News of the Mines and Oil Fields
LOS ANGELES INVESTORS
SECURE INTEREST IN RICH
PROPERTY IN NATIONAL

Phil Blume, a prominent mining man
and property owner of Winnemucca,
New. Is In Los Angeles to complete the
organization of the National Auto Leas-
ing company and to purchase a hoist for
the property. Associated with him In
the venture are A. J.. McGuc of the
Commercial Gas Engine company and the
McCray Oil company; NJ. L. McCray of
the McCray oil company; John 5. Stot-
tier and II. Heney, all of Los Angeles.
The company has lease and bond ON
four claims located by A. l.. Workman In
the famous high grade gold camp of
National, about seventy-flve miles from
Winnemucca, and has a shaft down 1Oo
feet, which has cut shoot of extremely
rich ore, of which 1e to 10 tons have
been sacked for shipment. Mr.. Blume
was not prepared to say what the ore
would go, but judging by the specimens
which he brought down with him 1T will
run into money very fast. Some of the
pieces of ore appear to be half gold, and
will sustain the reputation of that camp
as being the richest high grade camp
known to the mining world.
A. L. workman, who located the Auto
Hill ground which Mr.. Blume's company
is now developing, also located the IA
nous Charleston Hill mine, which he
sold to the National Mining company. On
the Combination lease on this ground
tunnel has been driven for 300 feet into
a solid body of rich ore and the mine
manager. II. G. Cutler, who was chief of
staff for George Wingfeld until he went
to National, stated recently that he
could take out S1,OOO,0O0 worth of ore in
sixty days. The lease was owned by the
stall brothers, and is now closed down
by a temporary injunction brought by
the owning company, which seeks to ter
inmate the lease on portion of the
gr0nd. Tho case is to come up for a
hearing in December.
Auto hill Is the next hill to Charleston,
and on the same rich ore channel Mr..
BIume has purchased in Los Angeles a
hoist from the Commercial Gas Engine
works, which Is to be shipped to the
mine at once. just as soon as the ma
chinery is installed the shaft will be
lowered to a depth of 400 feet, to inter
sect the main ledge.
MIR. BIume was the locator Of the one
time famous Brown Palace mine in the
Rosebud district, and Mr.. McGue and Mr..
McCray were associated with him in the
ownership. The mine produced some
very rich ore and was bought by Charles
Nj. schwab about the time that gentle
man aspired to the ownership of all the
bonanza mines of Nevada.
The officials of the National Auto Hill
Leasing company are Phil Blume, presi-
dent; A. L. Brachett, vice president; l..
C. Tobin, secretary-treasurer, These,
with A. L. McGue and II. E. L. Winden,
form the board of directors.

PRED LAST NIGHT AFTER SUI
FERING EXCRUCIATING PAINS.

Little Lola Fay Creighton, the beau

The death Of the little girl is pc

DEATH
CAUSED BY CANCER
Continued from First Page-)


CrosweH Doane, of Albany, Arch
Deacon Nelson, of New York, and DR..
NcGuinnesS. of Arden. Only the fam
lily and a few friends will attend.
ATTENTION TURNS TO ARDEN
With the passing of E. H. Harri-
man from the realm of business where
be had long occupied a dominant po-
sitiOn achieved by remarkable gen.
us and intense energy, the attention
of hosts of his friends and admirers
turned today to the stricken family
in the silent house on Tower Hill at
Arden.
The magnificent courage with which
Mr.. Hartman faced the unconQuer-
able enemy was characteristic of the
man and stirred the emotions not
only of those who had been close 20
the railroad financier but elected
tributes from men who had been his
opponents in many a business fra.
Almost to the very last, the mind Of
the man who had never given up in
defeat continued actively directing
the great business he had built I'D. His
last instructions were delivered to 4
subordinate only a few hours before
his death.
Constant vigil had been maintain
ed at the Hartman nome all during
the night preceding death, for the
members of his family realized that
only the stern viii power of the man
sustained him in the unequal fight he
was waging. A crisis was anticipated
at any moment, but Mr.. Harriman's
cheerful optimism abundantiy eX-
pressed when he returned from EU
rope to take, as he said, the "after
cure" gave hope that he might yet
survive the critical stage.
REVIVED TUESDAY MORNING.
Fx-Judge Robert S Lovett, vice
president Of the Union Pacific and one
Of Mr. HarTiman's ClOest associates,
remained at the Hill all Wednesday
night. Although the patients vitali-
ty was at a low stage and he was suf-
feTing from a high fever, he revived
a trace yesterday morning and en-
deaYOTe7 to cheer his despairing wife
and children.
Don't worry. my dear" he said %
his daughter. Miss Mary Hartman,
q am going to get well"
Some hours later it became ap-
parent that the end of the brilliant
career was approaching, and the mem
bers of Mr.. HarTiman's family were

summoned to the bedside. There, &C
cording to one Of those present, the
scene enacted was most affecting as
the husband and father babe his wife
and children goodbye. With unfalt-
eTing courage, but ebbing strength,
he clasped hands with all for the last
time, embraced them, spoke words OF
cheer to his wife and daughters and
of advice TO his sons, Roland and
Averill. Roland, the youngest son,
who had been his fathers constant
companion during his illness, was
shaking with sObs as his father clasp
ed him in his arms and whispered
the farewell words.
Mr.. Harrimans death occurred at
100 p. m, but the fact was not an
nOUnced until after tue close of the
stock market. About 2 o'clock Wall
street heard TumOrs that the financier
was dead, but the statement to that
effect would not be given out until
the stock exchange session ended. a
telephone call to the Hartman home
at las brought a positive denial of
the report of Mr.. Harrimans death.
NO APPREHENSION FELT.
The general opinion in financial cir
Cles this morning was that the bust
ness world was prepared for the
shock of Mr.. Harriman's passing. So
firm was believed to be the foundation
he had established for the business
structure he reared, that little or no
apprehension was expressed. It was
pointed out that the railroad builder
had placed at the head OF the various
properties he controlled men in whom
he had confidence and who doubtless
had instructions to pursue the policis Is
which had carried the Hartman en-
terprises to success.
1t is the general belief that over
work was the cause of Mr.. Harm
mans death. There was some maIady
of the digestive organs which. it is
understood, was never positively di-
agnosed and the precise nature OF
which never will be known. There
is to be no autopsy. The funeral ser
vices will be held at Arden Sunday af-
ternOOn at $3.50 and will be strictly
private.

America to substantiate his claim.
The government refused the request
however, saying that it was now too
late in the year to reach that part OF
Greenland. DR.. Cook then announced
his intention of dispatching a ship
for his witnesses as early next spring
as possible. When DR.. Cook arrives

TALLAHASSEE
NEWS NOTES
Items of Interest Gathered
at the Capital of
Florida.
Special to the Journal.

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 1O.-As has
recently been stated, by request OF
the Tallahassee Chamber of Com
merce, Congressman Dannitte H,
Mays several weeks ago secured the
services for Florida of a government
agricultural expert. This gentleman,
A. S. Maharg by name, arrived III
Tallahassee yesterday afternoon. Be
ing a successful and up-to-date Mis-
sissippi planter, Mr.. Maharg is fully
competent to instruct the farmers OF
the state along lines Of improved mod
ern methods of raising Southern
corps.
At the Leon hotel last evening Mr..
Maharg addressed a number of men
interested in the development of Leon
county. His knowledge of the gen
eral nature of Southern soil and
climate gives him authority to assure
his hearers that only the earnest ap-
plicatiOn of such instruction as would
be given by himself ard his local
managers will be needed to make
Leon county once more one of tho
richest agricultural sections OF the
state By use of drainage, deep
blowing, rotation of crops, conserva-
ton to the soil of nitrogen, obtained
by the planting and turning in" of
such crops as the velvet bean, field
peas" etc, and the careful selection
of seeds to be used for planting, the
lands of Leon can be made to produce
wonderful results. He claims that
these lands are not worn out; the
chief trouble is that the surface plOw-
ing in vogue is not effective; that
burrows should be plOwed at least Is
inches deep in order that the roots OF
the plants can strike down into a
loosened and Sun-sweeJened soil.
At present it is desired that about
fifty farmers, white and colOred. shall
place themselves under the direction
of these government men, setting
aside a few acres for thorough ex
pertinent. The object at first is to
show the contrast between the old
methods and the new.
To those farmers of this county who
will promise to be entirely guild ed
by the government experts, seeds for
planting will be furnished free Of
cost by the Chamber of Commerce.
Eight local instructors will be fur
nished to as many Florida counties,
$4,000 having been appropriated to
the state by the general government
for the purpose of carrying on this
work.
This appropriation comes from tie
interest accruing from the $50, 900.
600 given by Rockefeller and other
multi millionaires, to the government
for educational purposes. From the
reports carried back to Washing
ton by the committee sent out to in
vestigate conditions, it was decided
that true education could best be ad
vanced in the South by aiding the
farmer to improve his financial cOndi-
ton, thus enabling him to spare his
boys from farm work for a longer
period each year in school. Hence
the movement now on foot in all the
agricultural districts of the coun-
try.

American reached there. King Fred
