The steamer had 157 souls aboard,
OF whom about so passengers were

MINING AND OIL
ATLANTA LEASES OPEN
LOW GRADE VALUES.
Queen Consolidated, Cherokee
and Precious Metals
Drifting on Veins

A strong vein of mineralized quartz
has been opened in the drift on the
7O5-level of the Queen Consolidated
lease on the Atlanta at Goldheld. The
rock looks very good, but the values
are low as far as development has
penetrated. Exploration will be con-
tlnued, however, to fully investigate
its possibilities, with the hope that a
pay shoot may be encountered.
On the Cherokee lease, which is be-
ing developed by the Queen company,
prospecting is being done on the streak
of ore that was passed through by the
shaft at a depth of $40 feet. A broken
up condition has been encountered by
the drift and it will take several days
to determine to what extent the ore
will be affected by the fault. A raise
will probably be put up from the drift
to prospect the ore above while it is
also being developed by lateral.
The Precious Metals lease is still il
active operation and is showing con-
siderable low-grade material, but no
pay has been disclosed. Develop
ment is being carried on at a depth of
730 feet, and several hundred feet of
prosecuting and drifting has been
done on this level, Wilkie 2. Garrison,
president of the company, resides at

struction crews have been laid off and
normal conditions assumed. Mine de-
velopment will now be inaugurated on
a larger scale than heretofore. A large

No 5 shaft and sinking on the same is
being rushed. It has attained depth
of about 210 feet and has about go feet
more to go before entering the ore
body that was encountered in the No.
drill hole.
A drift is being driven from the
No 2 shaft to connect with the No.
on the 300-foot level. 1t is expect
ed to encounter the ore body opened
up by the drill hole any day. Good
progress is also being made in deep

The smelter has just completed
successful run, having turned out
eighty tons of bullion. This included
considerable custom ore that had been
received recently. ]. ]. Williams, for

The manager to whom she confided
her desire pointed out the inadvisabil-

added that even were he disposed to
give her the chance she coveted he
would still be in doubt whether her
talents were such as to justify such
action on his part.

at the present time" he said "is the
service of people who know the me-
chanlcs of the stage"

HORSE KICKS ON SALOON
DOOR TO OBTAIN BEER

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.--They do
come back sometimes. This one
came back for a pint of beer and got
it. 1t wasn't a prize fighter, though;
it was a horse.
Patrolman Frederick Brunde, who
lives on Lent street, Corona, l.. l.,
with his wife and children, thought he
would buy his young hopefuls a horse.
This became known to John Liscross, a
saIoonkeeper on Hoffman boulevard,
who offered to sell his horse Pete for
$25. The liquor dealer told the blue
coat that Pete used to be a racer.
HE used to be something or other, 1
can see that" sighed Brunde. Il nave
one hatrack now, but we'll call it a go
if you'll throw in a pint of beer"
IN you or the horse?" asked Lis
cross.
I'm me, Of course. If you put a pint
in him he'd break" In few minutes
beer and horse changed owners. The
appearance of the horse caused great
ioy in the Brunde household that even
ing. He was christened Bill, and was
nut in an improvised stable in the back
yard. Brunde returned from duty
about midnight and thought he'd see
how Bill liked his new quarters.
The stable was demolished and the
horse gone. Awakening his family
Brunde searched the neighborhood,
His precinct was notified and an alarm
sent out. About o'clock yesterday
morning the station house got hurry
call for some one able to lasso a wild
beast that was terrorizing the neigh
borhood of Horse Brook road.
AS they neared the Liscross saloon

back to the door, which he was batter

that the horse was accustomed to hav-
ing a pint of beer before retiring and
was always restless when he didn't get
II So he gave Pete the beer, and
Brunde had no trouble in leading the
animal back to it's new home. Brunde
is now considering whether he'd better
sell the horse or buy a keg of beer for

BIC LIST OF GUSHERS
IN CALIFORNIA FIELDS
Heavy Production Daily by DiWi-
dend Paying Companies.
High Values

Interesting information regarding
the doings of the gusher family of
Central California has just come to
hand from the scene of operations.
During the present week eight new
and old gushers were running a merry
race for supremacy down in the San
Joaquin valley.
The Lakeview is still making about
1900 barrels a day; the American OIL
Fields we'll on S6-S1-22 is estimated
from %, 900 to 10000 barrels; same COM
pany's new we'll No. 6S has been yield
ing 5000 to 5000 barrels; the Santa Fe
gusher is doing about the same.
The American Oil Fields has 100000
barrels in tanks and 100000 stored in
reservoirs and has just ordered eight
more 35,000-barrel tanks.
Honolulu we'll No. has been brought
in at 200 feet, making 500 barrels a
day of 1s-gravity oil.
The Santa Fe on section 36-31-21,
well No. 1, is flowing between the
eleven and nine-inch castings, making
about 1000 barrels They have three
pumping wells on this section making
from 800 to 500 barrels each, and an
other just opposite American Oil Fields
No. 70 in the sand at $40 feet. The
wells run from 916 feet to 1865 for No.
1, the flowing we'll.
The big 65,000-barrel reservoir when
completed, together with one $4,000
barrel tank, furnish ample storage to
handle the product.
julius Fried, owner of five-eighths
of the Lakeview royalty oil, declares
that in all probability the oil will go
into the agency.
Much interest is being manifested by
oil men in the wells that are being
drilled in the immediate vicinity of
the Lakeview gusher.
Maricopa 36 Oil company, 1900 feet
south of the Lakeview gusher, IS MAX
ing 500 barrels of 2o-gravity oil at 1888
feet. 1t is expected by the manage
ment that this yield will be greatly
increased as soon as the sand Is bailed
out.
Well No. is situated $50 feet south
west of the gusher and is down 1900
feet, carrying a ten-inch casing, the
twelve and one-half-inch casing hav-
ing been landed at 1125 feet. 1t is ex-
pected that this we'll will be COM
pleted by October IS. 1t is the closest
well to the Lakeview yet drilled. A
large gusher is expected, but the
company will be prepared to keep the
flow under control.
The M. and T. company, operating
on the east half of the northwest quar-
ter of section 36, and Immediately ad-
Joining Maricopa SO on the east, has
Just brought in a large flowing we'll
The sand was reached at 1850 feet, at
which point the eighteen-feet Of very
rich oil sand had been penetrated A
big producer is expected.

NO LIMIT OF OIL LANDS,
is VERDICT OF PRODUCERS

Recent developments in the Califor-
MIA oil industry indicate that paracti-
caIly there is no limit to the area of
il-bearing lands in this great state.
Each succeeding day the judgment of
experts is upset by the bringing in of
wells in territory that had been deemed
not worthy of consideration in the fe-
verish scramble to bring forth the
precious fluid from the depths of
Mother Earth.
Many oil operators of conservative
judgment now admit that there are few
acres of ground in the great oil belt
from Coalinga to Sunset that they
would stake their regulations on as
not being oil-producing. Many experts
now are of the opinion that the
length Of the state is underlaid with
one vast sea of petroleum and that the
development of the great industry has
hardly begun.
Working on the generally accepted
theory that petroleum is most plentiful
wherever there were bays in the an
cient sea which covered what is now
the san Joaquin valley, many new
companies are drilling in these highly
prospective fields.

BECOME BURGLARS UNDER
MESMERIC SUGGESTION
Young AriStoCratS Steal at Die
tation of Thief

PARIS, Sept. 9,-Fred Rothenstein
and Napoleon Capello two young
men of good family, were tried in the
criminal courts in Paris recently for
burglary with violence. Rothenstein
was acquitted and CapellO was SEN
fenced to two years Imprisonment.
Their case was a curious one. The
burglary was committed under mes
meric suggestion. The two young
men were morphine maniacs, smokers
of opium and Of hashish, and neither
of them, according to the official doc
tors, is altogether responsible for his
actions.
Some time ago they made the ac-
quaintance of a man named Mollet,
a professional burglar, and he ac-
quired such a mastery over them that
he induced them TO break into a house,
steal some jewelry and bring it to
him. They themselves made nothing
by their crime. Mollet has escaped,
and the police are searching for him.
Rothenstein has been put into a
lunatic asylum, but Capeilo was sent
to jail because he was considered to
be partly responsible for his act.
