PATRICK'S BLACK BUTTE
SHIPS ORE FROM LEASE

D. GOLDFIELD, New, Nov. 24-Ship-
ments are being made from the Ginnity
lease on the Black Butte above the tun-
mel level, where a fair-sized body of
ore has been opened. The ore is an OK
idized quartz such as is CHARACTERISTIC
of the upper workings of the Black
Butte property.
Mr.. Ginnity has also taken lease
on the main shaft and is now unwater-
ing it preparatory to extensive work
on the 300-level.
Considerable ore has been produced
from the deeper workings in days gone
by, and Mr.. Ginnity believes that he
can open another pay shoot in that
territory There is a large amount OF
milling ore IN sight in the property,
but it is not of sufficient value to ship
to smelter.
Plans for the construction of a mill
at as early a date as possible are now
being worked on by L. l.. Patrick,
president of the company, and when
brought to a successful conclusion will
make the Black Butte an important
producer.

NOVEMBER PRODUCTION
MAY SHOW A DECLINE
Oil Situation Improves, and, 0p-
orators Are Optimistic
as to the Future

While no accurate information is yet
available bearing the probable produc-
tion and consumption of California oil In
November, tho consensus of opinion in well
informed circles seems to be that there
will be practically no change as compared
to October.
A further decline in production looks
probable, however, providing no big wells
OF constant yielding caliber are developed.
1t is believed the natural decline OF the
takeview and other big wells in the MID
way country will have the effect OF Off
setting the 100, 900 barrels said to have been
produced by the last big well, Midway
Premier Oil company, in November.
Consumption can hardly be expected to
make such a showing in November as 1t
did in October. decline rather than an
increase is to be expected.
Concisely, the situation is very much i'm
proved and all operators ara taking an op-
timistic attitude to the 1uture

OIL POOL SAID TO LIE
UNDER CITY OF DOUGLAS

r,orrcr.As Nov. 24-Concurrent with re-
norts OF oil being struck near Dowie few
days since, old timers of Douglas are Pc
ginning to allow their minds to revert TO tne
S,isit.- Of an oil expert to that place several
Years ago At that time he declared that
Douglas was the center of an oil belt a mile
and a half in width and extending from tne
S,,Inhur Springs valley down into Mexico.
r. A Taylor of Douglas, who passed through
the city this morning on his way to Tomb
stone, recalled the incident in speaking OF the
TN o,I man. who came from the Pennsyl-
yanis oil fields, declared that he was willing
70 stake his reputation and his life as well
that Douglas was in an oil district, ana una Inat
80 o,I,,in9 the town was vast reservoir con-
tatnjng the black. greasy liquid that has made
90 many American millionaires. At that time
there was no one who cared TO PACK tne ,Inl man
Pieces of oil bearing shale are not >infre-

MOUNTAIN VIEW MINE
STRIKES HIGH GRADE
Picked Sample Assays $2275 in
Silver and GoId-Ship-
ment Is Made

DOUGLAS, ArIz, Nov 24.-The Mountain
View property is in ore running high IN
gold and silver, a ten-foot vein Of which
was encountered recently. The second car
load of the rock has been shipped to the
Copper Queen smelter by John Corning anu
associates who are working the property
under a lease
An assay from a picked sample Of the
ore received this week showed values OF SzzIo
to the ton. There is said to be much OF
this bonanza ore in sight.
The greater part of the vein Is, OF course
Of a much lower grade than this return
would indicate, yet shows such high mlheIal-
ization that local mining men exclaimed over
1t when they saw samples yesterday.
The samples were picked at random from
pile of ore on the dump where 1t was
piled ready for shipment to the Douglas
smelter by j. ]. Patton, who is interested
in the ground.
Besides its ore content the ore is especially
valuable as 1t is extremely siicious. rms
feature is a great one for the leasers as
the smelter treats their shipments free OF
charge in order to secure this silicious rock
which is good for their furnace Innings. rms
takes one burden from the ore, making IL
stand only the mining and freighting tolls
and rendering the net returns much larger
than would otherwise be possible.

LOSES HOLIDAY
TO FINISH CITYS WORK
No Successor to Clerk Yet Chosen
Though He Leaves Early
in January

City Clerk II. ]. Lelande did not take
holiday yesterday as did all the other Off
ciais. Nearly all day he was busy at his
desk, for he must clean up all his work within
the next two weeks. He will resign December
TO- and does not want to shift any Of his work
to his successor.
Lelande win begin his duties as county clerk
the first Tuesday in January. He will have a
larger salary than the city pays him and will
serve four years instead of two.
Lelande had planned to go east on short
trip before assuming his duties but finds
that he cannot do it and finish the work he
has on hand 1t will be necessary for him to
sign many bonds before he resigns, the city
officials are anxious that as many Of the
Owens river issue possible bear the same
signature To this end the mayor, the city
clerk and the city auditor have been signing
bonds for several weeks in anticipation of
selling them to the New York syndicate.
The council appears to be as much at sea
to whom to appoint, as Lelandes
successor. The council has asked Lelande to
recommend a successor, but he is 10th to
do so.
II any one is chosen from the present clerks
force it probably will be Frank M. yelling

ment work that passes through the clerks

just been published by the United states geo
logical survey as bulletin 4S5, under the title
The principal purpose of the reconnaissance
New Mexico and Northern Arizona
The principle purpose of the reconnaissance
was to determine the prospect of obtaining
deep-seated underground water supplies in TINS
region, a task that involved the examination
of the succession and structure of the geologic
strata in a broad area especially in the hgh
plateau of Arizona. In the course Of his work
Mr. Darton made descents into the Grand can
Won at several places. as well as trips TO the
southern margin OF the plateau.
Parts of the Reconnaissance covered ground
that has become historic in American geology
ground long ago traversed by Powell Gill
bert Dutton, Newberry and Walcott, whose
reports are cited freely by Mr.. Darton
The bulletin describes the geology OF the
region and gives the records Of several deep
boTings. 1t includes a selected bibliography
and is illustrated by twenty-five maps views
and figures. A copy Of the bulletin can pc

MAKE SIX NEW STRIKES

Operators in the Lost Hills are still
reticent about disclosing details of their
strikes, but It is announced on good
authority the oil sand has been uncov-

that light oil with quantities OF gas
has been struck at 400 feet in the south
ern part of township 27-22, several
miles southeast Of the Lost Hills town
site.
All these strikes, however, are being
kent more or less under cover for the

and then the derricks are moved on to
