Ready to Deliver Oil

BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 13-Operators
in the Templor field north OF McXit-
trick have been notified by the Pro-
ducers' Transportation company that
the branch pipe line to the Templor
ranch will be ready to take oil by Au-
gust Is.
There are four producing companies
in Templor, which have between 0,00C
and $4,000 barrels of oil In storage,
of which 1900 barrels IS owned by
the Templor Ranch Oil company,
which has nine wells, each with pro-
duction of so to 80 barrels daily. The
remainder of the oil belongs to the Cal
ifornia King, lessee from the Templor
ranch. The Dillon, another lessee of
this company, has two wells in the
sand, of which No. l has production
of 100 barrels; No. 2 is sanded up, but
will now be cleaned out and put on
the pump. The Shear Petroleum COM
pany has one we'll on the pump.
The Templor Ranch is installing four
S5-horsepower boilers, one being COM
pleted, and three compressors and will
pump it's own oil and that of the Cal
ifornia King. The Dillon and Shear
will install a joint plant.
There are two other companies ope-
rating in the field, the Argue and Sun
shine. The Argue is down 800 feet with
No. 1 and has 200 to 400 feet to go.
The Sunshine has rig built and may in
stall a rotary.

FUEL OIL MARKET REMAINS
UNCHANGED IN THE NORTH

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.--The fuel
oil market situation remains unchanged
That is to say, there appears no dis
turbance up or down. The underlined
rumor continues to float that the Asso-
ciated is negotiating a purchase of a
large quantity of oil from the agency.
One report has it that the deal is
hinging on the price-that the Asso-
ciated has offered 40 cents, which the
agency has declined.
OF course it is impossible to obtain
any information on such an important
subject from either of the big market
ers. They are necessarily mum on the
subject.
All of the three big marketers, at
any rate, appear to be silently busy
attending to their respective business.
1t can safely be said that neither
wants to see the market go any lower.
They believe the consumer is getting
oil too cheap now and that the great
hazard of the business demands a
larger profit than is now being OBJ
tanned.
There are also rumors constantly
cropping up that great and new mar
ket sources are about to be opened up.

ON EAST SLOPE
The town of Cananea is situated on
the east slope Of a long mesa which
rises westward from the railway sta
tion, dropping abruptly on its west
ern side into hollow where that part
of Cananea known as Ronquillo Is To-
Gated The hotels and most of the
better clas of residences are located
on the east mesa. In the hollow of
Ronquillo are huddled the public mar
ket, many small shops and few
dwellings,. To the north and south
of Ronquillo the hillsides are covered
with small box-like shacks where the
miners live. Passing westward
through Ronquillo one enters the
company reservation, where substan-
tial brick buildings house the COM
pany's stores and offices. There is
the companys bank, the company's
main store, the mems furnishing store,
the assay office, and the Cananea
club Beyond these buildings. on the
crown of the hill, Is located the COM
pany's gigantic smelter, surrounded
BY Stag piles extending out in several
directions, where overhead and surface
trarnways, connecting with the blazing
furnaces carry and dump their molten
cargoes of rock. At night it is beau
,tiful sight to watch the red hot masses
Of melted rock poured out onto the
dumps. illuminating the darkness. In
the hollow beyond the smelter are
situated, close together. the company's
two concentrating mills.
MAZE OF MACHINERY
1t would be too much of an under
taking for "a layman to describe the
complicated maze of machinery, de-
vices and processes which bewilder
him as he passes through the mill and
smelters, and such a technical de-
scription would not be of interest to
the general public. The smelter was
built when w. c. Green owned the
Cananea mines. 1t was made up of

Ores now being treated average be-
tween three and seven per cent copper.
Cars of 25 tons capacity transport
ores from the ore lines at the mines
to the bins at the central plant.
At first some trouble was had with
the Southern Pacific over rates and
the company threatened to build it's
own road from Douglas, Ari. Remem-
bering the trouble with the Phelps
Dodge people, owners of the Copper
Queen mine of Bisbee, which resulted
in the construction of the Ell Paso and
Southwestern railway and the loss to
the Southern Pacific of thousands OF
dollars every year in freight the lat
ter soon came to an agreement with
the Cananea owners.
Copper was discovered in Cananea
by natives many years ago, but no ex-
tensive development was undertaken
until 1899 when Col. w. G. Green or
ganized the Green Consolidated Cop
per company, built the smelter and
started development WORK on the
mines. The proposition was exploited
by Col. Green in spectacular man
ner with more of a view to profits
from stock than profits from the
mines. In place of running the mines
as a strictly industrial proposition,
with competent engineers in control,
the work was directed with view to
its effect on the stock market. Each
new discovery OF ore was spectacu-
larly exploited before the imaginative
public and used as a basis for further
stock issues. In 1906 the Green COM
pany collapsed after a large amount
had been extravagantly spent in pros
pecting for new deposits. Later in the
same year the Ryan-Cole group of
financiers organized the Cananea
Consolidated Copper company, taking
over the Green Consolidated and the
Cananea Central company, which also
owned several important Mines The
reorganizers took a goodly portion of

ton for saving the wreck. Two mil

Like Topsy. "it just grew" piecemeal.
Under the new control, the smelter has
been altered, repaired and improved
according to central idea and with a
view to efficiency and economy.
The smelter is now capable of han
ding as high as $500 tons of ore a
day. There are two concentrating
mills the old and the new. The old
mill is made up of two sections, with
a capacity of five hundred tons each,
and the new mill has two sections cap
able of handling $50 tons of ore each.
The total concentrating capacity Of
the two plants is about 2300 tons a
day. About equal amounts of smelt-
ing and concentrating ores are being
treated at the present time. The
smelter and mills are actually treating
2200 tons of ore a day and produce
some 40,000,000 pounds of copper u
year. They are operated at two-thirds

MINES OF CANANEA
The main ore body follows the ridge
of the Cananea mountains, which ex-
tend in northwesterly and southeast
erly direction. The principal copper
deposits are found in zone seven
miles long by one and half miles
wide along which the mines are To-
Gated at intervals, the most distant
being the Puertacitos mine, ten miles
away from the mills. All the mines
are connected with the smelter and
mills by the company railway and by
wagon roads. In some of the, mines
the copper is found in limestone for
nation and is sent to the mills for
concentration.
In others the copper is found in
diorite porphyry and has to be smelted.
