.KEPLER GROUP SCENE
OF RED METAL STRIKE

YUMA, Ariz., Jan. IA sensational
strike of copper and silver was made
in the Kepler group of claims January
10, when a two and a half foot vein of
ore carrying 40 per cent copper and
from 1000 to 1000 ounces in silver was
answered. The vein was encountered
in a drift leading from the bottom Of
a forty-foot shaft and gives every in
dication of permanency and increasing
width. Samples of the ore displayed in
the city created great interest in min
ing circles, and the opinion prevails
that another big producer has been
discovered.
The Kepler group of claims is locat-
ed about seven and half miles north
east of Globe and in district famous
in the early days for silver production
and today known as the richest copper
section in the Globe district The dis
covery is orl0 what is known as the
Yuma fault, and the rich ore exposed
is within 1900 feet of and an extension
of the same ledge in which 100000 in
silver was taken out when Globe was
known as a silver camp.

DEVILS DEN WELL FAILS;
PROMOTERS TO TRY AGAIN

COALINGA, Jan. 15.-The strike in
the Devils Den Consolidated on %, 25-1S
is conceded to- have been of no value
and the second hole is to be put down
near the center of section 21, three
quarters of a mile west, toward the
outcrop.
The much heralded strike" consisted
of about two and half feet of sand
carrying a high gravity oil. High hopes
were entertained at first, but the guam
tity found was so small that it means
abandonment. 1t is not possible even
to get enough fuel from No. 1 to fur
nish steam for the drilling of No. 2.

REWARD OIL WILL
NOT JOIN AGENCY

MKITTRICK, Jan. 15.-It is said that
after all the Reward Oil company will
not join the producers agency, this
having been prevented by the pressure
brought to bear upon certain large
stockholders, who are financially under
obligations to and associated with the
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
which for that reason was able to COM
pei the company to sign up its produc-
tion with the Associated.
The company has just received ma
terial for eight derricks and will begin
the drilling of a series of twenty-one
wells, maintaining four strings for that
purpose.

COPPER MERGER WILL NOT
AFFECT MINES OF ARIZONA
Clark Says Combination. Concerns Only
Three or Four Districts Guggenhein
Believes Supply Should Be Regulat-
ed According to the Demand
BY W. A. CLARK

N THE general revival of business
following now throughout the
country upon the period of depres-
sion I look for very healthy condition
of the copper industry in the west.
Copper is one of the staple and most
widely used metals. The expansion of
electrical lines of all kinds has greatly
increased the demand for the metal
Copper as a conductor is bound to have
an enormous consumption. Eventually
all our railways will be operated by
electric power.
With the absorption of large quanti
ties of iron, steel and copper, metals
whose uses go hand in hand, we shall
reach a normal stage which will wit
ness a reasonable advance in the price
of copper. Should it reach a point
where, according to the agreement be
tween the mine owners and the union,
wages may be increased, there would
be great satisfaction to all concerned
and greater prosperity to the commun-
ity.
While there was much dispute as to
the causes that brought on the panic
of two years ago, 1 believe that 1t
could be explained by reckless eXtrava-
gances, wild speculation, unearthing of
gigantic frauds in high places, and an
unyielding currency system. Financial
corporations have been putting their
houses in order. In two recent cases of
extreme market disturbance the gov
ernors of the stock exchange have
hastened on their own behalf to con-
duct Investigations.
People Cut Expenses
The people generally have been cut
ting their expenses so as to produce a
margin of safety between their incomes
and their expenses. AS for the defects,
or. rather, the inelasticity of the cur
rency system, we are awaiting the
conclusions of the national monetary
commission in the hope that they will
produce a remedy. Thus all signs indi-
cate that the country is prepared to
enjoy a saner and more wholesome
prosperity than before the panic.
The copper merger is not merger in
the popular sense of a trust; it does
not contemplate discrimination and will
not affect Northern Michigan mines nor
Arizona. With possibly a single ex-
ception, it simply is the getting to-
gether of three or four interests.
There is worldwide overproduction |
of copper that will have to be worked |
off. but the new uses to which the metal |
is being put are increasing. To bring |
a reasonable profit copper should sell |
for Is cents or over.

COALINGA, Jan. 15.-The expert
ment of the Ell Cerrito, which drilled a
deep hole to the southeast of this field,
is regarded as having proved absolutely
that the territory in which it is operat-
ing is not oil bearing.
The test is deemed to have been
thorough comprehensive and sufficient.
The next well, if one is drilled, will be
much farther back toward the break.

MARICOPA, Jan. ia well is to

one-half miles east of the Ethel L. 5
sensational producers by the Golden
Gate Petroleum company, organized in
san Francisco by L. A. Crandau, pro-
moter of the Honolulu and Hawaiian
companies. A camp is now being built.
Ihls experiment will prove whether
or not the rich sands found recently
by the Wellman and the Ethel d. ex-
tend across the floor of the fiat to the
point where the Buena Vista hills run
INTO the valley.
The land is decided having been pat
ented to l. Baccigalluppi thirty years
ago. A cash fund of $52, 900 for de-
Velopment purposes was put into the
company's s treasury when the organ
iZatiOn was effected.
Ethel D. No. 1 is doing a steady
1000 barrels day. of 10 gravity oil,
according to Standard runs, and has
been flowing steadily at that rate ever
since the head was reduced. No. 2,
a short distance away, gives promise
of being a bigger we'll than No. 1. 1t
is flowing this week at a 200 barrel
rate, and it seems reasonable to be-
lieVe that the record of it's companion
will be duplicated, if not exceeded,
when it is finished.
Busiest Point in Maricopa
About the busiest point in the whole
Maricopa field is around the half-mile
post on the south line of 36-12-24
where are grouped the Monte Cristo,

man. All are struggling with might
and main to get holes down, and ow-
ing to the comparatively shallow
depth, less than 1900 feet, and the eX-
treme richness of the sands a large
increase in the production of the Mari
copa district is looked for within the
next two weeks, in addition to the
steadily mounting production of the
older section where the regular ac-
tivity is being displayed.
The NJ. & NJ No. l, near the south
east corner of section 36-12-24, evi-
IDENTIFY is a big we'll. This location is
a half mile north of the Wellman
and Ethel d. wells and the formationI
is much the Same as that found inl
the latter, although the depth is about
$50 feet greater.
This well has thrown the oil oyer
the crown block repeatedly, and all
signs point to great well, possibly
a duplication of those to the south
on the same section.
The Unions Lake View No. l is
evidently in oil. The derrick Is as
black as any in the field and several
sump holes have been constructed.
The hole Is within the district defined
by the big wells on the south line
