VATICAN DENIES CAUSING
DELAY OF DEMONSTRATION
Holy See Maintains Wholly Ex-
traneouS Attitude

ROME, Aug. 15.-Owing to a misun-
derstanding it was stated at the time
of the abandonment of the clerical
demonstration at San Sebastian. Au-
gust 7, that the vatican had instructed
the Roman Catholics of Spain to pre-
vent the manifestations. The vatican
now wishes it clearly known that this
statement was incorrect. The Holy
See maintained a wholly extraneous
attitude on the subject, taking no
steps regarding the movement and do
ing nothing either to promote or pre-
vent 1t. The vatican issued today an
official denial of the report that Mon
sfgnor Benigni, under secretary of
state at the vatican, had left for Spain
to meet a representative of the gov
eminent for confidential communica-
tions about a settlement of the con-
troversy. The statement was first
printed on Saturday by the Giornale
d Italia mentioning without names the
departure of the monsignor attached to
the department of the papal secretary.
The clerical organ Corriere d. Italia
promptly published a note denying the
story, whereupon the Giornale d. Italia
reiterated the statement, giving the
name of Monsignor Benigni as the Of
fetal concerned.

MIDWAY NORTHERN MAKES
FAVORABLE FIELD REPORT
Local Company with Productive
Well Expects to Pay Divi-
dendS in Short Time

A letter addressed to stockholders by
the Midway Northern Oil company
signed by Secretary Sam Warmbath,
shows that company is making pro-
gress and will probably soon be on a
dividend paying basis. The letter in
part reads
while you can appreciate it will
take a little time to get matters on
the Midway Northern property in such
shape that a continuous daily produc-
ton will be maintained, we know you
are interested in hearing from time to
time of progress accomplished.
Two 1000-barrel steel tanks have
been erected near the 10000 barrel
stump lin which we already have 10000
barrels Of oil awaiting disposition);
line for pumping oil through the pipe
lines has been installed and the line
arranged for, so 1t will be a matter
of but a few days to lay same and
start regular daily deliveries. 1t is
taking considerable time to get well
No. l thoroughly cleaned out, due to
the fact that every few hours the well
breaks loose and flows over the top
of the casing, frequently clear over
the top of the derrick, which makes it
difficult for our crew to install the
6-inch 'agitating string inside the
S-inch casing. In order to prevent any
possible danger of fire it became nee
essary to move the boiler several hun
dred feet away from the derrick, on
account of gas accompanying the oil.
1--WE wish to report that two large
oil marketing companies are bidding
us at present for our entire production
and we anticipate the closing of this
contract as soon as the property is in
shape to start steady production,
which will likely be within the next
week or ten days. Two oil companies
which have just started drilling OPP
erations near us on the east are at
present buying a small quantity of
oil from us at go cents a barrel.
1--WE wish to say that all matters
pertaining to the success of this COM
pany are progressing favorably.
Preparations for drilling we'll No.

on will be reported soon"

BLAME MERRY DEL VAL
FOR ACTS OF VATICAN

MADRID, Aug ia semi-official
note issued today attributes to Cardi-
nal Merry del Val, the papal secretary
of state, sole responsibility for the acts
of the vatican in the controversy with
Spain. The note says that the state
nents issued by the cardinal for the
purpose, according to the note, of in
tiuencing the press or the world, will
make no impression on the Spanish
government.
THE congregation of extraordinary
ecclesiastical affairs" the inspired
note says, never was consulted during
the negotiations between Spain and the
vatican, which have been going on for
months. Premier Canalejas knows that
troversy was taken solely by Cardinal
Merry del VAL"

MERRY DEL VAL WILL
MEET WITH DIPLOMATS
Matters Quiet in Spanish Contro-
versy-Pope Confident
of Church's Success

ROME, Aug 15.-There are no de-
velopments today in the controversy
between the Vatican and the Spanish
government. On account of religious
festivities all work at the Vatican was
suspended and the pope gave no au-
diences.
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary of state, remained through
out the day at his summer residence
on Monte Mario, but he was in COM
munication with the pope for brief
period by the telephone this afternoon.
He said that he did not expect to
come to Rome until Friday morning,
when he will receive the diplomatic
representatives.
The pope again expressed confidence
in the ultimate success of the church
in the fight,

GREENE CANANEA REDUCES
PRODUCTION IS PER CENT

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 15.-The July
production of the Greene-Cananea Cop
per company is expected to be about
the same as for the past few months,
or slightly in excess of 100000 pounds.
The output will soon show a falling off
of about Is per cent, as the company
has decided to curtail to that extent,
which policy goes into effect at once.
There are now being operated six
furnaces at the Greene plant, and
while none of them is likely to be
entirely closed down they will not be
run to capacity.
There has been a slight improve
ment in the copper contents of the
ore, which is now running about fifty
pounds to the ton, against forty-eight
pounds last year. This Improvement
will offset to a considerable extent the
increased costs resulting from the
Iessened production.
The investments which the Greene
company recently made in the Indiana
Sonora Copper company is proving
judicious one, as the heavy silver val
ues contained in the IndianaSonora
ores are a material factor in reducing
the copper costs of the Greene-Cananea
company.

Her Relatives
GIRL LEAVES A NOTE BEHIND

Police detectives are searching for
two missing women, both pretty
blondes, one a wife and the other a
miss of 49, The wife, Mrs. Floyd E.
Jones of 4S17 South Olive street, has
been missing for three months. Her
husband, who sought the aid of the
detectives yesterday, is unable to ex-
plain why she left home.
Miss L.isle Miller, pretty blonde of
IS, has been missing from the home of
her sister, Mrs. Silvia Bush, 1916 East
Fifty-third street, since July 20, and the
police detectives were appealed to yes
terday to aid in locating the young
woman. 1t is thought that she is in
San Francisco, as before leaving she
had often expressed the wish to go to
that city, and it was the only place in
the west with which she was at all
acquainted
Miss Miller was left at home to take
care of her little nephew July 20, while
the boys mother was up town shop
ping. When the mother returned she
found the house deserted and a note
awaiting her. This note said:
Il am going away with man met
last evening. The boy is at a neigh
bors.' 1t was signed Lisle.
Miss Miller came to Los Angeles in
May from Michigan to live with her
widowed sister, Mrs. Bush. She was
apparently happy here and had never
complained or seemed to desire any
thing except to go to San Francisco.
She is a pretty girl of the blonde type
and wore handsome clothes. When she
went away she was attired in a dark
suit of expensive material and wore
large black picture hat.
1t is believed that she became ac-
quainted with some man who, discov-
ering her longing to go to San Fran
cisco, persuaded her against her better
Judgment to accompany him. The de-
tective bureau in San Francisco will
be notified and a watch kept for the
young woman.
Mrs. Jones is described as 20 years of
age, of medium height and pretty. She
wears glasses. Jones believes out
siders persuaded his wife to leave home
and that she is in hiding in Los An
geles.

CENTURION IN DRAGON
ENTERS RICH ORE BODY

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 15.-According
to reports received here this week from
Dragon, the Centurion Mining COM
pany has encountered a rich body of
ore. J. P. Richardson, writing about
the new strike, says:
I'VE have struck it rich on the 440-
foot level of our shaft. This strike is
the best we have ever encountered in
the Centurion. 1t will make the Cen
turion famous. The ore and iron
comes in the hanging wall with almost
a vertical trend. After fifteen feet
more of sinking the fifth station will
be cut out and drifting by the ore both
ways from the station will be COM
menced. Shipment of ore will begin
during the next sixty days"

STRONG GAS PRESSURE

COALINGA, Aug. 15.-The Coalinga
Royal is down 205O feet in eight-inch
casing, with a strong gas pressure still
showing. This morning the derrick
buckled, necessitating a small job for

paired. The water was shut off at 1900
feet, and since then no water has been
encountered.
Well No. of the California Oil and

BABooUIVARIs ACTIVE

TUCSON, Aug. 15.-Mining is espe-
cially active in the Baboquivaris at
present, according to F. A. Kiutt, as a
fine placer bed has been found only
twelve feet below the surface. This
bed is believed to extend to the Qui-
tojoa region and then on to the Altar
district in Mexico. The Papago Indi-
ans, according to Mr.. Kiutt, discov-
cred the bed without really knowing
what they were scraping for. The dis
covery is causing great interest in the
district and claims are being taken.
In addition to the placer work there
is considerable shaft work going on.
The most extensive work along this
line is being done bv b. c. Brichta of
this city, and it is the opinion of Mr..
Kiutt that Mr.. Brichta's prospects are
excellent.

LAKEWEw OUTPUT DECREASES

The amount of water in the output
of the Lakeview oil gusher, near Mari
copa, has increased to Z per cent of
the entire production, which is now
90 900 to $1,000 barrels daily, according
to official reports received at the Of
fees of the Union Oil company.
The decrease in the flow of the we'll
has been steady, and there is now no
difficulty in caring for the output
Officials of the field department of
the Union say there is no basis for
report that the Sage well, which was
brought in near the gusher, gives
promise of becoming as great a pro-
Queer as was the latter when at the
height of it's production. The Sage
well shot oil 200 feet above the derrick
for two hours, and then sanded up.
Pockets of gas have been found in
other wells in the locality.
