TEN MILLION DEAL IN
OIL IN MEXICO.

TAMPICO, Mexico, Oct. 21.TE.
L. Doheny of Los Angeles, Cal and
associates who control the Mexican
Petroleum company and the Heus-
teca Petroleum company have prac-
tically concluded negotiations for
the purchase of the large oil refinery
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company at
Tamipco. 1t is reported that the
Doheny interests will also take over
the extensive oil retail and distri-
buting business of the Waters-Pierce
Oil company of Mexico. More
than $1O,OO0,000 is involved in the
transaction.
The Doheny interests are the larg-
est porducers of crude oil in this
country and for some time they have
been furnishing the Water-Pierce re-
finery here with its supply Of oil. The
Mexican Petroleum company also has
a contract with the National Rail-
way of Mexico to furnish it with
5000 barrels of oil daily. The fight
between the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany and S. Pearson & Son, Ltd
for control of the oil trade has been
going on for four years and has
caused both concerns heavy losses

WALTER j. KING
MAKES BIG DEAL.

Paul Rewman is in receipt Of a
copy of the Fairbanks, Alaska, Daily
News Miner, which contains a story
Of a sale of placer ground, in that
district, by Walter ]. King and as
sociates for $4,000, $4,000 of
which was cash and the balance with
in a year. King is a son of one of
the pioneers Of Helena, Mont who
was well known to many of the old
timers of Deadwood, the ones who
were residents of Helena before the
Black Hills excitement broke out.
Kings father was the senior men,
Der Of the firm of King and Gillett,
who were prominent bankers, brok-
ers and promoters of Helena in the
early days. In a letter to Mr.. Rev.
man, young King states also that he
lis interested in another piece of plac
er ground, from which they expect
to take out at least $250,0OO. The
account Of the King deal, as publish
ed in the Fairbanks News-Miner, Is
as follows:
Jack Bigelow, Frank Berry and
John McGinn have purchased min
ing claim No. below and part OF
No. 9 below Goldstream from Wal
ter ]. King, Eric Diversified and J. T.
Adams for the sum of $4,000 of
which $4,000 was for No. s and
81, 900 for No. 8.
The ground has shown up unusual
ly well, varying from SO to "a a
square foot so far. A paystreak for
200 feet has been traced u it is
thought the ground will averas, ~
to the foot.
The name Of r. C. Wood appears
in the papers involving the sale.
The deed to the propert yis placed
with the First National bank to be
delivered on the payment Of the mon
ey.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars in
cash was paid for the property, the
balance of $4,000 to be paid by
August 1, 1911 or the ground for
feited.
One third Of the gold taken out
of the ground is to be deposited with
the bank and applied on the pay
ment of the property. The deposit
Is TO be made after each cleanup and
the gold is not deposited as agreed
he contract is forfeited.

EXPERIMENTING TO
DEVISE A PROCESS.

A number of eastern metallurg-
lists are engaged in experiments
which have been undertaken with
view to determining what process
best adapted to the extraction OF
high percentage of the values from
the ore which has been opened up In
the workings of the Ray Gold Mining
company, in the Rockford district.
When the first samples of the ore
were sent out for examination, there
was some vaiarnce in the opinion Of
different chemists as to the con-
tents of the rock, but this point has
now been practically decided and
there now remains only the devils
ing of a process which will fully
and economically extract the val
ue. 1t is understood that the vein
matter, which is composed of quartz,
shist and yellow iron pyrite, as
says about 81 per ton in gold, across
its width, which is upwards of sixty
feet and 1t also contains a percen-
tage of nickel, the exact amount Of
which has not been absolutely deter
mined. From all recent returns, it
would appear that the nickel content
amounts to about two percent and
this declared to be ample to make
the mining and milling of the
ore paying undertaking. 1t is be-
lieved that the final sampling Of the
ledge will show that 1t averages at
least $40 per ton in nickel, making
it's total value about $14.00 per ton.
The shaft Is being put down at a
fairly rapid rate and has reached a
depth of 10 feet. 1t is still in ore
having passed through SO feet of
! the pyrite. At the rs foot level a
cross-cut was run to determine the
width of the vein. The sinking has
thus far been done by hand work,
but the management is now consid-
ering proposition to put in a COM
pressor and continue the work by
machine drills. They are up against
a rather tough proposition in the
sinking, as the heavy pyrite inter-
feres with the down holes and the
rock does not break satisfactorily.

pumping out of the 1850 level will
make it possible to get into the old
workings and wines to the north to
restore air connections to further
facilitate the work of developing the
east country. Only those familiar
with the north end workings can
appreciate the immense importance
of reopening this level.
At the Ophir mine very little work
has been done in the underslope on
the 1000 foot level and as a result
the ouput of the week will be con-
siderably under that of the last week
according to present reports. Work
has been largely transferred to the
2,10O level, where the west crosscut
from the northeast drift is being
pushed ahead as rapidly as possible
to cut the streak of ore which has
given such a god yield from the un-
derstope. Blowers have been in
stalled and no time lost in getting
the work under way. The new aven-
ue of approach to the ore shoot will
make it possible to stope to better
advantage. 1t is stated that he ex-
raction of ore from the slopes on
the 1900 and 2,40O levels will run
about the same as usual, both as to
tonnage and values. The main south
drift on the 1900 level, and the
southwest drift on the 2,400 are be-
ing advanced in the vein in which is
considered a first-class prospect, the
quartz continuing to carry low as
say values.

WATER OUT OF THE 200
OF HIDDEN FORTUNE SHAFT

The unwatering of the shaft of
the Hidden Fortune Mining COM
pany was accomplished on schedule
time and for the past two days the
mining engineers who have been
here examining the Columbus and
Hidden Fortune properties, were
able to get into the 200 level work
ings. Since the water has been re-
moved, they have been engaged in
sampling and 1t was announced yes
terday that they had completed this
part of their work. The Hidden
Fortune shaft Is down another 100
feet and 1t is probable they will want
to investigate the lower workings,
but definite announcement on this
point has not yet been made.
II was originally announced as
the intention to unwater the Colum-
bus shaft as soon as the sampling |
of the Hidden Fortune has been
completed. but yesterday there was
some doubt expressed regarding the
probability of proceeding to that
work Immediately. The surface ex-

GOLD IN TURKESTAN.

The prevalence of gold over con-
siderable areas of Turkestan has, of
course, been known for long time
It exists mostly in fact, as far as is
known only-in the form of aIluv-
ial gold. There are those who say
that rock gold must be there. But
hitherto that has been limited to the
opinion of experts, and has not ma
terialized as a matter of fact, and it
must not be supposed that persis-
tent efforts have not been made to
find it. Gold sand has been found
and worked on the Tchetkal, Talas-
sa. Kegan and Saravshan river sys-
TEN, usually in the neighborhood of
granite; and, in fact it has
been absent as far as known, where
granite is not present.
Natives have found gold in the
SyrDarinsk province in the river al
luvia; and so far work has only been
conducted along the River Chirchek
where washing has yielded about 5
dollies per 100 pools Of sand. Gold
has also been found in the basin of
the River Talassa and other systems
in the province, where as high a con-
tent as 20 dollies of gold per 100
pools of sand have been washed. 1t
is usually met with In the form Of
thin fakes or small dust, whilst the
grainy form is very rare. Nuggets
have been met with from time to
time. In other districts the yield,
when found, has been very disap-
pointing.
The whole course of the River Var
arshan, in the province of Samar-
kand, shows the presence of gold,
again in thin flakes or in small
garins. 1t probably originates in
the congolmerate that lies along the
banks Of the river,
Several gold areas are known in
Ferghana, notably on the Rivers
Koksu, and in the frontier area of
Polls. In the former two areas the
metal is still being worked, but in
the last 1t has been abandoned. The
gold found here is reported to be
fairly large. But there are points
where the yield is so small that only
the extreme poverty of the natives
accounts for them working gold at
Ill. It will be of interest to note

decided upon. Superintendent H. s.
Vincent is proceeding with the work
cautiously, seeking to avoid the de-
fects in arrangements which caus-
ed inconvenience and consequent
suspension of operation by the for
mer company.
1t is probable the reconstruction
work will be in progress well into
the winter, but when it is completed
the plant will have daily capacity
OF 300 tons and will be one Of the
best arranged and most efficient cy-
anide mills in the country.

that the gold washed at Altyn-Ma-
Ear was found to consist of 81 per-
cent gold, 5.4 per cent silver and
7.2 per cent copper. Along the Riv-
er Muk-su gold has been worked;
but the field has been abandoned.
In the same province, and in the
district of Namanghan, investigation
has been carried out on the River
Saltanash, where the upper strata
show a poor yield of gold, but low
er down the content improves, and
as much as 2 zolotniks Is dolies
per pood have been found as the
content of the ground worked here.
But, Notwithstanding the promise in
dicated, these beds have not been
regularly worked.

Chicago Takes the
Fourth ChanlpiOp Game.

Fourth Champion Game.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Nineteen
thousand delirious enthusiasts, driv
en- most insane by the ninth and
tenth inning victory, saw the Chi
cago Nationals come back" today
and capture the fourth game Of the
worlds series from the Philadelphia
Americans, to 8. The combat was
one to live in history. There was
not a moment when properly in
terested partisan could draw calm
full breath. 1t was anybody's game
until the finish, when double, an
out and a single put the winning
run across the plate.
In the nineth Schultz made the
double, Hoffman sacrificed him to
third and amid roar of ear
splitting cheers, Captain Chance
stepped to bat. The first ball pitch
ed nipped his fingers, but the UNI
pire said he had walked into it and
that it served him right, or words
to that effect. THE peerless lead
er" hoped about swapping his injur-
ed finger for a moment and then
resumed his position, glaring at
| Chief Bender in the box for Phila-
delphia. With every muscle in his
| angry system tense, he caught the
next ball on the seam and slam
med it to the farthest corner OF the
lot for three bases. The gloom,
which hung like pail since Mon
day, floated away and in the sky OF
the fanatics appeared a rainbow of
hope and promise, unbounded. The
Philadelphians acclaimed Bender
when he retired the next two, leav-
ing Chance stranded and the score
tied 3 and 3. -.
In the tenth Baker of the Phil
lies was easily disposed of and Cap
tain Davis doubled to right.
tain Davis having doubled to right.
Home Run" Murphy hit a sharp
grounder to Tinker, who threw Dav-
is out at third. Barry ended the
rally by striking out. There were
two out when the winning run was
made by Chicago. Archer was on
second as the result of his two-bas-
er, when Sheckard singled over Sec
ond and Archer trotted across the
plate and the agony was over.
The official forecast is for ideal
baseball weather tomorrow. Coombs
and Brown are likely to be the op-
posing pitchers.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to CUTS deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous
 ming of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caus- ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflame dcondition of the mu- cous surfaces.
