MINING. ABOUT RAMONA,
NEVADA, KEEPS ACTIVE

]. F. Mitchell of Ramona, New, says
a great deal of activity is now on
throughout that district. Mr.. Mitchell
is sinking a straight shaft to develop
a big vein on his property there and
is down something over 100 feet. He
expects to catch the vein on its dip at
about $50 feet, where he anticipates
better values than he has yet shown.
The old incline shaft was sunk to
about 70 feet, proving the vein for that
distance in good shape, but the disad-
vantage of an incline decided him to
start u new and vertical shaft.
The high grade streak of tale in the
incline will show values into the thou
sands of dollars ton, ana the entire
vein for a width of fifteen feet will
average about SIS. Mr.. Mitchell has
$500 feet along the vein and believes
this property will make a very notable
producer when properly developed.
The formation is similar to Aurora
and Bodie and Aurora is plainly in
sight from the new camp. Mr.. Mitchell
expects to see some glory holes de-
Veloped in Ramona that will closely
approach some of the old bonanzas of
Aurora.
Considerable work is being done
around the camp by other outfits, and
good values have been found over
quite an expanse of territory. The
general outlook is encouraging for the
operators who are now doing develop
ment work.

STOCKHOLDERS FILE SUIT
AGAINST THE BLACK BEAR

NEVADA CITY, July 11.-Complaints
against the Black Bear Gold Mining
company, in which demand is made
for the return of 100000 shares of stock
said to be Illegally held by the compa-
ny, were filed Thursday at Sacramento
by j. H. English, Jean A. Egan and
Alice Egan, stockholders. The stocks,
which are said to be worth in the
neighbOrhOOd of $4,000, have been con-
verted by the company to its own use
without authority, it is claimed.
Each one of the plaintiffs held 100000
shares of stock. Their certificates for
the stock We're transferred to the COM
pany and in lieu thereof they were Civ
en- a certificate for $4,000 shares EACH
the company retaining the other $4,000
shares on each certificate.
The Black Bear mine property is To-
Gated near Rough and Ready, and its
affairs have been aired in court before
in an action to cancel the election of
board of directors
A contest is on among the directors
for control Of affairs, and the action
involving this phase Of the question is
now before Superior Judge Shields of
Sacramento and will come up for trial
in his department about the first of
September. The controversy is said to
be between the eastern investors, who
have spent 100000 in the mine, and the
California stockholders, each striving
to put in power a friendly board of
directors.
The details of the transfer of the
Egan and English stock were not given
in the complaints filed, the allegations
being of a most general nature. Coun-
sci for the plaintiffs treated the whole
matter as a grave secret.

BROoKSHIRE SHOWS OUTPUT
TO BE $4,000 BARRELS OIL

The Brookshire Oil company has COM
piled an estimate which shows that
two wells of the company in the Santa
Maria field are producing at the rate of
$4,000 barrels a month. For some time
past this company has been engaged
in deepening other wells owned by 1t
for the purpose of enlarging the output,
and is meeting with success in the ven
ture.
The Brookshire continues its opera
tions in the California oil fields. Well
No. Is down 1875 feet and No. 8 is on
the 1200-foot level. No. is drilling and
meeting with good formations. The
first two wells are proceeding slowly at
present, as rocky formation was
struck by the drills, but the company
is penetrating the hard bottom and eX-
poets to have smooth and fast drilling
in a short time.
The company has already purchased
the necessary material and equipment,
the same having been delivered on the
ground for the beginning of four new
rigs. They are to be built at once, ana
the work of drilling begun as soon as
possible.

RICH ORE APPEARS IN
RED TOP SILVER MINE
Samples from Old Arizona Prop
erty Recently Reopened AS
say 100 Ounces a Ton

PRESCOTT, July 11.-Authentic re-
parts from the old Tip Top silver mine,
in the southeastern part Of the county
say the car level at a point about 1000
feet from the entrance a body of very
rich ore has been encountered.
To support this discovery e. G.
Wager of this city also received sew
eral samples from the find, which carry
values that assayed to over HOO ounces
10 the ton, showing the old characters
tics in mineral when that property was
famed in the west. The samples dis
played carry brittle silver, chloride and
horn silver
The property is being reopened along
the old tunnel, and in cleaning out the
works this body was cut into by Frank
Wager, who is in charge of the enter
prise. In a letter he says the discovery
is big and rich enough to warrant the
beginning of operation on large scale,
and he feels enthusiastic over the con-
ditions determined at that one point,
and that he will rush the work to get
the ground under development at the
earliest possible date.
The yield has been heavy from this
find, and the purpose is to get carload
out for shipment to FL Paso imme-
diately The resumption of work on
this famous old producer of pioneer
days was started a few months ago,
mainly by Ed and Frank Wager, who
were mining in that district over thirty
years ago, when the Tip Top mine was
one of the greatest silver producers In
the west.
From their association with the prop
erty in that day they were better for
titled than any other mining people to
form an accurate idea of the actual
conditions prevailing when the property
was closed down through litigation,
and later abandoned. In reopening the
property under a corporate creation
known as the Tip Top Heath Milling
and Mining company, one of the prln-
cipal objects was to handle and treat
the immense tonnage of tungsten ores
that was discarded in the early days
in milling that product.
OF this mineral there is sufficient to
warrant the installing of concentrat-
ing plant and estimates made from re-
cent measurements of the old dumps
will substantiate the wealth contained.
The development of the rich silver ore
a few days ago creates renewed in
terest in this old mine, and revives a
mining proposition that will again be
the scene of lively interest from now
on ii is said

BOBBY BURNS COMPANY
ENTERS FINE TAR SAND
After Struggle for Months with a
. Heaving Formation DriIIerS
Get First Results

BY going into a fine streak of tar
sand at $50 feet Saturday the Bobby
Burns Oil company, drilling in the east
half of the northeast quarter of Sec
tion s, 1922, far out on the McKittrick
fiat, proves up a great eXpanse of ter
ritory and will lend much encourage
ment to operators in the vicinity who
have been struggling with heaving
sands and other obstacles for many
weeks past.
The well of the Bobby Burns went
through the same difficulty, having
been troubled with the heaving sands,
and finally, after much effort, the wa
ter was shut off and the sand cased off
at about 800 feet. At SS2 the tar sand
was encountered. Superintendent T. ].
Burns is highly elated with the dis
covery, and has high hopes of bringing
in a well.
The Bobby Burns Oil company is an
organization of Santa Barbara business
men, who are drilling under contract
with o. Tetzlaff of McKittrick and w.
V. Matlack of Bakersfield, who have
the northeast quarter of the section
The Bobby Burns is to receive eighty
acres for successfully putting down
we'll. The controlling interest in the
Bobby Burns lies with T. NJ. Stork, late
of the Santa Barbara Independent, and
Messrs. Williamson and Edwards,
prominent business men of that city

COMPLETE MOTOR TEST
FOR OIL WELL PUMPING
Electric Company Carries On Ex-
pertinent in Sherman Field
for Months, and Succeeds

The Pacific Light and Power COR
poration has completed tests that are
expected to revolutionize the methods
of oil pumping in California fields. !.
Four months tests have been carried
on in the Sherman field in pumping
by electric motor, and at present the
company is prepared to guarantee mo-
tors to operate at a saving of fully
$500 a year over the old steam plant
methods 1t is said.
Five motors are being installed at
present in the Coalinga field, and mo-
tors in lots of fifty are being shipped
from the east.
The company estimates the cost of
installation of motors at less than
$500. In this way the motors will pay
for themselves in less than years
time.
The motors are already tested in the
handling of tubes. rods and in clean
ing, aside from straight pumping, and
experiments are being carried on in an
effort to test their ability in drilling
