GODFIELD, Feb. 13.-Sam L. Silver

the project of establishing a big smelter
at Walker Lake, have returned to

Silverman on the trip was prominent
London mining engineer, and upon the
report of the latter will depend whether
the project will be financed in principal
part by English capitalists.
Mr.. Silverman says his visit TO the
Luning district showed that that sec

future if the proper milling facllltles
are afforded. over in Mason valley the
New Yorker and party, through the
courtesy of John J. Welch, superintend-

ties in other sections also created a
favorable impression upon the party

Much of this money, however, will be
invested by the miners in some of the
cheap stocks that are now steadily
climbing up in price or are in line for
doing so on account of the very favor
able developments in various portions
of the camp.
A contract for twenty-five stamp

bv the Tonopah Liberty Mining com
pany, operating about twenty hllles
south of Tonopah The property IS
controlled by Philadelphia capltalists
and T. S. Carnahan is manager 1t Is
expected that the mill will be hnlshed
about the middle of the coming sum-
mer. The contracts for its construc-
tion and for machinery have been
let to the Risdon Iron works, and the
Power, Mining and Machinery COM
pany of Cudahy, Wis.
A large force of men is now en-
gagged in developing the property, and
large quantities of good ore have been
opened. The ore is very much like tilat

bulk of it running from SIT TO 80

MODERN WOODMEN

CITY LEAGUE

Another kink was put in the record
of the Fraternal Aids, leaders in the
City league pcnnant race yesterday.
This time it was the Modern Woodmen
team that accomplished the feat by
the score of 3 to 0, the game being
played on the Agricultural park dia-
mond. No luck and numerous errors
featured the playing of the Fraternal
Aids, while with the Woodmen it was
just the reverse. not an error being
charged against them. Pitcher Cross
man, who twirled for the winners, al
lowed only three safe bingles and
made twelve of his opponents walk
the strike-out plank. Throughout the
entire nine frames only one of the Fra
ternal Aid players reached the second
cushion and this fact alone is a good
indicat tion of the class of heaving per-
formed by Crossman. That the Wood
men, from now on, may be considered
seriously in the race for the rag is
shown by their record of seven straight
wins. This class of ball generally cops
the silk banner. The score:

FULLERTON, Feb. 13-The w. B.
Scott we'll being drilled about one mile
east of the Orange Oil company camp
in direct line with the old Puente field
is reported TO have a good showing
at about 230O feet.
If oil Is secured here it will prove
up a continuous belt extending from
Olinda through Brea canyon to the
Puente pool. 1t seems now quite
probable that the territory between
the Fullerton and the Whittier fields
will some day show a continuous line
of development.
Although the belt so far developed
is rather narrow, enough prospecting
is going on and projected TO prove in
a reasonable time whether the oil for
nation can be reached south of the
hills, on the flats, as it is in the Mid
way and at Coalinga.

The bottom of the hole is in shale,

Mr.. Roberts believes that a narrow
horse of rock separates it from the

twenty feet, for that is the distance
between the two wells. Evidently the

walls of fracture in the shale, ex-
tending to great depth, and a long
