LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS
MUNICIPAL BAND CONCERT

Fully 1900 persons enjoyed the con-
cert given yesterday afternoon by the
Los Angeles Municipal band in Cen
trail park unler the direction of Har-
ley Hamilton. The program had a
wide range, from 1.-THE Arkansas
Traveller to Beethoven's overture to
"Egmont.'' Sunday afternoon concerts
have attaine' great popularity. and
this is in a measure due to the fact
that there are no tedious waits.
The audience that attends these con-
eerts is a very appreciative one and
appears to as fully enjoy the clas-
sical numbers as the popular hits of
the latter day. The band was yester-
day heard to the best advantage in
Meyerbeers "Fackeltanz," the selec-
tion from Sullivan's Patience" and
the Beethoven overture. Will II. Bates
played the cornet solo concert waltz
"Lulle," by Rogers. with excellent ex-
ecution that fully deserved the encore
insisted upon. The parody on 1.-The
Arkansaw Traveller" an oddity, was
the "hit" of the concert and had to be

SANTA FE MAY BUILD
ROAD TO DEVILS DEN

COALINGA. Feb. 20.-According to
a report which seems to have substan-
tial basis, a railroad starting from
the Santa Fe's main line near Solita
and running west about thirty miles
to the Devils Den oil field, is one of
the possibilities of the near future.
The report says w. H. OBrien and
his associates, who are farming about
10000 acres to grain in the swamp dis
trict south of Tulare Lake in Kings
county, have secured an agreement
from the Santa Fe in which the rail-
road undertakes to lay the rails for a
spur track from the main line to the
grain fields, provided Mr.. O'Brien and
his partners grade the roadbed and
supply the ties.
The land owned by Mr.. O'Brien and
his associates lies in township 1921
and 1922 and about half way, or per-
haps a little more, from the railroad
to Devils Den. 1t is considered likely
that the road will be built as far as
the grain fields in time to move this
seasons crop and probably the extern
sion to the DEVILS Den district will
follow so soon as the increasing ac-
tivity in the newest oil field reaches
a point to justify 1t.
So far as learned 1t is not yet de-
cided at just what point the branch
road will leave the main line. 1t may
pass through Alpaugh, or 1t may run
farther south.

BLACK MOUNTAIN WILL
RESUME OPERATIONS

PRESCOTT, Feb. 20.-That work is
to be resumed at once on the Black
Mountain Copper company is the good
news that Max WenZel, the general
manager, brings back from the east.
He spent several weeks at the COM
pany's headquarters in Chicago, and
the conclusion to resume development
look shown on the property.
The Black Mountain ground is eX-
tensively opened, and the possibilities
of it were never as flattering as at the
present time, the last work proving the
enterprise as one of the best in that
district where other demonstrations
have been successfully solved.
Mr.. Wenzel is preparing to get his
camp in shape, for the new order of de-
velopment. and has gone out to look
the situation over. He feels enthusias-
tic over the future, and says that the
eastern financial market is strong, with
good mining ventures in the ascendency
for investment.

BLOODSHED MAY FOLLOW VER-

HirshfeId-McLeod Faction and Do-
heny's New Company Lock
Horns In Fight to Dis
cover First Oil

The recent strike of oil in the Hon.
olulu gas we'll in the Buena Vista hills
has attracted attention to thousands
of acres of undeveloped territory to the
north and east in township 31-23 and
31-24.
Within the past week quantities of
lumber and other materials necessary
for drilling have been hauled to the
lands in this vicinity, and in many
cases the situation has developed sew
eral sets of claimants to the territory.
The most activity seems to be in the
northeastern portion of township 3l-23
on the eastern slope Of the range OF
hills and in the fiat TO the north anu
east of the Standards big gas well.
Several sections in this vicinity were
filed upon last year by Thackery, King
ston, Cross and Wramplemeier. These
locations together with the locations
of another set of entries were assigned
to l. Hirshfeld.
1t is said Hirshfeld entered into ne
rotiations with r. Cords of san fran
cisco to develop the land. There was
a hitch in the deal and Cords decided
TO go after the land without the for
mality of dealing with the locators. he
is hauling material to the ground and
il is plain that he is backed by the
American Oilfields company, the big
s25, ,O0O, 900 corporation promoted by
Doheny, O'Donnell and others.
Enter Hot Race
Hirshfeld has as an associate j. M.
Mcleod, the well known West Side OPP
orator Mcleod and Hirshfeld admit
that they may not have quite as much
money as the American Oilfields bunch'
but they are exerting every effort TO
beat the other people to the oil.
Mcleod has engaged all the teams IN
the Midway country for the next
month. it is said, and the Oilfields peo-
ME will have to import stock to get
their stuff on the ground. Much bitter
ness has been engendered and some
threats of gun play have been MADE;
hut so far no blood has been shed, ana
# seems to have resolved itself into
nroposition of seeing which parties can
make the first discovery
There are many statements pelng
made a s to wholesale jumping OF west
side land. but most of these are very
much exaggerated. All the land IN that
vicinity Is now withdrawn from entry
and parties desiring to acquire IL uhder

PRICES REBOUND FROM De
CLINE IN VALUES
Bear Spectators Rush to Cover Them
selves After A Long Downward
SIide-Gull in Business Be-
Iieved Temporary .

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Financial
confidence improved last week. as re-
fected in the movement of recovery In
the stock market There was a mo-
mentary interruption to the recovery
which had set in the week before
when the week opened, because of false
reports of what President Taft was
going to say in his New York speech
the Saturday preceding.
Professional operators who had
bought stocks because rumor had said
the president would say that the gov
ernment's attitude toward corporations
would be moderated sold after reading
the speech.
The prompt rebound from the first
sharp declines demonstrated that the
timidity caused by the amenability of
corporations to the law was losing its
force as a speculative factor.
More sober consideration of the prob
able course of procedure by the su-
preme court convinced careful ooserV-
ers that he American Tobacco case was
likely to be considered with the Stand
ard Oil case, which is set for argu-
ment IN tne Hlluule Ol hd4Sli' tHuS iSNN
ing an indefinite postponement of the
decision possible,
Proposed amendments to the bill to
alter the interstate commerce law were
regarded as reassuring from the stand
point of the railroads. The progress
of the hearing in the government
suit to dissolve the Union and Southern
Pacific merger was interpreted in the
stock market as showing strength for
the contentious of the railroads.
Last weeks rebound was based, to an
important extent, on the needs of the
bears left uncovered on the short side
in the long previous decline.
The rebound in the stock market has
brought with it a more cheerful feel
ing over the trade outlook and greater
confidence that the lull in business is

GOLD STRIKE AT JOHNSON
CAUSES RUSH TO DISTRICT

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 20.-Prospectors
are hocking into the Johnson district
from all the surrounding country just
now as the result of the gold strike
made two weeks ago by prospector
there. The district, which has long
been one of the most active in this
portion of Arizona, has taken on even
greater activity, and old timers who
have examined the samples taken from
the new strike declare that it shows
every indication of becoming bonanza.
The strike was made half way be-
tween the Johnson camp and Cochise.
Ore taken from the claim shows free
gold in abundance, and its estimated
value is 500 ton. As this is a surface
indication it is pointed out that the
claim shows favorable indications OF
becoming a splendid producer when
depth is reached. The ore shows no
copper whatever. being strictly gold
property.

FINISHED STEEL PRODUCTS
SHOW INCREASE IN SALES
Many Mills Have Orders Placed for
Future Deliveries-Flurry in Raw
Material Soon to Die Out

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The railroads
placed few contracts for equipment
last week, but there was fair vol
ume Of business, with an increase in
specifications in many lines of in-
ished steel A little more confidence is
evident, and the general belief is that
the present furry in raw material will
soon pass.
In not q few instances the impress
sion is that the reaction has been ex-
aggerated unduly. Most finishing mills
are booked far ahead.
In building lines large number OF
small orders for extensions to manu-
featuring plants and for mercantile
structures has been the leading fea-
ture of interest, and the prospect is
that the volume of business in Feb
ruary will be above the average ton
mage placed in corresponding months
in previous years. Last week con-
tracts for fabricated steel aggregated
10000 tons.
The Chicago & Northwestern railroad
had been the only line to Withdraw I'M
portant tonnage from the markets:
Contracts for rails are placed at 22,OOu
tons, and 10000 tons more are under
negotiation. orders for only 225 cars
and rs locomotives were placed, but
contracts are pending for 25,oOo cars
and 200 locomotives.
