DEVILS DEN AWAITS
COMING OF CAPITAL

COALINGA, April Although every
oil company in the Devils Den is now
shut down with the exception of the
Etzenhauser, which recently got its
hole Strengthened. and the well being
drilled by Graham Bros. over toward
the Kettleman hills, those interested in
the sale of lots in the townsite are
thinking big things for the coming
town, and are patiently waiting for a
producer to be struck.
There is no doubt as to the existence
OF oil in the Devils Den, and in one
place it has been struck in small guam
titles at a very shallow depth, but it
costs money to wildcat in the oil busi-
ness, and those companies there that
have done enough work to hold their
locations are now waiting for the own
ers of land in that district to put up
some money for further development.
These owners seem to be slow In COM
ing through with the necessary cash,
but as they want the land proved it is
possible that they will make some COM
bined effort to lend financial assistance
to the companies now operating thSre.
The town now has about seven build
ings, and more are being erected. There
is the inevitable saloon, a hotel, gem
Cral store and an office of the real
estate firm of Culver & Burroughs.

TRADE INTERESTS CENTER
IN CALIFORNIA OIL ZONE
Petroleum Business Expands in
Many New Fields and Gradu-
ally DiSpIaCes Coal Fuel

There is no more active zone in the
world of business than the territory
that is tributary to California's petro-
leum industry, says 70. Il. Hutton &
Co. The three primary sources of
wealth--agriculture mining and manu-
acturing--within that territory are eX-
pending broadly and deeply. This is
making daily gains in the demands for
crude and refined products Of Cali
fornia petroleum, and makes clear the
point Of the recent statement of the
secretary of the navy in approving
plans for the immediate construction
of several petroleum storage plants on
the Pacific coast. He said:
"The time is not distant when the
navy will require for immediate and
storage purposes a large part of the
production. of California petroleum.
The steam and electric railroads and
Industrial power plants at mines, in
factories and upon farms in the dis
tricts that are the largest consumers
of California petroleum, are using al
most twice as much per annum as was
recorded five years ago. Several rail
roads and refineries on the Pacific
coast which two years ago brought
only from wells operated by corpora
tions with which they are in a COM
munity of interest, finding themselves
unable to procure from those sources
adequate supplies of crude oil, are
buying literally from number of in
dependent producers. A fact of prime
significance in the California petroleum
situation is, that the results from the
recent federal inquiries into the petro-
leum industry the country over have
resulted in putting an end to the Sc
cret rebates on rail hauls of petroleum,
and against the one-time well-night
general practice of certain common
cerriers in refusing to handle the pri-
Vate' tank cars of all producers in
California who were not in COM
munity of interest with the principal
or rators of those systems of common
carriage on commodities.
A few years ago it |as a common
sight along the roads in the petroleum
zone of California to see trains of
tank cars. fully loaded, held up from
six to eight weeks by interests hostile
to the development of wells other than
those controlled by men identified with
the common carriers who did the things
they have ceased to do since the fed
eral petroleum-tra investigation was
made.

northwest corner OF section 6, 1928, Sc
cured on a lease from M. T. Waite of
Los Angeles, says the Bakersfield on

Of $12,500 and will pay one-eighth
royalty. The delay in securing supplies
is holding back the beginning of opera

The company is Incorporated for $3OO'-
900. Bert Hanford, who is also inter

organizers are John Plant, Charles
I<insey and James d. Kennedy, all of
San Francisco. Plant will have charge

Kennedy is the son Of James A. Ken

and sugar man on the Islands. The cid
er Kennedy is investing in the Califor-
MIA oil fields, as are his island assocl-
ates. Young Kennedy has just returned
from a trip TO Honolulu in the interest
of several California oil propositions,
and he found that the oil fever has
spread to the middle of the Pacific.

MINE NEAR NINA CUTS
PICTURE ROCK STREAK

NINA, New, April 1.-Douglass
camp i'm the Gold Range mining dis
trict, seven miles west of Nina, expe-
rienced a real mining excitement this
week when eighteen inches of picture
rock were cut in the shaft at the 1l5-
foot level on the Hyde lease on the
Oriole claim Of the United Cold hange
corporation.
All through the mass of quartz the
yellow metal was visible to the naked
eye. The values from paintings were
fror, s6OO 10 $1,000 a ton. The ore,
when carefully brought to the surface
took the old pioneer miners of the

M0NTANANS TAKE OPTION
ON COPPER CREEK CLAIMS

A mining operation of some magni-
tude is reported from Copper Creek,
Ariz., to the effect that E. w. Childs,
who is extensively interested in mining
property in the Copper Creek district,
has given an option to the East Butte
Mining company of Butte, Mont, on
twelve claims in the heart of the dis
trict.
These claims have not been thorough
ly developed, but give every exterior
evidence OF value. The amount of
money involved by the option is not
known, but it is believed to be large.
The East Butte people will soon as
sumo the active management of the
claims and exploit them fully.

The Evening Chit Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

THERE is a little new mother across the street from us, who, because
she seems to all of us such a young and helpless mite o have charge
of another ever younger and more helpless mite, is the constant e.
cipient Of wise advice and suggestions and "how-I-did-Hs" from all the
mothers in the neghborhood. 4
Most of this she receives wfHing ly-no, avidly.
But the other day she rebeled.
This is how it happened.
The lady who is born with a mania for regulating everyone's affairs
came in to zee the baby 5000
She admired him enthusiastically enough to suit even the little
way of the other mothers there would have been on trouble at all. but
instead she ven about 1t this way. 49,
Addressing the baby: $50 he was a bufum, bufum little baby, but
why didn't he tell his mother that she had his little garters too tight SO
they drew his little legs right up?" sea-
"Oh, did he yawn. was he real sleepy? Bless his little heart He
must tell his mother that he needs a longer nap in the morning than she
gives him. -~~- &
When she took her departure after half a hours conversatea
thnkly jewaed with the modest pearls of insinuated wisdom like the
above. the little mother came back from seeing her to the door with
tightly shut lips and a flame If resentment O her cheeks.
Tell the lady the next time she comes here that your mother
silly way" she admon1shed the baby solemnly, and then In answer tony
laugh, "Oh yes, 1 suppose 1 will, because she knows such alot; bat don't
you hate hints?"
To which question, though I should call the suggestions of the
Lady who has a mania for regulating other peoples affairs rather too
broad for hints, as able to give a warm affirmative.
Don't YOU?
Do you know anything more exasperatng, for instance, than to
have someone with whom you have been talking ten minutes o~t ~ tele-
phone begin to hint that she Is going out that evening instes telling
you frankly the moment you called up that she had an engagement and
would rather you called up the next night, which you would ave been
entirely willing to do?
To unnecessary frankness in the speaking of disagreeabe things I
a a most militant foe.
But to frankness and directness in the matter of necessary facts, as
opposed to hints, l am As vigorous a friend. r
Commend me for a friend to that kind of person who never says a
thinks it will, says it frankly and plainly instead of limiting.
