-producing strata
overlies the oil. | am expecting that oil
has been tapped almost any time now.
Il would like to be in a position to tell
you all L know about another combina-
ton that is getting ready to enter the
Virgin field and do things, but | am not
at liberty to do so. l can say, however,
that | know of a big company that mines
both for mineral and oils. that has or
dered no less than twenty-five standard
rigs, such as are employed in the Cali
fornia field, for use in the Virgin region.
These rigs will be coming along as man.
ufactured and before this time next year
the big corporation will be doing things
in thesSouthern country
Mr.. Clark stated also that since the
arrival of Bert l.. Smith from Nevada
Thursday night, the affairs of the South
ern Utah Oil company had all been
Strengthened out. The cOmpanys out
standing obligations had been met and the
absolute control, involving practically all
of the stock had been taken over by him
self and Mr.. Smith
LAS you know" concluded Mr.. Clark.
this company owns ground close to Vir-
gin City. One well has been sunk and
the oil developed. The second well is not
yet finished, but it will be continued on
down as soon as we can get around TO IL
Several wells have been brought in around
Virgin City and there is much more work
to do there We shall thoroughly pros
pect the southern Utah holdings. Tor re-
suits are practically assured now
Mr. Clark will now make his head
quarters in this city and visit the FIELDS
only as his presence there is demanded

LOST PACKER IS
MAKING MONEY
Cleaning up SIS, 600 to 500,
600 a Month Since First
Day of July.

f. g. Rowe. managing director of the
Lost Packer company. came down from
that Loon Creek Qdaho) bonanza yester-
day morning. this being his first day
away from the mine since last June, when
preparations for the blowing in of the
company's smelter we're under way.
I'VE have been running the smelter
without stop or hitch since about the
first of July said Mr. Rowe, land. if
weather conditions will justify as | think
they VIII. the plant will continue in OPP
eration until about the first of November
we have a good market for our matte in
Baltimore, and we are cleaning up be-
tween 10000 and 100000 month. After
the several years of outlay that the com
pany has had to meet, it is refreshing to
know that we shall have something COM
ing IN now. We are long way from the
railroad up there, and continually at the
mercy of the elements. The winters are
long and the snow gets deep. and even
when there. is no snow on the ground the
frost has habit of making hauling a
difficult thing over the steep mountain
roads, particularly on the north Slopes :"
In order TO get the requisite amount of
sulphide ore to flux the regular grades
Of ore from the Lost Packer mines proper
the company had to secure iron mines
about four miles from the smelter Here
mining operations during the summer Mr.
Rowe says. have shown that. underlying
the iron, copper is coming in strong. He
believes that this iron property is going TO
prove a much more valuable asset to the
company than it imagined it would i'm the
beginning; that 1t will develop into rich
copper producer under the heavy iron
Gaping.
If one of the railroad companies would
invade that region, Mr. Rowe says that a
tremendous amount of business would be
quickly developed and he is and has been
working all summer. as best he could, to
collect data that would be convincing on
this point A great mineral region re-
mains to be- opened up and made produc
tive, and if the railr DIS can be made to
see the matter right~he is convinced it
will not be long till some of them will go
after the business the country offers.

SAW MNCoLN's ASSASSINATION.

About the middle of the third act shot was heard and immediately there- upon rang out John Wilkes Booths cry, "Sic semper tyrannis;" not after he reached the stage, as has been stat ed in some accounts, neither did he jump from the box full height, with arms outspread and upstretched, as we often see him in illustrations. On the contrary, he placed both hands upon the rail of the box and swung himself over in that manner, thereby lossenns the fall by the distance of his own height, One of his spurs caught in the American colors with which the box was draped, and he probably landed his whole weight on one foot On strik. ing the stage he pitched forward on all fours, and l then saw the blade Of q long stiletto or dagger glsten in the footlights, as his hand lay on the floor
 He quickly rose to his feet and took one or two uncertain steps, then, turn ing to face the audience drew himself up in theatrical attitude, and swing ing his arm in a half circle, made grand flourish with the dagger, and was off the stage in flash Next came the piercing and horrifyine shrieks of Mrs. Lincoln, and then arose a fearful commotion. Directly efforts were made by some parties to get into the box from the outside, but the door was barred from the inside next noticed a military officer standing on the shoulders of another man and en- deavoring to climb up to the box from the stage. Meantime, the president had remained sitting in his chair with his head bent forward, but l distinctly saw him rise once to his feet and in dazed sort of way attempt to take step or two, He was not upright, but half erect Just then Major Rathbone came to his assistance, and, supported
 by the latter, he sank back into the
