without striking. any water, and in
twelve and a half inch casing is said
to be producing at the rate of $4,000
barrels a day, and the Santa Fe well
on the same section, and only a half
mile away, is reported to be flowing
at about the same rate. 1t is 1000

NINETY-NINE PREPARES
FOR INITIAL SHIPMENT
Nevada Copper Mine Will Make
First Consignment to Salt
Lake SmeIter This Week

SALT LAKE, Aug. 1.-THE Ninety
Nine Copper company, operating in
the Good Springs district in Nevada,
ore this week. Such is the word re-
ceived by j. T. Hammond from Gen
eral Manager j. b. Jenson. The ore,
which will be sent to the Salt Lake
smelters, is what has been taken out
in development work alone and will
be exceedingly rich in copper contents.
According TO Mr.. Jenson it will av-
erage well up to 80 per cent in the red
metal throughout.
For the past two weeks it is said that
an excellent grade of copper ore has
been going into the bins. This has
been taken from the 200 and 250-foot
levels of the mine. The company has
also taken out a nice shipment of a
lower grade ore, but which is still of
a good grade of copper. This will fol-
low up the first shipment.
During a greater part of July it was
almost impossible to work on account
of the excessive heat. Manager Jen-
son say sthat better progress is now
being made and he expects better re-
suits during the month.
The upraise from the 250-foot level
to connect with the Winze on the 200
foot level has been finished and good
air can now be had on the lowest level.
For a time only short shifts could be
worked in the upraise on account of
bad air. AS this has been remedied it
is expected that much better progress
can be made.

CANANEA OPERATES ALL
BUT TWO OF ITS BLASTS

Reports received from Cananea are
the production at the present time is
averaging, approximately, seventy
tons of copper bullion daily ana that
the July figures will probably be be
tween 4,25O,O00 pounds. At the smell
ters six out of eight blast furnaces
and one reverbatory are in operation,
two blast furnaces being held in re-
serve, but under a policy of copper
curtailment production will of neces-
sity be cut down.
The present rate Of production would
not indicate that any curtailmen- is
being made. as the output since March
has averaged around 4,250,000 pounds.
With the smelter working to capacity
between sixty and seventy million
pounds per annum could be produced.

Gently become such an important fac

per ton.
The monthly increase in silver pro-
duction for Greene-Cananea for 1910
over 1909 is very marked. For this
year the average monthly output from
March l to July 1 has been roughly
10000 ounces, compared with "a, 500
ounces for the same period in 1909.
If this production is maintained for
the year it would Indicate additional
gross receipts of, approximately, $780,

lower cost of production a pound of

BUSINESS MEN DRILL
FOR OIL ON A RANCH
= UP BOYLE HEIGHTS WAY

A party of business and oil men have
a twenty-year lease on the p. H. Mat
thews ranch in Boyle Heights and are
now drilling for oil.
They are drilling within eighty feet
of a well that has produced gas for
over ten years. The Standard drilled
a we'll in the hills to the north and
got a small flow of oil, being off the
main strata. Three other wells have
been drilled to the west and south, all
securing a small flow Of oil.
Some of the most prominent geol-
ogists in the country say as their
opinion that the Matthews ranch is the
center of a large oil pool which will be
a greater producer than either the
Los Angeles or Sherman field.
The men now furnishing the money
for drilling to prove the field have
faith to the extent of putting UP suf-
fcient capital to drill 1000 feet if nee
essary.
The company has not incorporated
as yet.
Among those interested in and back
ing the project are DR.. Tolliver I. l.,
Spencer Joseph H. Parker, Jean
Strong. R. D. Morris, R. J. Tarbell
and DR.. Watson.

WARRIOR STARTS CROSSCUT
ON THE 3OO-FOOT LEVEL

GLOBE, Ariz., Aug. IA crosscut
has been started southwark into the
ore body from the westernmost drift
on the 300-foot level of the Warrior
mine. This drift owing to the fact
that the ore body at this point would
not sustain a permanent extraction
drift was driven in the foot wall of
the ore bearing trough. Here the
ground is more permanent and stable
and through it drift can be kept open
to the winze from the 200-foOt level
crosscut. The crosscut mentioned is
at present Just coming above at the
3OO-foot level into the ore body.
Shipments of high grade ore aver
aging about 10 IA per cent copper are
being sent to the Old Dominion smelter.
The daily shipments aggregate about
eighty tons of ore at present. This is
to be regarded, not as a diminution,
but simply as a fluctuation in the pro-
duction, which not infrequently runs as
high as 120 tons every twenty-four
hours.

SASCO SHELTER WILL
SOON BE CLOSED DOWN

TUCSON, Aug. 11.-Word comes
from Silverbell that the smelter at
Sasco viii probably close down within
the next ten days. 1t is understood
that this is in line with a general re-
duction of the output of copper while
the price of the metal is as low as It
is now.
Then, too, the building of the Tue
son and Port Lobos railroad, the con-
tract for which has already been let,
will give the Imperial Copper company
its own railroad to the tidewater and
thus considerably reduce the cost Of
operations at Silverben, it is believed.
1t is supposed that the develop
ment work at the mines of the I'm
perial company and also on the FL Trio
property, which the Imperial company
has recently taken an option on, will
continue without interruption.

they advanced from $500 up to $4,000 an
acre? Those places have passed for
ever from your easy reach.
The Western Empire, California's

ley has the best climatic protection of
any district on the coast side of the
Sierras. Come and see 1t now.

WIRELESS GIVES WRONG
SHIP DISASTER REPORTS.
Inquiry Sent to Excursion Steam
er Near Chicago Causes
Alarm in City

CHICAGO Aug. 11.-A garbled wire
less message indicating that's ship
was on fire in the lake some distance
from Chicago created much excitement
iii Chicago today. especially among
visiting Knights Templars.
A harmless inquiry sent by wireless
from the excursion steamer Christo-
pher Columbus, with 20QD passengers,
mostly wives and daughters of visiting
Sir Knights on board, started the
trouble.
The captain of the Columbus had
noticed smoke. and asked the steamer
Grandhaven If she had noticed any
thing unusual AS the rumor grew, it
presently embraced the Columbus it
self, and newspaper telephones were
kept hot with inquiries of visitors
whose women folk had gone on the
excursion. 1t was some hours before
all boats could be accounted for and
the message rectified. The fact that
various wireless stations refused to
work simultaneously added to the
confusion. Before the rumor had been
exploded half a dozen tugs and ships
had left harbor here or turned from
their courses to look for the ship on
fire."
