W. Frank owen and II. 4. Hart re-
turned last evening from Taos with

to determine the feasibility of estab-
lishing daily automobile service from
this city to the Taos valley. They
made the trip yesterday from Taos in
only six hours and thus assured the
entire feasibility of the project. In
fact, they are enthusiastic about it
and Taos and Santa Fe men have
practically subscribed all he stock
for a company to establish the line

nine hours, allowing one hour for a
station to be established at which
good meals are to be served. From a
scenic standpoint, the line will be SUI
perb and from a business point of
view it cuts through the most popu-
lous part of New Mexico and is GER
tain of large amount of traffic from
the start. The fare to Taos may be
$3.50 or $40 The automobiles to be
used are to be of the strongest and
most modern type and will be run by
expert chauffeurs. The automobiles
will be heated and everything will be
done for the comfort of passengers.
There will be choice of two routes
that by way of the river, and the 9TH
er by way Of the mountains via Pc
nasco and Santa Barbara. 1t will be
great thing for Santa Fe for it will
center the traffic of the Taos valley in
this town where it belongs by right,
and at the same time will open to the
geenral travelling public the beauties
and other attractions of the Taos val
ley.
For Road to Aztec.
The project of a daily automobile
service to Actez San Juan county. is
taking shape. The Indian service will
contribute $500 to put the road from
here to Santa Cruz and Chamita in
good condition and the board of-eoun-
ty commissioners will appropriate ST.
coo for that purpose. After consulta-
tion today with Engineer Jay Turley,
Governor Curry and Territorial Engi-
neer Vernon l.. Sullivan announce
that the good roads commission will
send a competent engineer over the
proposed road at the earliest oppor-
tunity and Engineer Turley has offer
ed to accompany him and to charge
nothing for his services. As stated
yesterday, the only difficulty will be
the twenty-five miles of sand on the
road to Abiquiu and the heavy grade
of Abiquiu canon. The good roads
commission expects to go to work on
the road as soon as the engineer re-
ports upon the project, providing the
report is favorable.

MINERS COMPLETE
CONTRACT ON DAILY
LEAVE ORE SHOOT N HANGING
WALL
Company Owns Sixteen Claims in
Plomosa District, Eight Miles
South of Bouse on Par
ker Cutoff

The DAILY Mines company has re-
Gently completed a forty foot shaft on
the Vulcan No. 2 claim, in which some
high grade copper earthquakes were en-
countered % feet from the surface. The
ore bearing assure dipped off into the
hanging wall and the shaft was con-
tinued on foot. Ernest A. Haggott, the
company's consulting engineer, advises
continuing the shaft another 100 feet,
and this will be done.
The DAILY mines consist of sixteen
claims in the Plomosa district eight
miles south of Bouse on the Arizona &
California railroad, which is built from
XVickenburg on the Santa Fe, Prescott
& Phoenix, TO and over the Colorado
river and is now in course Of construC-
ton west of the river TO Bengal on the
main line of the Santa Fe. This road
is known as the Parker cutoff, and has
opened up a vast territory Of mineral
lied lands which have hitherto b.en
too remote from transportation lines
and smelteTs to permit of exploitation
The Daily Mines company has per-
formed considerable development work
on the various claims, in nearly all in
stances opening up ONidized ore. In
his report of July q MI Haggott says
that the shaft on the Hat claim at a
depth Of IS feet is still in oXidized ore,
showing strong presence of copper car
Donates, with occasional bOulders of
good ore. The company IS ably ami
economically managed and has a good
opportunity to make mine of value.

ASSOCIATED FAILS

crockers Said to Have controI-Stand.
ard Strikes 25 Gravity Oil
at Depth of 1900
Feet

MARICOPA, Oct. 31.-It is stated
here by a party reputed to be an
authority with the Twenty-Five Oil com
pany that the company has not yet
closed the contract with the Associated
to sell that company 100000 barrels of
oil at so cents d barrel. He admitted
that negotiations were being had with
the Associated in the matter While he
did not say the contract would be or
would not be closed, from what he said
about another bid for the OIL from an
other source, of SO cents a barrel, the
inference is they will not close up with
III" Associated at so cents.
Another report is being circulated To
the effect that the CrOCkers have ac-
quired and assumed control of the
Twenty-Five Oil company, through the
ag ncy of John Baker jr, and that
they are directing affairs through the
old board of directors.
II this is the case the reason Of the
abrupt and positive refusal Of the COM
pauy to join the agency is clearly I'M
derstuOd
The Standard Oil company has made
a discovery of twenty-five gravity oil
on section 2S-32-24 at a depth of $500
feet. The oil seems to be in consider
abb quantities, although nothing def
mite can be ascertained yet.
The hole was put down with a rotary,
and a $ seems to be the case in most
instances where this sort of rig is used
the knowledge gained is extremely
limited, The strike, if it is a strike in
paying quantities. is highly significant

PRODUCERS CROWD
WORK ON PIPE LINE
Pumping Station Near Mcklttrlek on
Kern River Line to Be Sur
rounded by Forty
Acre Tract

Development work is proceeding
rapidly along the pipe line of the Pro-
ducers' Transportation company. A
telephone camp has been established
two miles out of McKittrick and poles
have been set from the north as far
as the dumping station on section IL,
1921. A gang is now working toward
Lo Kern, distributing and setting poles.
Last week the trenching camp which
was located west of McKittrick was
moved along the survey to point near
Templor, and the trenching is being
pushed vigorously.
The pumping station near McKit-
trick on section u, 1921, is to have a
40-acre tract surrounding it, instead of
ten acres, as was originally contem-
plated. Engineer Parsons was at Nc
i{ittrick recently making the survey.
The station named is on the Kern river
line. and it has been determined TO
locate the next station north at But
tonwillow, a mile and a half east of
the railway depot. A third station will
be near Rio Bravo, on 16, 1928

ASSOCIATED WILL

WILL BID AGAINST UNION IN
THAT FIELD
Company Has Large Acreage Tied Up
and is Expected to Put Down
Number of Wells
at Once

FULLERTON, Oct. 30.-The Union
Oil company which has always had the
bulk of the oil from this field, is To
have a rival in the Associated, which
barely missed tying up a contract a few
days ago for 80 900 barrels. But whether
II gets any big contracts or not 1t is
stated that the company, which has a
large acreage tied up in this field, VIII
drill several wells at once. Work has
already commenced on the first well,
and other rigs are to be put up as fast
as possible. 1t is also reported on good
authority that the Associated has Sc
cured a right of way for pipe line
from Los Angeles.
Notwithstanding the statement that
it would have 100000 barrels surplus
by February l, 1910, the company evil
IDENTIFY wants more oil. 1t is well
known that production in the Salt Lake
field is declining rapidly, and at one
time this was the mainstay of the As
ISOLATED Oil company-in fact, the best
property it owned.
There may be some connection be-
tween the company's recent activities
and the report that negotiations were
under way with Japanese refiners for q
large amount of California crude.
The Union has always wanted the
output of the Fullerton field, and has
had it, and the producers have APP
parently been satisfied with the treat
ment accorded them, but 1t is not prob
able that these will shed any tears if a
strong competitor comes into the field
to bid for their oil.

PERfECTING MILL
AT COYOTE SPRING
Mistakes of Former Management Are
Overcome and Property Will
Soon Be Placed on
Profitable Basis

The Blair, Nevada, Press prints the
following concerning a Los Angeles
company which is operating in that
section:
c. r. Miller, manager of the Gold
held-Silver Peak company at Coyote
Springs, was at Blair yesterday, and
we interviewed him in regard to the
work now under way on that prop
erty.
Mr. Miller said that the Hoyt rifle
boards recently installed in the ten
stamp mill have proved to be very
satisfactory, saving so per cent of the
values, and that the cyanide plant
will be abandoned The mill started
yesterday with a single shift of en-
poyes, but it will begin to run two
shifts i'm about ten days.
The shaft is down about 225 feet
and will be sunk about 200 feet fur
Their. Drifting from the lower Level
is now in progress, and will be con
tinued about 400 feet to the north
and about seventy-tve feet to the
south Eleven men are employed, and
this force will be doubled in the near
future.
The stock of the Goldfeld- Silver
Peak company is largely held by Los
Angeles people, and there is an am
pie fund in the treasury to prosecute
development work. A large sum Of
money was injudiciously expended by
former managers of the company, but
the present management Is going
ahead on a busness-like basis and
there is no reason why they should
not make a success of it. The prop
erty has a large body of loW-grade
ore which has been thoroughly dem
onstrated to be a good milling propo-
sition. The Goldheld-SilVer Peak
ought to make one of the greatest
mines in Nevada when developed.

and an associate of c. A. Canheld, vice
president of the Associated Oil company,

shooter Wednesday by gun men in the
employ of j. c. Yancey, Portland oil
man. when he attempted to un Dad Ium-
her for an oil derrick in section O-31~22
in the far northern end of the Midway
oil fields. The disputed section is on the
edge of the rich Midway district, and
its ownership is bitterly disputed.
On receiving advices that Danziger
would probably make an attempt to I'M
load lumber on the ground, Yancey Sc
cured twelve expert gun men and,
heavily armed. left for the west side
Danziger claims to have fled on the dis
puted section long before Yancey, whose
title to the land is based on Thomas Ma
ones filing years ago, it is said. Malone
