THIRD BLUE MOON
LEVY CRITICISED
PRESIDENT PHELPS GIVES
REASON
Stockholders Claim Well Was In and
Supposed No Further Assess
ments Would Be Levied
by Company

COALINGA, Oct. 23.-Considerable
dissatisfaction is expressed by Blue
Moon stockholders at the action of the
directors in levying the third assess
ment of s cents a share, and in some
quarters they have been severely criti-
cised, the claim being made that the
we'll was reported in, and did flow at
times 1t is explained that heavy sands
have prevented putting the well on the
pump, and necessitated deeper drilling.
q. L. Phelps, president of the COM
pany makes a satisfactory explanation
of the conditions which made the as
sessment necessary. He says that the
company is $4,000 in debt, and that it's
lease compels the drilling of five wells
In succession. 1t is necessary to raise
funds for this purpose and to pay off
the company's Indebtedness.
The present assessment will provide
S95OO to apply for this purpose. The
well has cost to date $92,500 and the
company has raised, by assessments
and sale of stock, $31 400, including the
last assessment.

C0URTLAND STRIKES ORE
CARRYING PICTURE VALUE

Douglas, Arizona, is excited over
reported find of rich gold ore at
Courtland, in the north part of Co
chise county, the home of the tur-
quoise mines. The one suspicious cir
cumstance attached to the stories told
concerning the strike is that the ground
is described as lying close by two
new townsites.
Discussing the discovery the Doug
lass Dispatch of the 23d inst. says:
According to reports which reached
this city from Courtland yesterday,
that camp is in the midst of a gold
excitement far exceeding in gen
eral interest anything of the kind
known in northern Cochise county in
many years.
According to the story brought down
last night by Charles E. Bolton, a
pioneer contractor of the Turquoise
town, and backed up by J. c. McIn-
tosh, the well known Douglas black
smith, a ledge of ore has been located
on the first of the two hills lying in
the Sulphur Springs valley, about one
mile directly northeast of the Heron
townsite, assays from which have run
from $S to $4,000 a ton in gold.
According to Bottoms story the dis
covery was made by James Heron,
proprietor of the Heron townsite,
and his partner, Sam Berry. The
men were doing assessment work on
some copper claims owned by them
on the hill in question when the ledge
was uncovered by a blast at a depth
of seventeen feet. Free gold showed
in the rock, some of it being very
rich.
Local assays, as stated above,
showed values from SS to $1,000. Moth
ing like a stampede has Occurred, for
all the land in the vicinity has been
staked for many months for copper

ARIZONA COMPANY ENTERS
BONANZA ORE ON CONTACT
Development Company Performs Mis-
sion and Enlarges Scope
and capitalization

The Swisshelm Development COM
pany is reported to have made an i'm
portant strike of argentiferous ore car
rying high values in gold on the west
slope of the Swisshelm mountains,
twenty-five miles from Bisbee. The
company was developing for copper,
and sank a shaft to the contact. Ore
was encountered before the contact
was reached which sampled. according
to the report, 81 ounces of silver and
2.15 ounces of gold. Seven feet deeper
the shaft cut the contact and the
values had greatly increased, judging
by the character of the ore. A car
load has been extracted in the course
of development work and is to be ship
ped as soon as teams can be had for
the halding to the railroad.
The Swisshelm Development COM
pany, having performed its mission,
that of proving the existence of pay
able ore bodies, is to be reorganized
into a mining and reduction company,
the capital stock to be increased to
81, 900. 600, of which three shares will
be exchanged for one Of the develop
ment company.
S. H. Tallman of Phoenix is treas
urer of the Swisshelm company and
NJ. S. Peysert president. Mr.. Peysert
has been operating in the Swisshelm
mountains for five years, and was al
ways confident of the result of devel-
opment work on the ground owned by
the company.

Los Angeles "GrI Enigma" 5Iames
Head of School for Crime

A letter was received by Judge Will
bur yesterday from w. D. Sturtevant,
clerk at San Quentin penitentiary,
stating that Miss Ruby Casselman,
who was sentenced to that institution
in August, 1908, after conviction on
charge of forgery, would petition the
state board of pardons for release on

In her statement to the pardoning
board Miss Casselman contends, as she
did during her trial. that she passed
the forged check at the instance of j.
w. Belding, who conducted a telegraph
school in which she was student. The
check was for $780, purporting to be
signed and indorsed by Lille B.
Sharpe, and, according to her state
ment, she was given the check by Bel
ding and told to get it cashed at the
First National bank. 1t was while at
tempting to get the money that she

STEAMS OIL WELL
AND REVIEWS LIFE
SEVERAL TESTS APPLIED TO
INVENTION
New York Physician Claims New and
Novel Process for Removing
Paraffin Wax Will Pro-
long Life of Wells

An invention for prolonging the life
of oil wells is claimed by DR.. F. A.
Monroe of jamestown, N. Y, and has
attracted much discussion and some
severe tests in the east, where it is
claimed that the physician has been
able to again bring in wells that have
been long since abandoned.
The invention is thus described by
an eastern journal:
THE new invention is a steamer,
and consists first of a metal tube
twelve feet long and four and a quar-
ter inches in diameter. In the upper
part of this tube is inserted a cyln-
der containing water, with a small
aperture at the bottom regulating the
flow and distributing it evenly over
the outside of a disc. In the lower part
of the cylinder are inserted cast iron
bllets which have been heated red to
white hot; the ends of the tubing are
then plugged. At three points in the
tubing, near the top, bottom and CEN
ter, are rows of small holes. The wa
ter from the cylinder then. dropped on
to these heated billets, generates
steam, which is forced upward and out
of these holes with great force, spray
ing the paraffin coated walls of the
shot-cavity with hot, dry steam.
THE cause for the cessation of ac-
tivities on the part of oil wells is the
closing of the pores of the oil sands
by paraffin is the great evil in the ma
jority of the oil wells. The wax sticks
to the rock, and after a limited
time prevents the passage of the oil.
This has ever been the bane of the
producers. Numerous have been the
methods devised to overcome this
enemy to the life of the oil well.
1.-THE efficacy of DR.. MonroeS inven-
tior ba broUoHf him T,rof11f po0tlxr ba-
fore the oil producing world. The al
most universal method up to this time
of ridding wells of the paraffin evil has
been the primitive blasting process,
which has ever been both expensive
and unsatisfactory"

CONTEST FOR BOY
TAKEN 'CROSS SEAS
FOLLOWS MARRIAGE IN SOUTH
AFRICA GOLD FIELDS
Next Taken to New Zealand and Then
s Wife Appears Here and De-
mands Her 11.Year-
Old Son

A legal contest for the possession of
an 11-year-old boy has been carried
from Auckland, New Zealand, to the
local divorce court in the suit of Charles
Edward Reeves, now a wealthy rancher
of Glendale, against his wife, Lydia
Maud Reeves. Reeves was in Judge
James court yesterday on an order to
show cause why he should not furnish
his wife with money to contest the ac-
ton and maintain her while in Los An
geles. Her request was denied by the
court when it was learned she still pos
sessed $500 or $500 of a former allow
ance made by Reeves on a court order
two weeks ago.
The Reeveses were married in johann
nesburg, South Africa, in 1897, where
the son, Charles John Reeves, now IL
years old, was born. They removed to
Lake Takapuna, Auckland, N. a., where
domestic dissensions became frequent,
Reeves stating that his wife tried to
shoot him, threatened him with a carv-
ing knife, and finally resorted to her
finger nails, scratching his face terri
bly,.
In 1907 Reeves came to California, and
year later Mrs. Reeves followed, go
ing first to Seattle, where she learned
her husband was in Los Angeles.
Through her attorneys here she OBJ
tained an allowance from her husband
to appear against him in suit for
divorce filed by his several weeks ago,
and following her arrival in Los Ange-
les filed a general denial of his accusa-
tions. The case will be tried before
Judge Houser.
The following suits for divorce were
filed yesterday: Ella May Baldwin
against Howard Thomas Baldwin, Jes-
sic e. Johnston against James c. john
ston, Florence Anna Spencer against
Harry Spencer, e. w. ThaXter against
Ella Thaxter May Pollard against Reu-
ben M. Pollard, Frances Sowinski
against Louis Sowinsk and Sarah A.
