cording to ]. B. Jenson. The Pralrle
Flower which is now operated ny
Jesse knight, nephew of the Provo
Wizard, has "a body of solid galena ore
six feet thick, of unknown lateral d.
mensions From the property at TINS
time is being shipped a carload
week of ore which carries 60 per cent
and 20 per cent of lead.
Operations at the Yellow Pine mine
have been slowed down pending the
completion of the company's railroad
and mill, but it is exected that Wlthln
the next sixty days a large force OF
men will be employed breaking the
immense bodies of zinc and lead oie
which are in readiness to be mined.
The Potosi mine is making its reg ular
production of about 300 tons of high
grade zinc ore monthly and is like
wise making some lead shipments.
Riley and associates of Las Vegas are
shipping from new property when
they are opening.
From the Addison and Milford
mines, which were taken over some
months ago by j. Will Knight and La
fayette Holbrook of Provo, regular
shipments are being made to the
Needles smelter. The Addison is pro-
ducing lead ore and the Milford is at
this time turning out zinc ore Both
are understood to be opening in ex-
cellent form.
The camp as a whole never looked
better, Mr.. Jenson says. Ore in large
quantities is opened up, apparently
wherever work is done the possibilities

GOLD DUST MINE WILL
SOON BEGIN OPERATIONS

MOGOLLON, N. NJ, Oct. 3.-It is re-
ported the development of the Gold
Dust group will be started at an early
date.
Drifting has begun from the winze
below five in the mines of the Enter
prise Mining company. The crosscut
from winze below two continues in a
low-grade ore.
The contractors have started work
in both the Cooney and Little Charlie
mines of the Mogollon Gold and Cop
per company. All machinery is being
renovated.
A large crew is trenching and laying
pipe for a new water supply system
for the Ernestine Mining company. AT
the intake bedrock has been uncovered
and forms placed for a concrete wall
which will be laid to a point several
feet above ground.
Contracts have been let to continue
the east and west drifts into the big
ore body on the sixth level of the
Socorro mines. A large shipment Of
bullion is in transit.
Twenty-Five loads of machinery and
supplies were delivered during the
week for the mill of the Deadwood
mines in process of construction. The
lower section of the building is partly
UP. All lumber is being furnished by
Hermann's Mogolion sawmill. The
rare good policy of extended mine de-
velopment for which the management
of this company has been noted is be-

VISALlA MIDWAY NO. 2
APPROACHES PAY SAND

w. r. Stuck Of the visalIa Midway
in the upper end of the Midway field,
says he anticipates a big well in the
No. 2. No. has just been completed
at 1921 feet and after being perforated
is now being put on the pump, In or
der to clear the hole of water that
seeped in during the drilling.
After short period of pumping a
flowing well is expected. The No. 2
well, however, is expected to be a still
bigger producer and for several weeks
past the gas pressure has been so
strong that all drilling operations were
suspended at night in order to guard
against fire.
The visalia Midway is making prep
arations for a big production and in
addition to a 10000 barrel concrete res
ervoir recently completed, the company
is now building a 100000 barrel reser-
voir. About 80 teams are at work and
the company is rushing work to COM
plete the reservoir as soon as possible
In addition to this 100000 barrels of
concrete storage, there is about $4,000
barrels of sump holes.

DOES ASSOCIATED NOW
CONTROL AGENCY? ASKED
Meeting at San Francisco May
Have Been for Closing
Deal with S. P.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-The ques-
ton whether the Associated Oil COM
pany had at last succeeded in gaining
control of the Independent Producers
Agency to the extent of handling the
latter's product is an interesting topic
for discussion and speculation in local
oil circles.
The presence of some of the higher
officials and directors of the Union
oil company, who had come from Los
Angeles to hold a meeting, started the
diversion. For the last year the Union
Oil company has been marketing the
oil of the agency and the combination
worked harmoniously until about six
weeks ago, when it was understood
that in the fulfillment of the contract
the agency was piling UP about one
half of its production, the Union people
being unable to market 1t.
Under these conditions the agency
made application to the Associated
company to handle the surplus. This
opened the way to negotiations which
are said to have eliminated today in
the signing of a contract between the
Associated Oil company and the Pro-
ducers Agency whereby, for the next
three years, the Associated will handle
the agencys products. 1t is understood
that this is an exclusive contract under
cluded from the marketing process
which it has been carrying on.
Negotiations between the company
and the agency have been going on for
the last three weeks. President St.
Clair of the agency came up from Los
Angeles at that time and several con-
ferences ensued regarding the handling
of the agencys surplus stock of oil.
which was represented to be about
5000, 900 barrels, an alarming quantity
on an unstable market.
With producers clamoring for some
heturn, 1t is understood that the
agency, which was at first inclined to
hold out for a general average price
of 35 cents a barrel, was induced to
listen to the arguments of the Asso-
ciated, which went no further than
willingness to handle the agency's pro-
ducts with the price matter left to the
movement of the market. President
st. Clair fought for the price, but was
unable to obtain the concession.
The directors of the Union company
were called to San Francisco. There
were present at the meeting First Vice
President w. L. Stewart and Directors
F. c. Bolt, w. r. Orcutt, William r.
Stats and w. A. Tubby. What action
was taken regarding the connections
of the company and the agency was
guardlike a state secret, but it was
not denied that the contract between
the Associated and the agency had
been made. AS to the relations for the
agency, there was a general disinclina-
tion to express an opinion.
The atmosphere of secrecy also per-
vaded the office of the Associated re-
garding the signing of the contract.

OLD BUEL DISTRICT
LOOKS LIKE WINNER
Utah Mining Men Start Work in
Region Near Tecoma,
Nevada

SALT LAKE, Oct. 3.-That the old
Buel mining district, near Tecoma, Ne
vada, with its record of production
nearing the $5,OoO,OO0 mark, and with
even chances for doubling the output
with no great amount Of development
presents investors some of the greatest
opportunities to be found in the west,
is the belief of T. ]. Gundry, a prac-
tical mining man of many years ex-
perience, who has just returned from
the district, after having examined
many of its properties.
Among the properties which are at
present most conspicuous on account OF
active development being in progress
are the Little Butte, Mineral Mountain,
Tecoma, Black Warrior, jackson and
Utah Lead.
''The Copper Mountain group alone
has a production record of nearly $S'-
000000," says Mr.. Gundry. Its ores
carry copper, gold and silver, with cop
per predominating. Plenty Of ore is in
sight in the mine, but operations are
at a luil on account of the low price
of copper. The Tecoma group is under
bond and lease to a New York syndl-
cate. New development is In progress
which should bring desired results. The
Little Butte companys group of four
the west. 1t is in the heart of the min
eral bearing zone, with remarkable sur
face showings and with marketable ore
exposed in nearly all Of its workings.
only further intelligent development is
needed to make it a valuable mine.
Partially surrounding the Copper
Mountain, Teeopa and Black warrior
Is the large group of the Mineral Noun
tain company, with surface shoWlngs
that are unsurpassed in the district.
Good development work is being done,
but the work of its owners, like that or
many others, is hampered by lack OF
funds to perform the development
which the showing warrants.
"The Black Warrior is the banner
small property of the district, the pro-
duction from surface showings on one
claim having amounted to ABOUT SoVo'-
OO0 The property has been taken over
nv men who are performing systematic
development, and who are already ex-
tracing high-grade silver-lead ore for
shipment.
.'The Utah Lead company's mine is
equipped with machinery, and a force
of men is employed developing and ex-
tracing a good silver-lead product.
1.-THE Jackson group, with Its deep
est workings less than $50 feet, has pro-
duced about forty carloads of high
grade silVer-lead ore which carries an
excess of iron. The property promises
TO be a mint for its owners who nave
declined all sorts of offers from would
be purchasers.
"Other properties in which excellent
showings have been made are the Dake
& Kimber, the Kavanaugh, the Cali
fornia, the Gibson, and the Hogan. The
mineralized zone is one of remarkable
strength and the district deserves more
attention from mining men. That 1t
will return hundreds Of dollars fol
every dollar iudiciously expended in de-
veIo1ment is not an idle dream"

EXTENSION
PREPARES TO SHIP ORE

GOIDFIELD, Oct. 3.--As an indica-
+ion that the Florence Extension may
with further development be added TO
the list of shippers in the camp, ana
possibly a very important one comes
the fact that a small amount of ore
is now being sacked IN the Workings lss
of that property with good prospects
for a material increase in quantity at
almost any time. The Florence EXten-
sion adioins the old Rogers Syndicate
and Rosebud leases at the south END
of Little Florence hill, and large
body of quartz in which there Is more
or less pay ore has been picked up
by a crosscut toward the Rosebud
ground.
while the showing here is quite promis-
ing 1t is still believed that the shaft
should be sunk to 700 feet to catch the
better part OF this ore shoot, as the
formation is considerably broken in
this region at 500 feet.
These workings, like the Rogers
lease, are In the Milltown andesite, but
associated with the andesite has been
a considerable zone of dark basalt
This has been passed through by the
crosscut on the 800 level, and the
formation is favorable for ore in this
section.
THE Rogers lease produced approxi-
mately s66O,OO0 from 1000 tons of ore,
the average value ton being about
sos, although some was very much
richer.
While 1t seems that the main ore
channels of the Rogers lease are prac-
tically cut off OF at least badly broken
before their reach the south end of
the Rogers ground, there is room to
believe that good values have pene-
trated into the Florence Extension at
some point. The quartz ledge that is
now being developed is characteristic
of the Rogers and Little Florence
leases, and the presence of irregular
punches OF n~@ " c~rtainlv encourage

One of the tracts purchased by this
company is the Greenbaum land OF
over 5000 acres, paying therefor be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
This land is situated several mhes
southerly from the southern end or
the hills out on the fiat plains, but dl.
rect in line of the supposed trend of
oil formation. Other land, it is re-
