BIG OIL PRODUCT
OF SAN JOAQUIN
COALINGA LEADS ALL FOR
SEPTEMBER

An analysis of the published figures
of the oil output of California for Sep
tember shows that two-thirds of the
oil nroduced in the state was from the
San Joaquin valley fields, Coalinga,
Kern River, McKittrick, Midway and
Sunset. Coalinga was the largest pro-
ducer, with 1,35O.O0O barrels, and Kern
River a close second with 100000 bar
rels.
The value of the Coalinga output,
on a basis of SO cents, the established
price of the Independent Oil producers,
is sS5O,50O; the San Joaquin valley
fields. including Coalinga, S2,O97, 900, and
the entire product of the state, $3,O3O,-
26S.5O for the month.
The actual output for the month fell
sbort of August by 24750 barrels, but
the daily average was 4374 barrels
greater than the preceding month, the
apparent falling off being due to the
fact that September has but thirty
davs. one less than August.
The product for the month in the
entire state was 4,SO9,959 barrels, di-
xyided as follows:

Mines and Mining
Edited by f.
PETITION PRESIDENT TAFT FOR
A FEDERAL BUREAU OF MINES

fully ask your cooperation in the
efforts of the American Mining con-
gress to secure the speedy enactment
of legislation creating a federal bureau
of mines.
1t is currently reported that your
visit to this section of the United States
is primarily for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the needs of the west, Such be-
ing the case we beg to call your at
tention to one of the greatest indus
tries Of the nation, and wish to impress
upon you, as strongly as lies in our
power the crying need of the co-opera-
ton on the part of the federal govern
ment.
You are fully acquainted with the
importance of the industry and 1t will
therefore be unnecessary to remind
you that the products of the mines are
responsible for no less than siXty-five
per cent of the carrying trade of all
the railroads of the United States, that
the industry furnishes employment for
no less than two million men, and that
the annual production is in excess Of
two billions of dollars.

COOK NOT PERTURBED
BY STATEMENT MADE
BY LIEUTENANT PEARY

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 12.-"It is the
same old story" said DR.. Cook tonight
when shown the statement issued by
Commander Peary, together with the
map accompanying it.
Il have replied to the points raised
a dozen times" he continued. "The
map published by Commander Peary in
itself indicates the Eskimos have re-
spected their promise made to me, that
they would not give any information to
Peary or his men.
"The Eskimos were instructed not to
tell Mr.. Peary or any of his party of
our trip over the Polar sea. They were
told to say we had been far north.
They have kept their word.
Mr.. Whitney has said that during
the cross-examination conducted by
Commander Peary and others of his ex-
pedition the Eskimos did not under
stand the questions put to them or the
map which was laid before them. Their
replies have been twisted to suit per-
verted interest.
'I will not enter into any argument
about the matter but will bring the
Es5imos to New York at my own ex-
pense, and they will prove, as did Mr.,
Whitney, all I have claimed"
DR.. Cook would not consent to go
over the details contained in Mr..
Peary'S statement any further than 10
remark that the Eskimos are only too
willing to say something they think
will please their questioners."
Explorer Not Perturbed
The explorer was not at all perturbed
by the accusations.
"I fully expected something of the
kind" he said. "The document looks
formidable over so many signatures
and will appear so to the public. There
is, however, nothing in it, and it is
based on the distorted and evasive re-
plies of persons who were told not 10
give any details.
Rasmussen, who will be here short
ly, has seen the Eskimos and knows the
real story. They did not try to deceive
him. He was with them for fourteen
days. They know him and told him
everything. He speaks the Eskimo
language, for he is semi Eskimo him
self and those people have the most
complete confidence in him"
DR.. Cook told the students of the
Case School of Applied Science today
he hoped another American would gc
to the north pole in 1910, although one
had been there in 1908 and another ir
1909. He said Amundsen was on the
way to the pole and probably woulc
reach there in 1918 or 1914. There was
still much work to do in the arctic anc
