SAYS T.
WASN'T BEATEN

In an effort to correct the impress
sion gained from report out of Utica,
n. Y, saying that Con O'Kelly was
bested in a fight with Hank Griffin,
Tommy Ryan, of the Irish
man, declared yesterday that they were
not true. In reference to the reported
Touchdown in the second round of the
ght. Ryan says that Griffin was lucky
in delivering the blow, although it had
no decided effect on O'Kelly. Ryan
points to the tenth round, in which
Griffin was knocked down, and says
that the bell saved him from a knock
out. O'Kelly, says the manager, is pro-
crossing and has learned more in six
months than some champions have in
several years.

COLORED MEN DEVELOP
MINE At SEARCHLIGHT
Company of Los Angeles Preach
erS, Backed by Negro Capital
Make Good in Game
THE PROPERTY is A PRODUCER
Camp Has Modern Machinery
Working, and Reduction Plant
Will Be Installed
THE PROPERTY is A PRODUCER

Searchlight boasts of a producing
mine that is owned and operated, man.
aged and financed by Los Angeles col
ored men. Stranger too, is the fact
that the majority of stockholders are
men of standing in business affairs and
ministers of the gospel living in OF
near Los Angeles.
This, it is said, simply illustrates the
advancement made by the colored race
when started in a legitimate business
| proposition backed by their own capi-
tai That they did not lack in courage
is evidenced by the fact that they took
up an abandoned property that had
been characterized as worthless and
opened a veritable store house of
precious metal.
TWenty-odd years ago Jimmy Orr,
an old prospector, made a sensational
strike in Eldorado canyon. The news
of his find spread rapidly and miners
came from far and near to see the pay
streak that was uncovered. Orr took
out a small fortune from the surface,
working with the primitive methods
then in use. Lack of transportation
facilities and distant supply points fol-
lowed by attacks of hostile Indians,
drove all the miners from the district.
Mining men examined the property
time after time only to report ad-
versely. No one seemed to have any
faith in its value. In fact ii was passed
up as worthless many times.
year ago Oscar Sims, a colored Los
Angeles plasterer, secured bond on
the property, and assisted by coterie
of wealthy colored men started de-
velopment work. The old workings
were cleaned out, new timbers placed
i'm the shaft to prevent caving, and the
old rotted ladderways removed Sink
ing was initiated and pay ore encoun-
tered. The Searchlight Bulletin is
authority for the statement that the
management is now sacking bonanza
ore running as high as $500 ton and
making regular shipments to the mills.
The Eldorado Gold Star Mining COM
pany is now equipping its property with
substantial buildings, hosting ma
chinery and mine equipment to facili-
tate exploitation at depth, blocking out
ore reserves enough to warrant the in
installation of a reduction plant.
Every cent used so far by this COM
pany has been subscribed by colored
people, principally in Southern Cali
fornia.
The chief owners in the company are
Rev. II. c. Cooper, Rev. G. w. Harts
Rev. S. b. Danley of Pasadena, Rev. q.
w. Shields, Rev. M. G. Pitts, Rev. G.
II. Anderson, II. Stricklin, Oscar Sims,

Angeles, and William Jones, capitalist

SILVER FALLS COMPANY
TO DEVELOP IN SESPE
New Concern Expends Thousands
of Dollars on Ventura
Oil Property

The Silver Falls Oil company has
lust been organized to develop Yalu-
able holdings in the Big Sespe dis
trict of Ventura county. The new COM
pany is capitalized at $5000O0, ana the
incorporators are Arthur r. Hull, pres
ident; w. II. Cline, secretary and
treasurer. and Mason Bradford, vice
president and manager.
They own 4S0 acres in the Big Sespe
field outright and have leased sixty
acres from the Big Sespe Oil COM
pany. All the land is said to be proved
for oil and situated favorably for
quick and successful development
Headquarters of the Silver Falls Oil
company will be in the w. II. He'll

Grating office will be at the property
The incorporators are spending
thousands of dollars in preliminary
work, it is said Roads are being put
in shape. Buildings are being erected,
water pipe lines laid and preparations
made for rapid development.
The company expects to have the
first drilling rig on the ground within
the next ten days. This will be the
first of four rigs ordered to be placed
at once. The first WE'LL will, it is
said be completed to the second sand,
at 900 feet depth, within the next six
weeks.
Arrangements have already been
made with the Big Sespe to handle
the production through its pipe line
TO Brownstone. Plenty of money is
said to be back of the Silver Falls
company to make it one of the best
producers in Ventura county.

STANDARD REFUSES To
PURCHASE MIDWAY OIL
Lack of Adequate Transportation
Is Cause for CurtaiIment
in Field

The STANDARD OH company has ceased
purchasing oil in the Midway. 1t will
make no contracts for either grade of
production. The lack of sufficient
transportation is the cause. The pres
ent single pipe line of the Standard
is now running to full capacity, with
the company's own production and ex-
listing contracts. Until recently, how
ever, the Standard was in the mar
ket for both grades of oil, product of
21.S gravity or lighter bringing 65
cents, while the heavier oil was con-
tracted for at 90 cents.
The capacity of the pipe line is be-
tween 10000 and 10000 barrels daily and
on Standard section 30 1924, the five
producing wells are producing sufficient
oil to supply about rs per cent of the
pipe line capacity Sunday last the
new No. well flowed 1000 barrels
which is an increase of its performance
of previous days. The famous No. 2
is doing about 5000 barrels and No. 3
about 300 barrels. With the two small
er wells, No. and No 6, which to-
gether are doing about 100 barrels a
day. the production from this section
alone will be sufficient to provide the
greater part OF the pipe line runs, if
1t continues at its present rate.
Work is progressing on the construc-
tion of the second pipe line, which
will double the present facilities. The
new line will be sixty or ninety days in
building.

CONTINUE AT DEPTH

Activity continues in the new min
ing camp of Gold Stone, thirty-tiVe
miles north of Barstow, and all re-
ports that the country has one of the
richest surface showings in the south
west are confirmed by returning pros
pectors. The new people, that recently
made strikes in the Gold Stone country,
are beginning to develop their claims,
believing that depth will reveal values
equal to the surface.
That depth has values has long since
been demonstrated by Thomas B.
Blackburn and associates of Oxnard,
who are down 200 feet on one of the
Old Betsie claims, adjoining the
claims of Henry Hart where the first
recent strike was made. The Old Bet
sic claims were first developed about
January, 1909, by Mr. Blackburn, an
engineer who has operated extensively
in Utah and Colorado. A shaft was
sunk and drifting done on the fifty foot
the 100 and the 200-foot levels. The
amount of drifting already accom-
plished amounts to 300 feet.
The shaft was started on a quartz
outcropping, which is traceable for 1000
feet. The first assay made on the sur
face showed $3394 a ton, chiefly in
gold. Other assays made on the sur
face shove values running from $32
to 1852 a ton. At the fifty-foot level as
says showed $551 ana $413 ton. From
the fifty-foot to the 200-foot the shaft
continues in the quartz, which, on ac-
count of erosion, bears no high values.
GRANITE AND LIMESTONE
The shaft follows the hanging wall
of granite and footwall of limestone
right down and 1t is the belief of the
owners of this property that with adj
ditional depth the high values will
again be encountered.
Mr.. Blackburn, who was in Los An
geles yesterday, said he was sure big
mine would be developed in the Gold
Stone district and that If he did not
get it somebody else would; that with
the wonderful surface showing the dis
trict couldn't help but develop at least
one big mine. Interested with Mr..
Blackburn in exploiting the Old Bet
sic property are Ben S. Virden, NJ. V.
Carr and DR.. II. NJ. Stair, all of OK
nard.
From the La Pluma claims, owned
by the same partnership, a shipment of
five tons was made last year. The
shipment was taken from pocket on
the surface and amounted to $3.50
gross. This shipment carried highest
in lead and silver. A few days ago a
shipment of twenty sacks was made by
one of the newcomers in the district
from the Barber claims. The shipment
was made to Los Angeles, but as yet
no returns have been announced.

 Trough the kindness of T. R. Doug lass and the Palace ice cream parlor we secured the use of another engine which enables us to issue today's pa per.
