ON OLD FRUIT RANCH
Discovery Made in Cleaning Out
Long Unused Spring
Iso.e;ol Dispotch 10 The Call


SANTA ROSA, Aug. 2o.-Natural gas
in considerable quantity was uncov-
cred on the George N. Whitaker ranch
in Bennett valley. a few miles south
east of Santa Rosa, this week while
men were engaged in cleaning out an
old spring which had been unused for
many years. The discovery coming
upon that on the Rucker ranch east of
Petaluma recently has created much
excitement.
The Whitaker ranch is one of the
Oldest fruit ranches in the Bennett
valley, but it was not known that gas
existed on the place until recently.
When it was found so strong during
the cleaning out of the spring hole,
which is some 10 feet deep, arrange
ments were made fo- retaining it.
This morning it was lighted at the
end of a pipe and burned with great
brilliancy and strong heat. Develop
ment work will be pushed with the
view of securing sufficient supply for
commercial purposes.

HARTMAN COMING
FORAN 'AFTERCURE'
Home Treatment Is Expected to
Restore Railway Magnate
to Health

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-E. H. Harri-
earlier than expected is simply TO adj
nit of his being in his home and to OBJ
tain the rest he needs after his treat
ment abroad. according to Alexander
Nillar, secretary of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific railroads. who
has been abroad with Hartman. Millar
arrived today on the Mauretania,
"Harriman's health is by no means
as bad as supposed on this SIDE" said
Millar. "I do not think he will take
any prominent part in business for a
few weeks after his arrival here"
Another spasm of liquidation came
over the stock market in the first hour
today on enormous dealings. Prices
of the more active issues, such as the
Hartman stocks, Reading, United
States steel and American smelling,
declined from 2 to 3 points or more.
T7vcitement on the floor was intense
and the stocks were thrown over at
whatever prices they would bring.
To Take after Cure"
PARIS. Aug. 2O.-Despite many
alarming reports that have been cabled
from this side about the physical con-
dition of E. H. Hartman, 1t is now
stated by the highest authority that
his condition is by no means critical
His physicians think his "after cure
on shipboard and at his country home
will restore him to better health than
he enjoyed before he left America.
The "cure" at Bad Gastein is most
enervating and it is an imvartable rule
to send patients of advanced years to
some quiet mountain resort to take
what is known as an after cure"
