CRIMINAL COURT OF
APPEALS IS POPULAR

Guthrie, Okla. Feb S-The popularity
of the criminal court of appeals was at
tested Saturday when the house enacted
a bill perpetuating the court and fixing
the salaries of the judges at $4,000 per
annum. The passage of the bill was af
ter a brisk debate in which Representa-
tive McCalla put up a stubborn resistance
because he did not agree with several
provisions Of the act or lack of provisions
relating to the method of election. He
wanted judicial districts defined from
which judges would be nominated and
later elect the nominees from the state
at large in like manner as governs the
selection of the state supreme justices.
In the debate interesting information re-
earding the enormous amount of work
being done by the criminal court was
produced. The attempt to reduce the
salaries of the judges was fruitless. It
is believed the senate will concur in the
bill. Under the prevailing statute for
the organization Of the criminal court
the court will 60 out Of existence in Jan

SOURCE OF ALL REAL POWER.
Inherent Capabilities the Foundation
of Commanding Position.

One hears it said that the rich com
pei the poor to work TO this Clemen'
ceau has most wisely replied: The rich
do not compel the poor to work; ma
ture compels them to work. Work,
the search for food, is the universal
law Of nature, imperatiyely laid on all,
young and old, male and female alike;
and lasting the whole lifetime. All
that the rich do is to show the poor
what to work at; and this they do,
not because they are rich, for rich
fool cannot do it, but because they
have the twofold power of seeing
what is needed to be done and co-or-
dinating the powers to others to get
it done. The poorest man in the coun-
try, if he have these two powers, will
soon become rich. 1t is not capital
that makes power effective; it is in
herent power that makes capital eff
fective. The richest men among us
today began with no capital but their
inherent power; and what we call
capital is merely the register of that
power, the evidence that the power
has been exerted; but the inherent
power is the real thing. Whatever
form the state may have, we are, and
always shall be, dependent on those
who have the twofold power Of seeing
what is to be done and Of co-ordinat-
ing workers to do it.-EarDer's Weekly.

Through the fundamental division
of time, the day appears intuitiye to
most persons, it is well to remember
that in the arctic regions the marking
of this division is by no means easy.
During several successive months the
sun is either always below or always
above the horizon and the only meth
od-a very uncertain one-of distin-
gushing between day and night is to
the times Of high and low tide.
Division of time into months comes
from the motions of the moon. Malays,
and Australian aborigines
reckon time exclusively by months
and days.

GOLDFIELD CON.
ISSUES REPORT
SHOWS EARNINGS OF S26 TO
THE TON
Increased Equipment of Mill from 600
to 900 Tons Daily Is in Success
full Operation and Ready
for Full Capacity

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 30.-A total pro-
duction of 19,2S4.7O tons of ore contain
ing S724.45O.63 was made by the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company dur
ing the month of November, according
to the monthly report just sent to the
directors by General Manager j. H.
Mackenzie. This ore contained an ave
rage of S37.57 a ton, all of which was
milIed with an average extraction OF
$751; a ton, or 1886 per cent. The total
net profit to the company was $4S9, =
1918, or $25.92 a ton. The total cost OF
mining, development, transportation,
milling, office and general expenses was
S6922 a ton. Included in the expense
was 4354 feet of development work.
The most notable showing was from
the Clermont shaft, where there were
produced 2422.7 tons, containing $751;
~. 10 an average of $147.50 a ton. The
production from the Clermont during
the previous month October was
23Ol Al tons, containing $225,9O4.25, an
average of $98 a ton.
All the equipment for increasing the
capacity of the mill from approx
mately $50 to 900 tons a day is now in
place and in successful operation.
Within a few days it will be running
at full capacity, with all the delicate
adjustments completed, and the net
profits above normal performances OF
the past will be increased in ratio with
the enlarged equipment.
The report Of General Manager Mac
kenzie shows the wonderful progress
being made by this marvellous gold pro-
ducer, which is now but really getting
into the stride that has been planned
for it by the management. 1t shows al
| immense amount of new development
work. a corresponding increase in ore
reserves, a remarkable economical
operating expense and its paramount
| importance is demonstrated in the in
| creased average values from the Cler-
mont shaft, the deepest workings ol
| the camp.
Those who have doubted the richness
of the ore bodies in the Clermoni
workings will have cause to ponder al
the record for November, and they
must realize that there is no room fol
argument.
The Hampton stope on the Combina-
ton is now thoroughly accessible from
ali levels, and important extensions OF
this mammoth ore body have recently
been developed. New slopes are being
opened in the central portion of the
Combination mine, and increased values
have been found in the southern end

Some of the richest Slopes in the

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY sTlRS
COMMUNITY
Stubborn Formation Yields Fluid at
300 Feet, Marking First Strike
of Oil In That Section
of State

COACHELLA, Cal, Dec 30.-The
town of Coachela is greatly excited
To-Day over discovery Of oil, one quar-
ter of mile south of town. Mckay
brothers had been working on water
well on Dr. Thurston's ranch for the
past five months, encountering great
trouble in drilling, which showed fault
in the regular strata which cover the
valley Two weeks ago the drlllels ,
noticed oil coming out in small guam
titles, but paid little attention to it.
A few days after work was suspended,
awaiting the arrival of new hydraulic
jacks.
This morning work was resumed.
A rope was lowered into the well to
determine water level, but when il
was brought out it was covered with
oil about six feet from the end lowered
into the hole.
Buckets were arranged and about
fifteen gallons of oil bailed out. No
indications point to the well having
been tampered with, and as the hole
was plugged securely and found in eX-
actly the same condition as when work
was suspended, no evidence shows that
any person poured oil into the hole
from the top.
only one solution remains, namely,
that the oil came in from near the
bottom of the hole. where the drill went
through.
Streaked cement formation lies at a
depth of about 500 feet.
This is the first real discovery of
oil in this section of the state, but for
several years oil experts have said
there was oil here.
Hills on both sides of the valley
were located as oil claims few years
ago.
