: COWARDlY TO GIVE UP"
Rev. Chester Said to His Conorega-
ton in an Appeal to Them to
Stand Firm For Prohibition.


AS prelude to his sermon Sun
day morning Rev. o. B. Chester
made few remarks ON the Church
and Civic Righteousness, and urged
his hearers to stand firm and not
give up the cause of prohibition be-
cause of existing conditions. He said
it would be cowardly to to do so.
Mr.. Chester declared that Terrell
county is now reaping what was sown
through barrooms and the dispense
ry, but that if prohibitiGnists will
keep their courage they will yet reap
good from the prohibition law.
May Be 10 or rs Years.
81 told you during the campaign, -
said Mr.. Chester, that you need not
expect the traffic to cease at once if
we carried the election, as for a
while there would be more evidences
of whiskey than when it was sold
through the dispensary but that the
good effects would finally be seen
and felt, perhaps not before ten or
fifteen years.
Wants Stripes on White Men.
He said that negroes engaged in
the traffic are upheld and protected
by white men, some of whom he yet
hoped to see wear stripes, and that
the main cause of the non-enforce-
ment of the law is found on the wit
ness stand and sometimes even in the
iurV box

PERFECTS PROCESS FOR
COMPLEX ZINC SULPHIDES

A new process for the treatment of
the complex zinc-lead sulphide ores
of the Magdalene mountains in New
Mexico has been perfected and is now
In successful operation at Kelly, New
Mexico. The process consists of dry
concentration, and was perfected by
w. F. Gordon, manager of the Mag
dalena tunnel and Mistletoe mines.
The loss in extraction is said to be
but IL per cent.
The Kelly mines have been worked
at times with vigor, the first discov-
cry having been made in 1866. In 1881
smelter was built at Soeorro, and
the product of the rich carbonate ores
brought quite a boom to the district.
Governor st. John, the one time ia
nous prohibition governor of Kansas,
was interested in the mines in the
sos About six years ago the rich
lead-zinc ores were developed below
the water level and have given the
district. which is a large one, new
lease of life.

OIL FIELDS EXCURSION
IN NOVEMBER IS ASSURED

The Sierra Madre club is making
good progress in arrangements for the
proposed excursion to the oil fields,
which will be run some time next
month. 1t has been decided to take
one, and possibly two, dining cars and
buffet car, in addition to the stand
ard sleepers. Enough of the latter
will be secured to insure each person
a section to himself and the cars will
be used for sleeping and living pur-
poses during the entire trip.
The club anticipates no trouble in
securing 125 excursionists, the num-
Der which is necessary in order to get
a low rate, and it is more than likely
that 200 people will be carried on the
train.
Capt ]. F. Lucey, who is on speak
ing terms with every derrick in the
Coalinga, Midway, Sunset and Kern
river fields, has taken it upon himself
to arrange for entertainment of the
clubs guests and will establish an in
formation bureau in each of the diff
ferent towns to be visited.

NATIONAL COPPER
BANK MAKES GAINS
Salt Lake City Organizes Similar
lnstitution-oif and Metals Bank
Of Los Angeles Prepares
for Business

The National Copper bank of New
York, which was organized as a min
ing bank and started business May
90 1907, has recently issued a chart
showing it's enormous growth. Start
ing business with deposits of $780, 500,
it had on September /, 1909, deposits
aggregating 6,3O1, 400.
Profiting by this experience and
feeling the need of a similar institu-
tion, prominent mining men of Salt
Lake City have organized the National
Copper Bank of Utah, and the roster
of its directors contains the names Of
the most prominent mining men in the
state. w. w. Armstrong, president
of the new institution, is president of
the Bank of Ely and Cashier of the
First National bank of Park City, one
of the big camps of Utah. Mayor
Bransford of Salt Lake; M. V. Rice,
one of the wealthy operators of the
Park City district; John bern of the
Mercur Consolidated and vice presi-
dent of the American Mining congress;
Lafayette Hanchett, general manager
of the Boston Consolidated mines at
Bingham, Utah; George Gum, w. b.
Thompson, j. b. Risque, general man
ager of the Utah Consolidated; Col.
e. A. Wall, David Keith, Dunkan Nc
Vichie and several other well known
and successful operators are sub
scribers to the capital of the bank.
Los Angeles is the third city to rec
ognize the need of a banking institu-
ton which will encourage oil and min
ing investments The Oil and Metals
bank, the organization of which was
related in these columns three weeks
ago, is making rapid progress in per-
fecting it's plans and will soon be ready
for business. Speaking of the bank
the Mining Review says:
1.-THE capital has been placed at
$250,000 and the new institution will
take over, as a going concern, a bank
already established and enjoying q
remunerative though small business.
If the present arrangements are per-
fected the local institution will also
take over the business of a larger in
stitution that has been in existence for
some years, and will therefore start its
career as a paying institution. The
matter of arranging for the necessary
capital is one of the least difficult
problems confronting those who are
backing the institution. In several
quarters the entire amount could be
raised, but it is considered best to
confine the stock and directorate to
men identified in some direct manner
with the two important branches of
the industry. The most Serious prob
lem is presented by the question of
location, but it is believed that this will
be settled to the satisfaction of all
concerned within a few weeks and that
the location determined upon will meet
with the approval of it's prospective
and present customers"

Two mines are working in the camp
of Sylvanite, New Mexico, which at
tracted considerable attention about
fifteen months ago. These are the Gold
Hill, owned by Denver men, and the
King Solomon, in which London, Eng
land, capitalists are interested with
Bisbee owners. The ore produced car
ries both silver and gold and the ore
bodies are said to increase in size as
the shafts are deepened. The ore is
shipped to the Ell Paso smelter, to
which point there is a low railroad
rate, permitting of the marketing Of
SIS ore at a profit.

NEWPORT BAY HAS
SECOND PRODUCER
No. 2 Well Is Put on Pump and Balboa
Company Will Soon Have Its
No, Well Producing

The proving of the Newport Bay oil
field, near Santa Ana, is going rapidly
ahead, and within a few days 1t is eX-
pected that the Balboa Oil company
will bring in the third well of that
field.
On October 5 The Herald contained
an interview with !. S. Hurst of Los
Angeles, in which he expressed him
self as certain of the future OF that
section. Since that interview was
published the third well of the New
port Bay company has been put on
the pump, and is now producing from
100 to $50 barrels a day. The Balboa
company, which had blowout at a
depth of 2761 feet, has finished the
work Of replacing the casing, to WITH
in $50 feet of the bottom. The well
has shown considerable oil, and within
fifteen days is expected to become
big producer.
The first we'll of the Newport Bay
company was temporarily lost because
of defective casing used after it had
been put on the pump. The second
well was sunk to the south of the OIL
strata, and developed no oil, aIthouBn
drilled to depth of 1850 feet.
The oil field has been indicated by
Professor Watts, a recognized au-
thority on oil formations, who deslg-
mates the Balboa and Billiken sections
as being in the center of the oil strata.
His theory was demonstrated by the
work of the Newport company, when
drilled No. well, now a producer
close to the Balboa lines.
The Billiken company, which owns
the Banning lease directly north OF
the Balboa territory, has erected a
rig and is preparing to put down lts
first well According to PROFESSOR
Watts report, there is no doubt of the
existence of the oil shale and fossils,
and the men who are interested in
the new field believe that the value
of the ground has already been dem
onstrated. 1t is favorably located foI
transportation. being but three and
one-half miles from seaport ana al
