OLD VULTURE Mine
STRIKES RICH ORE

Ore running from $500 to $500 a ton
has just been discovered in the famous
Old Vulture mine near Wickenburg,
and the supply of this marvelously
rich ore is great, according to re-
port from Phoenix.
For the past two years the Vulture
which for years was tied up in liti-
cation, has been worked by Canadian
and Boston capitalists, who have
taken out a great deal of ore. The
new strike of rich ore was made but
recently and there is said to be
enough of it to run for a long time.
For the past two years the Vulture
ore has been worked through the old
mill, 20 of the old stamps having been
repaired and put in working order
Now, however, a new mill with twenty
stamps, each weighing 1900 pounds, is
being erected and will be completed in
the near future. The Rand gold mine
in South Africa is the only other prop
erty in the world that has mill with
1500-pound stamps.
The Vulture mine was discovered by
Henry Wickenburg in the early '5Os,
and up to the time it was thrown into
litigation approximately 500, 100000
were taken from it. Some of the best
mining men in the world have exam
ined the property, and are of the
opinion that the Vulture has only
been scratched, and that more money
will be taken out of it in the years
to come than was ever thought of by
the old owners.

OIL MEN FLOCK
TO BAKERSFIELD
WILL ATTEND DEBATE UPON
CLOSED DOOR POLICY
OPPOSING FACTION WOULD STOP
MOVEMENT
Unless New State of Facts Are Pre-
sented Independent Agencies viii
Refuse Admittance to Outside
Producing Companies

Many oil men are now at Bakers
field, and each train brings its con-
tingent for the meeting to be held
there tomorrow. The proposed closed
door policy will be fully discussed and
an effort made to stop the movement
that would bar n-members now pro-
ducing oil from entering the affiliation
at any future time.
About a month ago the Independent
agencies sent to all producers of Cali
fornia oil an invitation to the meeting
tomorrow.
Text of part of this letter follows:
b cat a meeting held January %, 1910,
in Bakersfield, Cal, composed of mem
bers of the. Independent Producers
agency of Kern county and the
Coalinga Producers agency it was de-
clared that the sense of the meeting
was that the two agencies should
close their doors to all producers not
now affiliated except under conditions
"First-That all companies now pro-
ducing should become members on or
before the first day of April, 1910.
''Second-That each individual COM
pany becoming a producer subsequent
to that date should make application
before or upon the completion of it's
first we'll.
"Unless a new state of facts is pre-
sented, the foregoing will undoubtedly
be the action taken at a second meet
ing to be held in Bakersfield March
l. notice of which meeting is hereby
given, and to which meeting all in
dividuals, firms and companies having
to do with the producing of California
oil are hereby invited in order that
the fullest opportunity be given to
all to discuss this proposition in all
it's bearings, to the end that the

the most nearly complete justice COM
bined with the fairest possible treat
ment of all shall be attained under
such circumstances as exist"

LIBERTY MINE MAKES
THIRD GOLD STRIKE

TONOPATI, Feb. 27.-A new strike
has been made in the Liberty mine, ac-
cording to information furnished by
Manager IT. S. Carnahan. 1t is at a
depth of 300 feet and the values run
about $4S a ton for three feet or more
in width.
This is the third strike OF import
ance in the mine in the past three
months and the showing in general
is more encouraging each day This
as with the former ones, was the mere
finding of ore bodies in a cross-cut
where it was expected and proves the
continuity of the vein system to a
Gratifying degree.
Mr. Carnahan states that it will
mean an enlargement of the mill by
the addition of a cyanide plant and
otherwise increasing its capacity. 1t
has ten stamps but the mill is not in
operation, the work now consisting
of proving ore bodies which are not
stopped and hoisted.
The values principally are in silver
and with the white metal back at its
normal price of 81 an ounce or more
this would mean 800 a ton for the
width of the present shoot. Concen-
tration does not save a fair percent
age of these values, hence the deter
niinatIon to add cyanide.

MOJAVE RIVER PROSPECT
WILL RECEIVE ATTENTION

ELSINMORE, Feb. 27.-The annual
meeting of the Elsinore Oil and Gas
company was held here last week.
The directors chosen were j. A. Crane,
l.. Fl. Young, John Timmis, Charles
Hudson, A. G. Keck, James Stewart
and w. C. Maloy. At the directors
meeting which followed, James Stew
art was elected president, l.. H. Young
vice president, j. A. Crane treasurer
and w. c. Maloy secretary.
The company was organized a year
or so ago for the purpose primarily
of developing oil on it's holdings of
1900 acres of oil lands on the MoJaVe
river, forty miles north of San Ber-
nardino. Drilling operations were
started, but the work was abandoned
during the winter on account of the
high water. The work will now be re-
sumed and T. A. Cline will leave soon
to take personal charge.

PEARY CHALLENGED BY SAN
ANTONIO MAN
Proposes to Spend Time and Money
on Large DirigibIe with Which
to Make Dash from North
ernmost Point

SAN ANTONIO, Feb 27-While not
doubling that Robert E. Peary reached
the north pole, DR.. Frederick j. Field
ing of this city is of the opinion that
confederation will be needed before
the world in general will recognize this
country's claim to the discovery. What
is more, he is quite willing to dedicate
his own efforts and money to that pur-
pose. Although he has correspondent
with both the National Geographical
society and Commander Peary he has
so far made little progress toward that
end the former has advised him that
it is fully satisfied with the
achievement of Commander Peary, and
the explorer has so far failed to even
reply to the letter of DIR. fielding.
Il am in earnest about this thing"
said DR.. Fielding. when interviewed on
the matter. Il have no doubt that
Commander Peary reached the pole,
or possibly thinks that he reached
it. While l am not fully familiar with
the instruments he used in his obser-
vations 1 have been informed by a
number of leading scientists that the
ordinary instrument used for oriental
tion purposes would hardly prove to
be serviceable in the polar regions.
Whether this is so or not / am not in
a position to say, though the men. who
have warned me to take along special
instruments in case 1 should go are
above having ulterior motives.
Il am not interested in this matter
from a controversial point of view, nor
do | look upon the proposition as a
picnic. 1t would cost me all of $780, 900
to finance the expedition, as far as my
part of it goes, and while spending
this sum would not hardship me, GER
tainly do not want to spend it use
lessly, and make a fool of myself be-
sides. The fate of DIR. Cook has not
the slightest attraction for me. If
the National Geographical society and
possibly Commander Peary thinks this
is a joke they are badly mistaken"
In his letter to Peary DR.. Fielding

KIMBERLY OPERATORS
GUARD VALUABLE ORE

KIMBERLY, New, Feb. 27.-Rich
high grade has been found in many
places in the development of the mining
claims at Kimberly.
In some instances the owners who
have found it have discreetly covered 1t
IN and continued their work at other
points on the claims, keeping the rich
finds for the present as reserves.
But in the development of the claims
of the Hill Top and independence com
nanies. where large quantities of high
Grade have been found, the work is con-
tinued at those points.
AS a precaution against stealing this
ore those companies are building fences
around the points where the high grade
is found. Watchmen will be placed on

CANADIANS SEEK
WEST SIDE LAND

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 21.-Charles A.
Lee of San Francisco, who is attorney
for a syndicate of Canadian capitalists,
is here to acquire West Side oil prop
erty for the Canadians. With him is
e. P. Howard, who is also largely in
terested in the syndicate.
The Canadian capitalists. who are
headed by John N. Redmond, president
of the Royal Loan and Trust company
of Vancouver, have already acquired
valuable holdings in the Maricopa and
Midway fields.
Lee says much Canadian capital is
coming to this country and most of all
to the West Side oil fields, where Can
adian interests are growing every day.
Lee is no stranger to the oil business.
He was for a long time attorney for
Charles A. Fair, the San Francisco mil
lionaire. who was killed in France in
an automobile accident a few years
ago. Fair held oil land in Fresno
county, and Lee drilled all his wells
there.

MINER BELIEVES BANN0CK
WILL TURN INTO COPPER

Frank p Crews. a miner who was
formerly employed in Tonopah and
who is known to every old-timer in
Southern Nevada, says there are rich
pockets of gold at Bannock, but gives
it as his belief that eventually it will
be a copper and silver camp, in which
case copper will occur in large bodies,
probably low grade, at depth.
With that as the situation he does
not consider it a camp for the poor
prospector at this time, but has the
highest faith in the future of the coun-
try when capital takes hold of 1t and
furnishes money and equipment to do
that class of developing and mining.
