JOHN BAKER OPENS
FRISCO OFFICES
FORMER UNION EMPL0YE RE-
ENTERS FIELD
Forms Alliance with Powerful Inter.
ests and Promises to Become a
Strong Factor in California
Oil Business

John Baker, jr., erstwhile sales man
ager of the Union Oil, who left the
employ of that company about one
year ago, has opened elaborate offices
in the Crocker building in San Fran
cisco, and promises to become a strong
factor in the oil business in California.
Baker has attracted to his STAFF a num-
Ter of ex-Union employees, who were
included in the recent shakeup-Don-
eel Stone, who succeeded him as sales
manager, and who is said to have lost
his job because he shipped the ma
terial for the Producers Transportation
pipe line Ca Union company over the
Western Pacific without first having
signed up the officials of the Gould
road to an oil contract which the Pro-
ducers was, and is supposed to get.
Purchasing Agent w. S. Hanford and
George Remington-and is believed
to be backed by the Croker interests.
The new syndicate, which as yet has
chosen no name by which its interests
shall be known, has half of an entire
floor i'm the Croker building, and its
position is conceded by oil men to be
a strong one.
Among the companies whose desti-
MES are controlled by Baker are the
Claremont, which has producing wells
in both the Coalinga and Kern river
fields, the Enos Oil company in Kern
river, the Los Flores, which is a close
neighbor of the big Palmer we'll at
Santa Maria and the Chalome Oil
company.
Baker is said to have become very ac-
tive in the proven fields, looking after
available leases and producing wells,
and is looked upon as coming man In
the business.

CLARA CONSOLIDATED HAS
BIG SHOOTS OF GOOD ORE

A Yuma. Ariz., paper has the follow
ing to say of the Clara Consolidated
a property which has been rounded out
by Los Angeles men:
From F. w. Mckinney, topograph-
cal and civil engineer of the railroad
now in course of construction from
swansea to Bouse, who was a Yuma
visitor today, il is learned that seven
teen of the twenty-five miles of road
to be built between those two thriving
districts has already been graded and
the leveling for the remaining five
miles will shortly be completed, work
being pushed as fast as possible at the
present time. The laying Of half a
mile of steel has been accomplished
and all of the steel and equipment is
now upon the road from the eastern
market and will be delivered within
two weeks at the latest. The road is
being constructed by the Clara Con-
solidated, the most developed mine of
this marVelously rich district, in which
the Planet, recently acquired by the
LeWishons, the holdings of the hex
Plumosa and half dozen equally
promising properties are located. A
| force Of seventy men is employed at
the present time on the Clara Consoli-
dated and this will be increased by
the first of the month. Vast bodies OF
copper ore are being constantly I'M
covered some of which averages from
is to 30 per cent copper. The mine is
located about a mile from the town
site Of Swansea, on the high mesa
land 1t possesses the great advant-
age, among others, of a perfect water

STANDARD WELLS

OCTOPUS BRINGS IN TWO
PRODUCERS
Controls Big Area in Midway Section
and is Running Fifteen Strings
of Tools-other Companies
viii Profit

Oil men are exulting over the sue
cess of the standard with its No. 1
well on the Flat" section IS of the
Midway field which is now producing
175 barrels daily, and the further an
nouncement, now made for the first
time, that No. 2 well promises to ex-
coed the production of No. mot be-
cause of any particular love which oil
men have for the octopus, but because
the success of these wells has proved
a field in which several companies have
operated without success.
The Standard wells prove up the
southeast end of the Midway field
and will doubtless be followed by re
newed efforts on the part of the El
Dorado, Equitable, California Midway
La Belle, Santa Fe, the Regal Oil COM
pany, Leland and Dyer the France
Oil company Ga Los Angeles CONCERN
and others who have drilled wells on
the Flat"
OF all the "wild-catting," which the
Standard has done in it's efforts to Sc
cure producing wells, these are the
first which the company has been able
to bring in, and the fact that the OIL
is of a gravity which is desired, Will
not detract from the satisfaction felt
by officials of the corporation.
The Standard is credited with the
expenditure of half million dollars IN
its investigation of unproven fields the
major portion of which was spent in
the "Peach Tree" country and in the
vicinity of King City. along the coast.
1t controls a big acreage on the Flat
and is running fifteen strings of tools.
The success of wells Nos. / and 2, II
is assumed, will be followed by work
on an extensive plane. The success of
these wells means much to the Midway
field.
The Midway Flat wells of the stand
ard, added to the production of the
famous section rs" in the Coalinga
field. will greatly strengthen the po-
sition of the Standard in California,
and may have a far-reaching influence
in the oil business of the coast.

SAVES $500 IN FIVE YEARS
AND F0OTPADS ROB HIM
Street Car Empoye in Chicago Loses
Savings Because Afraid to
Trust Banks

CHICAGO, Nov. Having no faith
in banks, Peter Massion of 1851 Or
chard street carried his savings in a
wallet snugly tucked in an inside
pocket of his vest. He had been laying
aside SO a week out of his wages as a
street car employe and in five years
succeeded in getting together about
$500.
At 4 o'clock Sunday morning, while
Massion was on his way home from
work, he was stopped by three robbers
at Garfield and Orchard streets.
One of the men held a revolver to the
victims head, while the others tore
open his coat and vest and relieved
him of the fat wallet. 1t held exactly
$797.
Massion had SO in another pocket, but
the robbers made no effort to search
him further after getting the large
amount.
He went to the Halsted street police
station and reported his loss, but no
arrests have been made.

NEW FLDORADO IN
THE BLACK RANGE
RICH DEPOSITS OF GOLD IN
NEW MEXICO
Wild Country on Continental Divide,
Formerly Home of Warning Red
Men, Offers Inducements to
Gold Hunters

One of the big high grade gold min
ing districts of the west, a field Whlch
has been almost entirely overlooked by
both prospector and mine maker, is
said to exist in the Black range of
mountains on the Continental divide in
New Mexico by resident of Los An
geles who recently visited that section.
A porphyry belt from two and half
to three miles wide and several miles
in length, which embraces nearly every
period of the porphyry creations, is the
home of this new Eldorado. which
lies within fifty miles of a transconti-
mental railroad.
The mineral resources of the Black
range, which is but 100 miles north OF
lei Paso, where some mammoth smell
tiers are in operation, were known to
prospectors many years ago. but at
time when hostile Indians We're a serl
Gus menace to gold hunters The
country, although within striking dis
lance of a railroad, is described as
riValing darkest Africa" for wildness
of surroundings and big game, the roar
of the grizzly and the groWl of the
mountain lion being familiar sounds in
the forests.
The gold fields of this section are
reached by way of Eyler a station Oh
the Santa Fe not far from the Rio
Grande, the road to the west taking
the traveller past the Elephant Buttes
dam of the interior departments recla-
nation service; thence to Fairfield an
old Mexican trading center, and on to
Chloride, the first mining camp reached
on the journey. Here the United States
treasury mine is developing its prop
erty. and recently made two shipments.
of which the first class ore carried
eighteen ounces gold and enough Of
the white metal to bring a smelter set
Element of $430 per ton. The second
class brought $3.50, the ore coming from
the oXidized zone.
Turning abruptly to the north, the
old-established camps Of Grafton, Pow
erty Gulch and Fluorine are encouu-
tered in a days journey in the order
named, and from any of the peaks in
this region the old Magdalena district,
where the rich deposits of lead car
Donates in the early days of the Kelly
mine have given away to extensive
zinc deposits, can be seen. twenty
miles distant.
There are a number Of mcritorious
prospects in the Black mountain range,
with timber in plenty, game, grass for
the four-footed friend Of the prospectOr
and water in many springs. The eli
mate is said to be superior to that of
the high attitudes of Colorado, and as
the possibilities of the country become
known it is predicted that there viii be
a great influx of mining men and pros
pectors resulting in extensive develop
ment work
