FORTY GRAVITY NEAR
COAL|NGA IS RUMOR
BaiIer on Bohemian Brings Up
Light Brown Oil from
5000 Depth

COALINGA, Nov. 21s-Excitement
prevails here on account of the show
ing of the Bohemian Oil company,
which has been drilling on the north
west quarter of 26, 21-15. Several par
ties made the trip to the scene Of oper-
ations and brough back samples of oil
brought up by the bailer, through 1000
feet of water. The samples showed oil
of a lighter grade ever discovered in
this field, being placed by well In
formed oil men at close to 40 gravity.
The oil is but little thicker than water,
and is of a light brownish color.
The we'll is in the neighborhood of
$500 feet deep and Henry Sewers, the
superintendent, is having it bailed out
to test the sand thoroughly. If the
sand shows as prolific as that bailed
out through such q volume of water
would indicate there is the brightest
kind of a future ahead for the south
Coalinga field.
This is practically the first good
showing made in the south field, and
the excitement and interest is war
ranted. The discovery of a light oil
there will be the means of doubling the
amount of development work.

NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
RED STAR STRIKE LEADS
TO EXTENSIVE DEPOSIT

NEVADA CITY, Nov. 21.-The rich
strike made in the Red Star mine at
Allegheny few days ago continues to
hold good. 1t is said the find is as rich
as any ever made in the Allegheny dis
trict, and there is every evidence of 1t
being extensive.
Wednesday one carload of quartz was
taken out that is valued at $4,000,
showing how literally the ore is inn
pregnated with the yellow metal. The
vein Is six feet In width and there is
bonanza stuff clear across it.
The first Indications of the strike
came in a little stringer of gold. The
stringer was followed only short dis
tance before 1t led to the main ledge.
The first shot revealed a golden mass.
something that the Red star people had
anticipated for some time.
Where the high grade was uncovered
is at considerab depth and the vein
is the northern extension of the ia
nous Tightner, which is also yielding
some phenomenally rich stuff right
along.

PARADISE MINE SHUTS DOWN

PARADISE, New, Nov. 21.-The Cab
ifornia and Paradise company has sus-
pended operations in the Leadville
shaft pending action on the report to
be made by II. Vincent Wallace, who a
few days ago concluded an examina-
tion of all the holdings of the company.
Nine miners and a number of Mexican
wood choppers are affected by the sus-
pension, Superintendent Richards be-
ing the only mine employe retained.
The pump was pulled up to the 100
level and left there. the lower or 200
level being allowed to fill with water.
Various reasons. other than that con-
nected with the engineers examination
of and report on the mine, are and will
be assigned also. The principal rea-
son. however, is friction in the COM
pany dating from the consolidation of
the old c. & P. with the Nebraska and

EMPIRE STRIKES RICH
ORE NEAR OLD SHAFT
Rock Running High in Silver and
Copper Is Uncovered in
Princess Group

In a shallow shaft on property Of
the Empire Copper and Gold Mining
company, Johnson district, Cochise
county, Arizona, a rich strike of sill
yer and copper was made several days
ago, according to advices received at
headquarters in Los Angeles yester-
day. The strike was made at depth
of fife feet in a shaft being sunk
on the vein a short distance from the
double compartment shaft of the Prin-
cess group. The vein is almost YER
tical being so degrees, and the new
shaft was sunk therein to determine
values. The ore which arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday runs high in sill
yer and SHOWS up strong in copper.
The superintendent in his report says
that the vein shows permanency.
The Empire made another strike,
about three weeks ago, on the Centur-
ion group. On the 425-foot level ore
was encountered that runs ninety
ounces silver. The company an
nounces it will begin shipping from
this property the first of the year and
that the shipments will be at regular
inter rals thereafter.
H. H. Morrow of the Empire has
been east for the past several months
in the interest of his company. He
has closed deals there and 1t is said
the company now has splendid east
ern connections and backing.
ALL AROUND PROPERTY
The Empire is one Of the newer
properties in Arizona which has been
actively engaged in exploitation the
past several years. At first this prop
erty showed up chiefly in copper, b t
by acquiring other groups and by
systematic prospecting Of the old and
new claims rich gold and silver val
ues were discovered making the en-
tire property probably one Of the rich
est general mining propositions In the
territory
The Dragons, the companys super
intendent writes, are now especially
active, as the country is filed with
prospectors doing their annual assess
ment work. He also says several par
ties of visitors, with a view to invest
ment, have recently inspected prop
critics of the Johnson district.

WILL SHIP ACTON MILL
TO MEXICAN MOUNTAINS

Collin Timmons, mining engineer,
manager and principal owner of the
properties of the Guerrero Mining and
Milling company, is now in San Diego
for the purpose of shipping lot of
machinery to the mines in the state OF
Guerrero, Mexico.
The company's mine is called Las
Varones, and is an antigua, which was
worked over 100 years ago.
Mr.. Timmons has purchased Lane
slow speed mill of forty tons capacity,
at a cost of $4,000. 1t is sectlonalized
so that 1t can be packed on muleback
over the almost inaccessible noun
tains common in Mexico. The mill is
on the order of Chilian mills, contain
ing six wheels which revolve in steel
tank. AS it is impossible to get heavy
machinery to his property he has pur-
chased this as a test plant, and If sue
cessful, as he believes it will be, he
will add from time to time more Of
these mills.

days and win be completed within four
months, according to the statement of
