The Atlanta Oil company has 1OS
acres in sections q, 22-2S, APP, that is
proved oil land. 1t lies in the we'll
known Sulphur mountain section of the
field, and is surrounded by the produc-
ing properties of the Union, the Liber-
ty, the Puritan, and the Sagar-Loomis
Oil companies. The property is split
by that of the Liberty company, on
which there is a good producing well,
and 500 feet to the north of 1t the Union
company has large producer of 80
gravity oil. The wells of this field
average about 100 barrels a day of dol
lar oil. There are six distinct oil
bearing sands underlying the mountain,
and they vary in thickness from 60 to
250 feet.
well 5000 feet deep taps them all.
Oil experts figure that this part Of the
field will support for long time one

LA DURA SHIPS RICH
VALUES TO SMELTER

The La Dura Mining and Milling
cmpany, recently taken over by the
Mines Company of America, owner
and operator of the La Dura mines
at La Dura, on the Yaqui river, in
Sonora, Mexico, has a credit of ship
ping its ores to the Ell Paso smelling
works continuously for over twenty
years without any interruption, and is
ing mines in the state of Sonora of
to the smelter as mined. The ores are
gold, silver and copper.
Since the La Dura has been taken
over by the new company and new
machinery is being installed under the
management of H. G. Palsgrove,
it is believed the amount of shipments
will be trebled in the near future.
The first five carloads of ore shipped
to Ell Paso smelling works since the
La Dura was acquired by the new
company gave values of over $20,0OO
The acquisition of this great mine was
consummated through George Shroe-
ter, consulting engineer, of the Mines
Company of America.
The Dolores Mines company of Chi
huahua, another acquisition of the
lines Company of America, has re-
Gently added more machinery and re-
Gently begun shipping three or -four
carloads of concentrates to the EI
Paso smelter that run on an average
ten ounces in gold and 900 ounces in
silver a ton. This mine ships a higher
grade of concentrates than any other
mine in Mexico.

GE0LOGIST ANDERSON
is ACCOMPANYING PIERCE

On Uncle Sans pay roll there are a
great many geologists. So many, in
fact, that the director of the geological
survey has a hard time keeping track
of them. Naturally, owing to the
character of the country and the diver
sity of the geological work there is to
do, the majority of them are on duty Oh
the Pacific coast and in the Rocky
mountain states.
Now, according to best authorities,
biologists are as fond of travelling
around over the country and seeing the
sights as Postmaster General Hitch
cock. Accordingly, they saw in Secre-
tary Pierce's proposed trip a chance to
travel around a bit, and the suggestion
had no sooner come to the mind of f1f-
teen or twenty of said geologists than
they wired Mr.. Pierce or wrote him
lengthy letters explaining why he
should use his influence to have them
assigned to the duty of accompanying
him on the trip to Bakersfield.
With a stack of kilograms and letters
before him upon that subject, Secretary
Pierce was in a quandary. What should
he do? To suggest the name of one
man was to disappoint the others, and
friction might arise as a result. The
only solution was to shift the RESPONSE
bility, in a way, and this is what the
secretary did. He wired the director OF
the geological survey to assign man
to accompany him on the trip to Bak-
ersfield, and here is the telegram that
solved the problem:
'AIr. Secretary Pierce: Geologist Rob-
ert Anderson ordered meet you Bakers

AFTERTHOUGHT MINE
RETIMBERS WORKINGS

Representatives of the Afterthought
Copper company, Ingot, Shasta county,
reports that a force of men is engaged
in filing the slopes and retimbering
the mine before the beginning of the
wet season. This work is being done to
preserve the immense ore bodies for
future extraction.
BY the time this underground repair
work is finished they expect to have
the new and larger air pipe line COM
pleted from the compressor at the
mouth of the tunnel to the lower levels,
over 1000 feet deep. The compressor
building has been enlarged. A new set
of pulleys and counter shaft will be in
stalled so as to work their air compress
sor to better advantage.
AS soon as these machinery improve
ments are completed, development work
in the lower levels will be resumed to
explore the extent Of the new ore body
recently encountered in the 500-foot
level by cross-cutting and driving from
the 600-foot level 100 feet deeper.
1t Is the policy Of the company to
keep the mine in repair and blocking
out larger ore reserves, although there
is sufficient ore in sight at the present
time to keep the smelter in constant
operation for several years after the
railroad is completed.
The work is under the supervision of
S. e. Bretherton of san Francisco, gem

AMERICAN OILFIELDS
FAVORS AGENCY CLUB
Agreement Believed to Be fOT
Best interests of AII-0ther
Field News

That the American Oilhelds company
considers the ency-Associated con-
tract a good things for Agency COM
panies is indicated in a circular sent
out to its stockholders in which the
signing of the contract is cited as one
of the recent developments which has
so improved the prospects of the COM
pany that it has decided to reduce from
eight to six shares the stock bonus
given to stockholders who purchase
$1,000 worth of the company's bonds at
par and accrued interest.
The circular says the new arrange
ment is expected TO result in an in
creased market for the company's pro-
duction. Other reasons for the advance
in the company's prosperity are quoted
as follows
The company is adding seven $4,000
barrel steel tanks to the seven pre-
viously built, and also expects within
a few weeks to finish two reinforced
concrete reservoirs of 100000 and 600,-
600 barrels capacity, which will make
the company's total steel and concrete
storage 1,87O,O00 barrels. The company
now has about 100000 barrels of oil in
storage.
Through the Midland Oil company, a
subsidiary to the American OilfieldS,
the latter has a contract to furnish to
the Santa Fe railroad all of its own
production. This is a variable guam
tity but probably will range from co.
900 to 100000 barrels a month. The
railroad uses $4,000 barrels of oil per
month.
Between April and September 25
the company's production was 1,680,307
barrels of oil. 1t has six wells pro-
ducing, six shut in end eighteen drilled.
The first annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Pyramid Oil COM
pany will be held in San Francisco on
October 1S.
The Merchants Oil company, which
is operating in the eastern extension
of the Santa Maria field, has landed
the 121R-inch casing in it's first well at
400 feet in yellow sand.
The Dominion oil company's we'll No
on section z, 29-17, Coalinga, is down
1850 feet with a ten-inch hole.
The Peerless Oil company has drilled
through the tar sand in the lower
Tinequac. Santa Maria, and is in a
blue shale at 1910 feet. The field gives
promise of becoming quite extensive
The Producers Transportation COM
pany expects to finish the second of it's
big concrete reservoirs at San Luis
Obispo the last of the month.
Captain Barneson, who has bought
the eighty-acre lease of the Essex Oil
III Tie CSuleT OI S6CllOn o.
1929 is underreaming the Essex we'll
and will deepen it in the expectation
of getting the thicker sand struck on
the same section by the La Blanc. The
Essex got but ten feet of sand while
it's neighbor got ninety feet.
According to report the Union OIL
company has a good showing of light
oil at 224O feet on the Traction lease
on section 10, 31-22. Work has been
going on on the Traction for more than
year, the first two wells having been
ruined 1t is also reported that ]. c.
Yancey has struck oil on the same
section, but he is not making the fact
public.
The Castaic Oil company is down
1900 feet with a wildcat we'll in Cas-
taic canyon, six miles from any pro-
ducing we'll. The we'll is west of Sau-
gus in the northern end of Los Angeles
county.

VALUES IMPROVE IN THE
. ARIZ0NA-MICHIGAN SHAFT 7
Winze from TeIfair Hole Encoun-
terS Fault and Picks Up
Vein with Success

GLOBE, Oct. 1e.-The winze at the
50O-foot level Of the Telfair shaft at the
Arizona Michigan property is at a
depth of 100 feet and the nature of
the ground has improved greatly in the
past week. A fault in the vein about
fifty feet from the 500-foot level threw
everything to the north and conse-
quently away From the direction of in
clination of the winze, and for the past
thirty feet the winze has been in the
footwall of the vein.
At about eighty feet from the collar,
however, the vein matter was encoun-
tered again, and the bottom of the
winze to date is in practically pure
hematite. The water level has not as
yet been encountered. The bottom of
the winze is damp, but no water has
been hoisted. This is rather an un-
looked for condition, as water is stand
ing in the Telfair shaft at about fifteen
feet below the level of the collar of the
winze. There is hardly any likelihood
of copper ore being found at the Ari-
zona- Michigan property above the wa
ter level. The likelihood of ore being
found at depth is jus: as great as at
any place in the Copper Hill district.
That is not a country of shallow min
ing, and if the work is ever carried on
and depth at present indications seem
to point conclusively to ore bodies be-
low There is not any great possibility
of the enormous amount Of specular
hematite being deposited without hav-
ing been the results Of a teaching ac-
ton that washed the copper minerals
out and deposited them at lower ho-
rizon, namely, below the level of ground
water.
After a progress of another fifty feet
or so in this winze water should GER
tainly be encountered, and when this
point is reached the management in
tends to crosscut on the vein. This
will open up the vein at 800 feet for
several hundred feet, and should prove
whether or not ore can be expected at
that dRnth

GEM OIL PENETRATES
SANDS AT 2700 FEET

LOMPOC, Oct. 19.-The Gem Oil
company, operating east of the Union
and between that and the Lompoc well,
has entered the oil sand at a depth
of 2700 feet. Visitors at the well

there was no longer doubt of the
strike.
The Pacific Slope company is drill
ing a short distance east of the Gem

PEARLS OF FINEST TYPE
SUCCESSFULLY PRODUCED
BY Secret Method in Japan-story
Told by Dean of Columbia University
One of the Pearls Shown.

New York. Sept 29.-The existing of
a secret method of making pearls
which, if disclosed, would make them
plentiful and cheap was told today by
Professor Bashford dean Of Colun&
bia university. to the American FislN
cries society in session here.
I'm little harbor about fifty miles
south of Toxic, ia pan there has been
produced successfully by a secret pro-
cess pearls that are of the finest type"
said Professor Bashford. when l was
at the university of Japan the emperor
of Japan himself opened three oysters
and took therefronl this new pearl I
now exhibit, SO there is no doubt about
the genuine success of this new exper-
iment. But the secret has been with
held, even from the emperor, other
wise the whole of the pearl industry
would be revolutionized. DR.. n. Mich
ikawa, q graduate of the university
of Toxic, discovered the process and
left his secret to his father in la w,
Mikamoto. one of the most famous
pearl raisers of Japan. I surmise that
the pearl is formed by introducing
scientifically a piece Of mother of pearl
into the shell, around which the pearl
is formed, taking the place of the
worm which nature uses to fern the
core of the naturally grown pearl"
