GREENWATER PROVES
TOO LOW FOR PROFIT

RHYOLITE, Jan. 23.-As a contrast
to the many mining companies which
are failures, it might be we'll to tell of
one which has been so we'll managed
that while it's mining ground has
proved a failure, the company has still
substantial treasury and is taking
steps to carry out the intention of its
stockholders in developing and operat-
ing a profitable copper mine.
The Greenwater Copper company,
after sinking on its claims at Green
water to depth of 1400 feet and doing
other exploitation work, reached the
conclusion that while the property
contains copper it is too low in grade
to be made profitable, and that it
would be reasonable to utilize the re-
mainder of the treasury in developing
some other property. Consequently
Greenwater is being abandoned by the
company and it's machinery-one hun
dred tons of twill be Immediately
brought to the railroad at Death val
ley station, preparatory to being for
warded to the new location of the com
pany.
Just where the new location will be
is not determined-or at least not an
nounced. It is understood that the
company is investigating the merits of
other properties and it may be some
time before decision is made.

REPUBLICANS BLAMED FOR
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Editor of Harper's Weekly Says 1t
May Result in Overthrow
of the Party

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-That the
problem of the cost of living will mean
the oVerthrowing of the Republican
party within a very short time, unless
something not now on the horizon APP
pears to save it, is the belief of Col
George Harvey, editor of Harper's
Weekly,
Colonel Harvey blames the tariff pol
icy of the Republicans for the excess
sive prices to which the necessaries of
life have been forced, together with the
fact that the brunt of the hardship
has fallen upon the middle classes.
The people who compose these classes,
he thinks, will see to it that the party
which is not only responsible for the
increase, but also has betrayed the
country through false promises, is
driven from power.
For this reason it seems to me the
Democratic party could do no better
than to confine itself to the issue of the
high cost of living" said Colonel
Harvey.
1--WE are in a period of transition, .
he continued. Things have not adj
justed themselves, so far as this great
question is concerned. Take the profess
sional men for example, the college
professors, teachers in schools-all pro-
fessions, in fact, except iaw-and 1t
will be found their remuneration has
increased within the past ten years
practically not at all, while the cost of
living and of rearing families has adj
Vanced fully fifty per cent
"On the reverse side, consider the
men in the past ten years who have
trebled their fortunes through the ham
ding of stocks and the conduct of
fhpGn pOCf of
living is a mere bagatelle.
"This means there must be worked
out a readjustment. Unless this occurs
ends cannot be made to meet, and this
would be a hopeless economical situa-
tiOn"

PRODUCERS FAVOR
THE CLOSED DOOR

At the meeting of the members of
the Kern county and Coalinga agen-
cies held at Bakersfield Friday the
question to occupy the attention of
the session to the exclusion of all else
was whether or not the agencies
should be barred forever to those COM
panies which it is declared are now
reaping the benefit that comes through
the organization, or whether the door
be left open in the future as it has
been in the past. S. H.. Morsehead l..
p. ST. Clair and D. w. Carmichael led
in the fight for the closed door, while
II. II. Welch championed the other
side.
Following is a resolution introduced
by r. p. C. Smith at the meeting at
Bakersfield, which the oil men favor
and which may be adopted at some flu
ture date
'Resolved, That it be the sense of
the members of the Kern River and
Coalinga oil producing agencies that
no company or individual now produce
ing oil in the state of California be
admitted to membership in either of
the said agencies unless such applica-
ton for membership be filed on or be-
fore March /, 1910; and be it further
"ResolYed, That no company or in
dividual who may hereafter engage in
the business of producing petroleum in
the state of California be admitted to
membership in either of said agencies
unless application for membership be
filed on or before the first well is
drilled upon the property of said COM
pany or Individual"

SALESMAN HAS LONG
MATRIMONIAL RECORD
He Is Four Times Married and as
often Divorced in Six
Years

OMAHA, Jan. 23.-Four marriages
and four divorces in less than six years
such is the record established by
Leroy Maltby a travelling salesman.
Wife No. 1 sued in February, 1904,
alleging cruelty and failure to support.
In less than year Maltby married
Lillian B. Fogg. She, like wife No. 1,
got a divorce on the ground of cruelty
and failure to support. Nine days later
Maltby met his first wife, and both
admitted that they had made mistake
in securing the separation, and they
were married again. The second time
this wife remained married longer than
upon the previous occasion, for she did
not secure her divorce No. 2 until July
6, 9OS-non-support, as usual, being
the complaint.
Wife No. appealed to the courts
about six months after marriage, CIV
ing the same reasons as former wives.
In none of the suits has Maltby made
any contest. He takes the position that
there is no necessity for fighting di-
vorce proceedings, contending that as
wives are so easy to secure there is no
good reason why he should object to
any of them obtaining divorces.

ALLOW INCURABLES
TO DIE; USE MONEY
TO SAVE H0PEFULSl
Professor of Harvard Suggests Funds
Expended on Hopelessly Diseased
Could Be Better Employed

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 23.-Dr.
William Townsend Porter, professor of
philosophy at Harvard, enunciated the
theory that hopelessly unfit humans
should be allowed to die in order that
the money devoted to charity be used
to save the hopefuls. 1t follows that he
is denounced as a cold blooded scien-
fist and as unchristian. The theory
was advanced at a weekly lecture pe-
fore the Harvard medical school, where
DR.. Porter has held his chair for sew
enteen years. The doctor modified q
little today his position, but practically
reiterated his belief in the survival
under present conditions, of the fittest
He said in part in his lecture:
THE most pressing problem is what
shall we make of the present cond1-
tions? The first main problem we have
to consider is in regard to the relieving
of distress. 1t is evident there is not
money enough to go around. And 1t is
equally evident that it is desirable to
spend money on thing from which we
get the most value.
1--WE have in the neighborhood of all
large cities hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis. If we knew in 1888
what we do now in regard to the cure
of that disease, regiments of men would
be walking the streets who are now
dead. In such hospitals they Will not
take patients in an advanced stage OF
the disease, for if they did it would
ieopardize the lives of those already
there and defeat the purpose of the in
stitution. In other words, to save 5000
people, %, 900 and more may have to be
rejected.
at may seem cruel, but it illustrates
that we must concentrate our relief on
the most hopeful side of our population
and allow the rest to go the way OF
nature,
Children the Most Hopeful
"The children in town are the most
hopeful. That is why the relation Of
the growth of children to disease is an
important subject of modern life. 1t is
important that the educated children be
saved. They must be kept alive as long
as possible. 1t is a question whether
biologically the lives of those infants
who are marked from birth for death
are worth prolonging only to have them
succumb to the next crop of diseases,
the infectious diseases of childhood.
1.-THE question is one of economy.
Does this loss of money pay? Here is
a child kept alive only to fall a victim
later on. 1t is a mistaken idea to be-
lieve that everything depends on char
ity for the old and not on prevention
for the young. Cnar1ty means lndI
those who receive it give UP hope. Char
ity is the gravest psychological factor
in the life of the poor. 1t is an Off
cial stigma.
"The reason for the mistake of char
ity lies in history. 1t began in the
churches Persons with means have
been right in regard to their idea of
charity, but they should have been ere
ating a service for preventing. Instead
of organizations for charity there
should be citizens union for prevent
ing charity. When a person gets to
that point where he is physically unfit
for life, the most economical thing for
a community is not to give him relief"

WILL MARKET
ITS OWN OIL
COALINGA PRODUCERS END
CONTRACT
TRANSPORTATION COMPANY TO
HANDLE OUTPUT
New Arrangement Starts with stor=
age and Stump Hole Reserve.
Gas Pressure in Unity Well
Is 112 Pounds

The Coalinga Oil Producers agency
has completed its contract and WILL
after this, market it's own oil through
the Producers Transportation COM
pany, according to K. r. Eastman of
the Coalinga Times.
There was a shortage of 316,348 bar
rels to be delivered after January 1 to
complete the amount that the contract
calls for. The last two years have been
the most prosperous that the field has
ever seen and the outlook for the
future is even brighter than the past.
There is a large amount of oil in
storage and in sumps in the field,
most of which will be delivered to the
Producers Transportation company.
The Producers get 10 per cent for
handling the oil and the agency gets
the benefit of the market worked up by
the Union Oil company, the Producers
being a sub company of theirs. They
will handle the oil for a period of ten
years.
The Coalinga Unity Oil company is
tubing its well No. 1. No. 2 has gas
pressure of 112 pounds, which is still
rising.
The rig is completed for No. and
work will start at once. The company
has connected up with the gas for
drilling it's No. well and will furnish
gas to the neighboring leases.
The De Luxe Oil company is putting
in a circulator at its well No. 2. No. 1
has sanded up and is being cleaned out.
Gold Tip company struck hard
shell of four feet at SIG feet and ran
from that into a formation showing
some gas and oil. They are now down
$40 feet in their 121h-inch casing.
The Empire we'll on 92-19-15 is still
doing its good work, being good for
$50 barrels a day. The oil tests 1922
degrees gravity.
Well in Section IL
Wilcox & Fleishacker are putting
down a well on the southwest quarter
of 12-20-15. They are down about 300
feet. This is the same section as the
Coalinga Mohawk, which Will COM
mence operations again soon.
The Little Jumbo Oil company is
down 800 feet in its stovepipe casing.
The Acorn Oil company has cemented
off the water in its well No. L with Its
6N inch casing. Thomas Hays has the
contract. It is thought that within the
next 800 feet they will reach the sand
they are drilling for.
The Coalinga Red Top Oil company
is tubing it's well No. and indications
are that they have a well.
The M. K. and r. Oil company is
tubing it's we'll No 2. This well was
started with 1S-inch special casing
weighing 9S pounds to the foot. Mr..
Gormley went east to superintend the
making.
The California Coalinga company's
well sanded up again yesterday and is
being cleaned out and will be on the
pump again tomorrow.
Southeastern Limited Oil company,
1S-2O-16, is putting in it's 10-inch cas-
ing. It's 121s-inch casing was carried
the farthest of any string of that size
in the field. This was done with a
Johnson rotary, 1900 feet being made.
The rotary has been made and stand
ard set of tools is being installed to
take it's place. Tom Whaley is superin-
tending the work.

Able Assistance in Case of
Trouble

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Following the
annual custom, Sheriff Henry Scherp of
Westchester county will appoint num-
Der of wealthy men as deputy sheriffs.
Each will be required to furnish a bond
of $1,000 to protect the sheriff in case

DEVELOPMENT WAVE
STRIKES C0ALINGA

COALINGA, Jan. 23.-The wave Of
new development work is spreading
over the field. In all parts companies
are planning to start new strings In
operation, and from the plans thus far
made public it is evident that great
increase in production will be had
within three or four months.
The Associated and the Porter and
Scribner interests are making prepara-
lions to "shove down. new holes in
quick order and an extensive cam
paign of new work is being planned
for all their local properties
In the north end similar preparations
are under way. The Graham property
is starting two new strings. The Linn
tied also has new work under way
The Good Luck has just decided to
start two more strings, making three
to be kept in operation on this prop
erty. The Mohawk has two more go
ing. Further south, the Empire IS
planning three new wells Immediately
and if the Coalinga National gets the
expected encouragement another string
will be in operation there soon.
Will Soon Be Active
The Nevada Petroleum, which is now
on the producing list, will soon be a
scene of activity. Plans for several
more strings are being formulated.
TIE company has been long in getting
deduction, but now that it has oil it
plans to increase the output as rapidly
as possible.
Reports of new work on many diff
ferent properties are heard every day
Starting at this time, or within the
next month or six weeks, it is reasoned
that the transportation difficulties will
have adjusted themselves by the time
this new work is getting results, the

of this historic vessel has no little

been purchased by the Shimadzu Clan
and renamed the Kenko Maru during
pre- restoration days.
"After the restoration had been eff
fected the old ship was handed over
to the naval authorities and for some
time was used as training ship,
floating in the pond of the naval col
leges at Tsukiji. At the time, however,
no thought was entertained of perma-
nently preserving this sclentlncally
historic old ship.

Darwin's birth and honor was done to
the memory of the famous evolution

ly regretted the fact that all traces OF
the Beagle had been lost, and then
determined to continue lne ohce-dpdn-
dond investigat IN of the vessefs

I'm compliance with my request
Prince Shimadzu searched through the
old records and discovered the fact
that the Beagle or Kenko Maru had
been built at Liverpool and that the
clan purchased her in Nagasaki for
the price of $4,000 before the Meiji era,
or say fifty years ago. In the third
year of Meiji (S7O) the naval depart
ment purchased the ship from Lord
Shimadzu at Shinagawa, and in 1882
she was named the Fiji. in March,
1889. the ship was sold to Mr.. Oaki,
chief of the Oaki doekyards."
Afterward it was broken to pieces at
Shinawaga and one part of the hull
was used as the foundation for the
stones below the building of the Sui
tenga shrine at Ninyocho, Nihonbashi.
After having obtained such detailed in
formation of the whereabouts of the
vessel Mr. Shiga went to the shrine,
and sure enough there were the tim
bers, measuring three feet Ave inches
in length and one foot five inches in
thickness, unquestionably the ribs of

LEASE IN SECTION 80
COMPLETES THREE WELLS

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 23.-The K. R.

wells finished and will drill two more.
The lease consists of five acres under
the management of John Robertson,
one of the owners. One of the wells
was finished in the top sand at a depth
of $50 feet, but the production is small
and the we'll is to be deepened. The
two other wells were finished at 1850
feet and are producing 60 barrels each.
1t is understood that the capitaliza-

Los Angeles Mans Claim Yields
Eight-DolIar Ore from cuIbert-
son Vein--other Strike Goes
Forty Dollars

NEVADA CITY, Jan. 23.-Two
strikes have been made in the Granite
vile district recently which are the
most important in that section of the
county for some time. Word has been
received to the effect that a shoot of
ore has been encountered in the Dub
lin Bay ledge of the Erie mine that is
ten feet wide and the rock will mill
$40 a ton. Manager Eckis of the Erie
has been working both the Erie and
Dublin Bay veins since he took hold
of the property.
The Dublin Bay ledge crosses the
Erie near the mouth of the Erie tun-
nell The drift on the Dublin Bay mas
been extended ahead quite a distance
and the ledge has been gradually in
creasing and the quality of the ore I'M
proving Where the big shoot of high
grade was found is about $50 feet be-
low the surface. 1t is considered the
biggest find in the mine since the old
days when the Dublin Bay vein was a
heavy producer
The Erie is we'll equipped for mining
on a large scale, there being a good
surface plant, including a thirty stamp
mill, which was recently oVerhauled
and put in shape. The Erie Iunnel is
in a distance of 400 feet and shows a
good ledge.
Cuts Big Vein
After working patiently in the Keller
mine for several years past the cross
cut tunnel has crossed the main Gull
bertson ledge and where it was encoun-
tered the vein is ten feet between the
walls, while the ore will average about
So a ton. The ledge is tapped at
depth that will give several hundred
feet of backs to the surface.
The Keller property was purchased
from John Keller a few years ago by
= Frank A. Garbutt, well known Los
Angeles capitalist. Mr.. Garbutt has
spent large sum in opening the prop
erty, running a long lower tunnel to
tap the ledge. Some time ago ledge
was crossed which was at first be-
lieved to be the Keller vein, but it was
afterwards proved that it was not, so
the crosscut was extended ahead and
the strike made.
In the upper workings the Keller
vein paid we'll and the latest find at
such depth looks as if the property
has q great future. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Garbutt to run drifts both ways
on the ledge and thoroughly open it.
The Keller has the earmar6s of becom-
ing one of the largest propositions in
the Graniteville district.
